Huvikumpu has been our family’s much-loved place for over 15 years. A home for holidays, time together and objects that mean something to us.
A NOTE FROM MELLU
“To us, Huvikumpu is a little real-life Shangri-La — a place where the soul can rest and the rush of everyday life stays outside for a while.”
A quiet moment on our own pond.

Now we get to share this place with our guests. We hope you’ll find moments here that matter to your own group — and feel truly welcome.
A MOMENT AT HUVIKUMPU
Every object has a story.
Exclusively for your own group.
HUVIKUMPU & PEPPI
A little coincidence. A lovely connection.
Huvikumpu is the Finnish name for Pippi Longstocking’s home, Villa Villekulla. Melina fell for her own Huvikumpu before she met Petri — whose childhood nickname happens to be Peppi.
And so Huvikumpu found its very own Peppi. For us, it’s just the right amount of storybook magic in a very real place.
A HOUSE WITH MEMORIES
There is always something to notice.
01
Logs and fire
The largest kelo logs measure around 180 cm in circumference. The hand-built granite fireplace took four and a half months to complete. Some things are best appreciated in person.
02
Manserock
The walls display portraits from Harri Hinkka’s Kasvot collection: Dave Lindholm, Juice Leskinen, Pate Mustajärvi and Heikki Silvennoinen. They are part of the house’s own story and Tampere’s musical heritage.
03
Shared victories
Melina’s work as a mental coach with sports teams has a place at Huvikumpu, too. A signed Tappara jersey and memories of Ässät recall people and moments that stayed with her.
Perhaps the setting looks familiar.
Huvikumpu has been a filming location for Kyllä isä osaa Lapissa and the Vares series. To us, though, its most important stories are made by the people who come here to spend time together.
The four large exhibition prints by Harri Hinkka come from the 1998 Kasvot exhibition at Tampere Hall. Melina received them as a personal gift from the photographer in 1999. The portraits of Dave Lindholm, Juice Leskinen, Pate Mustajärvi and Heikki Silvennoinen are part of this home’s own history.
