Cottages

What could be better than the lake or the stunning forest vista that opens from the outdoor terrace of the cottage? Cooling down on the terrace after the sauna, ice fishing at the cottage lake or picking berries from the nature, directly to eat, is Finnish well-being and one of many moments of happiness you can experience through the cottage, mökki, life. The Jyväskylä Region is one of the most popular cottage areas in Finland and there are plenty of cottages, for many different needs. Choose a cottage by the shore, a wilderness cottage, a cottage in an arid area, a hut in the national park, a holiday villa or come and stay the night in a cottage village!
