Your own space – Cottages, log cabins and villas in Saimaa

If you’re coming to Saimaa to experience its pristine lakes and peaceful landscapes, you’ll find a wide range of countryside accommodation around Lake Saimaa.

Finland is known for its deep-rooted sauna culture and its close connection to nature. A stay in a traditional lakeside cottage offers a truly authentic way to experience it all, often with your own sauna, private shoreline and easy access to the surrounding forest. Whether it’s a simple summer “mökki” or a cosy log cabin, many accommodations offer space and privacy right by the water. Step from the heat of the sauna straight into a cool lake, fish from your own jetty, or simply enjoy the stillness of your private surroundings.

With over 43,000 holiday homes scattered across the region, each with their own charm, Saimaa offers endless possibilities for a stay that feels both personal and close to nature.
