The cabin is gorgeous and has a fun layout. The kitchen was very well equipped. Timo was an amazing host - he called as soon as I made our last-minute booking to confirm everything and to see if I needed anything. The cabin is in a stunning location, and we took many walks with our dog in the woods. The hot tub is permanently on, which was such a treat, and the sauna and plunge pool were an amazing experience on our -1 New Years Eve!

We had a super summer bank holiday weekend at the lodge, it was a great for three families (11 people in total) to get together and have some fun at Moors Valley and even more relaxation in the hot tub!!!We walked both days to Moors Valley, via the back gate and forest, about 40 minutes, depending on how fast you walk, to the activity centre and Go Ape, and there was so much to do, we ran out of time over the weekend.The lodge itself was a great base, with all the amenities you would need and the hosts were very helpful, we could even get an Uber eats delivery when we ran out of Sausages for the BBQ!It provides super facilities and great location for an ‘outdoor’ weekend with family or friends.

Easter Break

The Lodge is lovely, all the ground floor is brand new, showers are great. There were 10 if us and all fitted in perfectly. There are some steep stairs on 2 of the rooms but great for teens. You can walk straight out into the woods from the garden.It was super clean and communication with the owners were very responsive. We would definitely recommend and would definitely stay here again. Thank you Timo.

Relaxing mini break

The setting is beautiful, the lodge is surrounded by trees and a spacious garden. We (two adults, a toddler and a baby) stayed for four days and enjoyed staying at the lodge as much as exploring the local area. The hot tub was a great option and was used daily. The kitchen was well equipped and there were plenty of towels provided. Timo met us on arrival and made himself available if needed, however we were left alone to explore and enjoy the peaceful setting which I really appreciated. It suited us very well and we would happily return in the future.

Holiday review from viipuri log cabin

Had an amazing time at the viipuri log cabin. Check in was at 4pm however got a message from Luigi saying we can come earlier as it was ready for us. Luigi was very nice and friendly and couldn’t of been more helpful. The log cabin it’s self was lovely, everything you needed in there and the internet was a good speed and easy to connect to. Also the hot tub was fantastic and Luigi cleaned it every morning. The snooker table was also brilliant. Log cabin was secluded and rite next to the forest walk which was very nice first thing in the morning. Close to local shops and a short drive to Bournemouth. Highly recommend and will be coming back next year. Thanks for a great time.

A perfect log cabin in lovely surroundings!

We were met by Luigi who runs all of the cabins on the site. He could not have done enough to make us more welcome. Everything was clean and tidy. Perfect setting for our little dog who could go out of the door and through a gate straight into the woods. All utensils, crockery and linens were available plus any cleaning products etc. Plenty of seating inside and out plus bbq and hot tub. The hot tub was a massive bonus at our property; totally private and secluded, looking out into the forest. I hope to be returning. Thank you Luigi! 😃

Superb Cabin in the Woods

Viipuri cabin was all we hoped for and more. Timo was very accommodating with check in so arriving a little early was not a problem. The traditional Finnish cabin was very warm & cosy & homely yet with very good modern appliances and an excellent shower with lashings of hot water. The kitchen was very well equipped. The tumble dryer was especially welcome as we made full use of the hot tub several times a day during our 3 night stay. Our 3 grandchildren were enchanted with staying right in the woods, surrounded by trees & watching for squirrels & birds. They didn't want to leave. Grandson number 1 particularly loved his 'nook' bedroom in the eaves. All the beds were comfortable & clean. We did loose internet connection on occasions but this was not important for us. We would love to return to enjoy more family time together in this special place.

About the host

Hosted by Timo Gleed

Host profile image
Hello, I’m Timo, your dedicated host during your stay at Viipuri, a holiday home steeped in history and charm. For over 45 years, we have been welcoming guests to this enchanting sanctuary, and I’m excited to share what makes it so special to our family.

Nestled on land originally purchased by my Great-Great Grandparents in 1904, Viipuri is surrounded by the breathtaking beauty of Ringwood Forest. They planted the stunning trees and vibrant Rhododendrons that grace our grounds today, and even laid a full grass tennis court where our main lawn now flourishes. This lawn has a rich history, having been ploughed for potatoes by the army during the War. Nearby, a World War II Army Pillbox stands as a poignant reminder of those times.

In the 1950s, the Forestry Commission planted majestic pine forests to the north, enveloping our property in a serene woodland atmosphere that beautifully complements the Finnish style of our log cabin. The story of Viipuri continues with my Grandfather Richard, who married my Finnish Grandmother, Helena, and in the 1980s brought a piece of Finland to Ringwood by importing a classic log house, aptly named Viipuri after my grandfather’s birthplace in Karelia.

In 2025, we completed a meticulous renovation, elevating the entire house to introduce a brand-new brick-built ground floor. Our goal was to blend contemporary luxury with the timeless charm of the original Finnish log design. Now, Viipuri spans three levels, featuring four patio doors that seamlessly connect you to the enchanting Ringwood Forest.

This home is not just a holiday retreat; it’s a cherished part of our family heritage. We invite you to join us as we celebrate the fifth decade of our service, creating unforgettable memories in a place that feels like home. Experience the magic of Viipuri—where history, nature, and modern luxury come together for an extraordinary getaway.

Why they chose this property

The property is a beautiful forest retreat bordering Ringwood Forest, Forestry Commission Land which stretches all the way to Verwood and Moors Valley. Conveniently 200m to the north is the Castleman Trailway the old Railway Line now a cycle path and walking trail. Therefore our property is ideal for walks, dog walkers, and as a base to explore the New Forest and Dorset.
We are also conveniently situated close to the A31 / A338 junction giving fast access to the New Forest, Bournemouth beaches, and Poole Bay.
