This cottage in Messilä sits right by lake Vesijärvi, about 120 km north of Helsinki, and is set up for a peaceful family break. The house has a separate entrance on the other side, while the owner lives in the smaller part of the building.
Inside, the cottage offers a living room, kitchen and dining area, plus two bedrooms and a shower room with WC. The sleeping layout works well for families, with space for 5–7 guests and a relaxed, practical feel throughout.
Outside, the lake is the main attraction. The beach is shared with the owner, but it has a shallow sandy bottom, a pier and plenty of room for children to play. A pavilion on the shore, a cooking hut with barbecue facilities and a wood-heated sauna make it easy to spend the whole day by the water. There is also a wood-heated hot tub on the beach, available at an extra cost and booked in advance.
The plot is flat and grassy, so it suits outdoor games well. This cottage is rented only to families and other guests looking for a quiet stay, and parties are not allowed. Check-out is at 11:00, including weekend bookings.
