Experience Finnish summer lifestyle with a day in a Finnish Traditional cottage. Find yourself in a cozy escape into nature. Experience the tranquil silence of the forest, and the still lake water, take your afternoon tea, and a can of beer during sauna time, and breathe in the fresh, pine-scented air. Take a leisurely stroll by the lake, or try your luck at fishing. Enjoy a hearty lunch cooked over an open fire, and spend the afternoon reading your favorite book or taking a relaxing sauna. As the sun sets, gather around the fire pit for some grilled sausages and sweet marshmallows, and share stories under the starry sky. A day in a Finnish Mökki is all about unwinding, connecting with nature, and creating unforgettable memories.

What is a Mökki?

A Finnish mökki is a traditional summer cottage located in the countryside, usually by a lake or the sea. These cozy retreats offer Finns a place to relax, unwind, and reconnect with nature. Mökkis are often used for family vacations, fishing trips, and saunas, providing a peaceful escape from city life. Many mökkis are equipped with modern amenities, but some are more rustic for a true back-to-nature experience. The mökki culture is deeply ingrained in Finnish lifestyle, representing a cherished tradition of simplicity, tranquility, and outdoor living.

Welcome to our Finnish mökki where we spend time away from the crowd.

If you are someone wanting to try something new and extraordinary in your life, or you wish to find yourself in the middle of nowhere and immerse yourself with nature, you can consider this as an opportunity to commune with nature in a 3,1 hectare land area full of pine tree, oak, alder and birch trees, while blueberries, lingon berries, some wild and edible mushrooms blooms in the ground area , a beautiful sunrise and sunset awaits by the lake and relaxing sound of the birds and wild animals can be heard day or night.
