Mie en tee mittää – The Art of Doing Nothing

Slow down, switch off and experience winter the Finnish way.

Welcome to the House of a Thousand Tales, a family-run farmhouse in the peaceful village of Kannuskoski. Designed for small groups, this laid-back holiday invites you to experience the simple pleasures of Finnish countryside life: fresh air, home-cooked food, peaceful nature and, of course, a genuine Finnish sauna.

And the best part? There’s no need to fill your holiday with plans. Sleep in, curl up with a book, spend time with the farm animals, enjoy the snowy scenery or simply do nothing at all.

If you do feel like heading outdoors, winter adventures start right from the farmhouse. Follow the traditional cross-country ski trail, borrow snowshoes or sledges, try ice fishing or enjoy a peaceful moment by the campfire. The programme is yours to decide – activities are there when you want them, but there’s absolutely no pressure to do anything.

Your stay includes accommodation in a double or family room, bed linen and towels, breakfast, lunch and dinner, as well as a Finnish sauna experience. A fully equipped kitchen and barbecue area are also available for guests.

For those who want to explore a little further, Kouvola, Lappeenranta, Kotka and Hamina are all less than an hour away, and Repovesi National Park makes a great day trip.

Come to Finnish Lakeland. Slow down, breathe deeply and discover the Finnish art of doing nothing.
