Here lies the site of the old Kivelä farm, which was founded in 1750. The current focal point of the estate is the Mattila House, built in the 1920s.

Mattila is considered the cradle of culture in Koli and played a key role in the growth of the village. In the late 19th century, locals gathered here to promote the establishment of library activities and to decide to establish a primary school in Koli.

The old route from the port to Koli village and up to Ukko-Koli passed close to the farm and therefore Mattila also played a central role in the development of tourism. In the 1920s, Metsähallitus leased the farm, which was developed into suitable accommodation for tourists. Among the guests who stayed at the cozy Mattila was the painter Eero Järnefelt.

Mattila still accommodates and hosts tourists today.
