Etelä-Kalaton is a stunning log-built wilderness cabin located in Rokansalo, Puumala, nestled in a unique ridge landscape by a peaceful forest lake. With no nearby neighbors, the cabin offers unspoiled tranquility and pure nature.

A separate wood-heated lakeside sauna sits right by the water, providing breathtaking westward views towards the sunset, both from the cabin and the sauna. The cabin was renovated in spring 2023.
