Husband-and-wife hosts, Lisa Kivirist and John Ivanko, love sharing their rural coastal retreat with guests eager to enjoy the outdoors. They bring 25+ years of innkeeping experience, having run the award-winning Inn Serendipity B&B in Wisconsin (USA), recognized for its commitment to sustainability and local, organic food. With Estonian roots, Lisa’s family ran a bakery in Pärnu up until the war in 1944, when they fled to Germany and eventually immigrated to the USA. She is honored and excited to now live in her ancestral homeland, bringing that love of baking genetics with her fresh pastries for breakfast featuring wild-foraged flavors of the forest such as blueberries and mushrooms. John Ivanko is a professional photographer and writer, with his work featured in numerous US media as well as sold online at ALAMY Stock Photography. Both are authors of numerous books in English, including Homemade for Sale and Farmstead Chef. Lisa has also authored Soil Sisters and John has co-authored six multicultural children’s books like To Be a Kid and Come Out and Play. Located less than a half hour drive southwest of Estonia's summertime seaside resort spot of Pärnu, Inn Serendipity Eesti is a peaceful oceanside retreat overlooking the warm and shallow waters of the Gulf of Riga. A walkway with some elevated wood bridges cuts through coastal meadows and over a reed patch and streams, cross over two sand bars and past a natural pond to the coastline, affording views of abundant bird wildlife and colorful flowers during the summer months. The pathway ends along the grassy shoreline where you can wade out into the shallow waters to cool off, perhaps relaxing on the first sand bar about 500 meters from the shore. Lisa and John welcome guests who might enjoy this relaxing experience in nature.

Widely known as a birders’ paradise, the Haademeeste area is a well traveled stopover for numerous migrating bird species depending on the time of year and in Jaagupi, just off our shoreline, are often gathered majestic swans, herons and cranes. During the summer months, an abundance of wildflowers bloom. In the spring and fall, the shallow waters and coastal wetlands and meadows are on a natural flyway between breeding and wintering areas for millions of Arctic waterbirds. Just down the road is the Kabli Bird Station and viewing platform, one of the best spots hard core birders often stop to try to add one or more species to their bird list. On the edge of the beautiful coastal sea in Kabli, there is a 1.8 km study trail introducing diverse landscapes and habitats. The nature study trail begins at the Kabli Visitor Centre. For those eager to forage for culinary delicacies, the nearby forests less than a five minute walk offer plentiful wild strawberries, blueberries and mushrooms, many wild foraged by Lisa and John to be used in the delicious and unique breakfasts in the morning. The pond at Inn Serendipity Eesti attracts wildlife, including the rare natterjack toad (Bufo calamita Laur.), where you are more likely to hear it than see it in the Baltic coastal meadows. Two very shallow sand bars submerged about 500 meters off the shoreline of the Inn Serendipity Eesti property can be a delightful place to relax as small waves keep you cool in the hot summer days. Just a 5 minute drive away is the wide and peaceful Cosmonaut Beach, named as such since it was once a popular place for cosmonauts to use during Soviet times. Further down the coast toward the Latvian border are numerous wide expanses of soft white sandy beaches in the communities of Kabli and Lemme. In Häädemeeste, 4 km to the north, you can join the kite surfers as they zig-zag across the shallow waters, restock on picnic provisions at the Coop, or fill up your water bottles from an artesian well.
