The Porttimäki hut is located on the heritage site of the former Porttimäki farm land. All the old buildings have been demolished and only the oven is left. The meadow opens up to a very beautiful view to the hills and to Kiantajärvi, south of Sotkamo. A few hundred meters from the house there is an old, small stone quarry on the hillside of Porttivaara.
