A unique accommodation for families with children! As a specialty, there’s the school’s gymnasium, where children have space to run around and play.
Wanha koulu’s “Onnela” Family Apartment offers unique accommodation for families with children. As a specialty, there’s the school’s gymnasium, where children have space to run around and play. While the children release energy in the hall, adults also have their own peace in the upstairs dining area. Win-win! 🙂 🙂
Several families can be accommodated, i.e. 10+6 people. Onnela has been renovated in 2020 respecting the original spirit of the old school, and in 2022 we renewed the shower facilities, toilets and kitchen.

Onnela uses a log sauna in the yard. You can also rent the cabin connected to it for your use.

On the ground floor, there’s the living room with a Smart TV and a large sofa, where you can relax after a hard day of sports. There is also a game area in the corridor for table games. There is also a games room in the hallway for table games.
There’s plenty of space for up to 20 people to enjoy meals together in the dining room. The space is decorated with earthy forest wallpapers. In addition to the large dining table, the room includes a sofa corner.
Onnela’s large kitchen has space to cook for even a larger group. There is lots of room and workspace for a larger group to cook in Onnela’s spacious kitchen. There are versatile cooking utensils, a refrigerator, a freezer, an induction stove, a convection oven, a microwave oven, a dishwasher, and cutlery for 20 people. Työskentelytilaa on runsaasti sekä saareke ja kaksi baarijakkaraa keskellä keittiötä.
Would you also like to have time off from cooking? Ask for catering services from local Pölli and Kaisla restaurants.
The children’s favorite in Onnela is the school’s original 70m2 sports hall, which offers lots of playing space for children and plenty of different toys and play equipment. While the children are playing in the hall, the adults also get a moment of their own time and peace. Lasten mellestäessä salissa saavat aikuisetkin hetken omaa aikaa ja rauhaa.
As a specialty we have a yoga shala/dojo/small gym with a tatami floor. It can be used daily between 6 AM and 8 PM.
There are 4 separate bedrooms downstairs:
Bedroom 1: 2+3 pers. Loft 140cm, 90cm wide bed, sofa bed 140cm
Bedroom 2: 3+1 pers. Loft 140cm, 90cm wide bed x 2
Bedroom 3: 3+1 pers. Loft 140cm, 90cm wide bed x 2
Bedroom 4: 2+1 pers. Loft 140cm, 100cm wide bed
Onnela’s customers can use the wood-heated yard sauna “Akansauna”, which was completed in 2021. Onnela’s sauna shift is daily from 19:00 to 21:00, or by agreement. Additional hours can also be rented.
The sauna is heated by the guests. Heating up the sauna is a favorite activity together with the children, fetching water, and making a fire.
Onnela has air conditioning both upstairs and downstairs, free WiFi, and plenty of parking spaces, including 2 spaces for a block heater. (Not suitable for electric car charging.) (Ei sovellu sähköauton lataukseen.)

The facility can be combined with a Family Apartment, in which case the total number of Accommodation places is 20+9.
Sheets and towels are available for an additional fee of €15/set. If you prefer, you can also bring your own. Please make sure that sheets are used on the beds to avoid an additional cleaning fee.
Onnela is reserved entirely for the guests’ own use. There may be guests in other apartments in the building, but all spaces are separate. Only the yoga room on the basement floor can be used by all residents.
The location for skiing is great. I loved the village ski trail! The house’s snowshoes, sleds, and kick sleds were also utilized. The gym was heavily used and sausages were grilled on the campfire site.
Nice accommodation for even a larger group. The private gym was very much to the liking of the children, as was the quiet courtyard.
