Ritalahti

Welcome to Ritalahti, a modern and inviting vacation cottage nestled in the serene landscapes of Finland, just 54 kilometers northeast of Heinola. Built in 2014, this bright and contemporary log cabin spans an impressive 110 square meters, offering an ideal retreat for families or groups seeking comfort and tranquility throughout the year. 

Ritalahti is designed to accommodate up to eight guests, featuring two cozy bedrooms, each equipped with two beds, and an additional four beds located in a charming loft space. This thoughtful layout ensures ample room for everyone to relax after a day of adventure. The cottage includes a well-equipped kitchen and a spacious living room that seamlessly connects to a large terrace, perfect for soaking in the breathtaking views as you bask in the warmth of the evening sun. 

The peaceful surroundings enhance the cottage’s allure, with the nearest neighbor situated 600 meters away, allowing for a truly private experience. Just a short walk of 35 meters leads you to the pristine Juolasvesi lake, known for its beautiful 12-kilometer length and 1-kilometer width. This delightful destination features a small sandy area ideal for children, while the deeper waters at the end of the dock—reaching 2-3 meters—offer fantastic swimming opportunities. For those looking to explore the lake, Ritalahti provides its own rowboat and canoe, allowing you to fully immerse yourself in the natural beauty of the area.

Amenities within the cottage include two toilets, a shower, and a sauna with an electric heater, ensuring a comfortable stay. The convenience of air conditioning and Wi-Fi helps you stay cool and connected, while a dedicated grill hut with a traditional kotakeittiö invites you to enjoy outdoor cooking under the stars. 

Although the cottage focuses on providing a serene atmosphere, it’s important to note that bringing rental hot tubs to the premises is not permitted, in order to maintain the tranquility that Ritalahti embodies. Whether you’re seeking relaxation, adventure, or a little of both, Ritalahti is the perfect setting for creating unforgettable memories with loved ones.
