Lortikka rental hut (3 rooms and a kitchen) is modest in quality, a fairly original old forest worker's cabin. The cabin is located on a small hill by the Ylinen-Lortikkalampi pond, along the trails of Isojärvi National Park. There is a sauna on the other side of the stream.

The rental hut is an accommodation that is rented entirely for private use.

The cabin is a sight, so hikers may move around the yard.

Lortikantie is closed with a locked gate. The gate key is in a key box next to the gate. The gate must be kept locked. Do not take the key with you; it is always stored at the gate.

Facilities

Heating and lighting

  • The cabin has wood stoves and a wood-burning stove, as well as wood for heating the cabin. Firewood for the cabin can be obtained from the cabin's woodshed. Use firewood sparingly. Please note that heating the cabin takes time.

  • The cabin has no electricity. We recommend a headlamp, which leaves your hands free for cabin chores. For safety reasons, burn candles on a non-flammable surface and supervise them at all times.

Cooking

The gas and wood-burning stove, tableware, and kitchen utensils are sized for 20 people.

Drinking water

The cabin has no running water.

In 2021, a borehole was completed at Lortikka, but the water does not fully meet the quality requirements for drinking water.

Staying overnight

The beds have mattresses, pillows, and blankets.

Bring your own sheets or sleeping bag, as well as towels.

Sauna

The sauna is on the other side of the stream, next to the trail, right by the pond.

Firewood for the sauna can be found in the woodshed at the end of the sauna.

Toilet

There is a dry toilet near the hut. Please bring your own toilet paper.

Waste disposal

Compost, mixed waste, metal, glass, and battery collection.

Other things to keep in mind

  • The cabin does not have accessible services.

  • If the renter leaves the gate open and other drivers access the area, a fee of 100 euros will be charged for reopening the gate.

  • Please clean the cabin before you leave.

  • There may be areas with no mobile phone coverage at the hiking destinations. In such situations, moving to a higher, open area may help. Check the coverage of your mobile network with your operator before heading out.

  • The cabins have smoke detectors, but we recommend bringing a 9V battery and/or your own portable smoke detector.
