Overview

Experience cottage life in the Finnish Archipelago guided by locals living there. Enjoy Finnish sauna, the peace and quiet of nature and learn about Finnish cottage culture first-hand.

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.

If you visit Finland without experiencing the cottage life, did you truly ever visit Finland?

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.

Together we combine our knowledge in the local Finnish cottage culture, the surrounding nature and the history of the Porkkala region. We are the friends you never knew you had in Finland, and we will take you on an adventure to the very core of Finnish culture.
