Property Description

Property Summary

Nestled in the heart of Finland, this charming log cottage in Rääkkylä offers an authentic and tranquil holiday rental experience for those seeking a genuine lakeside retreat. Built in 1998, the property is a traditional log cottage that accommodates guests across a well-considered layout comprising a living room, a fully equipped kitchen, 2 separate bedrooms, a sleeping gallery, and a dedicated dressing room. The first bedroom is furnished with a double bed, while the second bedroom features 2 beds, and the sleeping gallery provides 2 additional mattresses, ensuring comfortable accommodation for a group of varying size. The cottage is positioned just 25 metres from the shores of Lake Orivesi, a vast and scenic body of water spanning 536 square kilometres, renowned for its shallow, sandy bottom and exceptional natural beauty.

Outdoors

The outdoor spaces of this cottage are among its most compelling features, offering direct and privileged access to the natural lakeside environment. A private jetty extends toward the calm waters of Lake Orivesi, and guests have exclusive use of their own boat, making it effortless to explore the expansive lake at leisure. The terrace provides a welcoming space for outdoor relaxation, whether enjoying a morning coffee with views over the water or dining al fresco during the long Finnish summer evenings. The traditional wood-heated sauna, accessed from outside the main cottage, completes the outdoor experience and stands as a quintessential element of Finnish lakeside living, inviting guests to unwind in time-honoured fashion before cooling off by the lake.

Other Information

The cottage heating is provided through traditional means consistent with the log construction and the wood-heated sauna, which is accessed via a dedicated exterior entrance separate from the main living areas. The dressing room within the cottage offers a practical and comfortable space for guests to store belongings and prepare for outdoor activities. The property is situated in a peaceful natural setting that lends itself to a restful and immersive stay, with the surrounding landscape characteristic of the Finnish lakeland region.

Distances and Attractions

The cottage is located 63 kilometres south of Joensuu, a vibrant regional city that serves as the main urban hub of North Karelia and offers a wide range of services, shops, restaurants, and cultural attractions. Lake Orivesi itself, stretching across 536 square kilometres, is a destination of remarkable natural interest, ideal for boating, fishing, and swimming from its characteristically shallow and sandy shores. The Rääkkylä municipality is known for its unspoiled lakeland scenery and the slower pace of life that draws visitors seeking an escape into nature, with the surrounding area offering opportunities for hiking, birdwatching, and exploring the distinctive Finnish countryside throughout the seasons.
