It has 72 beds in 21 bedrooms across three buildings, a dining hall for 60 to 70 guests, three meeting spaces and, in summer, a program tent for 200. It hosts meetings, training days, staff days, camps and parties, and is run by a Christian youth organization for Christian groups and other nonprofit communities.
Seminars and company events
Each of the three buildings has its own meeting space. The hall in Majatalo is about 85 square meters and takes 45 people in a meeting layout or about 85 in rows of chairs. Puustelli's upper hall is about 60 square meters with a skylight and takes 25. Sepän tupa, in Sepän talo, is about 35 square meters with 1700s log walls and a lake view, and takes 20. Equipment includes screens or a projector, flip charts, a whiteboard in Puustelli, wireless internet and pianos. The center names staff days, training days and congregation gatherings among its uses. Large events can use the summer tent, which holds 200 people and has a stage, benches and electricity.
Weddings and receptions
The official site lists parties among the events it hosts. The ground floor of Puustelli has a dining room that can be set up as a party hall with white tablecloths. It seats 60 to 70, with 14 more seats in side rooms, and has a fireplace, a piano, a lake-facing terrace and a separate serving room. The site does not market weddings, and the log chapel, which holds about 35 people, is unheated. Ask before planning a ceremony.
