After one night there our kids asked if we could come here for a longer period of time someday.

The owner makes the atmosphere of this place. He finds a time to talk with every of his guests, reccomends the best places to visit. Our kids were amazed by his stories. The location is wonderful, we saw a wonderfull sunset, with mist falling on the meadows. In the pond, children had fun feeding the carp. The room was clean, smelled nice ad fresh. Everything was perfect.

Breakfast was normal. Pond was nice to have and use but with somewhat scary hungry fish. Riisa nature trail was sufficiently nearby.

Great host, quiet location in nature

The owner was very friendly, talkative and helpful and made us feel welcome. The place is nice, located in the middle of nature and has ample common space in the first floor if you are travelling with a bigger company. The breakfast was good and the kitchen is well equipped. Our child was happy to see the sheep and cows. :)

Great and silent stay with a really friendly owner

The place is very beautiful and also very cozy. The owner is super friendly and very helpful :) There is a great sauna that we couldn't use because we only stayed for one night and didn't have the time. But people say it's great! So go there and visit! :)

We loved our stay at Ponka Guesthouse very much. It‘s quiet and peaceful and close to all attractions of Sooma-Nationalpark. Raivo is a very friendly,funny and communicative host and we loved chatting with him. He had good tips for spending the day around. Of course jumping into the pond and the evening sauna was an experience and worth it. If we come back, we will stay there again.
