Name story
One autumn afternoon in the late eighties two gentlemen, one of whom was a Finn, walked to the river in Kavastu. The site suggested that once it might have been possible to cross the river by raft there.
Men’s attention was attracted by a shabby cottage from the old metal chimney of which smoke rose toward the sky. Knocking on the door did not give results but its opening created a strong alcohol and cigarette smell. From under a very dirty blanket showed toes, longing for soap and water. After the guests’ hello the toes’ owner’s swollen and hairy face appeared. When asked: What are you doing here? the answer came: Guarding the raft. The guests’ question Where is the raft? received in
response that it had been stolen.
The incident was so striking that Finnish media reflected it widely and the guesthouse thus got its name (Stolen Raft’s Hotel) even before its construction was started. Frequent Finnish guests to the guesthouse today claim Kavastu raft to be more known by Finns than the thirty rafts in Finland.
