Hunter's Lodge Check dates
The village of Dambovicioara spread along the valley floor with wooded ridges above it

Dambovicioara · Arges

Above the village, and that is the point

A timber house on the slope, with the whole valley laid out under it and the ridge behind that.

The house is built around what you can see out of it.

Which is why this page keeps opening windows. Five of them, in the order you meet them if you drive up, park, and walk in.
The dark timber lodge on a green slope, a stone path leading up to it and a fence running along the hillside

01

The arrival

The road runs out here

You park on the stone, and the rest of it is uphill on foot. The dark timber roof is the house.

A long built in timber bench on the porch with a red cushion and a lion print pillow, stone floor underneath

02

The porch

Most people never get past this bench

It is built into the wall, it runs the length of the porch, and it faces the hill. The front door can wait.

A stone grill built in the garden with the village and the hillside behind it

The village below the fence, red roofs among the fields, wooded hills beyond
What the fence looks over
A heavy timber mantel with oil lamps on it and a mounted ibex head above, pine beams across the ceiling

03

Inside

Timber, then more timber

Pine overhead, stained beams across it, and a mantel heavy enough that nobody is moving it again.

Mounted antelope and long spiral kudu horns on the living room wall beside a globe and a chess set

Upstairs, on the way to the bedrooms

It is called Hunter's Lodge and it means it.

The walls are not decorated to look the part. Whoever built this house filled it with what they brought back, and then put pine over everything else.

04

The master terrace

One bedroom gets its own door outside

Step through it in the morning and this is what is there. No neighbours in the way.

The children's room with a bunk bed, soft toys lined up on a low shelf and a small icon on the wall

05

The small room

Bunks, and a shelf full of company

The room the children pick first, which saves everybody an argument on the first night.
