Although the land is hidden, access is extremely easy, the land is situated in a valley between two localities, a valley with plenty of woods and a creek that embraces, caresses our land. The area is known for its health benefits, that due to high content of salt. (Sovata, Praid - Salt LAke and Salt Mine). We are also surrounded by many turistical and historical places, worth visiting.

Unfortunetley Janos canceled our visit 4 days before set arrival date.
Because there were not many jobs to and also because of rainy wether forecasts. ( since we would camp in a tent)
We were already on our way to them, by car from the Netherlands.
This was really a big dissapointment for us.

I had a great experience at this place.
I helped out to build a "Hobbithouse" with natural materials. Maria and Janos are both so kindly and have a warm personality, so you feel welcome very fast.
They support me, whenever they can, even after I got sick.
If you are searching for an outdoor-experience and wanna have some nice trips with the hosts on top on your days off, then I recommend this place definitely for any interested person!
Thanks for knowing you and your family :)
Kind regards, Charlotte
