    Rumor has it this place is more like it.

    EDIT:

    It looks like someone will scold you if you actually enjoy the surrounding scenery and then track a little mud when you get home.
    Since this is in Finland, you'd be expected to remove your hiking boots or Wellies at the door.

    I like it.

    It may not be what I would do myself if I were to build/buy a lakeside cottage but I would stay there in a heartbeat.

    Let's all rent it together and have a big Apricity party.

    Ugh! I hate 'shoes off at the door' in the countryside. Here, I'm in and out so much that it becomes impractical (although wellies are easy to slip on & off--but anything with laces, forget it).

    The rule in my house is: come in and please leave your shoes on!

    Most homes around here require a strict shoes off at the door policy!

    Of course mukluks and moon books slip on and off rather easily.
