You know what? From today, it is officially legal to walk with your head in the clouds. The best part is that no one can blame you for anything. We even have the exact address where you can do all this. And with your feet firmly on the ground. So if the opponents of castles in the air start to hyperventilate, send them to us. To the magical and fairytale Podpoľanie. We have the Chaty v oblokoch here.
There are two of them. We have placed them at the highest point on our meadows and pastures. Thanks to which you will be able to fully enjoy the view of the Low Tatras and Poľana, but also the Cerová vrchovina, Šomoška and Mátra... or the night sky unobstructed by city lights. Sometimes horses from our neighbors' farm, sheep, cows can also creep into the view. Here in Podpoľanie, life flows in rhythm with nature. Here you can slow down, do nothing and listen to your soul. And we wish that your only "worry" here in Podpoľaní will be whether you will laze around with a book in your hand or where you will go to explore this region on a hike. You can fit four or five people here (ideally 3 adults + 2 children), but feel free to come and enjoy the romance as a couple.
It is so beautiful here that we cannot help but invite you to our place... for a sky full of stars, fresh air, or a pile of snow in winter. And last but not least, for the magic of Podpoľaní and the lazov.
There are two cottages in the clouds. On the same plot, like a neighbor. But of course, with plenty of privacy. And as a bonus, you will have that view...
Both cottages are the same, both outside and inside. The difference in the interior is only in small color details.
And inside it looks like this:
- living room with kitchenette (here you will find a sofa bed)
- separate bedroom with a view of the hills and terrace (double bed)
- loft (2 mattresses; we primarily designed it for younger guests so they have somewhere to hide. Watch out for heads, it is low here!)
- bathroom with shower and separate toilet
- terrace (40m2)
We have also provided parking for 2 cars for each cottage.
Each cottage can accommodate a maximum of 5 people. You can rent them separately or both as a larger group (max. 10 people).
WELLNESS & TENNIS
We thought that when you are with us, you might also welcome some other kind of relaxation.
So you will have a choice:
- lazing on a deck chair with a book in your hand or just looking at our beloved Podpoľanie
- relaxation in a heated tub with bubbles, which is open from March to November. If you are interested in swimming, you need to let us know at least 2 days in advance.
- tennis court with artificial grass
LOCAL PRODUCTS
Otherwise, all lovers of the natural power of herbs can get goodies for physical body care, such as bath salts or herbal ointments. Alternatively, you can visit our neighbors - Statok na výšiny and pamper yourself with herbal products directly from them.
Each cottage has its own kitchenette equipped with all the necessary appliances, so reign here at the behest of your taste buds. If you would like to improve your skills, you will find a fireplace with seating, a grill and we will be happy to lend you a goulash kettle.
HOMEMADE & LOCAL PRODUCTS FROM PODPLĽANIA
We would just like to add that you can also replenish your supplies with our homemade or local products. For example, various jams, fresh and dried fruits, fragrant syrups and juices, various types of honey, but also herbs.
We have already mentioned the hot tub and tennis court. That's what you will find right on site.
But since not everyone needs a deck chair and a good book in their hand, or short walks around the area, to relax, we are packing a few interesting tips in your backpack:
#CYCLING
Of course, two wheels! And to 2 we add another number, namely: 320. That's how many kilometers of cycling trails you can find in Podpoľaně. The most important one is the 127 km long circuit around Poľana for mountain bikes.
#HOURLIFE
You will find several footpaths and hiking trails here in Podpoľaně. If you don't dare to do anything challenging, try the route from Hriňová to the Bystrý potok waterfall, which falls from a height of 20 meters and is a national natural monument. The route will take you to the Poľana mountain hotel and further to Príslopy. If you want to see the surrounding hills, head to the Katruška and Zbojnícky tanec viewpoints.
#HORSE RIDING
Even lovers of seeing the world from horseback will not be left out. We have great neighbors who have horses on their ranch. So if you feel like going on some horseback rides, let us know. And take the kids here to see the ponies.
#AGROTURISTICS
Not only here, you will come across an orchard with almost 300 fly agaric trees. Our neighbors on the slopes are also good at what they do. You can go on a trip to an herb farm or to goat, sheep, horse or cattle breeders. Ask, we will direct you.
#WINTER SPORTS
Pack your sled and go down the hills. Want more? So we will provide you with information about cross-country skiing trails (Látky-Mláky resort) and where to go for the ski slopes (Zerrenpach-Látky resort).
#HRIŇOVÁ AND HRIŇOVSKÉ LAZY
Lazy is part of the Poľana Biosphere Reserve and let's face it, everyone likes it here :) It is also worth taking a look at Štefan Nosáľ's wooden house in Hriňová - get ready for traditional folk culture and architecture right in the center of Hriňová. If you want to go there, we recommend that you find out if craft workshops are organized here. Who knows, you might be lucky enough to catch the germ of some disappearing folk craft :)
#NIKULÁŠ ESTERHÁZY NATURAL TRAIL
Trace the footsteps and history of glass in the village of Detvianska Huta. It will lead you through unique spa settlements with a view of the wild Poľana to the Mikuláš spring or to the preserved glass tunnel for quartz mining.
#NATURAL CLIMBING WALL
Kalamárka near Detva with the Kaľamárka nature trail
What’s there for children?
Although our cottages are designed for older children, you can safely come to us with younger ones. However, you should know that we do not have a space adapted for the little ones and you have to keep an eye on them. And definitely keep an eye on them on the terrace. We do have ropes here, but they are not intended for your Tarzans :)
With us, we have it under the brand: playing with nature and in nature.
That is why you will not find any trampolines, climbing frames or children's corners here. Instead, take your little ones outside to collect pine cones and arrows, go tracking wild animals, or picking mushrooms or gather branches to light a fire.
What’s there for employees?
If you want to work, we will not discourage you. It will be best for you at a spacious kitchen table, where you can comfortably spread out and have the necessary caffeine within reach :)
