What to expect

Join us for a traditional Finnish evening at our lakeside home. We look forward to hosting you! We will pick you up in one of our eco-friendly classic cars for a 40-minute drive through the countryside to your home.

Your experience begins with age-old ritual of preparing the wood-heated sauna. While the sauna heats up, we will prepare a three-course dinner together. You can learn some local culinary tips as we cook the menu you've selected in advance (Sauteéd Reindeer, Smoked Salmon, or vegan 'Meatless Meatballs' - lactose and gluten free available).

After dinner, we provide towels and bathrobes, and you can change into your swimsuits in a private dressing room. And then it's time for the refreshing sauna and swim in the lake. This simple and relaxing tradition is core to our culture, and our happiness.

Once the evening is over, a pre-arranged taxi will drive you back to your accommodation.

As this is our private home, the atmosphere is authentic and relaxed - a unique experience you won't find in a hotel. You only need to bring your swimsuit, we provide the rest, so you can focus on being our guest and enjoying your Happy Finland Experience. See you soon!
