Beachfront ÖÖD mirror house + sauna
Each private ÖÖD house is thoughtfully equipped with all modern conveniences, including a private sauna, a cozy double bed, a kitchenette, a living area, and a bathroom with a shower — all with stunning views! The only intentionally excluded modern amenity is Wi-Fi, allowing you to fully immerse in the experience and enjoy complete peace of mind. When you arrive, make sure to use the digital detox box provided in your house to free yourself from the digital noise and really disconnect.
Unique interior design by Marimekko
At Versso we have four distinct houses, each is designed with a unique Marimekko pattern, specially curated for ÖÖD. This house has the name Tiiliskivi, which means brick. This pattern was designed by Marimekko’s founder Armi Ratia in 1952. The pattern reflects her belief in the simple beauty of everyday life. The moment you step inside, you'll be enveloped by your surroundings, seamlessly merging with them while cocooned in comfort.
Activities
The location along the bay is perfect for swimming, paddleboarding, kayaking, and even fishing. Explore scenic hiking trails in undisturbed nature and savour the beauty of the picturesque Finnish coastline. Daydream on the serene beach, cook up a delicious BBQ on your patio and feel the relaxation that comes from enjoying a proper wood-fired sauna.
Explore the charm and adventure of Finland's East Coast
Visitors to Versso Island can enjoy a blend of nature and history, exploring charming towns like Kotka, Hamina, and Loviisa, renowned for their parks, historical sites, and wooden architecture. In Pyhtää, immerse yourself in the beauty of the sea and mesmerising archipelago, embark on kayaking adventures along the scenic Kymi River, or wander through marshlands on duckboards. Explore the enchanting Stockfors village, vibrant with a summer art fair, marvel at the medieval wall paintings in Pyhtää Church, and thrill-seek at the Aeronautica Arena. More information here.
Getting there and free parking
Versso Island offers the charm and seclusion of an island getaway, yet it is conveniently connected to the mainland, providing easy access for travellers. Reaching ÖÖD at Versso Island is convenient, whether by road, just an hour's drive from Helsinki, or by private boat. Additionally, private plane or helicopter access is available from Helsinki East Aerodrome, located less than 15 minutes away.
We have free dedicated parking area for guests near the houses next to our service building. It's approximately 2 minute walk to the mirror houses from the parking lot. Each house has dedicated buggies that you can use to easily take bags to your house.
For accessibility, cars can be driven next to the houses, however they cannot be parked there and must be taken back to the dedicated parking area after loading.
Pets are welcome
At ÖÖD in Versso, we offer two pet-friendly accommodations - Räsymatto and Tiiliskivi. We know that pets are family too! At our forest getaway, your furry friends are more than welcome to join you. Enjoy peaceful walks in the woods and let your pets explore the natural beauty of the area. We kindly ask that you ensure your pets are well-behaved and supervised during your stay to keep our retreat enjoyable for all guests. We can't wait to welcome you and your four-legged companions!
Birds and birdwatching
Our goal has always been to blend into nature without hurting it. ÖÖD houses are often surrounded by nature and in peaceful wild areas where there are birds and other smaller wildlife. At Versso, we have even spotted grey herons at times.
Birds often can't recognise windows or mirrors and therefore might hurt themselves. To prevent that, we use UV film stickers on all of our ÖÖD houses - on all of the glass panels. These stickers reflect ultraviolet light, which birds can see but humans can’t. When light reflects, birds understand that there is an object on their way and they'll change direction. We challenge you to try and find them, as they're almost invisible for human eye!
