Have the whole peninsula to yourself. The four cabins in Hirsniemi and a genuine log-built sauna make up a forest experience just a stone’s throw away from the Mill Museum. 

Hirsniemi brings their guests to the true forest life on the shore of a sandy lake. In this beautiful landscape you can have a break with a bigger party divided into separate cabins. 

The reservations and maintenance of the Verla cottages and cabins is managed by Repovalkea Oy. The cottages and cabins are owned and operated by UPM-Kymmene Oyj. The destinations are part of the World Heritage Site.

The cabins’ type, the yards and the beach

Four recently renovated, 25-square-meter cabins for 9 adults (can accommodate more if there are kids, up to 3-4 people per cabin). There are open main rooms and a kitchenettes in each cabin. The yards are mainly pine forest.

There is a shallow sandy lakeshore in front of the cabins. The beach itself is covered by typical pine forest vegetation (shrubs and big pine trees).

Location

The four cabins of Hirsniemi are located about half a kilometer from the Mill Museum on a quiet peninsula. The cabins are accessible by car.

Each cabin is individually marked on the peninsula itself, but finding the right intersection in the museum area requires attention. You can find the location of Hirsniemi on Google maps and a picture of the intersection on Google Street View.

Keys

Further details on how to pick up the keys are provided in the booking confirmation. The keys are in a key box at the cottage.  A valid PIN code for the key box will be sent via a text message to the number provided by the customer during the reservation process up to two hours before the start of the rental period.
The customer is responsible for the key throughout the time of reservation. The key must be returned at the end of the reservation to the same key box from where it was received. Compensation for a non-returned key is charged as per the terms.

Cleanliness, final cleaning and waste.

The customer is responsible for the cleanliness of the rental property, its yard and related services. Cottages must be carefully cleaned after use so that it’s nice and ready for the next guest to arrive to Verla. Biodegradable waste can go into the dry toilet and mixed waste can be disposed of in a sealed plastic bag in the waste container by the road leading to the Hirsniemi peninsula.

The final cleaning can also be purchased as a service at the time of the booking. If the property is left uncleaned, full cleaning costs will be charged to the customer (see terms).

Pets

House-trained dogs are allowed in the cabins. The owner must make sure the beds are properly protected if the dog likes to sleep on the bed. During the final cleaning special attention must be paid to the cleaning of the bedding and the rugs to get the dog hairs out as thoroughly as possible. 

Dogs must always be kept on a leash when outdoors. If dogs relieve themselves in the yard, waste must be picked up and moved further into the forest and out of sight and people’s feet. 

Please specify the dog breed and size when making the booking. Remember also to check the terms for pets before booking. 

If you would like more peace and quiet for your dog, the Saukko cottage is the furthest in the forest.

Terms

The customer making the reservation is fully responsible for the entire cottage and also for their friends. Please check out the terms before booking: Terms.
