Finland is not just about snow, the odd reindeer and Father Christmas. Trust us, if you're looking to get away from the hustle and bustle of everyday life, a trip here during the summer is the perfect escape. The stunning Finnish Lake District is one of the best kept secrets in Europe. Get there now before the word spreads.
Arrive at Kuopio airport and be transported approximately one hour to Lake Salahminjärvi, in the heart of the region. Settle in to your very own wooden lakeside lodge with stunning views across the water from your private balcony. It is situated in the midst of beautiful remote countryside; infinite forests, and rolling hills. This is the ultimate location for unadulterated peace and quiet. Unforgettable and completely relaxing; you'll find it impossible not to unwind.
The lodge is spacious enough to sleep up to 12 people comfortably and is ideal for self catering with an outdoor barbecue area that looks out over the lake. As a treat we highly recommend sampling the great local cuisine, which can be cooked on request and delivered to your door. In our view, one of the best take-aways you'll ever order. The wonderful wood-burning sauna, just metres from the lake gives you the perfect chance to experience life like a local. Turn up the heat before making a quick dash to the crystal clear waters to cool off. If energetic decompressing is more your style, there's plenty to do: try motorboat hire, fishing, trekking and mountain biking in surrounding forests where brown bears and lynxes can be spotted.
What we love is that whilst this region's remote, it's not inaccessible. We'll include car hire and access to basic amenities is all within a short driving distance. Convenient solitude: what more could you ask for?
