Today, Sahanlahti is a renowned and traditional tourist resort in a stunning location on the shores of Lake Saimaa in Puumala, less than an hour’s drive from Savonlinna, Mikkeli, and Imatra. This culturally and historically unique sawmill environment and its modern facilities create a wonderful setting for holidays and celebrations.

At Sahanlahti, you will be looked after by the hosts Jaana and Janne Kuivalainen. It is a matter of honour for the host couple to provide you with great and memorable experiences in the beautiful scenery of Lake Saimaa, in the unique milieu of Sahanlahti.

Local food, heartfelt service, and the history of the area with its interesting stories are close to the heart of hostess Jaana Kuivainen. The job of the host at Sahanlahti is well suited to the social Janne Kuivalainen, who chats with customers while heating the smoke sauna and pushing snow. This easy-going host will be happy to sit down with you at the coffee table.

This couple has created a warm and cosy atmosphere at Sahanlahti, where guests feel at home. By their own example, they have instilled in their employees the same enthusiasm for delivering memorable experiences to Sahanlahti’s guests through great service.
