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 Unikko (poppy), created by Maija Isola in 1964, is an international print design icon. Marimekko's founder, Armi Ratia, initially excluded floral prints, believing real flowers couldn't be captured in print. Isola designed Unikko as an abstract flower. Today, Unikko symbolises joy and creativity, integral to Marimekko's design.

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
If you wish to bring your pet with you, please see our two other pet-friendly houses at ÖÖD in Versso, which are: Räsymatto and Tiiliskivi. These houses are also very beautiful and come with beachfront views and private sauna.
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!
Due to high seasonality check working hours beforehand.
It was wonderful!! Would have been even more wonderful without mosquitos but I guess that is not possible :D
Hienot puitteet, hieno, laadukas huone, kivat näkymät sekä huoneesta että saunasta. Muutama pikkujuttu mikä voisi parantaa kokemuksen entisestään: Normaali kahvinkeitin (suodatinkahvinkeitin), pelkästään aamukahvikupin täyttämiseen men neljä kapselia. Käsisaippua kylpyhuoneeseen käsienpesua varten. Peili kylpyhuoneeseen meikkaamista varten. Juustohöylä ja leipäveitsi olisi kiva. Pieni pöytä tai taso sängyn viereen mihin voi laittaa esim. vesilasin tai silmälasit. Vähemmän lämpöä - lattialämmitys oli todella mukava mutta mökki oli aika lämmin, joten hiukan vähemmän lämpöä voisi olla. Todella kiva, että saunan kiuas oli täytetty, eikä tarvinnut muuta kuin sytyttää. :) Puita voisi kuitenkin olla puolet vähemmän koska sauna lämpeni 100 asteeseen, mikä oli meille vähän liian kuuma. 60-70 astetta riittää hyvin :) Nämä siis pieniä mutta helposti järjestettäviä yksityiskohtia mutta kaiken kaikkiaan hieno kokemus!
