A hospital for burnt-out creatives, a sanatorium for bosses with a tic in the eye, a spa for the soul, a rest for the ears, rehabilitation of damaged parents, and on top of that, romance like crazy.
Botanical Cottage is wild and rough on the outside, but on the inside…oh, on the inside! Well, that's a complete fairy tale. Aleš discovered this beauty in its prime by complete accident and decided to restore it as a gift for his wife. And he started by literally knocking out almost an entire wall to make room for a giant window, which he fantastically relaxes by. It leads to nature. And not just any. Tiny House Botanical cottage is located near Krásná Lípa in Bohemian Switzerland.
It's actually a kind of "glamping with benefits". Everything you expect from a Tiny House glamping experience is here: privacy, tranquility, connection with nature, warmth and comfort. But you still have access to the larger and older sister of the aforementioned maringotka, the fantastically furnished wellness cottage Bohemian Cottage. Here you can use a full bathroom, wellness, outdoor swimming in the lake, a dining room, and maybe Grandma Irenka will even bake you buns. So what do you think?
The entire maringotka area is adapted to work and rest. The wide double bed is right next to the large window with a beautiful view of the forest. Comfortable mattresses, luxurious linen and soothing sounds of nature, this is a proven recipe for a proper rest.
So that you can come to us even in winter, the maringotka is heated by an electric fireplace with a flame. And because it's tiny, it's warmed up before you take off your gloves.
A long (work) space with a calming view can really serve work, but also reading, drawing or planning the future. Such a pleasant sitting area easily fit into the Tiny House Botanical garden, as we did not have to sacrifice part of its space to the bathroom and dining room, as is usually the case. You can use both in full splendor in our guesthouse, to which the maringotka belongs. You will love the construction from the turn of the 19th and 20th centuries. The equipment comes exclusively from the hands of Czech craftsmen, and all the glass and porcelain are also of Czech origin.
ECOLOGICAL SLOW TRAVEL ACCOMMODATION
We do everything to make our carbon footprint as little visible as possible. We live ecologically. The entire building has its own deep well for water and a root wastewater treatment plant. We also treat our garden and beds with medicinal herbs in accordance with natural principles and with love. You will know this when you taste our herbal tea. You can drink it, for example, in the hallway by the fireplace or on a lounger on the terrace. It will also come in handy after a visit to the Meditační lipa yoga hall, where we regularly organize courses and workshops.
GLAMPING WITH A KITCHEN AREA…
Part of the maringotka is a kitchenette. Here you can prepare a simple snack for a trip, but you can also prepare something more complex. The kitchen has a fridge, a kettle and a cooker. We will prepare drinking water for you in a barrel, because there is no running water in our experience glamping accommodation. But don't worry. In our guest house, 100 steps from the maringotka, delicious water from our own deep well flows from the tap.
...AND A COMMON KITCHEN
Feel free to use the full-sized (and beautiful) kitchen and dining table on the ground floor of the guesthouse. And to make matters worse, you can also cook in the outdoor kitchen in the garden. And if you want, we can also lend you a grill.
ACCOMMODATION WITH BREAKFAST
We definitely recommend treating yourself to luxury in the form of a breakfast basket from our grandmother Irenka. Fresh pastries from the local bakery, cheeses, hams, homemade eggs in a hundred ways, seasonal vegetables, farm butter, homemade spreads, jams, nuts, tea and coffee - all this will be waiting in thermos containers right outside the door of the maringotka. The contents of the basket are always different depending on what regional producers and local growers have to offer us. We can accommodate vegetarians, vegans, gluten-free and lactose-free. Just say. But even dieters should make an exception and enjoy grandma's cakes and buns. You are on vacation after all. So allow yourself to.
The basket is usually enough for breakfast for up to 4 people, so if there are only two of you, you have snacks for trips for the whole day. And if you happen to be missing something, you can reach out to our self-service bar at any time.
The Czech Switzerland National Park is really worth exploring. Everyone knows Pravčická gate, but I, Aleš, your host and tourist guide in one person, have mapped every blade of grass, ravine, rock tower and maze here. I am more than happy to go on a trip with you or advise you on where to find treasures that remain hidden to the untrained tourist eye.
ACCOMMODATION WITH WELLNESS ZONE
After a challenging trip, our natural wellness zone will come in handy. The Finnish sauna for 6 people will warm up your stiff muscles. In winter, you can cool off by jumping into our natural lake in the garden. Of course you can in the summer too, but in the winter it's even more difficult! There is a great swimming barrel with a hot tub by the lake (so-called hottube). You can also fit 6 there and in winter it is the best relaxation with a view of beautiful nature. And if you're in the mood for a proper massage, we can arrange that too.
If you want to work out, we will let you know what classes will be taking place in our yoga room during your stay. Alternatively, you can rent it for yourself and organize your own exercise or dance course.
In the summer, we lend you beach chairs and umbrellas and you can spend beautiful afternoons by the water. Sit with a coffee on a bench in the garden or stretch out with a book in one of our hammocks. And when you've really relaxed and recharged your batteries, rent a bike or e-bike and head out into nature.
What’s there for children?
The Tiny House is ideal for 2 adult overnight guests. But who says you can't accommodate children, for example, with grandparents in our Bohemian Cottage guesthouse? With us, children rediscover the joy of nature, of running in the garden and walking in the forest. In the summer, they spend the day in the pond and playing on the grassy beach by the water. In winter, we can lend you all skis, cross-country skis or even snowshoes.
The little ones play during the day on the sandpit in the shade of the trees, and thanks to the fact that we lend you a comfortable carrier on your back, they can also take part in all the trips. It goes without saying that children's equipment, a chair, a cot and barriers for the stairs, so that even parents can enjoy a proper rest.
What’s there for employees?
If you don't need Wi-Fi for work, you'll get more than enough done here. The ability to get into a state of deep concentration is most suited to strategists and creative minds. Even artists may catch up with the muse that has been hiding from them for so long. Work in complete silence in a maringotka at the table, or on the grass in the garden, surrounded by the hum of the natural elements.
