Description of the home we are offering for exchange
SUMMER HOME, Villa Varpa
We offer you our summer home in Varpaisjarvi. It is by a lake, 55 km (45 min drive) from Iisalmi, with a separate sauna cottage with extra beds. There you can use our private beach, a canoe and a rowing boat. The summerhouse lies on a very quiet and peaceful place still near the community of Varpaisjarvi.

SUMMER HOME
Peaceful place by the lake in Varpaisjärvi. No neighbours near, safe for kids. If you want to explore the unspoiled and beautifull nature there are several marked natural trails near us reached easily by the car. The area is very quiet rural area, shops, bank and church 2,5 km away.

If you like to go shopping or sightseeing, city of Kuopio is a great place for that. It´s only a half an hour car drive away from our summer home. Kuopio has wonderful places for shoppers and also nice places for sightseeing. Traditional white inland boats, as well as modern vessels, operate both scheduled and chartered cruises on the lake Kallavesi.
The 18-hole golf course at Tahko is located in a beautiful setting next to Lake Syväri about 20 km from our summer house. Golfers can stop for refreshments, a sauna or a meal at the club building. Tahko's speciality is Midnight Sun golf. You can play right through the bright northern night!
