Häme
Summer in Häme invites you to unwind and connect with nature. As night draws in the long, light-filled days give way to peace and quiet that falls over the forest like a soft veil. The lakes lie still, the birds sing, and the morning dew feels cool against your feet. Here, nature is more than just a landscape; it’s part of the experience – whether you’re in a floating summer cabin, a tent suspended among the trees, or curled up in a warm blanket in a lean-to shelter.
The Häme region offers numerous opportunities to experience a night surrounded by nature in a completely new, special way. Whether you’re seeking peace or craving a wilder adventure, the accommodation options are crafted to create unforgettable memories – all while respecting the natural surroundings.
Relax in a floating cabin where modern comfort meets the soothing sounds of the river
Floating river cabins in Turenki offer a unique experience: spending the night floating on water, without compromising on comfort. The floating cabins have a private terrace with a peaceful view of the Hiidenjoki riverscape. The cabins let in plenty of natural light and feature a modern design. A double bed in the loft, a sofa bed, kitchen facilities, a bathroom with shower, and free Wi-Fi provide the perfect setting for a relaxing stay – or even remote work.
“Guests often tell us they feel they can finally truly relax and unwind here. According to feedback from guests, the floating cabins are great not only for a comfortable stay and restful sleep, but also for yoga and remote work,” says entrepreneur Anu Kurppa.
The quiet trickle of the water, the birdsong, and the scents of nature awaken your senses in a whole new way. Sitting on the terrace in the evening sun, admiring the river view, you can truly experience unhurried tranquillity at its finest.
The floating cabins are fully equipped, and bed linen, towels, and eco-friendly detergents are included. Bicycles are freely available, and nearby you’ll find the Ahilammi beach, the Laurinmäki cultural site, historic mansions, and a berry-picking spot. The floating cabins share a courtyard with a terrace restaurant, and cosy local cafés are just a short walk away. “Though small, the municipality offers a comprehensive range of idyllic services to make your stay effortless. This isn’t just a place to stay, it’s an experience to remember,” explains Kurppa.
“Special occasions like weddings and anniversaries are particularly good for drawing in guests, because the place offers something special that you won’t find anywhere else. Many others come just for a holiday and enjoy the authentic, cosy atmosphere.”
Glamping and tree tents invite you to connect with nature
The Metsä-Nummela farm offers a unique overnight experience immersed in the deep peace and quiet of nature.
Fancy a night in a tent suspended from the trees? The Spider Tree Tent is a tent suspended between tree trunks at a height of around 1.5 metres, with a mesh floor that provides direct views of the surrounding forest. Below the tent, you’ll find a wooden seating area protected from the elements. Sleeping pads, a sauna tent, rechargeable lighting, and breakfast are all included – and ready for you on arrival.
A glamping tent, on the other hand, combines the closeness of nature with hotel-level comfort. The heated tent features a soft double bed, a wood-fired barrel sauna, and a cosy summer kitchen – all the basic comforts surrounded by nature.
Glamping offers a low-threshold way to enjoy nature, and is the perfect choice if traditional camping isn’t for you, or you prefer a higher level of comfort. It is also ideal for small families looking for relaxed and comfortable quality time together in nature. Glamping is an experience that creates lasting memories.
A night in a lean-to offers luxurious simplicity in the middle of the forest
The Going Nowhere Resort in Loppi offers forest accommodation at its finest. This eco-luxe destination offers a covered lean-to with pre-made beds, warm bedding, and atmospheric lighting. The interior has a rustic feel, and details such as hammocks are designed to add to the cosiness.
The courtyard has a fireplace, barbecue equipment, and an equipped outdoor kitchen. Just a short walk away, you’ll find a sauna tent and shower that are freely available during your stay. Toiletries, towels, and breakfast are included. This is the perfect option for those who want the peace and quiet of nature without having to pack camping gear. All you need to bring is comfortable, weather-appropriate clothing.
Relax in a sauna on a private lake
Jalo is a unique sauna boat floating on one of Häme’s most private and serene lakes. The lake’s shores are largely untouched and the water quality is excellent, perfect for swimming, kayaking, or just enjoying the peace and quiet. The surrounding nature also offers opportunities for hiking and berry-picking.
Spend a day or night on the boat in complete privacy, relax in the wood-fired sauna, go for a swim, and sit on the covered roof terrace admiring the scenery. The island around the boat is an essential part of the overall experience. Featuring a firepit, hammock, and a lakeside deck, the island is an ideal retreat for anyone seeking peace and quiet in the heart of nature.
The sauna boat combines Nordic minimalism with comfort: there’s a fully equipped kitchen with seating for up to 12 people, a barbecue, SUP boards, and even the option to arrange meals or cooking events with a curated menu.
The sauna boat is ideal for relaxed enjoyment or for celebrating special occasions in a unique setting.
