Retreat into nature of the northern Ukraine with an endless forest, a lake and a beautiful river steps away. The room you will be staying in is small but has everything one needs to rest well or work productively. The space is bright as sun rises and stays all through out the day. There is small library in your room offering a wonderful selection of books in both Ukrainian and English. The space The house was build in the last quarter of the twentieth century by our great grand parents and grandparents. We have moved here from a neighboring village called Hotunychi. Our home has always been filled with guests and now that our family has gotten smaller we are curious to welcome people from afar to provide a home away from home. Our friends and family always highlight the comforting energy that we create for them and now, in such challenging times, we believe there is a need for everyone to get away to a safe place, where mind and body can rest. You will be able to walk out to our small garden in all seasons with a cup of coffee and enjoy laying on the lounge chair, reading or listening to birds. A lake and forest is 10 min away by foot. A river is 15 min away. You may use our bikes to explore the outskirts of town and surrounding villages. Upon your arrival you can ask for advice of where to go to explore surrounding nature. Guest access You will be welcomed in our living room, where you can enjoy a cup of tea while warming by the wood stove on a snowy day or chilly evening. There are plentiful table games, musical instruments, books. You may borrow yoga mats and things for stretching. You will have access to a fully equipped kitchen where we offer a wide selection of teas and other necessities. There is an outside bench by the shed where we store wood where you can spend time. In front of the house there is a small garden where you can rest on a loungechair. During your stay Your host, Marina, speaks Ukrainian and very little English.
