I have always been fascinated with boats and the possibility of living in a floating home. In 2018, I decided to create a small version of a floating home. Thanks to the positive attitude and helpfulness of the city of Porvoo, a suitable place for the floating cabins was found on the Porvoo river.

I began to plan the floating cabins during January of 2019. My goal was to have the first floating cabin built and ready in May, but building project budgets and timetables tend to stretch. This was also the case with the floating cabin project. After a few tough months of building, I finally had the pleasure of opening the first floating cabin for rent. I had a few interesting name versions for the cabin but I decided to name it after my daughter Alma.

The second cabin, floating river cabin Wilhelmina was opened in June 2020.

I hope there are more people out there in the world who enjoy floating homes.

You are welcome to come and visit and stay at the floating cabins Alma and Wilhelmina!
