Tainan Tupa Reviews

It was a lovely experience! The boat ride as well as the owner’s recommendation to visit Kammiovuori were the highlights of our trip to Sysmä.

We really enjoyed our stay at Tainan Tupa and thought the property was lovely and well located. Our hosts helped respond to our requests during the visit. Hope to come back some day.

Simply perfect….the cottage, the lake, the location, the neighbourhood, everything exactly as expected from the presentation and the pictures from your homepage. We liked the silence, the peacefulness, the isolation.

Our group of eight adults and children spent a blissful week in late August at your beautiful lakeside cottage. It was so comfortable and well-equipped. The children enjoyed the toys and games very much, as well as meeting your herd of sheep and your dog. We enjoyed the rowboat, canoe, bonfire and even swam. The forest walks around the villa were excellent as well. We hope that we have the opportunity to visit again.

Amazing Holiday at a perfectly timed snow covered Villa Tainan Tupa, really spacious cabin plenty for a family with children aged 10-12-14 the lake in front of the villa was frozen and perfect for learning to cross country ski, then with another dowsing of snow the 8 or so KM of forest trials were freshly groomed by Vesa giving us everything we needed on our door step. perfect wood fired sauna that we used daily cosy fire for the evenings wifi to keep the tech savvy kids happy and the great village of Sysma with two really well stocked supermarkets great sports shop and ice rinks funky traditional cafe for country people like us it was just right.

Lahti is about an hour away if you need the city life and down hill skiing and amazing winter olympic park, finally the hosts Vesa and Taina really have it just right making sure you have everything you need but done in such a nice way that they arent trying too hard absolutely lovely couple, we will be back as soon as we can maybe for a bit longer than a week next time, if our sports obsessed kids have a break long enough in their activities.

We stayed at Tainan Tupa next to the lake and had a blast! The location is great as there is beautiful lake next to the villa and private 10km well-maintained cross country ski tracks running next to the villa. The lake next to villa offers possibilities for ice-hole fishing, several locals were fishing. The villa itself is well equipped having good cooking possibilities, sauna and terrace towards sun set 👍 The owner was very friendly and showed everything necessary. We would definately come again!

We (two adults and two children) stayed at Tainan Tupa for a few days at the end of May. The setting is beautiful and incredibly tranquil. There was plenty to do if you wanted to be active (which we did some of the time) but a lot of the time we just wanted to enjoy the cottage and the surroundings. The cottage felt like a real home away from home – it was comfortable and well-equipped and there were lots of nice places to relax with a book in and around the cottage. We hope to return one day.

Tainan Tupa was one of the most comfortable holiday houses we have ever stayed in! There was enough room for all our family. The cottage is so well thought out, that we could feel as at home. Every evening our family enjoyed the sunset on the lake and had a fire in a special open fireplace. The sauna is fantastic. Highly recommend and hope to return.
