About this property

Lumi Talo - Retro quintessential two-story cedar lodge

Lumi Talo - Finnish for "Snow House"

This retro quintessential two-story cedar lodge is located at the base of Mt Buller - nestled amongst the gum trees.

This lodge boasts a comfortable living space with a large coonara fireplace, split system air conditioning, TV, DVD and board games. Also 5 bedrooms (4 with en-suites) being 2 queen bedrooms and 3 bunk rooms all with oil bar heaters. The master bedroom upstairs also has a spa bath.

Lumi Talo welcomes you into the large entry hall, where you'll begin to nestle into this charming timber lodge with red carpet and stained-glass windows which gives you a genuine yet classic retro feel. A period kitchen is perfect for big cook-ups which flow to dining and living rooms all on the ground floor.

On the veranda you will find the BBQ and outdoor seating - perfect for large families looking to enjoy the outdoors year round.

Lumi Talo is just five minutes drive from Mt Buller entry gates, so you can be on Mt Buller skiing in 30 minutes or just enjoy the Winter terrain.
Stretch out in the jetted tub. Other standard amenities include a washing machine, 2.5 bathrooms, and a fireplace.
