Located in Finland, Scandinavia, just 45 minutes from Helsinki is Kotojarvi- a beautiful lake. My 100 year old estate sits on 6 Ha of land by the lake. We have two main houses and two aittas (wooden guestroom houses) and beach access to our own sauna where we grill sausages and light the bonfire. We have gardens, we have honeybees, we have chickens and its all surrounded by lush Finnish forest. Our neighbour is a golf course, but really there are no neighbours to be seen. During the days we do all kind of activities like forestry, gardening, taking care of the chickens, building, watering plants, general maintenance and so on. We have some projects for this summer like upgrading the wine cellar, organizing the garage etc. We also have to build some new homes for the bees in the shed. After a day experiencing the countryside and doing various projects, we heat the wood fire sauna. You can swim in the lake, take forest walks, enjoy the nature, read books in the hammock, the list goes on.

You will experience what all Finns experience during the summer: a countryside getaway. You will learn of Finnish traditions and culture. You might learn a thing or two about forestry, gardening, beekeeping (if you want to), general maintenance etc. You will experience the beautiful light of the night, the quietness, the sounds of the Finnish forest, the sauna and all that goes with that daily routine, the stillness of the lake, fishing, chilling, bonfire, goodnights sleep in the small "aittas" or cottages made from logs.
Forestry (making firewood from own forest), small building projects, planting the greenhouse and garden, gardening in general, taking care of the chickens, small projects like warehouse organising / building frames for bee hives / repairing different small things, organising and some cleaning to go along with the organising.
