About this property

Spectacular ski chalet by the Bran Castle

Spectacular log home on the outskirts of the forest, The Carpathian Log Home offers comfortable accomodation on three levels. The ground floor comprises of a high ceiling living room with fireplace and glass facade to the valley bellow, open plan modern and fully equiped kitchen, a dining room area for 10, a spacious bedroom with ensuite full bathroom, sauna and jacuzzi. The ground floor is surrounded by a large terrace, offering magnificent views to the mountains and the valley.

The first floor comprises of two large bedrooms with ensuite bathrooms and own terrace, while on the third floor there's a bedroom with ensuite bathroom and a gym area with breathtaking views.

The house is surrounded by an apple orchard and green pastures, Bucegi Mts on the east side, Piatra Craiului Mts on the west side, at north is the valley above Bran and you can see the Rasnov Fortress in the far back.

Outside you will find a wooden gazebo near the bbq area, a wooden swing for your relaxing afternoons while enjoying the sights. The villa gets sun all day long and the privacy of the area is perfect for sunbathing. Being situated on a very high position, near the forest line, the Carpathian Log Home is rather isolated from the main village. You won't be disturbed by any noise here, perhaps only the cow bells will break the silence. At night you can see the lights of the village bellow, while the star lights will seem closer than ever from here.

There are many hiking trails in the area, starting from the small villages of Bran and going all the way up to the peaks, but you can also just walk around and never get bored. The Bran area is also perfect for cycling, mountain biking or more off road adventures.

The local ski slope is only a 5 minutes drive from the house, but the famous Poiana Brasov with its modern slopes is also very close, only a 15 minutes drive on a very scenic road.

Important note: If you're going to rent a car, I highly recommend renting a 4wd car, Dacia Duster is a very good option for these roads. The last 200 meters to the house are steep and unpaved, it can be challenging to make it all the way up without 4wd. If you don't mind parking 200 meters down the road, then don't worry about 4wd.

Lovely cabin in scenic area
Cabin was lovely. Host was amazing. Bit of a drive to the skii resorts (25 to 30min), but tons to do close by. Just down the road from Bran Castle and close to Dino Parc which is great. Would definitely recommend.

Soul cleansing!
We stayed here in November, the drive getting there has many scenic routes with the beautiful views of the mountains. I would recommend taking a sat nav, but don't worry if you get lost here because the scenery is totally worth it. The log cabin is absolutely beautiful, it is set in a dramatic back drop of the carpathian mountains. Only a few minutes away from Bran Castle. It's is also not to far to Brasov too. I cannot express how much I enjoyed the stay in this place. If you need to refresh your soul and want to get away for peace and scenery this is the place to go. The cabin was clean had everything you need for the kitchen to cook anything you require. The bed was the best bed I've ever slept in. Sofas were comfortable too. Romania as a whole is a fantastic country, most people spoke English and everyone was very helpful. Emma and her partner were very helpful especially with the logs for the fire and with info on places to visit. For star gazing it was magical as you can clearly see the constellations and we even saw many shooting stars We will defiantly be going back to this place again next year.

Highly recommended Amazing house
The house in reality was much more beautiful than the pictures. We were a group of 13 people- 6 adults and 7 children, Emma brought us two more mattresses for the children, although in the end we did not need tham because we the living room sofas can be opend to double beds. The house equipped with everything you need, even games for kids, smart TV, eating utensils, dishwasher, washing machine, towels, sheets, comfortable and large beds , a large dining table we could all sit down and eat together, refrigerator, oven, stove, outside was a barbecue, and much more ... In short, everything we needed. The house is a few minutes drive from Dracula Castle , supermarket and restaurants. Emma did everything she could to make us feel at home, and we strongly recommend you to get there.

About the host

Host profile image
I'm a nature lover and a world traveler. I've been using the site as a traveler before and I loved the whole experience, so I thought about listing my home as well. It is a beautiful log home in the mountains, with spectacular views in and out. It's been decorated with love and natural materials, for a relaxing, comfortable living. This is where I live and you will find here bits of my life and personality. I trust you will find it as homey and warm as I do and you will want to come back sometime:) Enjoy your staying in Bran and my home.

What makes this property unique
