We are a family business in the Finnish archipelago

Welcome to Lake Saimaa! Puumala Niinisaare! I rent cottages and offer restaurant services here in Puumala, in an island called “Niinisaari” in finnish. I have over 35 years of experience running this business. In my free time I like to play with my two dogs, bake and pick mushrooms and berries from our forests. We have the perfect setting for all this here. Did you know that Puumala has more coastline than the whole of France? I welcome you to visit our beautiful island. I can promise that there’s room for you here to relax, connect with nature and contemplate.
