Raatejärvi rental hut (built in 2002) is located by the Peura Trail on the northern shore of Lake Raatejärvi. The hut was refurnished in 2020. There is no longer an open wilderness hut in the yard, and the entire yard area, including the sauna, is for the tenant's use.

A rental hut is a place for an overnight stay that can be rented for only your use.

What's new

Arrival instructions

  • The Raatejärvi rental hut is located along the Peura Trail, on the northern shore of Raatejärvi.

  • Winter maintenance is provided up to the parking area at Kuivajärvi, from where it's a 1.5 km walk to the hut. The address of the Kuivajärvi parking area is Kuivajärventie 700, Reisjärvi.

  • Read more about the area and more detailed arrival instructions on Nationalparks.fi (in Finnish).

Yard

  • Outside there is a coocking shelter, a sauna, a campfire site, a dry toilet, a dock and a rowing boat.

  • Oars and life jackets are stored in the sauna's vestibule.

Keys

The key is in a key cabinet on the hut wall. The cabinet is protected with a code. Instructions and the code are sent to you by e-mail after the payment.

Facilities

Heating and lighting

  • The hut has a stove and firewood for heating. Please use firewood sparingly. Please note that it takes some time before the hut is properly warm.

  • The hut has no electricity. We recommend using a headlamp, which leaves your hands free to do chores around the hut. For safety reasons, candles must be burned on a non-combustible surface and constantly monitored.

Cooking

A gas cooker, tableware and kitchen utensils.

Drinking water

  • There is no running water in the hut and no well in the yard.

  • Use the water from the lake only for bathing and washing the dishes. 

Staying overnight

  • Two bunk beds, mattresses, pillows, blankets.

  • Please bring your own linen or a sleeping bag.

Sauna

  • Wood heated sauna in the separate building.

  • There is an ice saw in the hut which can be used to break the lake's ice layer in winter to get washing water. Make the opening slightly away from the pier. In this way, the pier structures remain intact.

Toilet

There is a dry toilet near the hut. 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).

Other things to keep in mind

  • 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.

  • Read more about the area and its current information at Nationalparks.fi (in Finnish).
