Hard to get to

Amazing place, great scenery, lovely hosts

Stayed in July 2023

Cozy, clean and peaceful accommodation. Located in highland, remote and mountainous country-side. Spectacular landscape from window. In order to reach with your own car, be aware that the the last ~2km of the road are rocky, bumpy and requires some very careful, steep up and down driving.

it was a little remote so you can really enjoy the silence, the sky at night, the crickets. the view was amazing, and there are a lot of main attraction places in the area to visit.

Incredible view , attentive owners. Very good homemade food on request. Ignore Google Maps an take the shortest acces on paved road up to Ghetari village and then 2 km of unpaved road accesible by any car.

The road is perfect until the village of Ghetari. We texted the owner 1 hour before our arrival and a guy waited for us in the parking lot. He brought us up to the apartment because we wouldn't have been able to get there because of the snow.

Loved the accommodation, it was super clean and cosy. The kitchen is fully equipped. The view is beautiful. The staff gave us some kind of blueberry liquor, some romanian pancake thing and fresh, warm milk for free. They also helped us where they could.

This is a huge house in a far away land on a remote piece of rocky mountain road. I regret arriving at night because it was an adventure to get there, a fun adventure though. The host was great a communicating through the booking message app. I let them know what time I'd be arriving. Most of the road up the property is mountain driving. The last part is unpaved and made up of rather large rocks and boulders. I was scared I'd get a flat tire, but all went well. I arrived according to G-maps, but there was no house. Luckily, when coming down the road from the north, I saw a light up the hill to my right. I drove a bit further and found an even smaller steep road up to that house: it was the right road. The fact that they left the porch light on was my savior, otherwise I would not have been able to find the house in the dark. I was met by the host who gave me a quick tour. It's a huge house, old charm but clean and well maintained. Downstairs is a big kitchen and dining area. Upstairs are several rooms, some with private bathroom, some with shared. The wifi was great. They put signal boosters in the area to make sure of it. The mountain air and quaint surroundings rested my body and soul. I was only here for one day but if you are looking at a remote stay of peaceful bliss, it's better to stay a few days. The surrounding area is beautiful with lots of nice driving, caves to visit, and walks to do. The family owns the cutest dog who welcomed me when I arrived. There are also adorable horses. There's a glacier cave nearby and also a bat cave (Ionele's Door Cave) and Bear's Cave is not too far from here.

That I haven't learned enough Romanian language;)

The house is solid and safe. The walls built with traditional bricks keep the rooms quiet and comfortably cool in the summer. Our host has always been cheerful and helpful. Her daughter speaks English very well. The meals were fresh and tasty, made with local products and recipes. Peaceful Romanian mountain village.

After 1 night I've been moved to the room on the ground floor. With the noise of the kitchen and the dining room (sometimes till 11:30pm). I could not negotiate because I had booked after the other guests.

The place was amazing. The landlord and landlady very attentive. Dinner and breakfast were really good and plentiful

Access is a bit difficult when it rains (or snows), but we drove there in a VW Polo without any problems.

Warm welcome By Friendly Felicia. True and honest country life. Homemade food. Beautiful area. We had Some excellent walks. Great to ‘land’ in Romania after arriving in Oradea.

Unfortunately the WiFi was not reaching the first floor. On the second level it was good, even for a teleconference.

We only stayed for one night. Were received by the manager/owner, with a glass of blueberry liquor. She also offered a snack of homemade pies. At dinner, we had polenta with homemade sausage and cheese. The room was rustic, the bathroom basic but all clean. The little dog we travelled with was accepted. The cabin is on a hilltop, some 2-3 km from the nearest village. The views were vast and pleasant. We were able to buy some basic food and mineral water from the village shop. Pouf, the 2 year-old dog of the host accompanied us enthusiastically all the way and back. There is a communal kitchen and fridge.

Incredible view, one of the most secluded locations in Romania where you could spend the night, utter silence, only interrupted by crickets and birds. Simply a highway to our romanian ancestors, crafts and call to nature. Go there with a good heart and you'll come out refreshed.

WiFi was very poor. And there was no LTE. I had to go a couple miles to catch a signal.

Good location in mountains. Well equipped kitchen.

The place is really hard to access, the road is awful. The owner was sleeping (i informed my time of arrival), I could talk with her because there is almost zero cellphone coverage. After a long trip took me over 30 minutes to get to my room.

Nothing.

Facilities are not well suited for full occupancy, all touristic objectives are difficult to reach because of the bad road a few km long. The area is prone to water stoppages, we had an almost 2 days water stoppage and the host were not prepared for that, while it is not a singular event. Bed is not confortable, bad mattress and bad sponge filled pillows, no place for clothing storage, etc.

Beautiful location, apparently isolated but the area is actually full of tourists. However at night there is a deep silence and a starry sky.
