The Hiidenmaa Farm rental hut, situated by Lake Luonteri next to the highest hill in South Savo, invites visitors to enjoy a peasant atmosphere from the early 1900s. The wooden floors in the main house (3 rooms and kitchen on) feel cosy under your feet, while the wood-burning baking oven, circular fireplace and stove give off gentle heat. Cooking is easy on the gas cooker in the veranda. The absence of electricity ensures a novel, restful experience for the mind. On Hiidenmaa farm, you get to try out a simple, relaxed but hard-working attitude to life and enjoy the peace of nature, together with the Saimaa ringed seal, which is native to the labyrinthine lake landscape of Luonteri.

As there are marked trails in the area, other hikers and groups move about there. Hiking trails to Neitvuori and the Hiidenmaa trail network pass by the yard.

A rental hut is a place for an overnight stay that can be rented for only your use. The hut is reserved exclusively for shepherds from late May to the end of August.

Terms of reservation for huts

Reservations

Tips for a smooth booking

Make all reservations under the same order if you book several huts or other sites for the same trip. According to the reservation terms, the minimum refundable amount per order is €30.
Make reservations under separate orders if you book huts or other sites for several different trips. Managing separate reservations is easier, and you will receive a separate due date for each one, 14 days before the start of the reservation.

Notes for all bookers

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).

Notes for corporate customers

A foreign company can place an order in the company's name only as an unregistered customer.
When a company regularly takes its customers to destinations with hiking infrastructure maintained by Metsähallitus, it must have a cooperation agreement. Read more in the information bank for entrepreneurs.
