The riverside location is excellent: 13 kilometers to the Petkeljärvi National Park, 6 kilometers to the historical Öykkösevaara battlegrounds and short walking distance (less than a kilometer) to the Möhkö Ironworks Museum and the Arboretum Möhkö. There is a good swimming pier along the river which is also a good fishing area. You can buy special fishing permits from the hotel and it is free to use a rowing boat. You get one free sauna bathing (1½ hours) in the wood-heated riverside sauna if you book at least three nights in the hotel. Our apartment (a small apartment named Sikki for 4 persons) was actually large and our kitchen was well equipped (a fridge, a microwave oven, a water kettle, a steamer and an electric wok). We also got a portable induction cooker (we had asked it in advance). Every apartment has an own entrance and the area is noiseless. It is also interesting that this is the easternmost hotel of the continental European Union.

I arrrived at the hotel at 20.15 and, although the kitchen closes at 20.00, dinner was prepared for me with a big smile. Breakfast was great the next day, the owner and staff were very friendly to me. You feel at home when staying there.

    Superb - What previous guests thought, 1,285 reviews
    Great location at the shore of Pielinen. Place is pet friendly (extra fee) with peace and quiet around even though cottages are close to each other and semi-detached.  Short distance to the Koli hiking trails and Koli village for grocery shopping. Should you need cash though, the nearest ATM/cash machine is at the next village (Juuka), so stack up with cash for example for the pet fee in advance. Cottages are relatively new and tidy. They are equipped with a Sauna, washing machine and dryer, which is simply brilliant. Kitchen is well equipped along with a dishwasher. In the living room there is a fireplace and plenty of firewood available. Nice TV-set should you need one... I recommend this accommodation for families, singles, couples and pets.

    It was such a lovely surprise. I just needed some place to stay, and this place had everything I needed and that extra something 💕✨️. I was the only one for breakfast, but it turned out to be such a cosy start for the day, with wild herbs and all. Quiet and clean accommodation with a common kitchen. Lovely beach, view, and nature.

    I have been visiting Joensuu since 2012. In the winter season, the city looks very beautiful as it gets covered with a fantastic blanket of snow. The sight of the frozen river is just stunning! I love the city for its cozy and peaceful atmosphere and the kindness of the locals.

    Koli National Park was formed by tens of thousands of years of erosion during the Ice Age, so the trails and hills are covered with large and small rocks. There are rich landscape changes during the journey. In autumn, the leaves are dyed red, yellow and orange. With a variety of colorful scenes, Koli National Park is a great place to enjoy autumn scenery. Climbing up the hills, you will see a 180-degree view of the lake unfolding in front of you, and you will be shocked by the magnificent scenery - and the trails are also very beautiful. The signs are very clear, so you don’t have to worry about getting lost if you’re walking alone.

    It's a small but cute little place with excellent hiking options. Few other locations along with Koli are close by in case you wish to see more. Very easy to get to see the Akka-, Ukko- and Paha-Koli and enjoy the view to lake Pielinen. I recommend to drive also to the harbour and see lake Pielinen also from the shore.
