Featuring free WiFi, Gasthaus Kantolankulma offers accommodation in Lappeenranta. Lappeenranta Fortress is 700 metres away. Free private parking is available on site.

The accommodation comes with a TV. There is also a kitchen, equipped with an oven and microwave. A toaster and fridge are also featured, as well as a coffee machine. Towels are provided. We used this accommodation as our home base for several day tours in the Finnish lake region, and we do not regret it for a small moment. A nice small guesthouse with a private sauna, just a short walk away from the harbour, offers anything you need as a tourist. Granted, the room may not have the most modern look, but we were happy nonetheless: the room was spotlessly clean, and the kitchen has many utensils. The biggest asset of this guesthouse? The host: a very kind and welcoming lady who helped us on our way multiple times. This hospitality was also reflected in all common areas, which were breathing a cozy 'welcome home'-atmosphere. I would most definitely book here again.

Providing lake views, Lomatila Ollila Farm Stay in Kerimäki provides accommodation, a private beach area, water sports facilities, free bikes, a garden and a terrace. This beachfront property offers access to darts, free private parking and free WiFi. The farm stay offers garden views, an outdoor fireplace and a 24-hour front desk. We had a really nice stay at the Ollila Farm. Rooms were comfortable and quiet, we slept well. Having a wood-heated sauna in the evening was a real treat. Breakfast was great. The old part of the house where breakfast is served is beautiful. I especially enjoyed listening to native birds living in the area, including Crex crex and Acrocephalus dumetorum.

Offering a barbecue and views of the lake, Niemilomat is set 13 km from central Varkaus in the Eastern Finland Region. The lakefront bed and breakfast has views of the garden, and guests can enjoy a drink at the bar. We really enjoyed our time here. The guesthouse is very clean and beautiful. Especially the sauna with direct access to the lake is amazing. The breakfast was great and hosts were very kind and helpful.

Situated next to Lake Pyhäselkä in North Karelia, Holiday Linnunlahti offer self-catering apartments with a private terrace, sauna and loft. Joensuu city centre is 1 km away. Hiking trails and cross-country skiing tracks are found right outside the door. Excellent location close to nature with the gorgeous Linnunlahti beach very close, but at the same time the city center is just a short bike ride away. Very good facilities (including a private sauna!) and friendly service. They rent out bicycles which is really nice for those without a car. It was a really good place to stay with kids.

This property is on a family farm, 12 km outside Savonlinna and 10 minutes’ walk from Lake Pellosjärvi. It offers a private beach, a lakeside sauna and a summer restaurant.

Lomamokkila’s accommodation options have wooden floors and private or shared bathroom and kitchen facilities. Some include flat-screen TVs, while free WiFi is available throughout the property. The B&B is located in a beautiful farm, a neat and very well kept complex of many buildings, gardens, farm facilities, etc., all set in a peaceful lakeside environment. The main building is elegant, welcoming, and so are the owners. The room was a bit small for 3 people, but OK for a short stay. Breakfast was great! It seems in the middle of nowhere, but it takes just 15 drive to downtown. Price is fair. I would stay there again, 100%!!!
