If you’re looking for a wholesome escape, this is it. A lakeside cabin, so immersed in nature, you’ll return home with a renewed spring in your step. While away the days on the terrace loungers with your loved ones. Grill a fish on the barbecue, freshly caught that day in the lake that sparkles in front of you. Perhaps throw in some mushrooms that you foraged nearby that morning. This stuff is great for the soul. Indoors, expect ‘woodland cabin’ vibes with added polish. Beneath the high, wood panelled ceilings, a modern kitchen is stocked with everything you need. Throw some wood into the log burner and sink your toes into a fluffy rug after a day of exploring. Or head out to the sauna before cooling off in the lake for an evening swim. During the day, when not making use of the complimentary rowing boat or exploring the area, head to nearby Heinola for its shops and cafes. Or don’t. It’s very easy to stay put here and be at one with nature.
