Property Description

Property Summary

Nestled in the heart of Finland, this charming log cottage in Savilahti offers an authentic and immersive lakeside holiday rental experience for those seeking tranquillity and natural beauty in equal measure. Built in 2002, the property is set directly on the shores of Lake Pielinen, one of Finland's most expansive lakes covering an impressive 871.2 km², and sits just 30 metres from the water's edge. The cottage is thoughtfully arranged to accommodate guests across several sleeping areas: a bedroom with a double bed, a bedroom with 2 beds, a sleeping gallery featuring 2 beds and a convertible bed, and a further bedroom with 2 beds and mattresses, ensuring ample space for families or groups. The interior layout includes a welcoming kitchen-living room that serves as the social heart of the home, a dressing room, and a well-appointed washing room. A wood-heated sauna is integrated within the main cottage, adding a quintessentially Finnish touch to your stay. The property also benefits from its own private shoreline, characterised by a shallow sand bottom that makes it ideal for safe and leisurely access to the lake, as well as a private boat for guests to explore the surrounding waters at their leisure.

Outdoors

The outdoor spaces of this lakeside cottage are defined by their direct and privileged relationship with Lake Pielinen, offering a rare sense of seclusion and immersion in the Finnish natural landscape. The property's own private shoreline with its gentle, shallow sandy bottom invites guests to enjoy the lake at a relaxed pace, whether wading into the calm waters or simply taking in the expansive views that stretch across one of the country's largest lakes. A private boat is available for guests, opening up the possibility of leisurely excursions, fishing trips, or quiet moments drifting across the lake's serene surface. A terrace extends from the main cottage, providing an ideal setting for outdoor dining, morning coffee, or evening relaxation surrounded by the peaceful sounds of nature. Separate from the main building, a dedicated lakeside sauna with a wood-heated stove, its own dressing room, and electricity stands at the water's edge, offering an exceptional and deeply traditional Finnish sauna experience with direct access to the lake for cooling off between sessions.

Other Information

The separate lakeside sauna is equipped with a wood-heated stove and includes both a dressing room and electricity, functioning as a fully independent facility from the main cottage. The main cottage itself also features an internal wood-heated sauna, providing guests with two distinct sauna options during their stay. Heating throughout the property is provided in keeping with traditional Finnish methods, centred on the wood-heated stoves within the sauna facilities. Guests are encouraged to familiarise themselves with the proper use of the wood-heated stoves to ensure a safe and enjoyable experience. The property is located 68 km north of Joensuu, placing it in a rural and natural setting that calls for appropriate preparation for a self-sufficient stay in the Finnish countryside.
