Boat & Bikes
9.7.2018
Many of you have inquiried for a boat to rent during your stay at Lillan. Now you can!
At the end of the Strandvägen, in the beginning of Gropshagsvägen, you’ll find this sweet little boat to go explore the nearby archipelago. Ask for keys preferably before you start your stay at Lillan ☀️
These excellent bikes can be found by Ruukin Sauna. They belong to Carfield chain so you can rent the bikes from one station and leave them to another. Handy, don’t you think? Also available in children sizes!
Wonderful way to explore Kimito Islands. Did you know you can take a bike to a ferry here for free?
And as you have a bike renting time, don’t miss Ruukin sauna, it’s wonderful food, sauna or ice cream that is so delicious words are not enough ❤ Or taste the great coffees Kyösti serves you. My favourite is Latte Macchiato, how about yours?
Ps. If you want to take your toddlers to a bike ride, you can! Just contact Ville Laitinen / NaturEffect and he’ll rent you this convertible 🙂 Or book directly from here.

Lillan goes Asia
27.9.2017
Greetings to all my dear Asian friends and Lillaneers want-to-becomes!
I want to make myself easily approachable. So, finding new and adjusting old channels to reach you and to be reached.
For Chinese: I know Weibo is the thing for you! But, unfortunately, I cannot make an account there because I only have Finnish phone number. So, instead, I made the second best option: WeChat. My ID there is LillanHousing. Welcome to message me anytime! But please remember, I cannot kanji. Except for these:
#旅行
#旅游
🙂 Hope to hear from you soon!
And to my dear Japanese friends: I learned you like system called co-Trip. So, tripping and tip-tapping myself through your hiragana and katagana, here I am!
Please come, follow and like #LillanHousing in co-Trip! Hope to hear from you soon, 友達 さま! ❤
What I heard was that Koreans love to read information of places worth visiting from blogs. So, Lillan already has a blog in English. Hope to hear from you soon! And for you to find it and to know you are most welcome here, a hashtag specially for you:
#여행
And for my dear Taiwanese: I learned you like to search info and look things especially from Instagram. So, now, finally Lillan has its own Instagram account ❤

There is so much to see and to do at Lillan and its close-by areas. I want to reward you who understand the value of this and want to invest their time for the real luxury – for a leisure time. Or for a work in amazingly inspiring surroundings.
Hence, updated the Official & Fees page as follows:
Book for a week, get 7. day free, so you’ll pay only for 6 nights.
Book for two weeks, get 13. & 14. day free. You’ll pay only for 12 nights.
Year 2018 will open for bookings at 2nd of October 2017.
For this year, there are still available days in September, October and November, even December. And due to one guest family’s changed plans Christmas is open for bookings. Who will be the lucky one catching that first?
You can book your stay by email, phone (+358505164543) or the form at Lillan Bookings page. Just tell your name, period of stay and any other wishes you might think.
I want to remind you for the beautiful, amazing nature and light at this time of the year. In addition to all the basic services running smoothly at Dalsbruk, there is a special sense of calm and peace as the Mother Nature itself snuggles for winter.
All the pictures in this post are taken at November. From September to October autumn foliage is amazing. For November, the magical light surrounds everything. And by December there is often already a thin snow cover.
And Lillan, of course, is warm and cozy all year round. As the days get shorter, the hygge of Lillan just amplifies.
