Combine a lakeside or riverside escape with walks around Petrozavodsk. This collection includes standalone cabins, cottages for groups and townhouses with private verandas.
At Glanta, 15 minutes from Petrozavodsk, you can stay in one of two houses overlooking the forest and lake. Each has an equipped kitchen, and breakfast is included, so you can start the day without cooking. There is also a bathhouse complex on site with a year-round outdoor pool.
For a break outside Petrozavodsk, choose a lakeside cabin or a townhouse with its own veranda. At Khvoya Karelia on Lake Navdozero, every house has a kitchen and a terrace with a barbecue, while breakfast is included at NewCamp Essoyla near Lake Syamozero. Verkhovye offers townhouses with private entrances and verandas, 20 km from Petrozavodsk.
These retreats offer a break from city bustle by the water. At Chunki on the Suna River, well-spaced cottages sleep 2–15 guests, suiting both secluded getaways and larger groups. Cosmos Karelia on Lake Ukshozero is a 20-minute drive from Petrozavodsk: each house has a kitchen, and breakfast is available on advance request.
Consider TaleoHome: its cabins sit among pine trees on the shore of Lake Onega, a 20-minute drive from the city centre. For a walk in town, head to the Onega Embankment, which connects the central part of Petrozavodsk with the lakeshore.
For a family of up to four, Jarvi has houses with two separate bedrooms and an equipped kitchen. For a larger group, consider Chunki: its well-spaced cottages sleep 2–15 guests.
If you’re travelling without a car, check the route and whether transfers are available with your chosen property in advance: a quoted driving time does not imply public transport access. To reduce trips out for food, consider Mys Onego, which has a café and offers set breakfasts, lunches and dinners.
