Vacation rentals in Saimaa

We had a fantastic stay at this wonderful, open yet private place. It’s the perfect getaway if you’re looking for peace, nature, and a bit of luxury. The surroundings are incredibly calm and beautiful, a true escape from the noise of everyday life. One of the highlights was the little squirrel who visited us every day. We even gave him a name: Kaspery. The house itself is beautifully designed, with two saunas and direct access to the lake, ideal for a refreshing dip after a sauna session. There were plenty of towels provided. The bedrooms were lovely, with enough closet space and comfortable beds. The living area featured a nice fireplace, making the evenings extra cozy. The kitchen was well equipped, with everything you could need to cook, including sharp knives, a coffee maker, and all essential utensils.A special thanks to Markus, who was an outstanding host. He always responded quickly and friendly to any question. He even let us know when the polar lights were visible.

Amazing hosting experience. Jonathan's cottage is idyllic and the setting is wonderfully peaceful. The cottage is beautiful, very clean, and all the setting is in order. Communicating with Jonathan was seamless and proactive, and we got answers quickly to questions, thanks for that. We spent a wonderful three days here. A strong recommendation for this home and I'd come back anytime.

We really enjoyed staying at this beautiful house, regularly used the sauna and bathed in ice in the frozen lake. For us, the place was perfect.

Fantastic place, we were the whole family to enjoy the lake , the sauna and the barbecue , all in the peace of mind , sublime experience

This was my third time visiting Heikki’s place, and as always, everything was wonderful. The house was exceptionally clean and well equipped, making our stay very comfortable. We reserved the hot tub, and it was an incredible experience during the winter—truly a highlight of our visit. The grill room was also very convenient in the cold weather. Heikki was incredibly helpful and responsive, ensuring we felt truly welcomed. The only minor suggestion for improvement would be the mattresses and pillows, as they were not completely comfortable. Overall, it was another great stay, and I highly recommend Heikki’s place. Thank you again for your hospitality!

Thanks Hannu for being a good host. Clean and spacious, nice location next to lake also in winter, suitable for our 5 person family and wee dog!

We had a very enjoyable weekend at Villa Nyåsa, we were 7 persons and we fitted in very well. Villa Nyåsa was a very cosy, comfortable, well equipped, extremely clean, clutter free, tastefully furnished holiday home. Ulf and Karina were super hosts, warm and hospitable making us feel welcome in their lovely villa.

Exactly what we needed!

Our best Finnish holiday yet! A super comfortable apartment right in the town centre (we managed without a hire car), all the beds and kitchen items top quality and lovely views to enjoy. No sauna but there's a public one on the lake, a 3-min walk away. We paid €13, wore swimsuits and met the friendly locals who go there every week. Fresh lake fish available to buy at the market. Went skiing at Messilä one day, superb. And the ice skating is free of charge in Heinola! We will be back for sure. Kiitos!
