Kanerva

Nestled along the serene shores of Enonvesi in Mäntyharju, the Kanerva cottage, a gem of Lahtelan Lomamökit, has been enchanting guests since 2006. Built from laminated timber, this beautiful retreat welcomes you to a peaceful escape, embraced by a lush pine forest that promises tranquility and natural beauty with every visit. The cottage’s cozy open-plan kitchen and living area is perfect for gathering with friends and family, providing a warm ambiance enhanced by a traditional soapstone fireplace that invites you to unwind after a day of adventure.

With two inviting bedrooms, Kanerva sleeps up to four guests comfortably, offering a welcome respite for those seeking restful sleep between explorations. Wake up to the gentle sounds of nature, with views of the shimmering lake right from your windows.

As the day unfolds, this space transforms into an idyllic setting for al fresco dining, surrounded by the sounds and sights of nature.

A highlight of your stay will undoubtedly be the wood-heated sauna, ideal for immersing yourself in relaxation before taking a refreshing dip in the crystal-clear waters of the lake. Just a few steps from the shore, the well-maintained dock invites you for a swim or a leisurely afternoon on the water, whether you prefer fishing or exploring the scenic Hämeensaari Islands in the provided rowboat.

For avid cooks, the outdoor area is equipped with both a gas grill for easy summer meals and a dedicated wood-fired grill—perfect for grilling sausages, pancakes, or even the fresh catch of the day. Guests here will also enjoy various outdoor games, ensuring fun-filled competition among family and friends, from frisbee to mölkky. The surrounding landscape is a treasure trove of well-kept forest trails and abundant berry-picking opportunities, allowing you to reconnect with nature at every turn.
