Our 3 packages guarantee an unforgettable experience whether you are seeking for a quiet get-away from city life, competing in traditional Finnish cottage games with your friends or looking for an adrenaline rush and bragging rights among your friends.

We think not. That's why we - Henrik and Tristan - 2 local guys from Finland, invite you to Henrik's family cottage to show you around and let you live like a local for a day.
