Property Description
Property Summary
Nestled in the heart of Finland, this charming wooden cabin offers an authentic and tranquil holiday rental experience in the scenic lakeside surroundings of Savonranta. Originally built in 1985 and thoughtfully renovated in 1993, the property combines rustic character with practical comforts, making it an ideal retreat for those seeking a genuine Finnish countryside escape. The cabin features a well-equipped kitchen, a welcoming living room with a sofa bed for 2, a curtain-separated sleeping alcove within the living room accommodating 2 beds, and a dedicated bedroom of 12 m² with a double bed. An outbuilding, available for use in winter, provides additional sleeping arrangements with a bunk bed and a spreadable bed for 2. The washroom is fitted with a shower and WC. Guests benefit from the convenience of Wi-Fi connectivity throughout their stay, while the air source heat pump ensures a comfortable indoor climate throughout the seasons.
Outdoors
The outdoor setting of this property is defined by its immediate proximity to lake Matkonjärvi, situated just 20 m from the cabin. The lake stretches 2 km in length and 0.3 km in width, featuring a hard, gently deepening sandy bottom that makes it particularly inviting for swimming and wading. A private pier extends over the water, and a rowing boat is available for guests to explore the calm lake at their leisure. One of the most distinctive outdoor features is the traditional barrel sauna dating from 1970 and renovated in 2009, positioned directly by the lakeside. This sauna is heated by a wood stove, and water must be brought to it using a bucket, preserving the authentic Finnish sauna experience. The barrel sauna is also suitable for use during the winter months, allowing guests to enjoy the beloved Nordic tradition of alternating between the heat of the sauna and the crisp outdoor air regardless of the season.
Other Information
The electric sauna stove located within the main cabin sauna offers an alternative to the outdoor barrel sauna, providing added flexibility for guests. The air source heat pump ensures efficient and reliable heating throughout the property, making the cabin a comfortable base even during colder periods. The outbuilding, which provides supplementary sleeping accommodation, is accessible during winter, extending the usable living space of the property across all seasons.
