Neituri Forest Manor

Konnevesi - Lake District Area

Neituri Manor, which has recently been awarded Green Key certification, is a private estate in the Nordic style, nestled in Finland’s Central Lake District – a little-known region characterised by unspoilt lakes and vast forests. Surrounded by 22 hectares of private woodland, the property offers an exclusive retreat for up to 16 guests, designed for family get-togethers, leadership retreats, board meetings and fully bespoke stays.

The manor blends Finnish heritage with contemporary comfort, creating an environment where nature sets the pace. The spacious communal areas, floor-to-ceiling windows overlooking the lake, the large fireplace, the open-plan kitchen and the dedicated meeting spaces make the property ideal for relaxation as well as for socialising and focused work.

The estate comprises the main manor house, a dedicated sauna building, a lakeside pavilion, the traditional Laavu and the historic Taverna. Private footpaths connect the buildings to the forest and the lakeshore, allowing guests to experience nature directly from the property.

Every stay is tailored to the group’s needs and aspirations, combining wellness, culinary experiences, outdoor adventures and moments of tranquillity. In summer, you can paddle on the lake, go fishing, walk in the forest and enjoy the very long Nordic days; in winter, the snow-covered landscape provides the backdrop for husky safaris, snowmobile excursions, cross-country skiing and ice fishing, right through to evenings spent watching the Northern Lights.

At the heart of the experience is the Finnish sauna, an ancient ritual of wellbeing and connection with nature.

Upstairs Bedrooms

The four upstairs bedrooms are characterised by elegant Nordic architecture: eac ... h features a vaulted ceiling with a gabled roof, which lends the rooms a distinctive sense of shelter and tranquillity. In the centre of the room stands a double bed, whilst the private balcony offers unobstructed views of the lake – ideal for a leisurely breakfast in the morning or for watching the evening light reflect on the water. Each room has an en-suite bathroom with a rain shower and a private lock to ensure added peace of mind.

Ground-floor Rooms

The four ground-floor rooms feature lower, more linear ceilings, enhanced by han ... d-crafted solid timber beams that reflect the traditional craftsmanship of Nordic architecture. The beds can be configured as a single large double bed or kept separate, adapting to guests’ needs. The rooms open directly onto a private terrace overlooking the lake, bringing nature right to your doorstep. Each room has a private en-suite bathroom with a shower and its own lock. One of the four rooms is fully accessible, with spaces and a layout designed to facilitate movement without compromising on comfort or style.

Massage and Treatments

Guests can enjoy traditional massages and personalised wellness treatments in co ... mplete privacy. The sessions are designed to relieve tension and aid physical recovery, with a personalised approach tailored to individual needs. Treatments are carried out on the estate in a private and peaceful setting. The tranquillity of the forest and contact with nature create an ideal setting for working on breathing, mobility, balance, and body awareness. Activities to be arranged before arrival and not included in the stay.

Finnish Sauna and Lake Bathing

The sauna is at the heart of the daily ritual at Neituri. The dedicated building ... features an Iki sauna with large windows overlooking the lake, changing rooms and showers. After the sauna, guests can plunge into the lake directly from the private jetty, experiencing the contrast between the heat and the natural water. In winter, the ritual can become an experience on the frozen lake, whilst an outdoor hot tub offers a further moment of relaxation. An ancient Finnish ritual thus becomes an experience deeply connected to nature.

ACTIVITIES

Fishing on the Lake

The private lake offers the chance to enjoy fishing in a peaceful and unspoilt setting. Guests can f ... ish from the shore or explore the waters by boat, either accompanied by a guide or on their own. In winter, the frozen lake becomes the setting for one of the most authentic experiences of Finnish tradition. Guests can enjoy ice fishing, immersed in the silence of the snow-covered landscape. The experience can be accompanied by hot drinks and light refreshments and, where possible, the catch can be taken back to the manor to form part of the dining experience. Activities to be arranged before arrival and not included in the stay.

ACTIVITIES

Husky or Snowmobile Excursions

This activity is mainly carried out in winter, to ensure the animals’ welfare during the warmer mo ... nths. Husky safaris allow you to explore the forest trails on the estate and in the surrounding area accompanied by these extraordinary sled dogs. At the end of the safari, guests can meet the dogs and learn about the work of a musher. Alternatively, snowmobiling offers a more dynamic way to explore the Finnish winter landscape. Travelling along snow-covered trails, guests can reach areas of the forest and the surrounding countryside that are difficult to explore on foot. This type of activity is carried out with the dogs’ welfare in mind, with breaks taken throughout the day to ensure they do not become overly tired. Activities to be arranged before arrival and not included in the stay.

ACTIVITIES

Cross-country skiing and snowshoeing

The Neituri private forest offers a natural setting in which to explore the winter landscape on cros ... s-country skis or snowshoes. The trails start directly from the estate and wind through the snow-covered landscape, allowing guests to experience the tranquillity of the forest away from the crowds. The experience can be combined with a stop at the Laavu, where you can warm up by the fire and enjoy a hot drink. Activities to be arranged before arrival and not included in the stay.

ACTIVITIES

Kayaking and Rafting

During the warmer months, kayaking allows you to explore the lakes, setting off directly from the es ... tate. The calm waters and wooded landscape make this activity suitable for both those seeking a relaxing experience and those who want to spend more time on the water. For those seeking a more dynamic experience, guided rafting trips can be organised on the region’s waterways. The experience combines exercise, nature, and adventure. Activities to be arranged before arrival and not included in the stay.

ACTIVITIES

Forest Walks

The twenty-two hectares of private woodland invite you to explore at a leisurely pace, along paths t ... hat start directly from the estate. These walks allow you to observe nature and the changing seasons, whilst discovering the landscape surrounding the manor. Part of the estate is set aside as a protected habitat, whilst the FSC-certified forest is a central part of Neituri’s identity. Walks can be led by an expert guide and conclude at the Laavu, by the fire.

ACTIVITIES

Experiences with Horses

Guests can enjoy interacting with the horses through grooming, spending time with them and guided ri ... des in the countryside. Depending on their level of experience, guests can try their hand at grooming and getting to know the animals or take part in horse-riding excursions. In winter, sleigh rides can also be arranged. This activity complements the outdoor programme, offering a slower, more intimate way to experience the landscape. Activities to be arranged before arrival and not included in the stay.
