Property Description

Property Summary

Nestled on the shores of the legendary Lake Päijänne in Asikkala, Finland, this charming wooden cabin offers an intimate and restorative holiday rental experience for couples or small families seeking the tranquility of nature. Originally constructed in 1970 and thoughtfully expanded during the 1990s, the cabin combines rustic character with practical comforts in a setting of exceptional natural beauty. Positioned just 10 meters from the lakeshore, the property benefits from direct water access via a private pier, with a firm and gently sloping sandy and gravel lake bottom that makes the waterfront both safe and inviting. The cabin accommodates guests across 2 sleeping areas: a kitchen and living room combined with a bedroom featuring 2 beds inside the main cabin, and a separate outbuilding in the yard equipped with an additional 2 beds, electricity, and radiator heating. The interior is well appointed with a dishwasher, microwave, refrigerator, and freezer, ensuring a comfortable and effortless stay. A dedicated sauna area with a wood-heated stove and shower provides an authentically Finnish way to unwind after a day spent exploring the surrounding landscape. The peaceful atmosphere of Päijät-Häme, combined with the cabin's thoughtful amenities, makes this property a truly memorable retreat.

Outdoors

The outdoor spaces of this lakeside cabin are designed to make the most of the stunning natural surroundings.

The covered porch serves as a versatile outdoor living area where a gas grill is available for convenient al fresco cooking and dining. For those who prefer a more traditional approach, a fixed wood-burning grill is also located in the yard, ideal for leisurely outdoor meals in a natural setting. The yard itself provides ample open space to enjoy the fresh lakeside air, and the separate guest outbuilding with 2 beds is also situated within this outdoor area, maintaining a sense of privacy and independence for all guests.
