Cottage Holiday in Nuuksio – a peaceful lakeside retreat
Cottage Holiday in Nuuksio
A Finnish summer cottage means peace, lake views and unhurried togetherness and at Hawkhill, right by Nuuksio National Park, this experience is taken a little further.
Summer at Hawkhill is not made for schedules. It is made for slow hours and shared moments without rush.
The morning begins in silence. Coffee cup in hand, you walk barefoot down to the dock, and the lake is almost mirror-still.
No need to hurry anywhere. No need to fill the day with planned programmes.
Here, summer is allowed to arrive at its own pace.
A day that flows at its own rhythm
For many, the perfect summer day is, in the end, a very simple one. The sauna warms towards evening.
The rowing boat can be taken out at any time, out onto the calm pond, perhaps to see whether the fish are biting.
Forest paths start right at your door, and the berry grounds are at their best just when you don’t need to look far.
Sometimes you can simply be. Listen to the sounds of the forest, notice the wind moving through the trees, and let your thoughts slow down.
Time is left for what truly matters for being together, with family, friends and loved ones.
New for summer 2026
This coming summer we are bringing something new, but with the same thought behind it: ease without hurry. The villas come with everything that makes cabin life effortless and enjoyable: your own sauna, a rowing boat, quiet, and space all around.
For summer 2026 we have also developed a new food concept that brings local flavours straight to your holiday. You can order a ready-prepared meal package, delivered to your villa’s fridge and ready to enjoy.
The menus are built around Finnish classics and seasonal tastes – think salmon soup, blueberry pie and fresh cinnamon buns as part of the selection.
Order days are Thursday, Friday and Saturday.

The Rental and little extras for your stay
The Rental serves as usual this summer too.
You’ll find gear that makes being in nature a little easier or a little more fun:
- berry-picking tools
- aqua jogging belts
- yoga mats
- walking poles
- children’s life jackets
Take along as much or as little as you like or nothing at all.

A weekly programme, for when you want one
Sometimes it’s nice to join in, experience something together and try something new. That’s why we’ve built a weekly programme for the summer, together with other local entrepreneurs in the area.
The programme is bookable from Midsummer through to mid-August.
Included, for example:
- Pancake gatherings at the forest restaurant on Tuesdays
- Hammock relaxation at Hawkhill
- Guided forest excursions with different themes
See the weekly programme here.
Below, a few ideas for small day trips in the nearby area.
The Art Trail and the views
This summer our Art Trail is also being refreshed. A new ceramics exhibition brings out Finnish folk tradition and nature-linked beliefs, stories that have walked these forests before us.
Along the trail the landscape shifts, and at the top of Hawkhill a place to pause awaits. Hammocks, quiet, and open sky. The clouds drift slowly, and the summer breeze rocks gently.
In that moment, there is nothing that needs to be done.
A summer holiday that truly rests and restores
Here, summer is not a performance. It is not a list of things you need to get through. It is a space where you can slow down.
Come and experience Finnish nature and its finest moments easily and safely.
