We stayed here for a weekend on easter of 2017 and I have nothing but good things to say about the place and its hosts. First of all, the hosts were extremely helpful and friendly and they made us feel like home immediately upon arriving. They let us know about all the possibilities of things to do around the area and kindly answered all our questions about hiking and the history of the place. We ended up ice fishing (which was amazing), catching our own fish and cooking it and then going to the barrel sauna they had outside. The breakfast was very good and we felt extremely relaxed after our stay. Would definitely recommend to anyone looking for relaxation.

We ended up at this place after walking the Karhunpolku and Canoëing the Jogunjoki. (9 day's in total) Beïng very hungry and tired, we started looking in Nurmijärvi for a restaurant and a sauna. We were so lucky to end up here! The host wasn't expecting us, because they only take bookings at forhand. But she welcomed us very friendly! We had the most beautiful view, the most cute sauna in the world! And she even made us a very tasty and nice diner! We were so greatful to end up here! I hope one day we come back and stay a little bit longer. Thank you so much for your hospitality!!! Linsay & Dempsey

We stayed here for two nights in early April. Albeit not the best time of the year to visit, we still thought it was incredibly pretty, and it was great to see some of the migratory birds coming back. The forests are really nice to walk through, and the locals are very helpful in a pinch. Jarkko was incredibly helpful in describing possible walks we could go on and the local sights. He was also more than happy to go birdwatching with us! We really felt welcome and cared for during our stay. Jarkko is very knowledgable about the local wildlife and area, and was able to answer any questions we had for him. The cottage we stayed in was warm, clean, well furnished and maintained, and very very cozy. We honestly can't wait to be back! Thanks so much!

Location: wonderful! Rooms: beautiful! Courtesy: unbeatable! Close your eyes and imagine: a beautiful cottage, great .. clean .. elegant .. with all amenities. A lake, blue and calm ... where water lilies bloom .. where you can swim ... fish .. go canoeing ... or simply sleep to rowing on the boat. Imagine a lush green lawn with flowers and fruits to collect, between the cottage and the lake .. Imagine a real traditional Finnish sauna, then plunge into the lake ... Imagine a hut where you can cook and eat on the shore of the lake. Or even a fireplace right on the beach .... Imagine, all around, paths for walking, and cycling, among woods and carpets of fresh blueberries! Imagine that you stay for hours without listening to a car engine! Imagine walking in the woods at midnight, with no torch! In the incredible silence of the woods of Karelia. Imagine a hearty breakfast with fresh fruit and homemade jam on the spot, with local fruits ... Imagine people with incredible kindness ... They will provide everything: canoe, boat, bicycle, maps, sauna .. Now open your eyes, you've come to Jongunjoki! I've never seen a paradise like this ... I'll be back! I swear!…

In early September, my husband and I spent two nights at Jongunjoen Matkailu. After a long drive from Helsinki we were tired so it was nice when the host, Victoria, greeted us at the road and said she had coffee, tea, and cookies waiting. This greeting set the tone for the rest of our stay there. Victoria cooked wonderful meals (especially the soup!), provided tips on what to do in the area, and loaned us maps, which we had neglected to bring. She and her husband were attentive without being intrusive. Their property is in a lovely wooded setting, and it's clean and well-maintained. My husband and I especially enjoyed our early morning breakfasts in the dining room, which overlooks a lake. We strongly recommend Jongunjoen Matkailu.

In august I was supposed to stay at Jongunjoen Matkailu for two to three days due to my work but I ended up staying there about ten nights mostly because of the excellent B&B accommondation. I made relatively long days in woods and regardless of the time I arrived, there was always great dinner available with affordable prices. Place itself is in really nice and peaceful location at the lake shore. Sauna was always ready and service outstanding. Small problems from refueling the car to internet difficulties were always solved with ease. And did i mention the food! This is the way you want to overnight when doing hiking, skiing or canoeing! Possibilities for all mentioned in the list were excellent in the area. Place is also located along the "Rukajärven tie", so there were lots of war memorabilia nearby. I will definately wisit the place for canoeing and cycling around the historic war zones in holiday purposes. Excellent place, prices and service. Strong recommendation!…

After a long rainy day walk down the Karhunpolku, being hosted by this b&B was a real touch-of-God. Friendly and efficient service, tidiness everywhere, several relax opportunities, lovely sauna. Staff is ready to help you fnding solutions to any of your little travel troubles. On sunny days, free canoa tours on the adjacent lake.

Thank you for taking the time to write this review and for your comments following your recent stay with us, at Jongunjoen Matkailu. On our part we are glad to hear how you were pleased with the facility and service. It is good that our place “dropped in” well during your tour along Karhunpolku (a 136km long hiking trail close to the eastern border runs through almost uninhabited country). Welcome again!

This is a place, which seems difficult to get to, but, once you are there, you understand it is worth it. Precious nature and cozy accommodation will make long or short stay unforgettable. I had a chance to spend there one weekend in April with a friend. The snow was still there, but it is unbelievable how many interesting things one can do there. The combination of forest trails and spacious lake surface are endless. Great amount of nature inhabitants and your hardly meet people there, and if you meet someone they are exceptionally friendly. The Russian border is just some km away, and although you cannot actually enter the Russian territory you can get a feeling that you are almost there. The home made food that the owners provide is just delicious! I was wondering how it will be there during the summer. So I am planning on organizing a trip with my friends or family there for at least one week. Really looking forward to endless days and short nights in Northern Karelia!…

A short trip to the Eastern part of Finland by a car was a great idea last summer,specially after one unforgattable stay by the lake,close to Lieksa. We wanted to try small hotels,cottages,B&B etc instead of big hotels... This Jongunjoen Matkailu"Beg & Breakfast" offered much more that we expected. Young couple that are running this familiar,very clean "Finnish Home"- accommodation made our stay so comfortable,we stayed longer than was originally planned. There's also kind of "cottage" with cooking facilities,suitable for a bigger group,(and also pets allowed)a part of the traditional rooms. Sauna and the BBQ-place by the lake was a big + !! Most surely we'll visit this place again!!
