On the terrace, a six-seat jacuzzi with mountain views waits in every season, while outside a gazebo is set up for barbecues and dinners that run late into the night. The view does the rest.

What to do beyond the gate.

The Rucăr–Bran pass is full of places to see, from gorges and caves to mountain trails and medieval towns. Here are our favourites.

Bran Castle on its rock, surrounded by trees on a clear day~35 km

The must-see

Bran Castle

The 14th-century fortress known worldwide as “Dracula's Castle” is a short drive from the cabin. Towers, inner courtyards, medieval rooms and a legend that travelled the globe — it deserves a full day.

Our recommendation

Gabila's Sheepfold

A real working sheepfold, with flocks on the meadow and shepherds who still make cheese the way they did a century ago. It is where you see what mountain life looks like, not just the scenery.

Traditional lunch at the sheepfold

On request, we arrange a paid lunch at the sheepfold with products made right there. Tell us when you book and we take care of the rest.

What our guests say

Read our Google reviews
We came for the jacuzzi and stayed for the quiet. The A-frame cabin is gorgeous, and the evenings in the gazebo were the best part of our holiday.
Andreea & Mihai · Family weekend
We took the transfer from Bucharest and didn't have to think about a thing. The terrace jacuzzi facing the mountains was the cherry on top.
Ioana P. · Mountain city break
We charged our EV overnight and drove to Bran the next morning. Spotless, and thought through down to the last detail.
