There aren't any electricity or running water in the cabin. You can buy 5 or 10 liter drinking water -tanks from the Juankoski grocerystore, S-Market. If you want to download your phone I recommend to take some downloaded powerbank with you.

The cabin is dark inside because of the smokey walls. As light you may use some candles, lanterns and batterylights. Please be extra carefull if you use candles! Cottage´s spare batteries and candles are free to use. 

The cabin is located very peacefull place by the lake. Nature is all over! The water of the lake is bright. You can use it for wash the dishes in the cabin and to wash yourself in the sauna. The lake is a good place to swim too. Please take attension that the water is getting deep very quickly.
