We offer eight high-quality lakeside cottages in Mikkeli's countryside.
Each of our cottages is unique, designed for different needs, and equipped with modern amenities. Enjoy lakeside views, a cozy fireplace, and your own private retreat in these charming cottages.
Options include the farm’s fully renovated main house and various lakeside cottages with stunning views, ideal for both families and couples.
At Koivuranta, we raise native Finnish cattle in Mikkeli’s countryside.
Finnish cattle are well-suited to the country’s challenging climate, enhancing the milk and meat's quality. Our cows live on traditional forest pastures by the lake, just as they did back in the 1930s.
Today, our cows live with their calves, which receive nourishment directly from their mothers. The cows have outdoor access year-round.
We combine milk from our native Finnish cows with berries from our own forests and nearby farms to create delicious ice cream and cheeses.
Koivuranta’s ice creams are made with respect for Finnish nature and flavors. We also produce soft and grill cheeses, all handmade. We also offer Finnish cattle beef products.
Breakfast baskets or dinner baskets with local delicacies can be delivered to the cottages.
Each cottage is unique and designed to meet different needs. Equipped with all modern comforts, each has a private beach and sauna. In these charming cottages, you can enjoy lakeside views, the cozy warmth of a fireplace, and a peaceful atmosphere. The surrounding area offers excellent spots for berry picking and mushroom foraging, and Lake Kyyvesi is rich in fish like perch, zander, and pike. Each cottage includes a private rowboat, making it easy to explore the lake. Forest paths, shaped by cows, offer scenic hiking trails through traditional landscapes.
All cottages have wireless internet. Additional amenities for rent include a hot tub, paddleboards, and a pizza oven. Guests can also order delicious breakfast or dinner baskets featuring local and farm products. Pet-friendly cottages are marked with a paw print icon.
Check available cottages from the available calendar. You can also check available calendars at the website of the every cottage. You can also make a reservation by email:info@koivuranta.net info@koivuranta.net
