About this property

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

Karelia was the first property of 5 holiday cottages which we have created. On our land we have also Viipuri another Finnish cabin sleeping 14 and The Art Studio sleeping 14. All 3 are separate properties and fenced off from each other.
My name is Timo, and I look after Karelia, which is one of several holiday homes. I will be looking after you during your stay. Karelia has been a holiday home for guests since the early 1980's when my grandfather and Finnish grandmother, Helena, imported and the property from Finland. We have spent 2023 renovating the cottage bringing it up to modern standards.
