Balkans Serendipity - Artistic forest house

Welcome to Balkans Serendipity – a soulful forest retreat where nature, creativity, and connection meet.

Nestled in a peaceful 250-year-old Balkan forest, this cozy cottage is more than just a stay – it’s a space to slow down, reconnect, and savor life’s simple joys. Perfect for mindful travelers, nature lovers, musicians, families who appreciate nature, and creatives seeking rest, inspiration, or a break from city life.

The fully equipped chalet feels like your own forest home. Inside, you’ll find three cozy bedrooms, a sunny reading nook, a warm fire-lit kitchen, and a tea, coffee & music system installed in the house for soulful moments. Movie nights with the projector bring everyone together after long days outdoors.

Step outside to a garden with panoramic views, a kid-friendly splash pool, BBQ, and a clay pizza oven – ideal for starlit dinners and long summer evenings. Whether you're playing, creating, or simply soaking in the quiet, this space invites presence and ease.

We care deeply about the land and your experience. The home is cleaned with eco-friendly, chemical-free products and infused with heart and intention. It’s pet-friendly too – your furry companions are welcome.

Getting here is part of the adventure.
From Tryavna or Gabrovo, the road is easy, but the final 4-minute stretch through the village is unpaved and a bit bumpy. Most guests (99%) drive all the way to the house, while a few prefer to park by the village spring and take the scenic 200-meter walk.

Whether you're here for quiet mornings, pizza by starlight, or meaningful moments with loved ones.
