Welcome to our Homepage!


The Toivola Cottage and Nature Services (Toivolan Mökki- ja Luontopalvelut Ky) are designed just for you since we want to make your excursions or holidays enjoyable and relaxing. We are here to help you with all the cottage-related chores and can organise a diversified programme of excursions into the surrounding countryside and handicraft courses; the themes, of course, depend on the time of year.
