Inkilas

Inkilas was the perfect retreat in nature, the tasteful and thoughtful touches, the exceptional amenities and clever use of space were nothing short of exceptional. We loved the quiet forest, the hammocks amongst the trees, the location in Labanoras Forest with gorgeous walks down to the lake, the birdsong, the evenings and the mornings with nothing to do except connect with nature. We will be back, thank you!

As others have mentioned, this is an off-grid stay and the supplied water is treated. Although safe for drinking and washing there is a slight odour or taint which may be a little off putting for some. I live off grid full time so am not too worried about such things, but others may wish to bring drinking water.

Peacefulness

The stay was incredible. The place is secluded enough to escape all city noise, yet easy to reach with clear, friendly, and genuinely helpful communication from the hosts. Check-in was effortless: everything was explained in advance, and you could arrive whenever it suited you, which added a welcome sense of freedom. The surroundings were exactly what you hope for in a quiet retreat. Silence, forest, and that crisp stillness when frost covers the trees, bushes, and grass. We even spotted wildlife traces—just footprints, but enough to remind you how far you are from the city rush. Inside, the comfort exceeded expectations. The bed was warm and comfortable, the housing spotless, and the overall atmosphere immediately cozy. We appreciated all the thoughtful touches: outdoor lights, tea, coffee, even honey, and a well-equipped wood-cabin aesthetic that felt intentional and harmonious. Firewood was prepared in advance (we only had to split it into smaller pieces), and the kitchen had everything we needed—more than enough, actually. There was even an outdoor grill in case the mood struck. We spent part of the weekend visiting the observatory, and the rest was devoted to slow, cozy activities: board games, some work (the connection was appropriately weak for a forest stay), long talks, wine, and just enjoying the peace. For us, the whole atmosphere was wonderfully romantic. All in all, it was a surprising and truly amazing weekend getaway—one we would happily repeat.

Everything was simply perfect – for those looking for peace and true relaxation, this is the best possible choice. In winter, the cozy atmosphere is especially enhanced by the small stove with a warm fire and the new sauna with a wonderful big and round window overlooking the winter forest. It truly makes you want to come back again and again :) The hosts are very friendly and respectful of privacy, yet always ready to help and answer any questions if needed.

Nothing – everything was great.

Cabane perdue au fond des bois, très bien pour ceux qui veulent se couper du monde

Confort très rudimentaire, pas de wifi, accès pas forcément évident, un peu trop petit pour être à deux sans se marcher dessus, et quand il pleut il y a peu d'autre solution.
