There is also a separate sitting area with a desk, and a private bath with a shower on this floor. You can reserve one bedroom, or two for a group. (We do not offer the two bedrooms to unrelated guests, so you never have to share the floor/bath with someone you don't know.) We also have a wood-fired sauna and a hot tub. Guests are welcome to store their food in our fridge and to reheat prepared foods in our gas oven, as we don't have a microwave. You are welcome to make a salad, or sandwiches, but we are not prepared for guests to cook meals. Experience has taught us that it's not a good fit for us.
