Family-friendly vacation rentals in South Savo

Harri's chalet is very well-equipped. We didn't miss a thing. As stated in the listing, towels, kitchen towels and sheets are not provided. So we planned this in our suitcases. The environment is very pleasant and quiet. Perfect views of the lake! We even had the chance to see a moose, a magical moment! A car is essential to access the stores. For example, Savonlinna is about 50 km away. The only negative point was the cleanliness on arrival, requiring cleaning before we settled in. Harri was very understanding on this subject. We still recommend it because we had a lovely stay.

Beautiful cottage with a great view of the lake. Tommi was very helpful and responsive to any queries. We hope to be back soon!

Terrific cottage with all the possible amenities, including two saunas. One of them has windows looking over the lake. Spacious, excellent construction and quality wood furnishings, and your own dock with boat and rentable gear. The lake is the perfect size - not too large, not too small. The owner is highly responsive and provided a full list of potential activities and potential restaurants.

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 enjoyed the privacy and the beautiful snowy scenery to Lake Simpelejarvi. The host had made us a hole into the lake from the jetty, which we enjoyed dipping into the icy water “avanto” was a great experience :)

It is beautiful and restful place near lake. The house had everything you need for relaxing by the lake (boat, sauna, grill), it is well-equipped house. I totally recommend it.

Very pleasant stay, with everything you need to relaxe. Can warmly recommend this place.

We had a great stay

Very peaceful cabin in a beautiful surrounding. The lakeside sauna and the shallow lake made it ideal for swimming and relaxing. The amenities at on the site are very useful and a nice addition, from the bbq area to the rowing boats available. The area itself is lovely and there is a great 8km jogging/walking route around the lake, through the surrounding forests and fields. Overall a really nice stay!

very cozy with a great lake view

Stopped here for a night on a motorbike trip. The cabin was cozy and clean. I would come again to spend time in nature and do fishing.

Treasure in the lap of Lake Saimaa - atmospheric, beautifully decorated log buildings and good amenities. The gentle steam of the sauna, swimming with the cleanest feet, and the perfect hangouts and dining spaces crowned the experience. And Marja-Tertu's heartfelt welcome with clear instructions made me feel welcome in a summer paradise. We enjoyed it and recommend!

A cozy house with everything you need in a quiet, picturesque location near a lake. We stayed with our 7-month-old baby and our dog. Even though the nights were unusually cool for summer, it was very warm inside the house. Communication with the host was smooth - he responded quickly to all our questions. We highly recommend this place.

The perfect Finnish cottage experience.

Awesome place. Very comfortable, clean, everything works, had zero issues. Well stocked kitchen. Will definitely stay again if in the same area.

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

Place was excatly as listed, clear instructions, middle of nowhere, peace, nature, good for large groups.

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!!

Hi Aki, Thank you very much for the wonderful stay. We were able to enjoy my mother's 60th my mother's 60th birthday with the family. Your tip for the boat trip in Savonlinna and the restaurant recommendation were both top class. Kind regards
