Family-friendly holiday rentals in Saimaa

Nothing to complain about :)

If you're out for modern pampering, this is not for you.But if you want ti be alone by the lake, without a shower and regular toilet, but wit a row boat, wood fired sauna and hot tub, compost toilets (but also electricity, full kitchen, cellular coverage and tv) and most if all the amazing beauty around (incl. mosquitoes) memorable, then definitely go fir it. we had a wonderful time.

We had a magical stay. Everything is beautiful, the setting, the accommodation, the beach, the sound... even better than the photos suggest. Uta is a very considerate host, and kind and ready to give good advice on things to do in the area. I would highly recommend it. If we have the opportunity we will happily come back.

Very cute and atmospheric cabin full of delightful and beautiful details. The perfect place for casual lounging and calming by the fire and candlelight. We enjoyed ourselves!

This house is what you want for yourself. Kari has created a really beautiful place for himself and his family. Everything you needed was really there.

Wonderful house very well equipped, with a magnificent view. Kristian was kind to us, very kind and very responsive. We recommend this house. 5 stars.

Paradise on Earth! Our stay at this beautiful lakefront property in Kangasniemi was nothing short of perfect. The location is incredibly peaceful and private, offering a true escape into nature. We loved having not one, but two saunas to enjoy—the perfect way to unwind after a day of exploring the surrounding area. The house itself was spacious, comfortable, and equipped with everything we needed for a relaxing stay. Waking up to serene lake views and being able to take a quick dip after heating up in the outside sauna was a highlight of our trip. One thing to note: linens and towels aren’t included, so be sure to negotiate those with the host beforehand if you need them. If you’re looking for a place to relax and recharge in total tranquility, this is the spot. We can’t recommend it enough!

Very spacious and comfortable home for a larger group getaway! The yard and beach were also heavily used, and cozy from a children's perspective. The owners were helpful and quick to reach.

Super cozy cottage. Everything was super explained, we had a great weekend with lots of walks. Highly recommend it:)

Great, cozy, clean house in a quiet village, suitable for relaxing with children and rebooting. The house is clean and there is everything you need . Oleg explained in great detail how to get there , where it is better to drive to the store, handing over the keys. All questions were answered quickly

It was our best Airbnb experience. The house is very cozy, well-equipped with attention to detail, and exceptionally clean. The amenities available include a sauna, BBQ area, trampoline, fireplace, bicycles, boat, fishing rod, and various equipment for active games. The lake is amazing, and we even picked mushrooms and berries just a few steps from the house. The host is very friendly and ready to help at any time. The place is quiet and peaceful - an excellent choice, especially for families with kids. Highly recommend!

Manuel ist a super host, very engaged to make our stay pleasant and very discreet. We had access to a beautiful natural beach but also to boats and a very nice fire place wir BBQ facilities. My kids loved the traditional wood sauna and the new hot tube. Thank you again!

A cabin in a quiet lakeside location. The house has absolutely everything you need for life. There is a sauna near the house. There is a boat and you can fish. The nearest town and supermarkets are a 12-minute drive away. At first the host didn't respond to messages and we were a little worried. But in 24 hours, she sent check-in instructions. The instructions are a little unclear and lacks the coordinates of the house. Maybe if she was in English it would be better because the translation from Finnish is not perfect. If you are coming from the south, the gps takes you to a dead end to a closed barrier. It can be opened, or you can drive in from the turn that is to the north. Please note, the listing says that cleaning is not included in the price, but the cost is not included. It turned out that you need to pay extra for cleaning another 120 euros!!! We left the house in perfect condition, not clear why such a high price. Overall, I liked everything.

I went here with 10 friends for midsommar! it was really peaceful and beautiful.

Very peaceful place to spend family time and relax. I recommend that it's a holiday destination. It was very good in winter so will be amazing in the summer with all what you need for a perfect holiday. 🥰

A very suitable cottage for a few people in a beautiful quiet location by the lake, yet close to the services of Kouvola. There wasn't an oven in the kitchen, but thankfully this was what we did in advance from Google ratings so we knew how to change the menu accordingly. The firewood was quite big and the grill required the purchase of charcoal, but otherwise everything was found and worked. Very nice and helpful owners who helped quickly if needed :)

The accommodation is cozy,very well equipped, tidy. Very perfect for us.

The room was better than I expected, quite large, we had our own entrance and could park the car in front of it. Toilet was clean but a bit dated. The room had a bunk bed which wasn’t shown in the picture or listed in text. It was fine for us but could be a problem for people with limited mobility. Breakfast was quite basic but nice. I would appreciate if fresh fruit were added though. The place was almost empty which is probably bad for business but was awesome for us. We had a whole empty spa for ourselves :) Checking in and out was seamless and pleasant. We got to keep our room for couple of hours over check out time without any fee.

The house was exactly what we were looking for: a cabin in the middle of the woods, in full contact with nature, perfect for admiring the lake area. We were right on a lake practically everything to ourselves, we also took a nice ride on the lake with the rowboat (there was also the engine but we didn't use it) and the sauna all to ourselves! Awesome!!! In the evening, eating outdoors in silence was wonderful. When we returned to the house we turned on the fireplace, beautiful. The children especially appreciated the darts and the pier on the lake. The house had all the comforts, even if the bathroom was external and organic: a hole with a bucket underneath, where you had to throw fertilizer between times, but it was all reported and it was also fun! The only problem was the cleanliness, because the house was not very clean, but so in the middle of the woods we could safely bear: we cleaned a little and adapted. In general, I highly recommend it!!

We had an absolutely amazing stay at this cottage! It was clean, spacious, and perfect for large groups. The place felt brand new, and the view of the lake was simply breathtaking. The BBQ area was the best we’ve ever had at a cottage, and we loved having a pool table to enjoy. The host was incredibly kind and helpful throughout our stay. The lake itself was large and beautiful, and rowing there was an unforgettable experience. The hot tub and sauna were also fantastic additions. Highly recommend!

Visa & Noora were very gracious hosts. They responded to messages very quickly and comprehensively. Their instructions were also extensive and varied. The place is really nice and quiet, so we got to ourselves. Very good for a large group with space for everyone and things to do! Strong recommendation for hosts and the listing!
