Self Catering Accommodation in Petäjävesi

Friendly hosts, facility matched description on Booking.com

This was such a wonderful spot, absolutely loved it. The hosts were lovely and live just up the hill, and give you contact no if there's any issues (we didn't have any issues). We stayed in Villa Akuliina which is the one with a lakeside sauna, large lawned garden, and a very private location, no immediate neighbours. This felt to me like a proper Finnish house, not a villa, maybe because it has two floors with 3 very decent twin bedrooms and large shower room upstairs, whereas many villas have an open sleeping loft. There is another bedroom downstairs off the open plan kitchen / lounge. This definitely offers more privacy. The villa is very well equipped and the kitchen had everything we needed for cooking etc. The lines, towels etc were quality Finnish brands, and the wifi was very good. The balcony upstairs was lovely, and a veranda which runs the width of the house - loved how the design enables enjoying that view! There lakeside sauna building was great: there's another shower and toilet, it is heated with wood (perfect! see pic) and it heats up quickly :D There's also a lovely view from the sauna itself (pic through the window), nice dressing room as you step in with fridge and a fireplace, plus L shaped veranda outside (pic) with sun lounger chairs (not in the pics). Amazing!! Would definately come back sometime when visiting this area. I would recommend this villa for a relaxing breaks with family or friends, or a lakeside break, for anyone who wants a good sauna & swimming experience, or even WRC rally accommodation. Keuruu has some lakeside trails for walking, start e.g. below the old church. There is some interesting history e.g. Ampiala monument to Herpman Guerilla Bro is near the villa https://www.keuruunmuseo.fi/index.php/naeyttelyt/verkkonaeyttelyt/153-herpmanin-pojat-isoviha-keuruulla, and there are two old, historic wooden churches in Keuruu and Petajavesi (Unesco World Heritage site).

Best vacation ever!!!! Quiet, peaceful, best sauna, wonderful lake, comfortable and clean house!!! We already want back:) Kiitos, kiitos, kiitos....🫶

Great location and excellent views.

Near the lake and a quite area.

Beautiful property, surrounded by nature, very private, peaceful and quiet, and the location was great, just a few minutes from the center. The house was decorated very nicely and well-equipped. Easy to communicate with the host. The rooms were clean and the beds were comfortable enough. There is a sauna inside the house, though we did not use that one. But the outside sauna is located at the riverside, I can only say amazing. In the morning we went to the lake (5 minutes drive), we used the host's boat for boating, so it was a plus. Our holiday was just great.

Great stay, lovely rural location. Very clean and modern, had everything we needed, couldn't ask for more. Short drive to local supermarkets for self catering needs. Good value for the price we paid. Would definitely stay again.

Helpful host, friendly neighbours and spacious apartment. Everything was clean. Comfortable sofa, modern TV with all services and beautiful and quiet surroundings.
