Vacation rentals in Eastern Finland

Lovely midsummer in a lovely cottage, thanks! We were surprised that the cottage was a duplex, but the family on the other side let us have some privacy and was nice anyway. Everything went smoothly.

Our group of seven spent four nights at Miia's cottage on the shores of Linnansaari National Park. We had an excellent time! The main cottage is on the small side for seven, the three kids were going to sleep in a loft space but with the noise challenges of lofts we elected to have them sleep in the sauna cottage, which has a beautiful sleeping space. We took full advantage of the ping pong table, darts, hot tub and sauna(s). We also rowed over to nearby islands several times (tons of mushrooms growing over there!). There were no other people nearby, really, so it felt very private. The back deck is perfect for lounging and eating meals when the weather is good. Miia helped us find a local fishing guide and gave us other helpful recommendations. We popped south to Savonlinna one day to walk the town and have a meal. All in all, we highly recommend a stay at Miia's!

Great house and communication thanks

The posting is very accurate: a peaceful cottage in the woods with lake access. There are XC trails nearby that can be walked. The place is remote, but not far from a bus station if needed. Host provided potable water and there were plenty of heat sources to stay warm. A lovely and affordable retreat for anyone looking to escape into nature.

Just a cottage in the woods, with no neighbors nearby. Sauna excellent. Beautiful scenery.

We really loved our stay at Mikko's place. The location is fantastic, with a pier and a beach leading to the lake. The cottage faces south, so it gets a lot of sunlight during the day which is great. The cottage was very well equipped with two kitchens to chose from, a rowing boat, a grill, a garden swing and many more items. Very clean water from a well. The equipment and wifi worked perfectly. The wood-fired sauna is also well located next to the lake with a separate cloak room. Mikko's lovely "mökkimummo" greeted us upon arrival and gave us a tour of the grounds. Only small concern was that we did not know before that the grounds are shared with another cottage about 40m away. However, the neighbour seemed to only be there for some of the time and kept to himself, so we still felt like we had our privacy. Groceries in Lieksa were about a 20 minutes drive by car. Overall a great and authentic way to experience Finnish nature and lifestyle!

Our stay at Ilkka's place was perfect in every respect. When we arrived, Ilkka's wife welcomed us and introduced us to the apartment, describing in detail all the facilities and the rules. The apartment was very warm, clean, comfortable and well equipped. It is located in a very silent area. The university is at walking distance and the city center can be easily reached by bus. Instructions about how to move in the surroundings can be found in the apartment. We really loved this place and would like to come back soon to enjoy the beautiful nature and quality of life.
