Stay by one of Europe's darkest lakes

Each room is named after an Estonian inventor. Rather than telling their whole life story, we’ve picked out a few facts about each of them that might give you a little “wait, really?” moment. For example, Estonian-born aviation pioneer Alexander Liwental flew around 80 metres in a glider he built himself in 1894 – nine years before the Wright brothers’ famous flight. Every room has its own inventor and its own story. You’ll find yours inside.

Our eight unique honeycomb-shaped tiny houses have 12 rooms and 15 beds in total.

• 9 single rooms
• 3 double rooms
• Up to 15 guests in total
• All houses are suitable for year-round use

Guests also have access to the café house – RemoteNow’s shared living room. It’s where we have morning coffee, work, talk, watch a film or simply spend time together. Saunas and the hot tub can be booked separately.

RemoteNow was created for team retreats around a simple idea: our environment affects how we think, interact, and come up with new ideas. That’s why you won’t find everything you need inside your room. Toilets and showers are in the café and sauna houses, shared activities happen elsewhere, and getting from one place to another means stepping outside. That’s intentional. Walking in nature can boost creative thinking, and the same idea inspired the RemoteNow Creativity Trail, created together with Estonian neuroscientist Jaan Aru. At RemoteNow, you don’t have to schedule time in nature. It happens anyway.

Our tiny houses stand in the forest by a private bog lake. Beneath them lies around 2–3 metres of peat, which took approximately 2,000–3,000 years to form. Here, nature isn’t just something you look at through the window. For a while, you get to live right in the middle of it. The houses themselves are warm, cosy and designed for year-round use. The rest of RemoteNow begins when you step outside.

Hidden among the forests of South Estonia lies one of Europe's darkest lakes. At more than ten metres deep, it offers year-round opportunities for wild swimming. Many guests arrive curious about the lake. The swim is often what they remember most.
