COTTAGE RENTALS IN SOUTHERN FINLAND
Life by the water – where the warmth of the sauna and fireplace makes all the rush disappear
Unwind in waterside cottages — Sauna warmth and cozy fireplaces
Renting a cottage in southern Finland is a simple, stress-free way to escape everyday life and relax surrounded by nature. Suomen Kotteria Oy offers charming, well-equipped rental cottages in Pyhtää and Kotka, located near Helsinki by the Kymi River and by the sea.
Our riverside options include Villa Kaunisvirta, Villa Struka, and the Kivikoski cottage, while on the coast you’ll find Villa Skitunäs and Rantakari — all in idyllic natural settings.
Each cottage is designed to give you an authentic Finnish riverside or seaside experience. We offer private saunas, grills, boats, and scenic landscapes — perfect for solo travelers, families, or groups alike.
Sauna, hot tubs & real cottage atmosphere
At Kotteria, comfort meets tradition. Many of our cottages feature spacious riverside saunas and hot tubs, where you can marvel at the sunset while letting your worries melt away.
Enjoy a real Finnish outdoor lifestyle: row the boat, light a fire, grill sausages, or relax by the fireplace. Every cottage is well-appointed, offering peace and closeness to nature without sacrificing convenience.
Why choose a cottage holiday in Southern Finland?
Southern Finland is ideal for a quick and relaxing break — no need for long drives. Our cottages are easily accessible from major cities: about 100 km from Helsinki and 70 km from Kouvola.
There’s also a practical public transport option: for some of our Pyhtää river cottages (excluding Skitunäs), you can take Onni-bus from Helsinki, then walk about 1 km from the bus stop.
Nature holiday in Pyhtää and Kotka, only about 1 hour drive from Helsinki
The Pyhtää–Kotka region offers a rich mix of river landscapes, coastline, and forest serenity.
Nearby attractions include:
- The Pyhtää archipelago and Valkmusa National Park, perfect for hiking and fishing.
- Sapokka Park and Katariina Seaside Park in Kotka — great for scenic walks.
- Langinkoski Imperial Fishing Lodge, an atmospheric historical site.
- Seasonal events: summer brings Kotka Maritime Days, winter offers snowy wilderness and quiet riversides.
This region is perfect for travellers who appreciate peaceful nature, proximity to water, and good transport links.
