Katve Nature Retreat

Katve is perfectly situated to explore around Kirkkonummi with train access to Helsinki. Hosts Br & Auli are amazing & welcoming. The views from the resort lake are astounding & if you fancy a swim & then sauna go for it! Highly recommended.

Beautiful, tastefully furnished house in a wonderful natural setting. The hosts have put a lot of thought into making the stay enjoyable, with plenty to do right on the property – boats, stand-up paddleboards, opportunities to explore nature and outdoor games. It was also convenient that the nearest town, Kirkkonummi, a lovely local shop and a barbecue spot (FireFish) were all very close. Joel was always easy to reach, very friendly and helpful.

It was our first time sharing a property with other guests (two houses with two apartments each). However, everyone was very nice, quiet and respectful, so we never felt disturbed.

Proximity to Helsinki, sauna set-up was lovely and well kept, lake very close to house with free use of paddle boards and boat, quality bedding, nice chairs on deck and hammocks, nature trail

We weren’t quite sure how the cabins were laid out (2 sets of semi-detached joined cabins) based on the booking.com images. A few appliances were less efficient than expected (e.g. oven).

Sehr ruhig gelegen. Super zum fischen.

Viihtyisät asunnot, tilava, valoisa. Lyhyt matka porkkalanniemen luontopoluille.

Piha-alue voisi olla viihtyisämpi.

Tolle Lage an einem schönen See. Die Unterkunft hatte alles, was wir uns wünschen könnten und war sehr schön eingerichtet. Die Boote und SUPs waren eine tolle Ergänzung. Wir können sie uneingeschränkt weiterempfehlen!

Superb setting, lake and cabin are both stunning with lots of walks nearby. Feels remote and yet the town with shops is only 12 minutes away. Perfect! Boat and SUP are there ready to go if needed. BBQ ready to go. Hosts are super responsive via messenging if you need anything. Thank you for providing and setting up a travel cot for us, and we had everything we needed in the well stocked kitchen.

We loved the quiet location surrounded by nature despite it being so close to Helsinki which made it an ideal location for a long weekend. We really enjoyed dipping in the lake with the ice and then warming up in the saunas. There was a mix-up on our side about which cabins our group were staying in - our hosts were extremely understanding of the situation despite the extra cleaning they had to do as a result of us having to move for incoming guests.

Nothing.

Wundervolle, ruhige Lage am See. Sehr sympathische und hilfsbereite Gastgeber. Wir sind mehr als zufrieden. Nur zum Weiterempfehlen.

site dépaysant pour des citadins français, calme, dans une nature verdoyante, chalet chaleureux, très propre, bien équipé et tout confort. Le sauna, l'accès au lac, la barque ont été pour nous un grand luxe. Idéal pour se ressourcer en étant proche de Helsinki. Joel a été très attentionné et a répondu très rapidement à toutes nos questions. Nous avons adoré ce lieu et souhaiterions y revenir en hiver pour y vivre une nouvelle expérience.

rien tout est parfait!

Très bon emplacement, beaucoup d'équipements disponibles (BBQ, Barque, cheminée, tapis de sport..)

Izjemna lokacija - tako nastanitev kot tudi okolje, v katerem je. Za ljudi, ki iščejo mir, lepoto narave in kraj za umik.

Morda je nekoliko nerodna le ureditev kopalnice. V ene prostoru je wc in umivalnik, v drugem prostoru pa tuš. Ampak to ne vpliva na kvaliteto storitve in bivanja.

Tout mais particulièrement le sauna et le « bain » dans le lac gelé après ! Très belle expérience. Coucher du soleil magnifique, déco très sympa,….

Prima huisje, heerlijke bedden, fijne Sauna, mooie omgeving en veel info voor diezelfde omgeving.

Niets

Beautiful cozy mökki near the lake with everything you might need fora a relaxing weekend. Nice atmosphere. Kind and very organized staff.

Great Location. Beautiful nature close to Helsinki, Espoo as well as Nuuksio. There is everything you need and comfortable beds for 6 people. Great sauna that comfortably fits 3 at a time and a lake around the corner to cool off even in winter.

No door and some open space between upper floor with two beds and the living room/kitchen. When the heat pump runs at night this is quite noisy, so most will need earplugs to sleep there. This is only true for 2 single beds though.

Ihana luonnonläheinen paikka!

Die Hütte hatte eine tolle Lage, tolle Sicht. Die Betreiber haben uns sogar einen Hochstuhl für unseren Sohn bereitgestellt. Die Umgebung ist super zum runterkommen, der Nature Path ging direkt vor der Haustür los

Das Bett war etwas weich für unseren Geschmack, aber wie gesagt: Geschmackssache.

Cadre dépaysant, calme et propriétaire tres soucieux du bien être. Propreté remarquable.

Absolutely magical, a wonderful retreat in nature. Sweet cabins and lovely to swim in the lake / take the boat out. Big fan of the sauna!

The location is beautiful, quiet and with lots of trails. The hospitality of the owners is exeptional!

N/a

Very nice place. The initial message you receive before checking in explains everything in detail and has some excellent suggestions of activities and places around. In general, a very nice experience.

The place is very beautiful and quiet - pure nature. The cabin is really cozy and comfortable. And the hosts, owners - extremely attentive and helpful. We had a great rest.

This was our second holiday at Katve. We stayed last year & we were so impressed with the cabin, its facilities including access to the lake & accessibility to Helsinki we booked this second stay. Auli is a wonderful host & makes your stay a special holiday.

Nothing applicable to add

Fantastic location, beautiful super clean cabin and really friendly host.

Wonderful peaceful location . Accommodation well set out , airy space with every amenity needed. Nice for both groups to have own accommodation but still adjoining each other .

Second bedroom quite small .

Ruhige Lage mitten im Wald am See. Sehr großer, gut ausgestatteter Wohn- und Küchenbereich. Konstante Raumtemperatur durch gute "Fernheizung". Sehr gute Kommunikation mit den Gastgebern. Waren sofort zur Stelle, wenn man sie gebraucht hat.

"Some place you can feel with your heart". Das Haus! Der See! Die Nachtwanderung iin der Mittsommernacht auf dem Naturpfad! Einfach ein "place to be". Wir haben die Tage hier sehr genossen und es hat uns an nichts gefehlt. Das Haus ist bestens und liebevoll ausgestattet. Schon im Vorab haben wir von den Gastgebern viele hilfreiche Informationen erhalten. Aufgrund von Streik hatten wir eine veränderte Anreise. Aber die Gastgeber waren jederzeit für uns erreichbar und sorgten dafür, dass wir auch nachts um 1 Uhr unkompliziert unser Häuschen finden konnten.

A beautiful, well equipped mökki in an ideal location, not far from Helsinki. Peaceful surroundings and a beautiful lake. We enjoyed trips to the coast and inland to lake Meiko during our stay.

This was our third visit to Katve and as usual it did not disappoint. Everything was PERFECT :) The cabin is so cosy especially with the log burner . We loved having access to our own sauna and being able to cool off in the beautiful lake which is just a few steps away. Auli is the perfect host and we look forward to returning to one of our favourite holiday spots.

Beautiful environment, super peaceful surroundings, really friendly host, very clean

Location was amazing , very welcoming host and cabin was so clean and so cosy. Close to the shops

We liked everything

Lovely quiet place for a break from the city. It was easy to get there, all interactions with the hosts were easy, got briefed on all the features and amenities before arriving. The sauna, fireplace, grill were all excellent. The house was warm, we liked the interior, the bed was comfortable. All in all, a great place to stay!

The communication from the hosts was excellent from the time we booked, they were very responsive and helpful, giving us comprehensive information about the property and ideas for things to do in the area. Every communication was so friendly and helpful. The cabin was very comfortable and had everything we needed. We loved the sauna. The location was beautiful; so quiet and peaceful, and very scenic. We really managed to recover and recharge. The lake was wonderful and we really appreciated the effort made to keep a hole open in the ice for winter swimming - thank you. Thank you for a wonderful, peaceful stay.

Peaceful and quiet, beside a lake.

The location and especially the lake is gorgeous! I also really liked the water sport equipment (SUP and rowing boat) that were free to use. Also I saw deer from the kitchen window, how awesome is that?!

I didn’t like that there are three houses, two of them semidetached (so 5 apartments in total) and also the house is not “directly” at the lake. This was never promised in the listing but just something I assumed from the pictures. So don’t expect to lay naked in the sun ;)

Location and the nature were great. The house was so cosy.

The spot or area is really a "Nature retreat" such a wonderful place. Auli, one of the owners, was also simply enchanting. She made this place even more special.

I would like more shelf space in the toilet room. Perhaps a small hanging shelf or something similar. But maybe as a woman I just need something like that. :-)

Cosy cabins in a beautiful location. We had a lovely family Christmas here.

Really enjoyed location and area around, perfect place for a relaxing stay. House was lovely and with all the necessary equipment in it. Excellent communication with owner, helpful and friendly.

No issues at all.

Simply perfect, would highly recommend. Accommodation proprietor was amazing, made to feel very welcome and had good communication throughput the stay.

Everything was wonderful. No complaints at all.

Fabulous place in peaceful surroundings with beautiful scenery. The lake shore and jetty are in good condition and easy to swim from. There is a great outdoor fireplace with nice views. The cabin has everything necessary and plenty of room. Can highly recommend Katve!

We can also highly recommend this cabin for everyone and also for many days. Our stay was perfect. The contact with the hosts Auli and Petri was extremely friendly. They were very quick, attentive and helpful when we had questions. It doesn't get any better. The cabin is really well equiped, the photos correspond to reality. We immediately felt comfortable. Nature is absolutely fantastic. We are very grateful for this time, will advertise to friends and family and can very well imagine coming back (sure again with honey ;-). All the best for you and your family! Tina

Such a peaceful setting - with everything you would want from a cabin-in-the-woods experience, from a hammock to rock in the breeze to a cozy fireplace to snuggle up by in the evenings.

Nothing

Another stay, another wonderful time. The cottages are still our favorite place to stay during the summer season. The nearby lake and nature is just gorgeous. Nearby hiking places are great and will bring your relaxation level to the maximum. A must visit in our eyes and as said in the stays before: Definitely not our last stay.

Just a place where you can have a REAL VACATION :) chill and relax and enjoy the nature and your compaignons! already want to return.

Everything was so perfect. The moment we arrived, we instantly felt at home. The cabin was so spacious, well-designed, and well-equipped. We had access to a picnic area next to a lake, the lake itself, a yoga platform and many hiking trails. The cabin also had outdoor seating, a hammock and a grill. The owner was one of the kindest and nicest people I had the pleasure to meet. This will be our place whenever we visit Finland.

There was absolutely nothing we didn’t like.

It was amazing experience! The cabin was on the calm and relaxing location. Auli was so kind and helpful. She bought some slide for the kids to have fun in the snow! and she gave us some good advice for our stay ! The cabin is really functional with a nice chimney .

everything was perfect

The place was amazing and peaceful. We enjoyed every bit of it. The sauna was great after cold days. Being close to Helsinki is a plus. Nature surrounding the cabin is amazing. We even met a moose on one of our walks. I got injured hiking but everyone helped us and in the end all ended up fine. I would recommend the place time and time again. Thank you very much!

All was great

Extraordinary nature. Very cozy house. Everything is organized perfectly for a relaxing holiday and enjoying nature!!!

Second stay, as perfect as the first one. Excellent location, excellent cottage. A quiet and relaxing place with a lot of nature around, fresh air and a quiet lake, which allows for a swim in the summer. Excellent hosts!
