Cottage vacation rentals in Gauja

This place was truly magical! I would give it more stars if possible 🌟 The location was very close to Cēsis and easy to find but also private. The interior was truly outstanding and the outside area is perfect for peaceful rest by the pond and a nice barbecue. The host even provides everything you would need for cooking inside, a nice outdoors bbq and even for the sauna. The inside of the sauna house was also outstanding - you feel like you are a part of the Baltic mythology and can enjoy magical sauna vibes with everything you would need available! 🙌🏻 The host was amazingly helpful and friendly - promtly answered all of our questions. Thank you, Inese! Overall I would recommend this location for any kind of bigger event or small gathering you might have, especially the sauna. I’m definitely going back! 🤍

Absolutely adorable and cozy vacation home with several worthy saunas in a natural setting. We were all thrilled and already want to go back! Raili is super friendly and accommodating!

We had a great time, everything was clean and like in the description. The communication with Gints was also immaculate

This Airbnb experience was just amazing. Valters offered everything we could wish for and more. We had a truly wild experience in the countryside of Latvia. I recommend this Airbnb for everyone and it's now our official Christmas place. We did things like ice skating, cross country skiing, playing with huskies, ice swimming and much more. Book this airbnb for a guaranteed amazing experience. They even got us a Christmas tree (from the wild).

The property was excellent with impressive facilities. We wish we'd had the time to stay for longer so that we could take advantage of them all fully. I'd warmly recommend a visit to anybody that wants a quiet and restful getaway. Laima and her husband were very welcoming and organised hosts. The property was well stocked and the hosts were always proactive in their communication. Thanks again for a great visit!

Simonas place is cosy and with lot of attention to detail with wood features aspecially and we enjoyed the hot tub aswell. Would definatelly recomend.

Great location with private beach. You can use sups to swim around the lake. Very relaxing and quiet place. Host has a house close by, but during our stay nobody was there so we didn’t see a single person around. It was perfect getaway from city, people and technology. House has all you need, there is also a bbq grill outside.

If you want to enjoy the peace and peace and privacy inside the forest, then this stay is a very good choice. Old outside, new inside - all the amenities you need for life are there. The host gives very accurate instructions and it's very easy to find the place. Google maps leads exactly in front of the house. Very satisfied!

We had a very pleasant stay at Inese’s lovely cottage. It was as described on the listing and any of our additional questions were answered quickly and in a friendly manner. Ahead of our stay, we were sent a helpful information sheet. The cottage itself is located in a peaceful place, fairly close to the capital city and other towns nearby. We loved the personal touches (great board games and various extras) throughout the house. The cottage was quick to heat up so absolutely fine for a winter stay. Highly recommend for a peaceful family get away.

We really enjoyed staying at Esta's place. It is located close to the Puka village. Very quiet at night, only birds are heard along the day. Spacious house, and road is of good quality to reach it. Comfortable double sofa and pillows. Our 12 yo daughter slept in the bed. Kitchen full of stuff, and electric stove works excellent. Bathroom is big, shower has strong water pressure. Esta has put chocolate Estonian candies to welcome us, and gifted with dried lavender flowers at check-out 🤩

Matsi Maria is superb place for relaxing! The sea is just few steps away and good for long walks at seaside and in the nature! The Sauna was also super hot 🔥. The hosts were very friendly and welcome! Recommend Matsi Maria for all!

Beautiful place to enjoy the nature and peace.

We were very pleased with our stay at Karlis’ house, which features a charming garden, a cozy terrace, and comfortable upstairs bedrooms. We stayed for three days with our dog, who was warmly welcomed. The nearby forest, with its many scenic trails, was perfect for walks. The peaceful, nature-filled area just outside Riga was ideal for relaxing. The house’s rustic feel, especially on the lower floor, added to its charm. The front door was an unforgettable, authentic detail—it felt like stepping into a Grimm’s fairy tale. The house has been modernized with care, preserving its unique "cigar box" character, especially at the lower floor. Karlis' house is truly a gem, and it was a delight to learn about the artist who once lived there and see his remarkable sculptures still on display.

The house was amazing. We really enjoyed this place. Everything was just perfect, corresponding to the description.

Very pleasant stay. There was everything we could have wanted in the kitchen, fully equipped bathroom and sauna, comfy beds. We also enjoyed the grill and the outdoor seating area.

We felt right at home at this cozy cottage, the hosts were very helpful and kind. We will miss the fireplace and playing board games in the kitchen at night. ❤️

Wonderful cabin a few steps from the beach. Enjoyed it very much! Thank you so much!

Very beautiful house in a secluded and peaceful environment within nature. We spent five days with the family for Christmas. The house matched our expectations in terms of size and location. Room lights match the photos. The fireplace and sauna are very nice. Everything is well maintained, the property is very beautiful. Namely one shower in the house. Communication with Fred was fluid.

Well located, quiet, ideal for winter. I saw a seal in the bay

The best relaxation for body and soul imaginable. The house had everything you needed and if something was missing, the owner kindly supplied it. 15 - 20 minutes to the sea or the local grocery store or restaurant (Jūras bite was great, the other one was ok, but not so good). Most of the time we sat on the terrace att the house, wrote, read and enjoyed the peace and nature around. But as we traveled by car so we did a few day trips to Sigulda and Limbaži, discovered that Sidrabiņi krog has a tiny shop with fantastic meat delicacies and and that Lembažu brewery has a good bear but you can only buy it in the local restaurants. We are grateful for the two amazing weeks and will definitely be back another time.

Very cozy place and the host was lovely. Everything was great! Highly recommended!

We had a wonderful stay here. We wish we could have stayed longer. It was very relaxing. Baiba is a great host. We enjoyed spending time on the lake, walking around and relaxing on the hammocks. We highly recommend staying here when in Latvia.

The photos don't do the place justice at all! The area is really cozy and swimming lake is great with quiet boat to borrow. We had the whole area to ourselves as we were the only guests in the total 5 cabins/houses. Total silence and nicely marked 5 km walk in the forest is described on the sign for driveway. The beds were good and the place nice for the price.

As two Familien enjoying our final days in Estonia we spontan perfect holidays in Marti's summer house. From BBQ, comfy beds, SUPs, Sauna and much more, we had a great time. Pur Kids loved the water and the Volleyball area. We had a great stay and will think of it fondly! Thank you for having us, Marti!
