“A breathtaking mountain retreat. Beautifully designed, peaceful and truly special”

We had an absolutely wonderful stay at Planina Vanika 40. The house is beautifully finished and truly state of the art, with smart home features throughout. The kitchen is more than fully equipped, and there is even a cellar stocked with wine, beer, water, bread, spreads and more — enough to get through the first day without having to do groceries immediately. The beds are incredibly comfortable and the rooms are surprisingly spacious for a mountain cabin. There was also a baby cot available, which was not mentioned in the description but was a lovely bonus. The WiFi worked very well too. And then there is the view: simply breathtaking. It is so peaceful and quiet, with only the occasional company of cows and the gentle sound of the bells around their necks. The sauna was absolutely lovely as well. The house does seem to be designed with an active mountain lifestyle in mind. The built-in hardwood benches are beautifully finished and make perfect sense for the space and setting, but they are quite firm. So if you are dreaming of sinking into a soft sofa for a long movie night, this may not be quite that kind of place. The owner was very quick to respond and extremely helpful whenever we had a question. We drove up by car, which took about an hour. The first time was a bit nerve-racking for someone who is not used to mountain roads, and we were very glad to have a 4x4 — you really do need one. Driving around is not really allowed, so we kept our car movements to a minimum: just arriving and leaving. It may be a more expensive stay, but you truly get so much in return. A 10 out of 10, without a doubt. We had such a wonderful time here and would highly recommend it.

The location of the chalet, it's difficult to beat this amazing view on the mountains and the valley around. Nik was super helpful during the whole stay, and is very welcoming!

The cottage is in a wonderful location, with best view.

“Cosy calm challet on a wonderful place”

Very nice and quiet place, no people, only cows, birds, trees and nature. Wonderful views. Good equipment of the house - not luxury, but we knew about it and we liked it. Very good starting point for many trips, good services nearby.
