Tolosen talo

€80.00 / d

Tolosen talo, roughly translated as ”The House of Tolonen”, lies near the Saarijärvi parking area entrance to the Repovesi national park, about 100 meters from the entrance gate. The premises were originally constructed in 2005 as an accommodation for maintenance personnel working in the forest. Nowadays the second floor of the building has been converted to a rental apartment. A well-equipped tenement with full electricity, Tolosen talo offers pleasant accommodation for photographers, researchers and in general for everyone in need to charge their batteries during their stay in the national park.

OBS! To rent this hut for November 2022 or later, please continue nationalparks.fi/tolosentalorentalhut

Cleaning and waste disposal

The person making the reservation is responsible of the tidiness of the leased premises, the yard and the connected services. Please clean the apartment thoroughly, so that the next overnighter will also have a pleasant stay!

The Repovesi national park adheres to the principles of leaving no waste behind. This means, all non-burnable waste that you bring with you must be brought out of the national park. Under any circumstances do not leave food stuff behind, as they attract animals. Do not discard compostable waste in the outhouse, as the outhouse does not have a compost system.
