Hotels near Koli Scenic Lift, Kolinkylä

I’ve never been to a hotel that had such an amazing view.

How clean it all was

Nice and clean cabins, great location, nice service.

Place was nice and the staff was really friendly.

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.
