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. Rosie, the ferocious guard dog (I'm joking 😁) was the highlight of a perfect stay. The owners are kind and helpful, the farm is located on the lake and you can have a swim or also a sauna. The bedroom with bathroom was really nice and with view of the lake. Also the breakfast was really good, and you have free parking on the property.

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. This was our second time in Linnunlahti and definitely not the last. Very well decorated cottages, squeaky clean with everything one could wish for (even a MokkaMaker coffee machine 😀). Right next to the skiing tracks and a lake with a lovely beach. Thanks for everything!

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. Great stay - location was close enough to Savonlinna but not in the town, close to national parks. There's a tennis court and sauna and row boats. Honestly we easily could have stayed for much longer both at and around the property. Also the owner was super helpful and had good recommendations all around the area
