I didn't expect to get a whole appartment to myself so that was lovely. I expected more of a hotel vibe which there wasn't. The "Hotel" seems to be mainly a location for a children's summer camp - but as I was visiting out of season it might be different at other times.

A comfortable, well-equipped cottage, close to nature with a view of the lake. Access to a sauna and the opportunity to cool off in the lake. Helpful staff. Possibility to rent water sports equipment on-site, and pets are welcome. We really enjoyed our stay and will definitely come back one day.

I have been visiting Joensuu since 2012. In the winter season, the city looks very beautiful as it gets covered with a fantastic blanket of snow. The sight of the frozen river is just stunning! I love the city for its cozy and peaceful atmosphere and the kindness of the locals.

The resort is well signposted and easily accessible from the main road. The shop and restaurant were good. A buffet breakfast was tasty and plentiful. The dinner menu was also good value for money. Beautiful location and plenty of walks/cycling ways from the front door. In the Summer months, there is big play park for children, with water slides, climbing frames, etc., in the adjacent holiday resort. This is one of the most beautiful areas of Finland.

Nice little corner of the lakeland area. Great for nature walks and water activities. The whole area felt very peaceful and I hope we can come back another time. On the Saimaa geopark website you can find some nice walks and things to do in the area but if you like forests and lakes and quiet surroundings you’ll be good here no matter where you go.
