Mäntysalonkämppä rental hut (a large common room, one bedroom and a kitchen) is situated on the eastern shore of Mäntysalo Island on the northern end of Kolovesi National Park. The hut, an old loggers' cabin built in 1940, was restored for its current purpose in 2006-2007. The Mäntysalonkämppä hut is situated on an island, and tenants must arrange passage from the mainland to the island independently. A 1.7 km connecting path runs from the hut to the Mäntysalo nature trail. The Mäntysalo nature trail is 3.8 km long. There is also a sauna in the yard.
