Karelia - Lovely Log Cabin w/Hot-tub and forest access, sleeps 10

Lovely Finnish log cabin with amazing Forest views, superbly located next to Ringwood Forest with direct forest access.

In 2023 the property had a complete make-over - the new spacious layout is designed for 10 persons with a cosy in-door living for those cold wet months, with a Scandinavian Wood-Burning Stove at the centre of the open plan area.

The property is ideal for 2 families, with 3 newly renovated bathrooms, and ample living space. The modern kitchen has a 10 person dining table and opens to the outdoor terrace dining and hot tub through French Doors.

The unique feature is the landscaped lawn, trees & mature garden, which is gated, fenced and private to the cottage. The property backs on to Ringwood Forest with miles and miles of walks and cycling areas, including the Castleman Trailways and Moors Valley Country Park.

The location is also conveniently close to the A338/A31 for easy access to both the New Forest (10 mins), Bournemouth Beach (15 mins), and multiple Dorset/Hampshire pubs and restaurants

Great location

Everything you need for a relaxing few days away - loved being able to walk in the woods (literally on the doorstep) but also head down to the beach. Great space for all weathers.

Cabin in the Woods

The cabin was a cosy haven, boasting rustic charm with modern comforts. The spacious living area, with its crackling fireplace, plush furnishings, and inviting hot tub was the perfect spot to unwind after a day of exploring the woods.

Cabin in the woods

Karelia is a beautiful cabin in a beautiful location. Close to amenities and things to do for the whole family. The children and adults enjoyed the hot tub and we couldn’t have asked for a better family holiday. Hoping to stay again.

Bedrooms an issue

We were a family with 8 adults and 2 children in the 5 bedrooms. This property is more suited to 2 family’s each with children. Two of the bedrooms were definitely not suited for adults. One of the bedrooms only had child size beds. Apart from the bedrooms we loved everything

Amazing place to stay!!!, what a find

What an amazing place this is to stay. Considering the amount of people staying there it never felt crowded. Great touch of decorating the lodge with Christmas decorations. Timo was accommodating and answered any questions we had.... and the wife and kids loved the WW2 sauna with a plunge pool. Thank you for an amazing stay and really can't wait to re-book

Fabulous Finish cabin in the Forest!

We had a fantastic holiday at Karelia. The cabin was perfect, big, newly refurbished, authentic and super cozy and comfortable. The garden was beautiful and the jacuzzi and the access to the forest a total bonus! The hosts are lovely, very friendly and always at hand to help. We were sad to leave and can’t wait to come back! Thank you so much for making our trip so memorable!
