Lokinpesä

Welcome to Lokinpesä, a charming coastal cottage nestled within the picturesque Kymenlaakso region of Finland. Just a short 15-minute boat ride from our scenic Vimpasaari archipelago estate, this beautifully restored log cabin harks back to the 1800s. Situated on Rakinkotka Island—often referred to as the Viking Island—Lokinpesä offers guests a unique opportunity to disconnect from the bustle of daily life and immerse themselves in the tranquil beauty of nature.

The cabin features two cozy rooms, perfect for families or couples seeking a romantic escape, comfortably accommodating up to four guests. With its own sun-drenched terrace and a quaint kitchen nook, you can unwind with your morning coffee while taking in soothing views of the sea. The inviting warmth of a wood-burning stove in one room and a charming fireplace in the other ensures you can relax in comfort during your stay. Fishing enthusiasts will delight in the complimentary rowboat included with your rental, allowing for easy access to the rich waters that surround the island, abundant with various fish just waiting to be caught.

Set upon Rakinkotka’s stunning natural landscape, the cottage is an ideal base for both leisure and adventure. The island boasts a wealth of activities year-round, including fishing, hiking, biking, and foraging—whether it’s berries in the summer or mushrooms in the fall. During winter, you can enjoy skiing and ice fishing. Experience the island’s history through engaging Viking-themed activities, from hiking ancient trails to friendly competitions on the unique forest golf course. The local scenery is breathtaking, especially during the spring and fall when migratory birds flock overhead.

Sustainably designed, Rakinkotka operates with an ecological mindset, utilizing solar and wind energy throughout the island. The buildings reflect a commitment to preserving the area’s heritage and natural beauty, with many structures constructed from materials sourced locally, including storm-fallen trees. Enjoy meals crafted from fresh ingredients harvested right from the islands, with options ranging from foraged finds to organic produce from local farms. The summer brings friendly sheep and dedicated hens, producing delicious free-range eggs for your breakfast table.

After a day of exploration, retreat to the rustic charm of the peaceful surroundings. A traditional wood-heated sauna accommodates up to ten guests, while the larger smoke sauna allows for double that enjoyment. Relax in the outdoor hot tub, surrounded by stunning panoramic views of the sea and, on clear nights, the stars above, creating a truly magical experience. Take a refreshing dip in the natural seawater or lounge on the terrace to soak in the serene ambiance.

Ideal for those seeking solitude or quality time with friends, Lokinpesä and the enchanting Rakinkotka Island promise unforgettable memories steeped in natural beauty and rich history. With options for nature excursions, fishing trips, and boating adventures in the surrounding waters, your perfect getaway awaits at this idyllic Finnish hideaway.
