Villas in Sysmä

Really beautiful authentic Finnish house with a nice garden and sauna

We had a truly wonderful stay at this cottage! From the beginning, the host was incredibly kind and responsive, making everything smooth and welcoming. The cottage itself is spotlessly clean, neat, and very well equipped—everything has been thoughtfully prepared with clear instructions for using all the facilities. The heat pump is a great touch—an energy-efficient solution that keeps the place cozy. The sauna was fantastic, fully equipped with everything one could need, and clearly goes beyond just the basics. The hot tub was an amazing experience, especially during the colder months—such a relaxing treat! Just a short 500-meter walk away, there’s a beautiful hut in the forest, which adds to the charm of the location. The outdoor area is very well planned: there are all the essentials for making a fire, boiling water, and barbecuing, and the barbecue area near the beach is perfect, with two long benches creating a cozy and scenic gathering spot. Inside, there’s plenty of entertainment—from group board games and books to an Xbox, making it great for both quiet evenings and fun family time. Overall, this place exceeded our expectations in every way. Highly recommended for anyone looking for a peaceful and well-equipped getaway in nature!

An unforgettable stay at superb place - pure tranquility and beauty all around. Host is kind and supportive.

We loved our stay! Garden and house are great. Our two-year old had a wonderful time. It was great that you provided children’s equipment (bed, high chair, potty). Thank you!

Everything was excellent! The house had everything you needed - a fully equipped kitchen, an excellent sauna (electric, in the cottage), very clean, quiet despite a shared wall with the neighbors. The owner of the place, Irina, was very supportive - gave a lot of helpful tips, about places worth visiting as well. Easy access to the lake (not more than 50m), and on hot days (24-26 degrees) the water is quite warm and very pleasant to swim. Access to the lake in order to swim is by ladder, like in a pool. There are canoes and rowboats, darts, Frisbee, a cute playground for small children and bicycles. All around an amazing forest, endless bushes of blueberries (we picked and ate lots) and I saw cranberries but they have not ripe in mid-July yet. There were no mushrooms yet. There are also 3 barbecue stations. You should take some spare towels if you don't want to use the shower towels after swimming in the lake.
