Sleeping & Living

Open-plan living, no compromises

A comfortable bed with linen bedding and blackout curtains for the long midsummer evenings, in a single open-plan space with the kitchenette and living area a few steps away.

Check-in from 15:00, check-out by 11:00, self check-in by lockbox whenever you arrive. Parking, the private lookout and the rest of the practical details are on our property rules page.

Walk-in shower cabin next to the bathroom vanity, finished in dark tile and timber

Bathing

A proper walk-in shower

Dark tile, black fixtures and hot water from a spring-fed supply. The bathroom window looks straight out over the forest.

Nespresso coffee machine with capsules and a milk frother on the kitchenette counter

Kitchen

Coffee sorted before you've had it

A Nespresso machine with capsules provided and a milk frother, alongside a fridge and the essentials to prepare simple meals in the kitchenette.

Outside

The terrace is the other living room

Covered and sheltered, facing the Bucegi mountains, with Piatra Craiului rising behind the cabin. It works in a downpour and in August heat, and it is where almost everyone ends up spending their evenings.

Below it there is a stone fire pit in the meadow, with firewood included for every stay.

Laptop set up on the covered terrace table, working remotely with a view over the forested valley

Connectivity

Fast enough to work from the terrace

Starlink satellite internet reaches every corner of the property, so video calls hold up and the view outside the laptop is better than the one at your desk.

A proper table and chairs on the covered terrace make it a genuine place to work.

Getting here

How to reach the hillside

From Bucharest

About 2 hours 45 minutes by car via the DN1 and Râșnov. Otopeni airport is the usual arrival point for international guests.

From Brașov

35 minutes by car through Râșnov. Trains from Bucharest to Brașov take around 2.5 hours, and a taxi or rental covers the last stretch.

The last kilometre

A gravel track climbs from the main road near Zărnești. It is fine for a normal car from April to November; in deep winter we advise winter tyres and can arrange a transfer.

The hillside is quiet. Come and have it to yourselves.

Direct booking is the cheapest way to stay — no platform fee, and you reach us rather than a call centre. Minimum 2 nights.
