Family-friendly vacation rentals in Central Finland

The beach sauna was the best you can expect for a Finnish landscape. We spent Christmas at that villa and well had room for an 8-person group to work. In the summer, it would probably be even more amazing when outdoor spaces and a yard, for example, could be better used.

Perfect for a night out with friends. The kitchen was well-equipped and the cottage layout was functional. You could put the water down on your own, so it was nice to sit in the evening.

We had a great time staying at Nita place. The house is in a very nice place by the lake. Contact with the owner was great, I received a lot of information and recommendations. I recommend this beautiful place :)

Everything was just like the photos and the surroundings were perfect. I recommend to everyone.

Super cozy cottage. Everything was super explained, we had a great weekend with many walks. Highly recommend it:)

Great place in beautiful nature. All guests enjoyed their stay. Very helpful host, all was thoroughly explained. I highly recommend

A truly magical place, your own little universe. A quiet and peaceful place like this is not easy to come by these days, especially not with all the modern amenities that Pirjo's place offers. Private sauna, comfortable beds, a well-equipped kitchen, fast WiFi, near-total isolation with a town still in reach... I could go on. A true gem in the middle of the beautiful Finnish nature and without a doubt the best Airbnb I ever stayed at. Pirjo herself is an amazing host. Not only did she always reply quickly and very helpfully – she went out of her way multiple times to accommodate and go the extra mile for me, organizing helpful things for me that I didn't even ask her to. I am so grateful to Pirjo, whose hospitality has been the cherry on top of this amazing vacation-cake. Also the island's caretaker, Heikki, was super nice and helpful and I'm happy to have met him. Sadly I didn't meet Pirjo to thank her in person but I hope we will once I inevitably come back for another stay.

The steam of the old-fashioned “grandma” sauna was caring for motorists at the end of a long day of driving.

Esa was a magnificent host and is an absolute gentleman. This is our second to book this house and we would highly recommend it. The house was spotlessly clean and the location is amazing. We will definitely be back.

Very peaceful place to spend family time and relax. I recommend that it's a holiday destination. It was very good in winter so will be amazing in the summer with all what you need for a perfect holiday. 🥰

The place was a great getaway from everything. It wasn't squeaky clean, but it was as clean as I'd expect someone's summer cottage to be, and it was absolutely fine. The second floor has a low ceiling so moving around can be a bit awkward and the stairs are a little steep but manageable for able-bodied people. The place was always warm and cozy, even in -20°C temperatures outside! If you need groceries, the local K Market should have everything you need, but don't expect many amenities or things to do nearby, you might have to drive an hour or two for most points of interest. Overall, it was a great experience and for a great price, we'd come back again!

We spent 5 days with friends and it was a great experience for us. The location offers proximity to plenty of activities and the host is very welcoming, flexible and responsive. We recommend it.

However, a very peaceful and natural cottage with saunas close to services. Everything was really clean and functional. A cozy and spacious sauna came out of a juicy steam. We felt welcome here. Excellent guidance both in advance and on-site. Thank you!

very good cozy cottage, exceeded expectations!

The house very clean and tidy . Near to shop . Will come back again

Very cosy, clean and well equiped cottage within walking distance from Ähtäri zoo. We enjoyed surrounding nature trails and fire places by the lake.

Nice cottage with everything you need for a stay at Himos. Plenty of amenities and a few minutes drive to the ski slopes and 3 minute walk to the lake.

Everything went very comfortably and the cottage was comfortably spacious and well-equipped. We got an extra open to make an ice saw and a kaita, and we also got to use the lakeside sauna. Very good experience!

Beautiful cottage in a magnificent winter landscape and a friendly and uncomplicated host. Would recommend.

The apartment was charming and suitable for a longer stay. Beautiful leafy area close to the lakefront, coffee shop and lighthouse restaurant. Old-time vibe. Everything went smoothly. Susanna was very helpful and friendly.
