More than 2.4million Finns head to a holiday cottage every year.
Feel the memories
Throughout their lifetime, cottages change. First they are filled with the laughter of young children, then when the children grow up, they offer parents respite and relaxation. Until finally, the teenage children are ready to re-live the simplicity of their childhood holidays, and the family returns, to rediscover the memories they built there. Generation after generation the cycle continues, with years of joy and laughter becoming part of the very fabric of the cottage itself.
The freedom of renting
There are many advantages of renting rather than owning a cottage; the cost is, of course, significantly cheaper, you can choose a location fit to your needs, and you can still enjoy a traditional Finnish cottage whilst remaining carefree. There are plenty of rental cottages available in Kuopio and no matter your taste, everyone who dreams of cottage life is sure to find their holiday paradise here.
