The hut is located close to the Sammakkotammi car park (Valtimontie 1095, Rautavaara, Road no. 87). From the Pohjoisniemi car park (Kajaanintie 1655, Road no. 870, followed by approximately 2 km along a forest road to the car park), the walking distance to the hut is about 10 km along the Tiilikan kierto hiking trail.
The western section of the Tiilikan kierto trail includes a strait crossing of approximately 150 metres, which requires rowing skills. The crossing may not always be possible due to weather conditions, such as strong winds.
Signposts to Tiilikkajärvi National Park and the Sammakkotammi car park are located along the Joensuu–Kajaani road (Road no. 18) and the Rautavaara–Savikylä road (Road no. 87).
The nearest bus connection is to Rautavaara, from where the distance to the national park is approximately 15 km.
