About this cottage rental

Inside Finlandia, you'll be greeted by an open living area complete with a flat-screen Smart TV and seating for the whole crew.

Even better? Take advantage the beautiful Hatteras Island weather and dine on the large private sundeck at the picnic table! At Finlandia, each bedroom is perfect for you to relax and unwind after a fun-filled day on the Outer Banks. Additional amenities at Finlandia include an electric Weber grill, outdoor shower, fish cleaning table, Nest thermostat, and high-speed WiFi provided by Silicon Travel with concierge service.

A little history:

All beams for the home were manufactured in Kokkola, Finland by a company named Bothniahouse. Bothniahouse was known for building log homes, still popular to this day in Finland. The logs made their way to the US and Finlandia was built on site in Avon. It reportedly may be the only home on the island like it.

While the home has been updated, some of the original features and details remain. All inside walls and ceilings are the original wood beams, In the back bedroom, you will even see the back of a stone fireplace that was at one time a centerpiece of the home. The laundry room was at one time a sauna room. If you look closely outside the home above the main door area, you will still see an exposed beam that has the original stamp from Kokkola, Finland and Bothniahouse.

We hope you enjoyed reading about this little piece of history here on Hatteras Island.

Property was very clean, stocked with all the essentials and gave you the beach vibe. Short walk to a big, uncrowded beach. Would definitely recommend if looking for a place on the south side of OBX.

This little cottage was perfect for our family and our sweet dog Millie. The homeowner was very quick to respond and was kind enough to check in during our stay via text. The cottage was very clean. We really enjoyed our stay!

We had an amazing time at Finlandia. Communication with the owner was great. The house is well appointed, clean and quite nice. The beds were comfortable, as was the entire property. Nice big deck for stargazing. The new electric griddle outside was very nice as well. It’s a short walk to a nice beach access with just a short walk over the dunes. Convenient to shops, restaurants and ice cream! We highly recommend Sunrise seafood market and Gidget’s pizza, as well as the Haulover day use area just south of town for a great sunset. We will definitely look to stay here again in the near future. Thank you for sharing Findlandia with us!

Our family of 4 stayed at Ken's place and we loved everything about it. The cottage is completely updated, 5 min walk to the beach, it was very clean and equipped with everything we needed. 100% recommended. Will likely come back to this place in the future. Thanks for sharing Finlandia with us :-)
