Our location

Our guesthouse has four recently renovated rooms, from which you can choose the most suitable one for your travel group. You can park your car in the yard, where you can also find space for relaxing, reading, or simply enjoy the silence of the forest.

We are located between Koli village and the hill tops which is named as one of Finland's national sceneries. It takes about half an hour to walk to the village, and a bit longer to reach the Nature Center at the top of the hill. Ski trails and national park paths run close by, so it's easy to leave for a day's adventure on foot, skis or by bicycle.

In the downstairs Rahko room well-behaved pets are welcome. There is also an outdoor dog enclosure with a doghouse in the yard.

Trips and outdoor-life

We believe that it's always a good weather for outdoor activities. Sometimes it just needs a bit more imagination, planning, or determination. Of course, having the right gear helps too.

We are happy to share tips on how to enjoy outdoor activities in crisp cold, deep snow, or rainy weather. Nature always has it's own ways of providing memorable moments.
