The location is wonderful - beautiful views of the peaceful mountains. Everything in the cabin is very high end - it was a luxurious experience and had everything we needed.

The stairs are very steep - be warned if you have children or mobility issues. The car parking was a little way from the cabin - this isn't a problem, but we were advised to drive down to drop off our stuff and reverse back up the hill. If we had realised how steep it was before we started, we would have just carried stuff down. The reverse was not easy on the clutch of the car.

It's a beautiful and luxurious cabin (nr2). The gorgeous pictures don't even do it justice. The cabin has an amazing view and has everything you could need and want, like a beautiful bathroom incl a bathtub, a bbq, a complete kitchen with fridge, dishwasher, microwave, cooking gear etc. It has a lovely little fireplace that heats very well. The cupboards are even filled with extra things you could need like toilet paper, tooth brushes and toothpaste, make up remover, a puzzle for entertainment etc. The atmosphere is also very cosy with the way the stairs and cabins are lit up at night. It's also very quiet around (except for the occasional bark from the cute and friendly neighbourhood dogs but we only heard them one night, other nights were quiet). There were a few dogs near the cabin who loved some cuddles and were very friendly and used to seeing visitors. They would sometimes walk with us to the car, greet us when arriving from an excursion and they also came to the door every morning to try and get some cuddles in. The breakfast in the morning arrived in a cute basket and was very traditional and lovely. It contained bread, meats cheeses, some veggies, butter, a homemade jam, juice and fresh cow's milk (milked that morning). One morning there were also fresh eggs. It even has a little desert every morning. Before arriving the owner sent us a message containing information about the stay. It contained a link for online check in but he also included information on where to eat at night, like the small local restaurant the Barn which had amazing tradianal Romanian food, but also phone numbers of locals who could cook for you at their places. We visited one local who gave us a lovely Romanian meal and everyone we met there was so friendly and welcoming. He also included a place for bike rental, horse riding and a place where you can make and/or paint pottery. The owner was easy to reach in case of problems or questions.

The owner let us know that we could reach the cabin by car to upload the luggage but then we would have to drive backwards to the parking place. In theory that's an option and I'm sure it's doable for some cars, but not our car. We almost overheated and broke the clutch by trying to drive backwards up a steep gravel hill. Eventually we got there but it was very stressful. We contacted the owner about it and he eventually arranged for someone with a better car to pick up our luggage and take it to the car when we checked out. The man was a real gentleman, even offering to carry our luggage. Caution is advised when driving there with your own car. It might be easier to back up to the cabin first and then drive forward on the steep gravel road, but for our car, that would have been tricky as well. The owner said he'd take it into account in the future. I understood we weren't the first people with this problem. Also, the booking site says there is AC. There is a unit for climate control but the AC isn't connected appearantly so it can get a bit warm, especially in the upper area where the bed is. The stairs to the bed were quite steep and not regular stairs. It can be difficult to get up and down, especially if you are not that mobile. And even though I loved the dogs, I know not everyone is a dog lover. Some people are even afraid. There are lots of neighbourhood dogs walking around freely around the cabin, the parking lot and the road towards the cabin so if you are afraid of dogs, keep this in mind.
