Ski-in/Ski-out vacation rentals in Balkan Mountains

Atanaska's house is the perfect base for skiing in Bansko or for hiking in Rila or Pirin. The house is close to the mountains, but located in a beautiful, quiet small village. The views from the balconies are breathtaking. The house itself is very modern and charming and has everything you might need during your stay. Atanaska is a wonderful host. She gave us very clear instructions and was always available to answer questions about the area. I recommend the house highly and look forward to our next stay.

Very nice, big and clean house. The place to eat is separate from the house, which is also convenient. The place is communicative and downtown, close to shops and restaurants. Borislav is a very welcoming host.

Amazing place! I 100% recommend it! Big spacious chalets equipped with absolutely everything! I loved it!

Very nice and clean location. The host was extremely friendly and told us everything we had to know. The place is very well equipped and comfortable. Easy access to slope. We will come again for sure

A Magical Stay in the Heart of Pamporovo – Highly Recommended! Our stay at Joseph’s Luxury Villa in the Pines was simply amazing! From the start, Joseph was a fantastic host—warm, responsive, and incredibly helpful. The villa is a hidden gem, nestled in a peaceful area yet close to the ski lifts. We were looking for a cozy retreat in the snow, and this place was perfect! The fully functional fireplace made our evenings extra special. The house is well-equipped, comfortable, and surrounded by stunning mountain views. Joseph provided great recommendations, from local markets to ski spots, and even helped us find accommodation for our friends. The pet-friendly policy was a huge plus, and we truly appreciated the thoughtful hospitality. We loved every moment here and can’t wait to return—perhaps in summer to enjoy the different charm of this place. Highly recommend for anyone seeking a peaceful and cozy escape in Pamporovo!

The acomodation was great. Clean, tidy, warm and welcoming

We enjoyed Casa din Poiana and plan to return to this beautiful location. House is well maintained and equipped with everything you need. Oana answered all our questions and was of great help.

The house is very well appointed, welcoming, beautifully updated with all modern conveniences. It is located in a spectacular natural setting with amazing views of the Bucegi Mountains, offering a peaceful and relaxing stay. The communication with Ioana was excellent and we only wish we could stay for a longer time.

The accommodation is in a beautiful town a few minutes' drive from Peles Castle. Super nice and friendly host, available for any information. Perfect accommodation, clean and equipped with all the comforts!

We came back again shortly after, place was perfectly cleaned and as if we never left.

Cozy apartment equipped with everything you need for a ski vacation. Responsive host. Excellent location.

Dimitar's apartment is laid out over 2 storeys on the top floor of an apartment block. It has a balcony that fills the kitchen with morning sun. It is comfortable and peaceful. There is a spacious ground floor with a wood stove and comfy armchairs, a bar and pool table where people meet. I enjoyed playing chess with some of the locals there. There is also a really nice sauna and swimming pool. Dimitar recommended we use Totem ski for hiring equipment which is extremely conveniently located near the gondola and only a short walk from the apartment. So we kept our ski equipment there over night. We found Bansko generally to be a fun destination. The locals are unpretentious and the area is laid back. The gondolas, lifts and mountain bars made skiing easy. The landscape itself is a real pleasure with woodland between pistes filled with the paw prints of foxes and rabbits. Apparently in the summer there are bears!!! ps I would recommend speaking to Bobi at Sankiyski about skiing lessons.

The accommodation is very close to the ski slopes, which we were particularly interested in. In the apartment we had all the desired comfort, space, light, view. The host was ready to contact us in no time when we had any concerns. Recommend!

The apartment was nice and clean. It has everything you need, with fully equipped kitchen. The location is perfect, literally 3 min by foot to the Gondola lift. Reni was very responsive and ready to help. We would definitely come back!

Ivan apartment is very spacious , and has everything you need for a comfortable stay , it’s 20 min of walking to the city centrum and in a quiet area with parking, great value for monay

Great place to stay, perfect location. Pool, hot tub and sauna was great after a day of skiing. Close to gondola and restaurants in town.

I enjoyed my stay here at this location. It is very close to nearby hiking trails that connect up to the the high mountain. It is a little far from the center for the Sunday farmers market but is very quiet at night. There was some unexpected construction on the property during the last week of my stay to install reliable internet into every house. The property lists that it includes a/c but there are no a/c units or fans in the house. Also note that there are no screens on the windows to prevent bugs from entering the house when open. Luckily Bansko doesn't have too many bugs and it is fairly cool at night even during June and early July. Other than these minor things I enjoyed my stay here and would certainly book the home again.

Alexandra’s place is a lovely place to stay. It can be confusing to find. To clarify, pass the Pension Ayana and take a right before the green garbage cage. Then take the first left onto a gravel road. The parking space to the left of the shed. Alexandra will give you the code to offer access. We loved Alexandra’s recommendation of hikes (lacul mia) and restaurant conacul radacinilor (lovely) Pension Ayana was ok: the pizza was terrible but the wiener schnitzel was good. I was interested in other things to eat but it would take the chef an hour to make. As it was, there was a 40 minute wait. The triangle house was clean, charming and well designed. It has a fire pit, barbecue and a jacuzzi. It was lovely and deserves its 5 stars. Thank you Alexandra!

Great location, it is on the ski slope by the ski lift, truly ski in/ ski out. A bit noisy during the day due to music from the après-ski nearby, but quiet after 10 PM. Private tourist cars are not allowed in the resort, only local residents, so you either pay about $10/day at the parking lot at the entrance of the resort (and haul all your equipment to the lodging, or have Florin come over with his car), or you leave it in Lupeni at the parking at base of the telegondola (currently free of charge), and arrange for transportation to Straja (Florin can also provide this service for a cost). Florin is a very friendly host. I recommend coming over in February, or even better March, when snow is plentiful and most, if not all trails will be open. Overall, a good place to spend a few days skiing.

We had an amazing stay. It looked even better than the pictures , the view and the house were incredible . It’s is a very cozy and peaceful location. Had a fun time waking around as well, enjoying our morning coffee on the terrace and an incredible view to the sunset over the mountains. The host was very responsive and super friendly .

Best place, I have ever been in Bulgaria within 3 years. Host Plamen is extremely friendly, polite and helpful guy. Location and house are cozy. Inside everything was clean and you may find a lot of cute details. Amazing nature and surroundings. This place deserves more than 5/5. Definitely will visit this place again. Best wishes to Plamen. You did great.
