I’ve never been to a hotel that had such an amazing view.
This quiet countryside hotel is located on the shore of Lake Pielinen. It offers sauna facilities and a large indoor pool, plus free Wi-Fi and parking.

The location of this place is stunning. It's among a handful of holiday cottages looking out over a beautiful lake which, when we were there, was just thawing. Because we were there in May we also had the place to ourselves but there's a reasonable distance between each place so I imagine it's not particularly noisy at any point. You can sit on the porch at the back in the morning and gaze out over the lake while songbirds flit round the birch trees nearby. Over the road from the house there is a forest where we heard woodpeckers and cuckoos on many occasions.
There's a big living/dining room with a wood stove (which we didn't use as the weather was hot), a reasonable kitchen. the main bedroom at the back - ie looking over the lake, then another room with bunk beds in and a third with two single beds at the front of the house. The shower's in the sauna area and the loo is separate at the opposite end of the house near the hallway. Probably a handy arrangement if it's a full house.
It's well set up for self catering and for groups who want to do outdoor activities - with a washing machine and drying cabinet etc. There was a file with instructions in several different languages. You need to set aside an hour before you leave to properly clean the place as that's in the Ts and Cs. This was the only cottage we stayed in during our time in Finland (we were there for four nights) and I would guess that this is probably the norm.
Worth knowing that the last few kilometres before the cottage are on gravel track. It's a pretty good one and we didn't have any issues
As well as the fantastic view, this is well placed for visiting the nearby Koli National Park, which we did on several occasions.
Would recommend.

We realy enjoy the tranquility of the forest, lake, nature.
This hotel was our must visit place since trip to Finland in June 2022, so we booked it very much in advance. The location is just amazing and I suppose it is difficult to find another hotel with such picturesque location and access to Koli hiking tracks. In May 2023 there was extreme weather with heavy snow and we managed to enjoy the view. The rooms have potable water stations and the bottle to use for enjoying the tasty sparkling water every day. We really enjoyed the stay and the unique beauty of Koli National Park.
My stay at Paimentupa exceeded my expectations. The room at the granary was surprisingly spacious, and it was dark enough to have a good night's sleep during Finland's white nights.
My hosts were very friendly and helpful. The home-baked Karelian pasties were the highlight of a rich and tasty breakfast.
Paimentupa is located in the midst of idyllic countryside, just a stone's throw away from the cliffs of Koli National Park. The perfect place to stay if you want to visit Finland's most famous National landscape.
Wonderful cabin in the middle of the beautiful finnish nature, excellent view to the lake. Very quiet, almost no disturbance from vehicles. A 12 km drive from the Koli National Park, and on this drive we saw cranes, black grouses and a moose. The cabin is spacious, clean and it contains all you need.
We had an amazing stay at the cottage, which was very clean, located next to the lake with a private excess and close (5 minutes by car) to the Koli National Park. I can highly recommend it!
