Pitkäjärvi Rental Cabin (2 rooms and a kitchen) is modest in standard, a beautiful old forest workers’ hut preserved in nearly its original condition. The weathered log cabin is located in a nature reserve in the central part of Seitseminen National Park, on the shore of Lake Pitkäjärvi.
The yard is natural and rugged, with impressive old trees. Footpaths lead from the yard to the sauna and the toilet. There are steps between the sauna and the lakeshore. Near the sauna, there is a designated campfire site. A hiking trail runs along the edge of the yard.
The rental cabin is an overnight accommodation that is rented entirely for private 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. Changes won't be made to reservations made from May 5, 2025.
The reservation day for shared rental huts, rental huts and other rental structures begins at 2 pm and ends at 12 noon.
Bring along your invoice and proof of payment to the hut. 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.
The use of the hut and other structures for business operations requires a permit from Metsähallitus. Learn about transfer of rights of use (metsa.fi).
