Karelia - Luxury Finnish Log Cabin w/Hot-tub

Lovely Finnish log cabin with amazing Forest views, superbly located next to Ringwood Forest with direct forest access. Carefully listening to guest feedback, the property has had a complete make-over and opened in April 2023. 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 new modern kitchen (2022) has a 10 person dining table and opens to the outdoor terrace dining and hot tub through French Doors.
The unique feature is the newly landscaped surrounding lawn, trees & mature garden, which is 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
On the land is a World War 2 army bunker which we have converted into a Finnish Sauna and heated plunge pool. Please ask about booking and prices.
We also offer onsite Italian Chef services - pls ask for details.
Please note: the 100+ reviews before April 2023 are from before the renovation of the property.

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.

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.
