The estate's history dates back to 1811, and the business began in 1993 under Kaisu Merilä. The hotel and restaurant stand on the bank of the Oulujoki, about half an hour's drive from Oulu. The buildings include Aittahotelli, Savusauna, Vilpola, Kota and the Puoji meeting and party venue. The food is mostly local and Northern Ostrobothnian, and dishes and bread are made in the estate's own kitchen. Fish is wild-caught from Rokua and Oulujärvi waters, or Kvarken salmon or Finnish rainbow trout. The menu includes juhannusjuusto (midsummer cheese), eaten year-round, and the restaurant takes catering orders.
