Villas in Kuhmoinen
Kuhmoinen is a lake municipality on the west shore of Lake Päijänne, with 316 lakes and Isojärvi National Park inside its borders. Nearly all homes here have a sauna and none has a pool, so swimming means the lake. The downside is distance: Helsinki Airport is around two hours away by car.

About Kuhmoinen
Kuhmoinen covers about 937 square km, of which roughly 276 are water, and only about 2,000 people live here all year, around three per square km. The water is the point: Päijänne runs along the western edge and Vehkajärvi and Isojärvi are the next largest lakes. The population rises about fivefold in summer as summer residents arrive. Several free public beaches are listed, and the main one has a children's swimming area, a 25 metre swim zone and diving platforms. Homes here have saunas and mostly a fireplace, and many sleep eight or more, so groups are the norm. They are spread over a few kilometres, so check a home's map position if you want the village beaches close. Evenings are mostly spent at the house itself.
Is Kuhmoinen right for you?
- Best for

Getting to Kuhmoinen
Fly to Helsinki Airport, then drive: it is about 173 km and a little over two hours by road. Public transport means a train to Lahti and a bus, around three and a half hours in all, so a car is the practical choice here.
When to go to Kuhmoinen
The public beaches are recommended from May to September, and summer is when the municipality fills up as summer residents arrive. For the rest of the year it is very empty, with roughly three residents per square km, so book for the lakes and the sauna rather than for things to visit. Check what is open before an off-season trip.

Kuhmoinen villa holidays: questions answered
Are there public beaches in Kuhmoinen?
Yes. Five free public beaches are listed: Kirkonkylä, Kalholanniemi, Kokonniemi, Rekola and Tehin Hiekka, and each has changing cabins. The central one has a children's swimming area and diving platforms. May to September are the recommended months.
Is Kuhmoinen busy in summer?
It is busiest then, because the population rises about fivefold as summer residents arrive. Even so, the municipality has about three people per square km, so the lakes stay spacious. The rest of the year is very quiet.
Is Kuhmoinen still in Central Finland?
No. Kuhmoinen belonged to Central Finland until 2021 and now sits in Pirkanmaa, in the Tampere sub-region. Some listings still file it under the old region, so use the map position when planning a route.
Is there a national park near Kuhmoinen?
Yes. Isojärvi National Park lies on the south side of Lake Isojärvi, which is one of the largest lakes in the municipality after Päijänne and Vehkajärvi.
Do homes in Kuhmoinen have saunas?
Nearly all of them do, and most also have a fireplace. None has a pool, so swimming is in the lake. Many sleep eight or more, which suits groups.
