Young Brunette Girl On The Bed With A Mirror In The Wooden Cottage

Statistics Finland defines that a cottage (in Finnish: mökki, in Swedish stuga or villa) is "a residential building that is used as a holiday or free-time dwelling and is permanently constructed or erected on its site" . Finnish cottages are traditionally built of logs, but other wood constructions have become common. They are usually situated close to water, and almost all have a sauna.
There are 474,277 cottages in Finland (2005), the country with 187,888 lakes and 179,584 islands. Rental holiday cottages of enterprises engaged in the accommodation industry, buildings of holiday villages and buildings on garden allotments are excluded in the statistics. 4,172 new cottages were built in 2005. Most cottages are situated in the municipalities of Kuusamo (6,196 cottages on January 1, 2006), Kuopio (5,194), Ekenäs (Tammisaari - 5,053), Mikkeli (4,649), and Mäntyharju (4,630).
