Hand-carved from thick logs, the atmospheric and comfortably equipped Villa Wäinölä is located in its own peace on the shore of beautiful Lake Kermajärvi in Lake Saimaa.
The yard is well-kept and grassy, but an old spruce and pine forest hums around it. From above, there are beautiful views across the lake from the rocks. There is room on the porch for dining and admiring the scenery.
There is a separate lakeside sauna with a wood-burning stove, a pier and a boat on the shore.
The entire downstairs is one space, the sleeping areas are in the loft upstairs. The fireplace warms you up on cool days.
The canals, rapids and the monasteries of Valamo and Lintula in Heinävesi are worth seeing! Canal cruises on the M/S Sergey Tue-Sat twice a day between Valamo-Varistaipale-Valamo, duration 2.5 hours. Finland's only monastery-to-monastery hiking trail, 20 km/direction.
