Elupuu forest cabin with sauna

Cozy, peaceful and authentic forest cabin by the lake, with a sauna. We welcome people who value peace and wish to maintain harmony in their surroundings and in themselves. A retreat cabin, which is perfect for finding your inner calm and joy (ideal place for meditation, prayer, contemplation...) and connecting with the nature :) [[NB! To maintain the harmonious atmosphere, excess use of alcohol is forbidden in our property, also this is not a place for loud music and parties!]]

On the first floor of the cabin there is an open living room with kitchen, shower, fireplace and a separate room with sauna. On the second floor there are two small bedrooms. The cabin area is 48 m2. There is no TV, since the view from the window is breathtaking and otherwise you might miss the deer or foxes passing by :-) Using the sauna is included in the price of the guesthouse (so do not worry, no extra price).

Firewood is provided inside the house.

Bed linen and towels are included in the price.

The cabin is insulated and can be used all year round (is warm also in winter). The fireplace nicely heats the first floor (and gives also the joy of gazing at it), the second floor can be heated with an electric radiator. I always preheat the cabin for my guests.

For the little guests, there is a high chair, baby travel crib and children's potty.

The guesthouse, with its surrounding clean nature, is like an oasis of wellbeing. There is plenty of space outside of the cabin where quests can let the peace of the forest sink in. Guests can take a walk in the forest, enjoy the warmth of a campfire, have a barbeque, relax in a hammock, pick wild berries and mushrooms from the forest, enjoy the sauna and swim in the pond (or in the winter jump into an ice-hole :) …

This guesthouse is an ideal place for "fruitful doing nothing", for experiencing the moment when time stops.

In the yard there is a BBQ charcoal grill and a campfire site.

Maximum number of guests we are hosting in our guesthouse is 5 (including children, excluding infants).

The hosting family (with four children) lives in a house next to the guesthouse (~60 meters away). We respect the privacy of our guests.

Nearest village is Rõuge (5 km), which is one the most picturesque villages in Estonia. The city of Võru is 11 km from the cabin.

Võru county and South-Estonia offer a wide variety of sightseeing for the nature-lovers (hills, lakes, forest, hiking trails etc.). with its varied landform, diverse landscape and rapidly alternating natural biomes. There are many protected natural features in the area, the largest among these are Haanja National Park and Karula National Park.

During winter season South-Estonia is popular among skiiers (cross-country skiing trails are 10-20 km away) and the snow lovers (so fun to sledge down the hills, snow tubing trails are nearby) .

Some of my favourite places in the area:

Rõuge Primeval Valley, Luhasoo Landscape Reserve, Piusa River Landscape Reserve.

A car/motorcycle is the most convenient way of getting around. Guests can use our personal bikes for getting around (according to a prior agreement if our bikes are available). Bus stop ("Soe") is 1.5 km away.

The cabin has running water (for shower and kitchen) but there is no toilet inside of the house. Guests can use the colourful and decent outhouse, which adds an authentic experience to your stay in the wilderness :-) For children, a potty is provided inside the guesthouse.
