Welcome to our village Kesälahti in North Karelia. Kesälahti is located between three gorgeous lakes and one of them we share with Russia. In the forests you can find lots of ponds with clear waters and lots of fish.
Kesälahti (Summer Bay in English) is an enjoyable village and known for its holiday and berry paradises. Some of the best moments can be silently experienced by the water, hearing only the voices of local nature or just to feel and breathe the fresh air. We have space and about 6 people living in one hectare.
