This charming lakeside home has been lovingly renovated while preserving its original character and soul. Instead of creating a modern, impersonal space, we chose to keep the warmth, history, and atmosphere that make this house truly special. Many of the furniture pieces and decorative details have been carefully collected over the years from different countries and eras. Together they create a unique interior that feels authentic, welcoming, and full of character. Natural wood, soft colours, and thoughtfully chosen textiles create a cozy atmosphere that invites you to slow down and feel at home. Every room has been designed to be comfortable, practical, and relaxing. Large windows bring in plenty of natural light and offer beautiful views of the surrounding nature. The lake, forest, and peaceful Finnish landscape are always close, creating a sense of calm in every season. Whether you spend your day swimming, enjoying the sauna, exploring the nearby nature trails, or simply sitting with a cup of coffee on the terrace, this is a place where life moves at a gentler pace. This is not a hotel and not a standard rental property. It is a real home, created with care and attention, where guests can experience the quiet beauty of Finnish lake life and enjoy a peaceful stay by Lake Saimaa.

Hello, I’m Anzhelika. Many years ago, I fell in love with Finland — its forests, lakes, silence, and the feeling that life can move at a calmer, more natural pace. This house is much more than a rental property for me. It has been a personal project created with care, patience, and love. During the renovation, I tried to preserve its character while making it comfortable, beautiful, and welcoming for modern guests. As a home stager, I believe that spaces affect how we feel. A well-designed home can help us relax, reconnect with ourselves, and enjoy the present moment. That is why every detail here — from the furniture and textiles to the atmosphere of the rooms — has been chosen thoughtfully. What I love most about this place is its connection with nature. Lake Saimaa, pine forests, quiet roads, small islands, birdsong, white summer nights, colourful autumns, and snowy winter mornings create a unique sense of peace that is becoming increasingly rare. I enjoy sharing local knowledge with guests and will be happy to recommend beautiful walking routes, places to swim, seasonal berry and mushroom spots, local cafés, or where to buy fresh fish from local fishermen. My wish is simple: that you arrive as a guest and leave feeling rested, inspired, and a little more connected to nature than when you arrived. I look forward to welcoming you to this special corner of Lake Saimaa.

.The house is located in the beautiful municipality of Taipalsaari, on the shores of Lake Saimaa, just a 15-minute drive from the centre of Lappeenranta. The area is known for its unique lake landscape, where roads wind between islands, forests, and scenic bridges. Everywhere you go, water is never far away. This part of Lake Saimaa is famous for its exceptionally clean and clear water, offering excellent opportunities for swimming, boating, fishing, and simply enjoying the peaceful lakeside atmosphere. The surrounding pine forests invite you to explore nature throughout the year. In summer, you can pick wild blueberries and lingonberries, while autumn brings an abundance of mushrooms and beautiful colours. Despite the peaceful setting, all essential services, supermarkets, restaurants, cafés, and attractions of Lappeenranta are within easy reach. Whether you are looking for outdoor activities or simply a quiet place to relax and enjoy nature, Taipalsaari offers an authentic experience of Finnish lake life at its best.
