Villa Pihlajanmarja – Stunning Log Villa on a Waterfront Estate

Our stay at Villa Pihlajanmarja was truly special. Surrounded by peaceful forests and beautiful nature, we enjoyed every moment — especially spotting deer, rabbits, and birds around the estate. The traditional wood-heated sauna was a highlight, offering a relaxing and authentic experience. The host was exceptionally kind and thoughtful, even anticipating some of the small cultural things that made us feel at home far from home. This was much more than just a cottage — it was a serene retreat and a perfect way to experience Finland.

Very nice place to enjoy a vacation — peaceful, spacious, and surrounded by nature. The wood-heated sauna was excellent, offering a truly authentic Finnish experience, and the beach area was clean and private, perfect for swimming and relaxing by the water. We also loved having the possibility to play tennis on the private court, a rare treat during a cottage holiday. The villa itself is beautifully built with high-quality log construction, very well maintained, and fully equipped with everything we needed. The large terrace with the outdoor jacuzzi was a highlight — relaxing there in the evening while listening to the sounds of nature was unforgettable. All in all, Villa Pihlajanmarja is a great place for both peaceful rest and outdoor activities. Highly recommended for anyone looking to enjoy Finnish nature in comfort and privacy.

We had such a lovely summer break at Villa Pihlajanmarja in beautiful Långstrand. The surrounding nature was stunning—peaceful, quiet, and full of birdsong. The cottage itself was cozy, spotless, and very well equipped with everything we needed for a relaxing stay. One of the absolute highlights was the traditional wood-heated sauna—such a unique and authentic Finnish experience, especially when combined with the outdoor jacuzzi. We felt truly welcome and at home. This place is a hidden gem for anyone looking to unwind in nature with a touch of luxury. Highly recommended!
