Designated parking area at Carpathian Outlook, on the gravel track beside the cabin

Parking

One place for every car

All vehicles must be parked in the designated parking area, on the gravel beside the cabin — shown in the photo. Please don't park further along the track or out on the meadow.

Lookout / private plateau

A plateau that belongs to your stay

A private lookout sits about 30 metres from the cabin, along a short stretch of natural hillside terrain — the ground can be uneven, so take it slowly after dark or in wet weather. The elevated plateau is exclusively available to our guests, with a picnic area and panoramic views across the valley.

It's a genuine spot for a sunrise coffee, a picnic, or an evening with the view.

BBQ & outdoor cooking

Cook outside, safely

The BBQ grill is kept behind the cabin. You're welcome to BBQ on the plateau by the picnic table, or in the appropriate outdoor space at the front of the cabin.

Two rules that matter:

  • The grill must never be placed on the covered terrace.
  • Keep it at least 3 metres from the cabin whenever it's in use.

If the grill is still hot or has lit charcoal in it, never move it closer to the cabin — let it cool where it is. Please don't leave an active fire, hot coals or a lit grill unattended, and make sure everything is fully out before you walk away. You're welcome to leave the charcoal in the grill afterwards so it cools down safely.

House rules

The rest, in plain terms

Fire pit

Fire pit: please use only the firewood stacked under the terrace at the front of the cabin, and don't take any wood from the sides of the house. The firewood is free, just go easy on it so there's enough left for the next guests.

Plastic must never be burned in the fire pit, or disposed of in it. Use the stone pit provided, and skip the fire altogether if a high fire-risk warning is posted locally.

Smoking

Smoking is permitted only on the outdoor terrace, where an ashtray is provided. Smoking, vaping and tobacco products of any kind are not permitted anywhere inside the cabin.

Please make sure every cigarette is fully out before disposing of it in the ashtray, and never leave butts on the ground, in vegetation, or in the fire pit. Empty the ashtray responsibly into the bin behind the house before you check out.

Starlink & internet equipment

The Starlink dish, router, cables and power supply are professionally set up and must stay in position — please don't unplug, move, reset or open any of it. If equipment is damaged through misuse or tampering, we'll ask for the actual cost of repair or replacement rather than an arbitrary fee.

Dishes & kitchen

Before you check out, please wash any dishes, glasses, cutlery and pots you've used and return them to where you found them. If something is still drying, leaving it clean on the rack is fine — just don't leave dirty dishes, cookware or food waste in the sink.

Towels

Please leave used towels on the bed when you check out, rather than on the floor, outside, or in the bathroom — that's how we know they need washing.

Waste & recycling

Two bins are located behind the cabin. Please use the black bin for food waste, perishables and general rubbish, and the green bin for plastic and glass bottles and other recyclable packaging.

Food storage

Please don't leave food or food waste on the terrace overnight — bring it inside or out to the bins before you turn in.

Water

The cabin is supplied by its own spring water source from Măgura, and the water is safe and drinkable straight from the tap.

Outdoor equipment

Two foldable chairs and an extra folding table are available for use around the fire pit or the BBQ — the table doubles as a preparation surface while cooking. They aren't fixed in place, so please fold them back up and return them once you're done.

Pets

Pets are not permitted. The meadow is unfenced and borders working farmland and forest, so we ask guests to leave pets at home.

General property care

  • Keep outdoor areas clean and use the bins provided.
  • Put out smoking materials fully and dispose of them properly.
  • Follow the BBQ and fire pit guidelines, and never burn plastic.
  • Never move a hot BBQ towards the cabin.
  • Return the folding chairs and table once you've finished with them.
  • No parties or events, and no additional guests beyond those booked, without checking with us first.
  • Please keep noise considerate, especially in the evening — sound carries further than it seems on an open hillside.
  • Leave indoor furniture inside and outdoor furniture outside, rather than moving it between the two.
  • Don't disconnect, dismantle or otherwise interfere with the cabin's electrical, heating, internet or security equipment.
  • If something is accidentally damaged during your stay, please tell us straight away rather than leaving it for the next guest to find.
  • Leave the cabin reasonably tidy at checkout, with no food waste or rubbish left around the property.
  • Close all doors and windows properly when you leave the cabin.
  • Please stay out of any areas or outbuildings that aren't part of your stay.

Emergency & safety

For anything urgent during your stay, message us on WhatsApp — we're usually able to reply within minutes. For a genuine emergency, call 112, the single emergency number used throughout Romania and the rest of the EU. The cabin sits on a working hillside close to a national park, so ordinary mountain conditions apply: uneven ground, working farm animals nearby, and wildlife in the surrounding forest. Take care on the access track and the plateau path after dark or in wet weather.
