The lake through the pines, the year-round Finnish nature around Neituri Manor

Seasons

Which season is the real Neituri?

Neituri Manor is open all year, and each season changes the house completely. The light, the lake, the food and the rhythm of the days. Spring brings the melt and migrating birds, summer the white nights, autumn the colour and the harvest, winter the deepest quiet of all.

Spring

The ice goes out, the birds return and the forest turns green almost overnight. Days lengthen by the hour and the first evenings are spent on the terrace again.

Summer

The white nights: swimming at midnight, long dinners outdoors, boating to empty islands. The lake is warm and the days barely end.

Autumn

The ruska, the turning of the leaves, sets the shorelines alight. Mushrooms and berries fill the kitchen, and the sauna steams against the first cold evenings.

Winter

Deep snow, candlelight and the northern sky. Skiing on the frozen lake, the ice hole by the sauna, and the quietest nights you will ever sleep through.
