This spacious cottage sits on a large lawn with a private sandy beach, pier, and a terrace with a 9-person jacuzzi.

Local cafes, walking trails, and small museums are within easy reach...
Kettula combines traditional Finnish cottage charm with updated comforts across a generous plot overlooking Lake Oksjärvi. The main house has three bedrooms with quality linens and calming views of the garden. Downstairs, the living space is arranged for relaxed days with a wood-burning fireplace, soft seating, and a smart TV.
The kitchen includes a full suite of appliances, plenty of utensils, and a dining table that seats six. A second dining space outdoors lets you make the most of warm evenings with a meal or morning coffee on the terrace.
The separate sauna building, fully modernised in 2022, has a large window framing the water and sandy beach. The Harvia stove creates a classic steam experience, and the adjacent terrace leads straight to the jacuzzi or pier for a swim.
Outdoors, the 6880 m² garden is fenced for privacy. Guests have access to a SUP board, rowing boat, bikes, fishing gear, and yard games. An edible garden provides seasonal treats including berries and asparagus.

About the area
Helsinki, Finland's capital, is a mesmerizing fusion of natural splendor and cultural wealth. The city's distinct allure is found in its harmonious blend of neoclassical and contemporary architecture, a lively arts scene, and an intimate connection with nature.
One cannot miss the Helsinki Cathedral when in the city. This awe-inspiring neoclassical church dominates Senate Square and provides panoramic vistas of the city. For those interested in modern architecture, the Kamppi Chapel and Kiasma Museum of Contemporary Art are essential stops.
The cultural treasures of Helsinki are equally remarkable. The Ateneum Art Museum is home to Finland's most extensive art collection, showcasing works from the 19th century to present times. Music aficionados will enjoy a visit to the Sibelius Monument dedicated to Finnish composer Jean Sibelius.
Helsinki's culinary scene is dynamic and caters to all palates. From traditional Finnish fare served in quaint taverns to innovative gastronomy in chic restaurants, Helsinki promises a diverse and delectable culinary adventure.
Nature enthusiasts will find much to love about Helsinki. The city is enveloped by water with numerous parks and green spaces offering respite from urban life. A boat trip to Suomenlinna Sea Fortress not only offers historical insights but also breathtaking views of the surrounding seascape.
For those who love shopping, Design District Helsinki presents an array of Finnish design shops offering everything from fashion and furniture to ceramics and jewelry. And for relaxation seekers, a traditional Finnish sauna experience is unbeatable.
During winter months, Helsinki morphs into a snowy paradise providing activities like ice-skating and cross-country skiing right within the city confines. Although not known as a prime location for Northern Lights viewing, on rare occasions one might catch sight of this spectacular natural phenomenon.
In summary, Helsinki presents an enticing blend of cosmopolitan comforts and close contact with nature that appeals to all kinds of travelers. Its rich history, vibrant culture, stunning landscapes and welcoming locals make it a destination truly worth discovering.
