This log cottage sits on a rocky peninsula near Tahko, about 60 km north-east of Kuopio, with Lake Ylä-Hippajärvi just 30 metres away. The setting is calm and sheltered, with a shallow, hard-sanded shore that suits children well and an own boat for time on the water.
Inside, the cottage has a living room and kitchen, two bedrooms, and a sleeping loft with two mattresses under sloping ceilings. The layout also includes a washroom, hall, sauna, and open porch, and the cottage is fitted with mechanical ventilation and underfloor heating for comfortable stays in every season.
The wood-heated sauna adds a classic Finnish touch, and the fireplace gives the living area a warm centre. Outside, you can use the barbecue shelter, head out by rowing boat, or rent an outboard motor in summer for longer trips across the lake and along the water route.
The area offers good fishing and berry picking, with pike perch, perch, pike, and whitefish in the lake. The owner’s island is about 800 metres away by boat, and nearby Tahko brings golf, ski services, and nature trails within day-trip range. Please note that natural conditions such as water levels can affect the shoreline.
