Great location

Guests who stayed here in the past year loved the location.
Come experience a life close to nature, enjoy a wonderful view, all at a mountain village. We welcome people who are interested in seeing and experiencing a different lifestyle, with more nature, more natural food, less stress and more simplicity. Travelers who would like to see how we live close to nature, how we use the herbs in the surroundings, and how we try to integrate sustainability in both our renovation methods as well as our community. Please read the listing before booking.

The space
Our place is different, it is magical, but not like the standard guesthouse that you can find all over the country.
At our place you can enjoy nature and be close to the Apuseni Natural Park. There are caves, forests, a lake and a waterfall close by. It is ideal if you want to get away from the rush of city life. We are in a semi secluded area with only a few neighbors around.

The garden room, which you can enjoy during your stay, is right next to the garden. You can relax and learn about what we grow here if you are interested in plants and wild herbs.

Our place is great for couples for a romantic getaway.

The areas that you can use are the following: your private room with a separate, own entrance, outdoor hot shower, compost toilet, outdoor campfire area, hammock under the cherry trees. We also have a private spot in the middle of the meadow for yoga or a picnic. There is no kitchen.

Guest access
Available to inspiring all musicians we have a small collection of instruments. Quiet stargazing campfires can be arranged.
We have an outdoor shower surrounded by lilacs and an outdoor ecological dry compost toilet. We cannot offer guests access to the kitchen at the moment, because it interferes with our daily cooking schedule.

Other things to note
Our place is on top of the hill, where you can get to on a country dirt road from the center of the village (about 2 km), accessible by a normal car or by foot.

Since we only have a small kitchen, there is no cooking possibility. We also find it very important to support the local rural community and consume mostly organic food or home grown food. Since we live in a communal way, you are welcome to try our homecooked meals and slow food. Please ask us about our food sharing possibilities.

We are not interested in tourism, instead we would like to offer an experience that you cannot find elsewhere.

Where you’ll be

Răchițele, Cluj County, Romania

We are located close to forests and many natural areas, there are plenty of areas to walk and hike to, caving, waterfall and so on. The nearest big city with airport facilities is 80 km away (Cluj Napoca), and the nearest town with train facilities is 28 km away (Huedin). This town is reachable from all parts of Romania and Budapest (Hungary). We can arrange private transportation and pick up for you (at additional cost depending on needs). We are quite far from big cities, located right at the border of the Apuseni Natural Park. You can visit the Bride's Veil waterfall, a mountain lake, lush pine forests and small mountain villages nearby. A bit further away there are plenty of hiking possibilities (you can climb the highest peak in our region) or caving tours can be arranged.
