About this property
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.

My husband and I moved to this area eight years ago and instantly fell in love with this house. Over time, he lovingly renovated it by hand, from the furniture and decor to the new rooms, all crafted by us and close friends. We truly believe that spaces made with care and intention can deeply elevate the experience of those who stay in them.
We genuinely enjoy hosting and hope that every guest leaves feeling happy, recharged, and inspired.
The house is tucked away in a peaceful forest filled with gentle deers, curious rabbits, and a magical spring with the purest water we’ve ever tasted. It's a kind and quiet place that invites rest and reflection.
We're new to this platform and excited to welcome guests to our forest home. We hope you’ll come, enjoy, and feel the positive energy that lives in this special place.
