The cottage is named after Aaret Vilkman, who together with her daughters' families were the longest-standing residents of VB 4.

VB 4 was probably built before the 1890s and was originally owned by the miller Pukkila. In the 1890s the house was rented to tailor Mikko Karhu (Rustholl-Karhu), whose wife was a relative of miller Pukkila. Karhu family lived in the house until the early 1910s, when they moved out of Verla.

Aaret Vilkman moved into VB 4 after the Karhu family. Aaret and her daughter's families were the longest-standing residents of the building. Aaret died in 1941 and his wife in 1959. Their son Eino was killed in action in 1943. Daughter Saima lived in the house with her husband Erkki Stenberg in VB 4 until 1954.

Emma Nygren, a pensioner from the Kymi Company, the last occupant of the house, lived there for about ten years.

Repovalkea Oy is responsible for the reservation management and maintenance of the Verla cottages, which are owned and maintained by UPM-Kymmene Oyj. The sites are part of the World Heritage.
