ArchitectureFather Teuvo's creed is: log cabins made of dead wood trunks last the longest. And from the first hut in Hawkhill, it was always a matter of harmoniously integrating the buildings into the surrounding nature. The third generation now combines over 200 year old Finnish construction techniques with modern furnishings and sustainable solutions such as centrally controlled energy saving management, geothermal heating and solar panels. Materials are still wood and natural stone and now as little as possible cement, plastic and glue. As far as possible, the materials are made in Finland or here. Some of the furnishings are second hand or made from wood scraps. Longevity and a good ecological balance have been ensured for all household appliances.

FoodDepending on what is growing, guests can book an accompanied walk to pick mushrooms, berries or wild herbs and salads. These ingredients can then be prepared in your own kitchen. If you book half or full board, you get creatively modified dishes from traditional Finnish cuisine, preferably served from organic, seasonal and regional products. Much vegetable, fresh fish from the lake, venison and berries, mushrooms and wild herbs from the surrounding forest are prepared.

EnvironmentGrandfather Eino was a risk-taker when he put his first holiday home from distant Helsinki on the lake. He even had to build a road there first. His descendants want to be pioneers in sustainable tourism in Finland. With their business concept, they want to work as environmentally friendly as possible and against the climate crisis. That is why, for example, heating and power generation in Hawkhill are CO2-free. There are water saving measures and biodegradable cleaning agents. In order to even become CO2-negative, the operators are in the process of renaturing their peat bog areas and reforesting cleared fields. The company is certified with the Green Key Eco Label. As pioneers, the operators are active in educating about sustainable opportunities. They speak on the topic in radio broadcasts, discussions and lectures, train their employees accordingly and share their experience with their partners and also their competitors. And their guests are also informed in detail about how their actions also affect the environment on a small scale.

Well-BeingEach cottage has its own sauna. In winter you can dive directly into the icy lake to cool off. The strongest healer nature and the slow living, which will appear among the guests, have the strongest effect here. Yoga or meditation classes can be booked on request.
