Unique accommodation options in the Jyväskylä Region
Would you like to spend a night in a glass igloo admiring the starry sky above? What about the unique atmosphere of a country manor, or camping in a luxury setting? In the Jyväskylä Region, you can find a wide array of unique accommodation options for an unforgettable experience.
Under the starry sky
In the glass igloo of Revontuli Resort, you will lodge in a lakeside landscape, marvelling at the midnight sun or the starry winter sky. If you are lucky, you may also witness the Northern lights that dance in the sky. Also try out our teepee-shaped igloos, Tigloos, that have two levels.
At Karkausmäki Guesthouse in northern Jyväskylä region, you can enjoy the closeness to nature in a bed prepared in the shelter of a lean-to. Enjoy the starry sky by the campfire while savoring a delicious evening snack.
In the middle of the forest
For those looking for something out of the ordinary, the treehouse in the Tampinmylly camping ground is an experience not to be missed. If you opt for this special accommodation in Joutsa, you can marvel at sunset over Lake Iso-Säynätjärvi from a terrace with high glass walls. In Hankasalmi, you have the opportunity to stay in the LuontoVire Lumous- forest accommodation. While staying in this wooden hut, you can enjoy the forest view straight through the large windows.
Hikers and walkers should head for Hankasalmi, the Häähninmäki outdoor recreation area. There is an extensive network of trails as well as an observation tower, completed in 2020, where you can also stay overnight. Hikers are however not left at the mercy of nature, for there is a heated cottage on top of the observation tower of Häähninmäki (no bookings for overnight stays in the summer).
Following the traces of Architecture
Lovers of architecture and design will head to Säynätsalo, Jyväskylä. One of the most outstanding works of the world-renowned Finnish architect Alvar Aalto is the Säynätsalo Municipal Hall. This castle-like red-brick building was erected in 1949 following an invitational competition, and it is considered to be one of Aalto’s main works.
It houses guest rooms and apartments for tourists, where even Alvar Aalto and his wife Elissa stayed overnight in their time. Two of the original guest rooms actually carry their names.
Above the ground
Would you like to enjoy a unique experience by staying in a tent? You can sleep in a Tentsile Stingray stretched between trees in the midst of nature for example at Kinkamon Pirtti.
You can also try out a Tentsile following a great day out in Veijari activity park. Tentsiles are also available in Suopirtti farm after a bath at a barrel sauna, or at Kievari Rantapirtti.
In the Hall of a Million Stars at Nukula, tourists can experience the magic of untouched nature as they stay overnight in the middle of a forest in a traditional hammock. Our guests may choose where they wish to set up their own ‘halls’.
Luxury camping
If you look for a camping experience but don’t wish to give up on your comfort, glamping might be the perfect choice for you. Luxury tent accommodation is provided by Hideaway Glamping by the clear blue waters of Lake Päijänne, by Hidden House Pirttijärvi, located in the sheltered terrains of Jämsä, and in the lodgings in the yard of Karkausmäki Guesthouse.
A Touch of History
You have the chance to immerse yourself in old-world charm by staying in the cozy rooms of Taulu Estate (“Taulun Kartano”), or in the rural scenery of Marjoniemi farm in Uurainen.
In Saarijärvi, you can sleep amidst the rustic romance of the over 100-year-old vicarage at Ruustinna. A delicious breakfast is always included in the accommodation price. In the summer, you can stay in Ruustinna’s glamping tent or tentsile accommodation.
Special attractions
Finland’s first aircraft hotel invites you to stay in the beautiful countryside of Uurainen. Located on top of a hill, Ilmatar Airplane Lodge is a unique accommodation complex where guests can enjoy a one-of-a-kind airplane stay, the comforts of a holiday cottage, and the luxurious relaxation of an airplane sauna.
Would you like to stay on a sauna boat, basking in the sun, swimming, and enjoying a sauna? The sauna boat Eden is a small oasis in the heart of the city, offering peaceful sleeps amidst the lapping of lake waves.
