In Resort Sahanlahti you spend a lovely holiday, sleep well, enjoy the local delicates and relax in beautiful surroundings. Sahanlahti is situated in the heart of the Saimaa lake district, eight kilometres from the village of Puumala. One of the oldest sawmills in the Saimaa region used to be located here. The last sawmill was closed in 1936, but life in Sahanlahti very much continues.

Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

The food ingredients had great potential but unfortunately poor cooking and service ruined the experience. Food was cold and overcooked and there were no waiters so eventually the cook brought our food. Such a shame because the view is lovely and place very cozy.

Rantamakasiini; Pizza is size of appetizer, if you are hungry this is too small.. Muikut so salty, that not possible to eat. Send it once back, but same result - not eatable! Drinks are fine and personel ok. Scenery fine, near the water lake Saimaa.

My second time at Sahanlahti resort. Rooms are very basic but functional. I really liked the food and friendly service. Sahanlahti offers also good facilities for meetings for small teams. I really enjoyed the dinner at the old log house by the main building. (I am not sure if it is always open).

Sahanlahti resort offers excellent accommodation alternatives, we (two couples) took this time a suite for 4 persons with sauna. Great choice, use own sauna and then to lake that is very close to apartment. Breakfast was excellent, as well dinner in the old boat shed. Bonus point goes to Mikko, super social cat.

We were on a six night cycling tour and this was undoubtedly the best place that we stayed overnight even though we went always for the best avalaible (after hard work on a bicycle one does not want to compromise sleeping comfort or the quality of food). We stayed in a separate cottage. Even though we were only two, we had the largest one as that was the only one avalaibale. Thus there was some extra space that we did not need and some unnecessary cost incurred (it was a bit on the expensive side I must say), but then again we had a quiet and peaceful surroundings, a modern cottage with air cooling (it was a hot day) and the cotteges had an own quay for swimming. The restaurant for dinner (and breakfast) was in the old main building. It was a warm evening and we had our table on the terrace. The views were simply magnificent and food was of some innovativeness, good quality and reasonable price. I do not give five points easily...

We booked a double room originally for four nights to spend some relaxing time in this place. Already during the first night we discovered that the hotel rooms (most probably not the cabins) are quite noisy as you can hear nearly everything from the rooms next door and above. Also during the week the restaurant closes already at 8 pm - so either early drinks and back to your room or drive to Puumala and then later drinks from minibar. Breakfast time though is very comfortable (til 11 am) and the terrace is gorgeous. Breakfast menu is okayish - and it took me some time to find out that you can also order special coffee and tea for free and that you are not restricted to the coffee on the hot plate. One advantage is a hiking route close by which is about 22 km through forest and most probably some waters (we did not do the full round). Bike rental is available, but not for free. If you want to stay several nights and need food, order from the small menu. It is in Finnish only, but staff will help to translate.

The cabins are very nice, well equipped and comfortable, just a few meters from the water. The staff is friendly, nice food and good activities in the Finnish forest. A good choice. Likely to return in the future.

This is a really great place to stay to get an idea of what summer lake life is like in Finland. Our room was very basic, but very clean. Unfortunately it was extremely hot and there was only a small fan. The best part of our stay was the restaurant on the lake that had the best hamburger I’ve ever had and the dinner at the main restaurant had such a beautiful view and was delicious. My absolute favorite thing was the private lakeside sauna. You can rent it for an hour and twenty minutes for about 40 euro and you have direct access from the little sauna house to a very private lake. It was amazing, but make sure you reserve it in advance. The biggest negative for me was that the reception staff wasn’t very friendly or helpful at all.

A former sawmill from the end of 18th century, this place has offered accomodation services in about 30 years with a two year break a couple of years ago, when the place was renovated. You'll find a beautiful place at the northern end of Koskenselkä, part of the biggest lake of Finland, lake Saimaa. You can choose between a lakeside hotel with 9 double rooms and a suite or 5 villas 2 of which with an own sauna or one of the three granary accomodations without private WC or shower. Whichever your choice, you'll find a friendly and rustic atmosphere in very beautiful surroundings. They even have an excellent restaurant.

All we can say is Wow- Our first visit under the new owners was in July 2014. The second just a week ago was for Sunday brunch on a gorgeous sunny day- What a buffet- way superior to so many- the restaurant was very busy- service was excellent. So good to hear a local couple saying it was their third visit in recent weeks- making up for the times they did not visit under the last owners! We know from living in the Scottish Highlands it is not easy to run a very good hotel and restaurant- short season and few in the deep winter. Wonderful imaginative menu with local ingredients and always fresh buffet- We don't stay as we've a summer place the other side of Puumala- but if you are anywhere near- Sahanlahti is so worth a visit.
