Jero's rental hut (1 room, kitchenette, sauna) is located on a fairly gentle slope on the eastern shore of Lake Jerojärvi right at the water’s edge. The trees here mainly consist of old-growth pine forests. A small brook flows between the hut and the sauna, which is lined with younger deciduous trees. The hut is 200 metres from the nearest cottage neighbour.
The Herajärven kierros Trail runs approximately 300 metres from the Jero hut, and Koli's famous views are located approximately 3.5 km away.
A rental hut is a place for an overnight stay that can be rented for only your use.
Reservations

Arrival instructions
Hiking
It is possible to hike to Jero hut. The distance from Ukko-Koli to Jero via Ikolanaho is approximately 3.8 km.
Driving instructions
From Koli Nature Centre Ukko, drive downwards along Ylä-Kolintie Road for 2 km and turn left onto Jerontie Road. Continue for 1.3 km and turn left onto Kotaniementie Road. Continue for 2.6 km and turn right, as shown on the signpost, to the yard of the Jero rental hut.
Read more about the area and more detailed arrival instructions on Nationalparks.fi.
Yard
Wood-burning lakeside sauna, rowing boat, 2 life vests for adults and 1 for children, dry toilet and campfire place and a composter for biowaste.
Camping in the yard is prohibited.
Keys
The key is in a key code box on the hut wall. The box is protected with a code. Instructions and the code are sent to you by e-mail after the payment.
Take lock de-icer with you just in case the box's lid is stuck due to frost. Metsähallitus does not have maintenance on site.
Always keep the keys inside the key box, so they won’t get lost or locked inside the hut.
Facilities
Heating and lighting
The hut has electric heating, two heat-storing fireplaces and firewood for heating. Please use firewood sparingly. Please note that it takes some time before the hut is properly warm.
In rainy weather and during low pressure, smoke will not exit the fireplaces properly. The fireplace may then smoke up the hut. It is a good idea to preheat the fireplace so that smoke exits properly. Check the heating instructions in the hut folder.
Cooking
Electric cooker/oven, refrigerator with an ice box, microwave oven, coffee maker, electric water boiler, tableware and cutlery for five people.
Drinking water
The well in Jero reservable hut is out of commission. Therefore do not drink the hut's tap water even after boiling it. It is recommended to bring enough drinking and domestic water with you to the hut.
It is also possible to borrow water containers and get clean drinking water from the Koli Nature Centre Ukko.
Staying overnight
There are two beds in the bedroom and three beds (bunk bed + sofa) in the kitchen/main room. Mattresses, pillows and blankets.
Please bring your own linen or a sleeping bag.
In the summertime it's recommended to bring a mosquito net with you to quarantee a good night's sleep.
Sauna
You must carry the water to the sauna from the lake year around. The water tank of the sauna stove must be full of water when warming up the sauna.
In mid winter there is a hole in the ice covered with a deck. There is a tool in the dry toilet’s storage room that you can use to open the hole in the ice if it has frozen over. Remember to empty the water containers in the sauna (pots and the water tank of the heater) after use, because the water will break the containers when it freezes. Please note that the in the ice is not large enough for swimming.
Toilet
Flush toilet and dry toilet. Please bring your own toilet paper.
Waste disposal
There are no waste containers by the cabin. Visitors are advised to take their accumulated waste with them.
Metsähallitus follows the principles of litter-free hiking. Visitors are adviced to bring their own waste out of the area. Read more about hiking without littering (nationalparks.fi).
For the biowaste, there is a composter.
Other things to keep in mind
There are no accessible services in the hut.
Dishwashing liquid, spices, fire-making equipment and toilet paper are not included.
Please do not use the lake water or swim in it, if you see marks of blue-green algae blooming (thl.fi). Metsähallitus is not held responsible for possible blue-green algae blooming.
Lure fishing with a single rod is permitted at Jero, but persons aged 18-69 years must pay the fisheries management fee. For trap fishing with a fish trap or net, in addition to paying the fisheries management fee, you will need local trap fishing permit, which can be purchased from Sale Koli (Kolintie 94, Lieksa).
Metsähallitus is not to be held responsible for possible disconnections in electricity network during storms.
Please clean the hut before you leave.
Safety
Although Finland has a broad network for mobile phones, there are some areas in the park without signal. If this happens try to climb to a higher place or go into an open area. Check the mobile network coverage with your mobile phone operator before your trip.
There are fire alarms at wilderness huts, but we recommend to bring a 9 V battery and/or your own travel fire alarm with you.
