Island vacation rentals in Finland

Beautiful island and truly a perfect spot to wind down and enjoy slow living.

This cabin was luxurious with a lot of attention to details, a gorgeous sauna, and a beautiful clear lake. It is so amazingly quite. Sari and his husband were extremely friendly and the chats and delicious cake made us feel at home.

Really nice cabin on the lake: quiet, with a nice trail reachable by boat and/or kayak (provided with the cabin). The outside kitchen has everthing you need to cook. Cool place to go for a family with one kid.

A truly magical place, your own little universe. A quiet and peaceful place like this is not easy to come by these days, especially not with all the modern amenities that Pirjo's place offers. Private sauna, comfortable beds, a well-equipped kitchen, fast WiFi, near-total isolation with a town still in reach... I could go on. A true gem in the middle of the beautiful Finnish nature and without a doubt the best Airbnb I ever stayed at. Pirjo herself is an amazing host. Not only did she always reply quickly and very helpfully – she went out of her way multiple times to accommodate and go the extra mile for me, organizing helpful things for me that I didn't even ask her to. I am so grateful to Pirjo, whose hospitality has been the cherry on top of this amazing vacation-cake. Also the island's caretaker, Heikki, was super nice and helpful and I'm happy to have met him. Sadly I didn't meet Pirjo to thank her in person but I hope we will once I inevitably come back for another stay.

We had a fantastic and wonderfully relaxing time on this beautiful little private island. The island and the surrounding area are marvellous, beautifully quiet and the opportunity to explore the area by motorboat was a special experience for us. The hosts were also very friendly and very accommodating. Many thanks again and we would love to come back!

We spent a wonderful weekend in this house in nature, and it was a true getaway for the soul! The house is located in a picturesque spot right by the lake, making it perfect for those who love fishing and peaceful walks in the fresh air. In the morning, stepping out onto the terrace, we were greeted by a stunning view of the water and forest — a true feast for the eyes! The house is cozy, clean, and fully equipped with everything we needed. The kitchen was convenient, and we were able to cook the fresh fish we caught ourselves. And we caught quite a lot — the lake had excellent fishing! In the evening, we had a picnic outdoors, surrounded by silence, with only the sounds of nature. The barbecue and firewood were all prepared in advance by the hosts. We especially loved the fireplace inside, which made the evenings warm and cozy. This is the perfect place to disconnect from the hustle and bustle of the city

Tanja was very nice and helpful. The house is very cozy, secluded, quiet… it is in an idyllic place and has everything you need and more. If I went back, I would stay here again. At first, the snowy roads and the hour and a half to Rovaniemi may be scary, but it's well worth it. There's an incredible tranquility. There's not a sound. The house is at a very good temperature. Again, I greatly appreciate Tanja for all the details and her attention.

It was a wonderful experience, totally recommended, to be repeated and stay longer. Vesa is a great host, he was waiting for us even though we were late, access to the cabin was like out of a movie, very nice, with the path lit with natural "candles", by snowmobile. The cabin was very warm, it has everything, it is authentic, cozy, the sauna is great. I loved everything, thank you so much!!

This place was the absolute highlight of our trip to Finland! It's the most beautiful little island and everything was very clean and tidy. We really enjoyed it and would love to return one day.

We had a great stay for 3-4 days. The island is exactly as described. Timo was helpful and very responsive when we needed him. Transfer from and to the small Vaasa airport was smooth (20mn by car and 10mn by boat, despite strong winds and a few waves on the return). A great place if you are prepared to disconnect and slow down. Our main activities were paddling, swimming (with neoprene swimsuit), going around the island with the boat, fishing (perches), playing board games, and enjoying the sauna. We were lucky not to have too many mosquitoes (only in the evening) and in any case, the house is well protected.

We have stayed in this cottage on the island twice now. We love it! So unique, nicely decorated and so peaceful. I hope I could spend a weekend in this place once a month! Like a retreat for the soul. Please know that you should be familiar with rowing and warming up a Finnish sauna. There are not many directions on how to use everything and the rowing is definitely longer than 5min. It would be lovely if the cottage was checked between guests (this time there was a bag of the dirty linens in the cottage when we arrived) but we understand since the host is renting multiple places and this cottage is on an island. If you want to experience peace in beautiful Finnish archipelago away from all of the noise and business then this place is for you. Just remember to switch off your cellphone!

If you are looking for Paradise, stop looking, this is it! One of our Best Airbnb experience . But if you want fancy restaurants, shops, crowded places or a toilet with a flush, this is not for you. This place is for people with a bit of Robinson Crusoe in them. There is a great sauna, you can swim, read or do some bird-watching... We are already thinking about coming back. Mikaela and her husband Thomas were perfect hosts.

The cottage is in a beautiful location, on an island surrounded by crystal clear waters. Obviously you have to keep in mind that there are not all the comforts, but the place is unique for those who love to be immersed in nature and away from the confusion.

Peaceful place good for family
