Time together, unhurried moments and meaningful experiences in the middle of everyday life.
This weekend has been carefully designed for four women — to bring you joy, connection and moments you’ll remember for a long time. You’ll enjoy local flavors, explore small boutiques and hear the story of this historic merchant house and the women who have lived here. A weekend for friendship and togetherness. – Piia

A small surprise for each guest
I will welcome you personally and guide you into the weekend.
On Friday evening, you will have the opportunity to explore the history of this merchant house on a guided house tour, including access to the private living spaces of the women who have lived here. If you are interested in history, self-sufficiency and preparedness, you might be in for a surprise…
If you visit during the snow-free season, you can also explore Grandma’s kitchen garden, which is full of berry bushes, fruit trees and herbs.
We will finish the house tour with a “Women’s Power Tea” herbal moment in my own kitchen. At the same time, I will tell you about the events of the season and what else Mäntyharju has to offer.
After this, you can enjoy a tasting platter with drinks (which is enough for dinner) and spend a private evening of your own. It doesn’t matter if you arrive at different times, as I will be present in the house throughout the evening.
There will be a touch of surprise as well, as I have prepared something that will surely lead you into interesting conversations during the evening.
A slow and relaxed morning with breakfast ready in the apartment.
During the day, you can either explore charming local boutiques, cafés and restaurants, or choose a nature or activity-based experience.
I will tell you all possible options when you arrive on Friday evening.
At the end of the day, each of you can choose either a 45-minute massage or try a 60-minute energy treatment. The energy treatment is a gentle form of care that balances the body and mind’s energy system, relieves stress, and supports overall well-being.
While waiting, you can enjoy a wild herb foot bath, create your vision board or paint with oils.
The evening is crowned with a wood-heated sauna with excellent steam, which I will prepare ready for you. From the sauna, you can step out to cool off.
A relaxed departure day...
Take a walk in the historic wooden house area, enjoy a quiet morning in the apartment, or head out for a nature excursion.
You can also enjoy a campfire at our outdoor fire pit, or take a ready-made campfire kit with you and head out for a day trip to one of our nearby nature destinations.
You can truly enjoy the whole Sunday, as you are entitled to use our late checkout which is until 6 pm.
If travelling south, you can visit Repovesi National Park. To the north, the scenic Neitvuori area is worth exploring. Pohjoisen suunnassa on kaunis Neitvuoren alue.
In summer, Sunday is also a great day to visit Art Centre Salmela, one of our local museums, or the Ryönänhovi Garden, which has an interesting history.
You can also book a private guided forest experience with lakeside views, for which it’s worth reserving about 2.5 hours.
I will tell you all possible options when you arrive on Friday evening.

This weekend is yours—for laughter, conversations and shared moments.
Time to slow down... without rush or everyday responsibilities, you can truly relax and enjoy being together. Treatments, herbal tea and nature-based elements help you unwind and reconnect.
Unelma’s tasting platter is a lovely way to start the weekend and catch up in a relaxed atmosphere. We deliver the dinner items ready to the apartment, so you can also enjoy them later, even in the morning if you prefer. The platter includes a selection of crackers, hard and soft cheeses, prosciutto, fruits, pickles, olives, grapes, and a gentle non-alcoholic white wine. I have also prepared a small surprise to go with the dinner, which will surely lead you into interesting conversations.
It’s important to pause from time to time and listen to yourself – your own needs and wishes. With the help of a vision board, you tune into your intuition and visualize your goals, dreams and desires. For those used to constant doing, it may require a bit of letting go, but by trusting your intuition, the result can surprise even the most skeptical high achiever. We only have this one life, and how we choose to live it depends, to a great extent, on us.
You can extend your stay or replace activities (for example with a guided nature trip).
An official local guide can take you to hidden places not easily found by others—on a ready-made excursion or a customised nature adventure just for you.
Through us you can rent a variety of outdoor equipment, including electric mountain bikes, kayaks and snowshoes with poles. In the house we have normal bicycles for you.
You will also receive hiking tips from your host Piia, an official local guide of Mäntyharju, to help you enjoy successful trips. You can of course explore the nature destinations at your own pace, just with your group, without any outsiders.
Mäntyharju is a unique destination with interesting places to visit all year round. As a local guide, I can help you find the very best spots.
