Mustajärvi Croft rental hut (common room, hall, bedroom and vestibule with kitchen) is located in the Evo Hiking Area and is a former forest ranger's farm. The farm's old forest pastures and meadows are significant conservation areas due to the value associated with their landscape and nature. The timber-framed Mustajärvi main building, the reservable double hut, is built in the 1850s and 1860s, and radiates the history of the Evo crown park. The location is a popular shepherd site in the summer. There is also a sauna in the yard.
A rental hut is a place for an overnight stay that can be rented for only your use.
Creating a user account is worthwhile. As a logged-in customer, you do not need to pay for your reservation immediately. You can also cancel unpaid reservations yourself. Create a user account.
Tip: If you reserve huts for multiple trips, make separate orders for each trip. This way, you can choose to pay for each trip's reservation only 14 days before the start of the reservation.
The reservation day for shared rental huts, rental huts and other rental structures begins at 2 pm and ends at 12 noon.
Keep the order confirmation of your paid reservation with you. Check the information related to keys in the "Keys" section (located halfway down the page).
By following the hut etiquette, you ensure that the use of hut is smooth. Learn about the hut etiquette (luontoon.fi).
A foreign company can place an order in the company's name only as an unregistered customer.

There is a dry toilet, well and woodshed in the yard.
The open grounds are surrounded by old buildings at the edge of a pasture. The sand road passes behind the sauna.
Camping in the yard is prohibited.
The yard of Mustajärvi rental hut includes valuable traditional environments, such as meadows, where camping is not allowed. Camping is permitted in the front yard of the house.
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.
The hut is heated by a large, heat-storing, brick-built baking oven in the hall and a fireplace in the bedroom. Please note! The use of the wood-burning stove in the kitchen area and the fireplace in the common room is forbidden for the time being. Please use firewood sparingly: two full loads of wood per day is enough to heat the heat-storing fireplaces. Please note that it takes some time before the hut is properly warm.
It is advisable to first keep the fire burning low in the heat-storing fireplaces of the hut to give the chimney time to warm up (no smoke inside). You must open the fireplace dampers before lighting a fire. Double dampers: one for ventilation and the other for the fireplace. Both dampers shall be kept open. Do not leave the fire unattended when lighting it!
The hut also has electricity and electric lighting.
Remember to pack a torch. We recommend a head torch which leaves your hands free for sauna duties. For safety reasons, candles must be burned on a non-combustible surface and constantly monitored.
The kitchen area has an electric cooker and oven, a refrigerator (with an ice compartment), crockery and cutlery.
There is a well in the yard. Please note that the well water must be boiled before drinking.
Drinking water is also available from the tap of the machine room located in the yard of Evo Centre or from the well at Evo Camping Centre.
