Hunter's Lodge

A mountain hideaway in the Carpathian foothills, near Bran

The retreat

A wooden lodge, high in a hidden valley

Hunter's Lodge sits above the village of Dâmbovicioara, tucked into a green valley below the Piatra Craiului mountains, a short drive from Bran and its castle.

It is warm timber and open fire, a porch that looks straight onto the pastures, and the deep quiet of the mountains, the kind of place you come to disappear for a few days.

Inside

Timber, fire and long evenings

Warm wood and soft light: a living room gathered around a stone fireplace, hunting-lodge character on every wall, and comfortable bedrooms under the eaves.

A long table set for slow dinners, with the valley framed in the windows.

Outside

A porch over the pastures

A covered porch and veranda look straight onto the valley, with a fire pit and a grill for the evenings when the air turns cool.

This is where the days end, with the stars coming out over the ridge.

The setting

Below Piatra Craiului

The Piatra Craiului national park, the Dâmbovicioara gorge and its cave, and Bran castle are all close by. This is walking country, quiet and wild, an easy reach from Brasov yet a world away.
