Company information

I love travelling and meeting new people. So, why not meet interesting people from cool places when at home? That's why I decided to try hosting, and I like it. In my travels private home stays are a great way to learn about the local people and culture. While travelling in Hawai`i I met my husband Doug. We moved to Helsinki and later to Taivassalo, in the Finnish countryside. Now we welcome our guests here in the picturesque archipelago circle. We like to give our guests as much privacy as possible. We are a text message or phone call away and we may also see each other in the yard or shared areas. Jenni is a Superhost Superhosts are experienced, highly rated hosts who are committed to providing great stays for guests.

The guest wing has cozy, private bed rooms on the first and second floors. These private rooms share an entrance, toilet, shower, kitchenette, laundry facilities and sitting area. The extraordinary outdoor sauna has plenty of cool and hot water heated by wood stove. If you have a larger group, upstairs is a bright spacious room that comfortably fits 4 people, and has a gorgeous view over fields and forest. There is a third private room, the blue room, in the main house that shares some common areas with us, the hosts, and Nala, our dog. Nala is a 5 year old Australian Shepherd and loves to play fetch. There is a shared entrance, private full bath room including shower, and a sitting area with refrigerator, microwave, coffee machine, and tea kettle.
