Book a rental cabin in Teijo National Park and enjoy life in the forest. Perfect location for summer holidays!

Natura Viva offers two forest cabins for rent in Teijo National Park, on the Matildanjärvi lakeshore. The "Vaappu" and the "Lippa" are traditional fishers' lodges. 

The "Vaappu" and the "Lippa" are located in the Southern part in Teijo National Park. You will have good access to the hiking routes in the national park, and in the vicinity you'll find both the Teijo Nature Center and the Matildanjärvi lakeshore sauna, which can be used daily by the cabin tenants, free of charge.  

Natura Viva took hold on the cabins in early 2020, and they were transformed from rural fishers' lodges to full-fledged forest cabins, with electricity and needful amenities – everything you can hope for from a cabin in the woods.

Cabin specs

The cabins and their front yards form a traditional, old-age courtyard, with an outdoor fireplace and a dining table situated in the middle of the court. Each cabin has two sleeping alcoves, and a living room. Altogether there are six beds in each cabin, with a maximum visitor capacity of 12 people in two cabins. The main source of heating is a wood-fire stove in the main room. The cabins are connected on the electricity grid, and there are radiators for extra heating. The cabins are inhabitable throughout the year.

The cabins are located on the Southern part of Teijo National Park, on the Matildanjärvi lakeshore, about 100 meters from Teijo Nature Center, Natura Viva's hub in Teijo. There is a road and vehicle access to the cabins.

Keys

Keys are situated in a smart locker, which can be found at the cabins. The customer will be sent a personal pin code shortly before the start of the reservation. The pin code is operational throughout the rental period, so keys can and should always be left in the smart locker, when locking the cabin. When leaving the cabin at the end of the rental period, place the key back into the smart locker.

Cleaning and waste disposal

The person making the reservation is responsible for cleaning all the premises: the cabin, the common courtyard and the connected amenities and services. The premises have to be cleaned in such a manner, that the next guests will have a pleasant arrival in the cabins. 

All guests must adhere to the principle of waste-free camping, when staying in the cabins. This means, all non-burnable waste has to be taken away from the cabins when leaving, all burnable waste has to be burned in the wood-fire stove or in the courtyard fireplace, and all recyclable waste must be taken into the recycle point, located near the Teijo Nature Center parking area. No foodstuffs must be left behind in the cabins, as they attract mice and other small animals. 

Pets 

Clean dogs are allowed to visit the cabins. The dog owner is responsible for covering the beds and for cleaning away the dog hair. All dog litter from the courtyard must be cleaned and taken to the forest where it can be left to decompose.

When outside, dogs must be kept on a leash in Teijo National Park. Please make sure your dog doesn't disturb the other cabins' residents. 

When making the reservation, please add information about your dog size and breed. Also please check the rental terms and conditions concerning pets before making your reservation.
