Pet-friendly vacation rentals in Gauja

Excellent host and the backyard is very nice for outdoor meals. The walk to the beach is no more than 10 minutes, a nice bakery on the way to the beach. The river that is right next to the property is very quiet. The train tracks are right next to the house(train runs every 10 minutes) but the host has double windows in all rooms to lower the sound tremendously. I thoroughly enjoyed my stay as the other 3 guest parties were a joy to converse with in the backyard. Two things to consider for your stay: 1.) Can you handle the train noise? every 10 minutes. 2.) Ask about bathroom size picture of the room you're renting. That backyard was worth it for me. like a mini arboretum.

great place to relax without feeling final away from civilization at the same time. Very responsive hosts, and took care of everything! I want to take a special thank you for the directions to all the drawers and closets, helped a lot to navigate!

Bottle of wine on the table was a great birthday surprise:)

Great place to visit ! House is amazing !

Worth every penny. Surrounded by nature. Fantastic decor and art. Beautiful stars. Well equipped kitchen and bathroom - had all possible utensils and even contact lenses liquid in the bathroom. Has a wonderful terrace. Great lighting outside and interesting nature surroundings. Very responsive and talkative host. Great spiritual spot for connecting with nature. Nice and spacious hot tub. Perfect rustic experience. Very artsy environment.

That's a perfect place if you need to relax, chill and find some balance between usual life and nature. No one is around, pure nature, small river around but at the same time its close to city center, you can have a delivery and easily plunge into the common world

Lovely cabin in a quiet place in Jurmala. Very helpful and nice hosts! It so coincided that when we checked in, the boiler broke and Galina's husband showed an ingenuity for which he was also very grateful(you can not worry, the boiler has already been bought). We were very satisfied and our four-legged friend too! The territory is fenced, so you can easily let it out for a walk. If you are looking for a quiet place and coziness, then this is the best option for your money.

Anu's house by the sea is a charming and perfect place, full of small details that make the stay very comfortable. I would definitely come back again for a new vacation. The sauna, the bikes, the barbecue, the boat, the tranquility of this beautiful area have made this stay a great souvenir. Thank you very much Anu for your great hospitality.

The place was exactly as expected – cozy, beautiful, tidy and with a pleasant atmosphere. The host was responsive and easy to communicate with. The place is very remote from the hustle and bustle of the city, which makes the stay super peaceful.

Everything was just wonderful

I really enjoyed it and will be happy to go again.

Perfect stay with beautiful surrounding for hiking lovers and dog owners. Close to the sea and forest. Quiet and peaceful place to unwind and relax. Friendly and proactive host, nice neighbors. The apartment has everything you need.

We stayed for two nights and absolutely loved it! The house was spotless and had everything we could possibly need- and more! From charcoal and all the grill tools, logs for the hot tube and sauna, to a great coffee machine and thoughtful touches throughout. The terrace was super cozy, surrounded by lush greenery, with plenty of different types of swings and places to unwind. At night, the starry sky was magical. It’s ideal for 3-5 people with plenty of space and clearly lots of love and care from the owners, both inside and out. The host even left us some sweet, delicious surprises that made us feel truly welcomed. We enjoyed every moment of our stay, making the most of the house and garden.Time flew by, and honestly, we didn’t want to leave. We would love to come back again someday. Thank you for everything! Greetings🙏🏼

Great place to relax from the hustle and bustle of the city. Everything is clean and well thought out. Very responsive and welcoming hosts. We also used the sauna which was perfectly prepared. Loved that children have also been thought of, where you can go out, walk, play on the children's playground in a safe environment, and even see the sheep. We'll definitely be back!

Akmeni Resort was amazing! It was very clean and cozy. Kitchen had all equipment for cooking and a big bonus was coffee machine, as we are big coffee lovers. Beds were big and very comfortable with extra pillows. Outside there was a BBQ and with extra cost we could use jacuzzi or sauna. Grownups had also comfy robes that were perfect after a jacuzzi. The place was perfect with kids, as all they did was having fun in pool or in jacuzzi, or if they had a break from swimming, they could play in the playground or just watch local squirrels play and eat in their cage. Even though there are three other rentals on the spot, it was quite peaceful and we could enjoy sound of crickets in the evening. We really loved this place!

Great apartment

The AirBnB was exactly as described. A very nice place for a getaway. The beach is within walking distance and the AirBnB is easily accessible by public transport from Riga. Unfortunately, we could not use the beautiful garden with barbecue facilities due to the many mosquitoes. Communication with Helena was very warm and straightforward. We enjoyed our stay very much and felt completely comfortable.

We were very satisfied with the property, cozy and comfortable apartment with a lovely terrace. Rather in a quiet subdivision, away from the major hustle and bustle, easy to find and everything you need was there. The apartment is more spacious and bigger than when you look at the pictures and a good night's sleep ensured an extra comfortable and soft bed! Communication with the host friendly and pleasant.

Burning fire stove was welcoming us inside, while everything was just so clean, peaceful and silent, exactly as in pictures. Big windows allowed us to enjoy nature and singing birds straight from the bed. I would definitely come back again. Amazing place, thank you very much!

Very nice host and apartment

We were very pleased with our stay at Karlis’ house, which features a charming garden, a cozy terrace, and comfortable upstairs bedrooms. We stayed for three days with our dog, who was warmly welcomed. The nearby forest, with its many scenic trails, was perfect for walks. The peaceful, nature-filled area just outside Riga was ideal for relaxing. The house’s rustic feel, especially on the lower floor, added to its charm. The front door was an unforgettable, authentic detail—it felt like stepping into a Grimm’s fairy tale. The house has been modernized with care, preserving its unique "cigar box" character, especially at the lower floor. Karlis' house is truly a gem, and it was a delight to learn about the artist who once lived there and see his remarkable sculptures still on display.

Everything that is in the description perfectly matches the reality. I was lucky to see Gatis in person because I arrived a bit too early - very sinere and helpful host. The place itself was exactly what I was looking for - it was nice, simple, tidy, private and overall it felt very cozy. Also the well-kept bicycle was put to good use :) This place is definitey worth it for all kinds of travelers. It is perfect for a family, for pairs and for people just wanting to switch-up their surroundings when working from home. Definitely a great find for myself and I can see that I will visit this place again :)

The place is breathtaking! You can spend few hours just looking at all design elements and historic items.. The amount of work, talent and love put in this home is incredible. The yard and garden looks hipster and fun. We loved the place and will be definitely back!

Our stay at Natacha's apartment was great. It was easy to communicate. The location is good 😊
