KÄPYLÄ

Holiday home details

Käpylä is a modest rental cabin, located 55 km north of Tampere, that once accommodated forest reindeer herders. Käpylä is an old-fashioned cabin, where renowned Finnish author Kalle Päätalo stayed while constructing Jaulin Kämppä rental cabin.

Käpylä is well-suited for families and smaller groups who do not require luxury or modern interiors on their vacation. The property is old and shows signs of wear, but it offers a nostalgic grandmother’s home atmosphere, perfect for those who appreciate rustic charm.
