The highlight of this retreat in the forest is its wonderful lakeside location. It offers basic B&B rooms in three buildings and a self-contained villa sleeping up to eight; the villa has a private sauna. Rantakatti has a restaurant, plenty of animals for the children to visit and rowboats for hire (€5 per hour). It's popular with school groups.
