About Karelia Cottages

How would you like a holiday on an amazingly beautiful island in northern Saimaa lake district, staying in a newly built, Karelian-style cottage in the midst of old trees that gives you space for thoughts, relaxation and reinvigoration? Enjoying peace and quiet, far off from neighbours, in "your own national park" of seven hectares on Suursaari island. Excellent beach, fishing in well-stocked waters. Villa Raita: a newly built cottage sleeping six, ideal for families or fishing parties, on a private island in Finnish lakeland; parking directly at the house, barrier-free access.

Experience a grocery store bus, lake ferry, dance outdoors. Visit the Kihaus folk music festival and get to know the Finnish national instrument kantele. Catering service, country gourmet menu available. Nature trail with picnic place in a private nature reserve, routes for paddling and rowing with a guide or on your own (maps and safety instructions provided).
