A family farm
at 640 metres
Marko and Ana live in the farmhouse at the bottom of the meadow. Tina and Luka grew up here and came back to run the cabins with them.
Hay meadow
since 1962
Marko's grandfather bought the meadow in 1962 for hay and twelve cows. The cows went in 2009; we still cut the hay every July, around the cabins.
Marko built the first cabin, Macesen, in 2014, from larch felled on our slope and dried for two winters in the barn. Jelka, the sixth, was finished in 2021. He did the carpentry; a local roofer laid the metal.
We let them ourselves, with no agency and no booking site, so the price you see is the price you pay and the person who answers your email is the one who lights the sauna.
The valley
Bohinj is the quiet end of the Julian Alps: a glacial lake four kilometres long, the Sava Bohinjka running out of it, and Triglav National Park on three sides.
