From the owner

Mairela Retreat Cottage offers cosy lakeside accommodation in the midst of the Finnish forest, set in stunningly beautiful surroundings, the cottage offers comfortable accommodation for up to 4 persons.

There is a lakeside woodburning sauna, a fresh water well providing the water and an outside bio-toilet. There is a rowing boat for use on the lake and many forest tracks for walking.

The cottage is especially suitable for back to nature holidays, quiet relaxation, as well as being a wonderful place for enhancing creativity and inspiration.

Walking, writing, painting, meditation and deep relaxation are very well supported by the Mairela retreat atmosphere.

Holistic healing holidays and ad hoc treatments of Reiki are also available at the cottage.

The cottage is equipped for a self catering holiday and half board accommodation is also available.

There is electric heating in the cottage as well as a beautiful soapstone fire for those who prefer a real fire. The soapstone fire is an ecologically efficient heat source, part of the sustainable ethos of Mairela Retreat.

The gardens are mainly raised organic beds growing organic herbs and vegetables both for food and herbal preparations. The surrounding forests are also rich in medicinal plants and organic mushrooms and berries.
