Central Finland
Just outside the national park boundary, Hossan Lomakeskus has lake frontage and a clutch of cottages (linen costs an extra €8 per person), as well as an elongated hotel, whose 25 rooms have decent bathrooms and exterior entrances. Prices include the sauna but not breakfast, which is an extra €7.
There’s also a bar and a restaurant (lunch/dinner buffet €9/12) of mediocre quality.
