ABOUT KRUUNUN LOMAT
WHY CHOOSE KRUUNUN LOMAT FOR A COTTAGE HOLIDAY IN SOUTHERN FINLAND?
Kruunun Lomat offers peaceful lakeside cottages in Vihtijärvi, Länsi-Uusimaa — just 50 minutes from Helsinki and about 40 minutes from Helsinki-Vantaa Airport. Our cottages combine traditional Finnish charm with modern comfort, ideal for families, couples, and nature lovers.
CAN I RENT A COTTAGE JUST FOR A WEEKEND?
Yes! We offer flexible booking options, including weekend stays. It’s a perfect short getaway surrounded by nature — close to Helsinki yet far from city noise, ideal for rest, sauna time, and outdoor activities.
BOOKING AND ARRIVAL
HOW DO I GET THE COTTAGE KEYS?
Keys are handed over personally or through a locked key box. You’ll receive clear instructions in your booking confirmation, so you can arrive flexibly — even late at night.
CAN WE ARRIVE LATE IN THE EVENING? WHAT ABOUT LATE CHECK-OUT?
Late arrival is possible if agreed in advance. Check-in time is 16:00, and check-out is 12:00. During high season we need time for cleaning, but you can always ask about a later departure — we’ll confirm based on availability.
ARE THE COTTAGES AVAILABLE YEAR-ROUND?
Yes, our cottages are available in every season. Prices vary depending on the season. In winter, the roads are ploughed and you can drive right to the door, making it easy to enjoy a cosy winter escape.
FACILITIES AND COMFORT
DO I NEED TO CLEAN THE COTTAGE MYSELF AT THE END OF THE STAY?
In Kruunun Helmi, final cleaning is always included in the price, so you can relax and enjoy your holiday. In Villa Metsänvartija, you can either clean the cottage yourself following the departure-day instructions in the info folder, or choose a cleaning service for an extra €100 fee.
ARE CLEANING TOOLS AND DETERGENTS PROVIDED?
Yes, each cottage is equipped with all necessary cleaning tools and dishwashing detergent — both for machine and hand washing — to make your stay easy and comfortable.
DO THE COTTAGES HAVE A SAUNA?
Yes, every Kruunun Lomat cottage features a traditional Finnish sauna — perfect for relaxing after a day spent exploring nature or enjoying outdoor activities.
PETS
ARE YOUR COTTAGES PET-FRIENDLY? CAN I BRING MY PET?
Yes, pets are welcome in Kruunun Helmi for an additional fee of €25 per pet per stay. Owners are responsible for the pet’s behaviour and cleanliness. Surrounded by nature, Kruunun Helmi is ideal for a relaxing family getaway with your furry friend. Please note that Villa Metsänvartija does not allow pets.
ACTIVITIES AND NEARBY SERVICES
CAN I GO FISHING AT THE COTTAGE?
Kruunun Helmi is located by a lake, where guests can fish and use the available rowboat. Life jackets are provided. Please bring your own fishing equipment, as gear is not included. Villa Metsänvartija is on dry land without a lake.
CAN I BRING MY OWN HOT TUB?
Bringing your own hot tub is not allowed. However, Kruunun Lomat rents a hot tub trailer for Kruunun Helmi. Please ask about availability, and pricing when making your booking.
WHERE CAN I FIND INFORMATION ABOUT LOCAL ACTIVITIES?
We’re happy to provide tips about nearby nature trails, local services, and activity options. You’ll also find an information folder inside each cottage with maps and suggestions for things to do.
HOW FAR IS THE NEAREST GROCERY STORE?
The nearest grocery store is about 9 km away. You can also find some basic supplies at the nearby café, Syökerin Tupa, located just a short drive from the cottages.
CANCELLATION POLICY
WHAT ARE YOUR CANCELLATION POLICIES?
You can cancel your booking free of charge up to 14 days before arrival. The full payment is required in advance, but there are no additional booking fees. If your plans change, please contact us as soon as possible — we’re happy to assist with any modifications.
