- Baboi (5/5): - Mi a plăcut curățenie!! Nu mi-a plăcut ca am specificat ca suntem doui adulți și un copil si patul nu a fost ce trebuie pt trei persoane si nici nu este suficient de mare pt doua persoane în rest peisajul nu arata ca în poza🫣

- Giulia Costa Barbè (7/5): - Cabins are new, super clean and very cozy. Being able to light a fire by the river was a lovely experience. The bbq area and the kitchenette are very nice The camp site is located close to the main road. Unfortunately, the trees surrounding the area were completely cut down leaving the camp site exposed and covered with wooden debris.
A lot of people camp and grill along the river nearby giving you no privacy.
- Ahmad (10/5): -
- Alicia (10/5): - Un lugar muy tranquilo en el que pasar varios días, tienes de todo en la cabaña.
Además tienes el río y la naturaleza al lado y transmite mucha paz. Ideal para desconectar. Las llaves de la cabaña no iban bien del todo.
Por la noche había unas luces en el exterior que daban justo a la cama y te costaba dormir porque no sabíamos cómo se apagaban.
- Elisabeth (10/5): Erholung in der Natur - Erholung pur! Wir hatten eine super Zeit. Es ist direkt am Fluss gelegen & man fühlt sich sehr mit der Natur verbunden. Wir waren wirklich traurig als wir wieder abreisen mussten
- Kateryna (9/5): Дуже добре для відпочинку під вечір, вдень трохи заважають авто. - Дуже чисто, є все необхідне для відпочинку. На фото не видно, що розташування під дорогою. Було літо, і траса була жвава, тому було багато авто, що трошки заважали.
- Mario (10/5): Beautiful - Everything was perfect
- Yana (10/5): Awesome - Great location, tranquility and comfort by the river… everything you need for preparing meals and enjoying nature is available at the cabin 🙂
- Daniel (9/5): Superb -
- Tatiana (10/5): Exceptional -
- Ioana (10/5): Exceptional -
- Emma (9/5): Superb - Very high spec cabins by a river in the foothills of the Transfagarasan pass. The owners were extremely responsive and helpful, and the cabins very clean and decorated to a high specification. An electric fence protects the cabins from bears, which is very necessary in this area, and gives a good feeling of security. The air conditioning and mosquito nets on the windows were a particular luxury for us, as we were staying during a heatwave.! While the cabins are equipped with basics (soap, washing up liquid, coffee etc), it would have been helpful to maybe have a few more basics for the kitchen, so that each guest didn't need to bring their own every time - e.g. salt, pepper, oil etc. The cabins are located on the side of a road. This makes them easy to spot, and any noise frim the road is drowned out by the river, but it is worth being aware of nevertheless, as it means it is not a totally secluded location.
- Joaniea (9/5): Very very peaceful - Very peaceful, you can make BBQ, fire, and enjoy the birds and the river. The cabin is well equipped, very clean and modern, love it ! Also the host responded fast and was really nice when we had questions. Too much lights at night around the camp and thin curtains. The instructions for the arrival weren't totally complete and the address on this website isn't right, we had to Google it.
- Dariia (10/5): Exceptional - Amazing host, beautiful nature and cute cabin, which has everything you need for a comfortable stay. Loved it!
- Andrei (10/5): Cozy intimate perfect nature place - Cozy, intimate quiet place. It was great having the river next to us. Great place if you want to spend a night here before crossing the Transfagarasan. Absolutely recommend it!
- Avidan (7/5): Nice experience - Nice experience, nice and quiet place. We were two couples alone at the place.
Not for families Not enough hot water.
The wifi didn't work
The kitchen is outside and can't be used in the winter.
- Daniel (8/5): Very good -
- Bellu (10/5): Most serene place on booking - Everything, the most beautifully and perfect stay I have ever been to! Nothing
- Filip (10/5): A perfect, cozy cabin for a romantic and peaceful weekend. - The location is stunning, situated near the Arges River. You can hear the soothing sound of the river from inside if you open the window—a truly calming experience. The host was very friendly and responsive. The cabin is cozy, well-equipped, and has everything you need for a wonderful stay. There's even a barbecue, complete with everything you need to make a fire for a great outdoor experience.
- Kobbi (10/5): amazing - a very special place to rest before or after crossing the transfagarsan.
every cabin is made of 2 cabins one for sleeping and one for kitchen plus swing plus jacuzzi. total 2 family can be stay.
very clean. aircon too.
contact by WhatsApp. the jacuzzi takes time to heat up so you can ask the oner to power it on for you before arriving like 8 hours or so.
- Inbal (10/5): Exceptional - Perfect place! Truly a paradise! We had a great time and wish we could stay longer The wifi was very weak, but we were told it was because of a storm so I believe they will fix it
- Robert (10/5): Exceptional -
- Alexandra (10/5): Exceptional -
- Diana (10/5): Wonderful location for a nature escape -
- Diana (10/5): Exceptional -
- Emmeke (9/5): Superb - It was a really nice place, but you need to accept that it is rather close to the road. We had a lovely couple of nights, bathing in the very cold river! The cabin is comfortable and communication is good. And buy your bread in Albesti!
- Kamile (10/5): Great cabins - Cosy brand new cabins on a river side, close to all attractions. The road is quite close, but river sounds helps to keep the feeling of being in the nature.
- Boris (10/5): Exceptional - Very nice house with all you need. To add kitchen sink to the summer kitchen
- Daniil (10/5): Exceptional - Absolutely amazing! Everything you need!
- Lidia (10/5): Exceptional - The nature around, river, the place is beautifull .
- Verena (10/5): Highly recommended stay in the heart of nature - Absolutely loved the place, next to the river, very well equipped and incredibly clean. In the heart of Transfaragasan, with everything you need for a cosy stay. You have your own tiny house, your own sitting places and BBQ place.
