Small, cousy house in beautifull environment
The house was small with good comfort. The garden (swing, hammoc) was great. The highlights were the hiking oppurtunities directly from the house.

Fantastic Retreat!
Natasa and Sasa were gracious, generous, welcoming hosts. They went above and beyond to make us comfortable and share information about their beautiful country. Iska Retreat is such a special spot. Give yourself a few nights so you have time to settle in, relax and enjoy all the seating areas outside. We wished we had more time.

Ferienhaus in wunderschöner Lage und sehr nette Gastgeber
Der Aufenthalt in der Iska-Schlucht war sehr abwechslungsreich, da die Umgebung sehr viel bietet. Die Hauptstadt ist nah, man kann sehr schön wandern und baden. Das Ferienhaus war sehr sauber und praktisch eingerichtet. Die Gastgeber waren in jeder Hinsicht zuvorkommend, sprechen ausgezeichnet Englisch und Deutsch. Sie halfen uns bei der Planung von Unternehmungen in der Umgebung und standen diskret mit Rat und Tat zur Seite. Vielen Dank für die schönen Tage und viele Grüße von Susanne und Martin

About the host

Hosted by Natasha

Host profile image
We are Nataša and Sašo - a couple of landscape architects who have found sanctuary in the valley of the Iški Vintgar gorge, under the reign of Nature. We have lived in the forest for the last 28 years, exploring the world whenever the opportunity arose.
We are great cooks. Sašo prefers Ayurveda cuisine, whereas Nataša loves to bake bread and pastry using the organic spelt grown in her fields.
We love all animals and Oka and Una cats are a part of our family.

Why they chose this property

Since we have now managed to create a guesthouse in the second house on the large clearing, we invite you to explore nature around.
The garden can function as a place to socialize over food and games. It can also provide the space needed for meditation, seclusion, and rest.

What makes this property unique

The house gets regular visits from deer, and occasionally, even a fox, a marten, or a chamois come to see us. The bear that lives in the woods is kind and only shows himself to our neighbors.
The forest house with the garden is a part of a scattered ecological farm. We work on the fields, the meadow, and the orchard, which are a heritage of the Bela Krajina region, with pleasure and pride.
You may join us at harvest and cook with organic spelt. A special benefit is our organic vegetable garden at the clearing.
