Villas in Burtnieki

Perfect location, nearby lake with nice beach. The cottage has all amenities and can accommodate a larger number of people. All utensils are available in the kitchen. Extremely nice hosts who were took care of their guests. In the summer I would recommend putting ice in the freezer.

Absolutely beautiful location in a Latvian countryside. Just the right size for a family of 4, and very comfortable. We didn’t use the facilities of sauna or jacuzzi, but the host set us up the fireplace and we spent amazing evening there.

Dubavi is a little house full of history on the edge of town, the people living there passed away and it’s still full of books, vinyls and even a piano belonging to the others. The daughter is the one managing the property now and she was really lovely and welcoming. If you want the feeling of staying in an old family home and of travelling back in time this place is for you.

Really nice family house. Some personal touch and everything you may need. Well equipped kitchen. Comfy beds. Games and plays for kids. Would stay here again.

The place was beautiful and spacious. We especially enjoyed the lovely terrace, the sauna, and the hot tub – it made the stay extra relaxing and enjoyable. Communication with the hosts was quick, easy, and very friendly.

Visited with group of friends and we all enjoyed our stay. House was clean and had all the amenteties. Great sauna and amazing view to the lake. Host was friendly and left us welcoming gifts when checking in. Thanks!

Excellent place in a wonderful place. So peaceful and lovely view. Thank you very much.

We had whole house, the terrace was great to have breakfast in. Comfy beds and separate rooms made our stay great. It was surprising that the house had only one toilet and one shower. The toilet was downstairs. Check in was flexible. Great stay! Close to wonderful Valmiermuiža.

Perfect for families, perfect location to discover the nationalpark

You absolutely NEED to visit this place if you like to cozy it up outside the city. The pictures don't really do the place justice - the rooms are so well thought out by the host (who you'll meet). There are lots of cool design elements that aren't just basic "scandi" (which I also really like). The house is separate from the host's home, which is next door. There are a few other houses in the small gardening community. There is plenty of privacy but none of the eeriness that comes with being in a cabin without anyone around (I know that some love the total solitude, but I kind of don't). Valmiera has large supermarkets and was only a 15-20 minute drive away. We also took day trips to Sigulda, the drive was a little less than an hour. Cesis and Rakši Zoo are also less than an hour a way. So the cottage: the sleeping quarters are small and cozy, the living spaces are spacious, including the bathroom. There is plenty of space to hang out both inside and outside. We especially appreciated the second-floor reading area - the lounge chair with soft pillows is now a dream for our own home. You can also cook basically anything that doesn't require an oven. There is also a charcoal grill, you can get charcoal from the shop. The coffee machine was great. The cottage has a pond next to it, not for swimming but for observing frogs. It was our favourite pastime. We also went walks in the beautiful state forest, even got some mushrooms. The host has also built lots of birdhouses all over the property, so there is a lot of hustle and bustle to observe all day long. If you are lucky, you'll get to meet the cutest most excitable dog as well, but this is not a must if you are wary. There are also some local secrets the host may share if once you've settled in. All in all, it was a big step up from what we expected, and we would really love to go back. This would be the perfect place for a reading retreat, for example.
