Alapihan Arboretum guest house with sauna

Cozy guest house and sauna in a wild tree species park. There are about 250 different species of woody trees and shrubs in the two-hectare area. The trees were planted in 1970 and form their own microclimate, where the air is clean and good to breathe. The area is still partly in its natural state and renovation is being done in the area. For those interested, we will be happy to introduce the arboretums during the visit. The household includes two Lapphunds, a cat, a rooster and 6 hens. Breakfast available

Between fishes – our house on the lake in Finland

Our piece of land is located on Kaita Järvi– an about 8 km long and a few hundred meter wide lake – it is a small peninsula that looks to the south. That means: sun from morning to evening (if it shines). There right on the shore you find our log cabin, with sauna, bathroom, living room with open kitchen and two small bedrooms. A few meters next to it is a studio like guesthouse, the "Aita". It is also very cosy and comfortable, but provides no own bathroom. Village Savonranta is 5 km away.

Kolilainen Tiny House

Hulppean näyttävä hirsihuvila lomailuun, kokouksiin ja etätöihin luonnosta, hiljaisuudesta ja mäkkitunnelmasta rakastaville vierailijoille. Monitasoratkaisutalo soveltuu loistavasti perhejuhliin, mutta ei bilekäyttöön turvallisuussyistä. Pielisen ranta, pyöräily- ja kävelyreitit ja hiihtoladut ovat lähellä, vartin ajomatkan päässä kaupasta, maisemapaikoista, vaellusmestoista, satamasta ja muista käyntikohteista. Kolilainen on itse koettava kokonaisuus (ja eläimetön allergiatalo)!

Villa LHJ Heinämäki

Villa was build 1999-2000 as a second home from the family with basic facilities criteria for everyday living. Basic principle was to have a place to calm down but also a house for remote work in home village. Place is pretty nice on top of the hill, scenery is wide almost all over ... tens of kilometers. Style is rustic with a light twist of retro functionalism. Now we have moved 200m, on the opposite side of the road, and we offer Villa for our quest. Your sincerely Leena & Juha
