Family-friendly vacation rentals in Karlovac County

We stayed at Maja’s house whilst visiting Plitvice Lakes and this was perfect for what we needed - a short drive to the national park and a clean, comfortable and well appointed place to stay. Maja (and her mother, who looked after us whilst we were there) were really helpful and responsive throughout. Even finding a high chair for our baby when we arrived! The layout of the house is a little unconventional - but that’s all very clear from the photos, so no surprises. Would definitely recommend for anyone looking to stay in this area.

We had a very enjoyable weekend in Cindric Gai and would argue this place for both smaller and larger societies. The house is surrounded by a really big garden with many amenities (jacuzzi, sauna, barbecue...). The hosts were very responsive to the conversation and arrangement for flexible check in and check out. We are also grateful for all the attention on arrival!

The house is located on a mountain with a beautiful view of the sea and forests, and there are only a few houses around. Google Maps doesn't accurately show the house's location, so you have to drive about 200 meters further to find a sign that points you in the right direction. The house was very clean, and Filip was quick to respond. His father met us when we arrived, and we communicated using Google Translate. The house is far from the main route connecting Senj to Zagreb, which makes it super quiet and peaceful. But Senj and the coast are only a 20-minute drive away, with the nearest market also in Senj. When we were there, it was mostly windy on the mountain, so there weren’t any mosquitoes. On the calm days, there were some, though. There are also some activities in the garden for kids to play with. I'd recommend this place for anyone looking for a peaceful family vacation. There's also an old stray cat living in the garden. Don’t forget to feed it:)

Suzanna and her husband are super kind and welcoming, the villa is beautiful with the fireplace and the jacuzzi as an absolute highlight. The area is amazing especially since we stayed here during the winter with lots of snow around us.

Dragana is a wonderful host. The property is first class, as it has everything that you could possibly want or need plus more. I can say that the photos do not do it justice....it is so much more than you see. Perfect for groups or 3 couples. We loved the convenience to the NP, would have loved to stay longer

Stunning property and location, better than the pictures. We had an amazing stay. Everything you could possibly want and need for an escape to the beautiful hills of Ogulin! A few issues with the house upon arrival including a flooded shower and leaky air con unit, these were swiftly seen to after messaging the host. Also no taxi’s available in the area so bear that in mind! We were unable to use one of the showers for the rest of the trip but in the grand scheme of things this wasn’t the end of the world :) lovely stay and great memories made, thanks!

We spent 6 a week at Villa as a group of friends. The house and the garden are very well maintained and look exactly like the pictures. The house was stocked with everything you could need and everything was also very clean. Communication with the host was through chat. Check in and check out was very flexible and worked smoothly. Our host always responded to us quickly with questions and also gave us tips on the way. The house is very secluded, you have 100% peace of mind and don't bother any. The only drawback here is that you can drive to the nearest major supermarkets for half an hour by car. However, I truly truly recommend the space to anyone!

Clean. Easy parking on premise. Responsive and kind host. Highly recomend if you need to say a night while traveling Croatia.

Ksenija was really helpful to accommodate our late checkin and even helped us with bread we forgot to buy in the morning. Awesome stay.

Absolutely great place, close proximity to Plitvice falls and lakes, everyone was welcoming accomodating and we had a a very wholesome time. Would visit again!

Amazing place away from everything. Very friendly host that welcomed us! Would recommend this lovely place to everyone!

Such a nice place to stay. Jelena’s mom met us when we arrived and showed us around. Such a nice woman. The home is kind of back in the country a little and is so nice and well taken care of. It felt like home. The garden area around the house was beautiful. We met their little dog who was very excited to see us. The home itself is very nice. Plenty of room, a nice big bathroom, a full kitchen with some treats for us. Pretty special.

Anita’s place was very nice and cosy, it has a beautiful green view from the window in bedroom. The apartment was very clean. We were very satisfied with our stay.

Everything was wonderful. The place was clean, had everything we needed, and backyard is lovely for sunbathing. Our dog loved it as well. The only thing that caught me by surprise is that the owners came knocking unannounced after my self check-in, so maybe communicating the exact time to come and collect ID information from guests would be better, since we all value our privacy. The owner was very nice, and also brought us some cakes as a welcome, and gave us helpful information about Plitvice. All in all it was a lovely stay and I would come back again!

Beautiful nice small cottage, perfect for a couple and a pet or two. The wood stove brought a very relaxing ambience and we completely recharged our batteries with the local scenery. Nice and isolated, near a lot of nature spots with waterfalls, creeks and lots of greenery, highly recommend!

High value apartment just a few km from the entrances to Plitvice. Accurate pictures, well-maintained, and spotlessly clean. Very good value. The host was personable, helpful, and well-traveled herself and easy to talk with. Consider taking an extra day to explore the area outside of Plitvice. We especially enjoyed dipping into Bosnia to see the Ostrožac Castle and the Bihoć fortress, and would like to have hiked in Una NP (but get there through Bihoć; the road that Google maps take you to that is due east is not a border crossing).

Very spacious and clean with a lovely outdoor area.

It was a really nice vacation in a very nice house furnished with a lot of love. We were able to make good use of the sauna, hot tub and pool! We were warmly received and the communication worked great. We will be happy to come back! 😊

We had 2 beautiful days. Very quiet. There is a swimming pool and a covered barbecue area, which we also took full advantage of. Restaurant and shopping are nearby. Even when our car broke down, we were immediately helped by the host. Very nice hosts and just to recommend.

everything was great!

We had a relaxing and enjoyable time in this lovely Vila and the beautiful area. The communication was great - we got answers for everything in a very welcoming and friendly, caring approach. The area is beautiful and the Vila gives you plenty of options for everyone to enjoy- the pool , the sauna and the pool table (we loved it !!) and the relaxing sounds of the lake. That was exactly what we needed before going back to our routine. Thank you so much for everything Maya Lana and Mia - We hope to come again in the future 🙏

Fun stay in the treehouse apartment. All very lovely. Only downsides were the fact that the campsite and pool were sooo busy, loud music at the pool and the apartment did not really have suitable outdoor space for eating as a family. Otherwise, we really enjoyed our two day stay. Thank you!

We had a wonderful stay here, stunning view and brilliant host!

Fully equipped house with beautiful 2 terraces that are even in the winter months to use. The view is outside as is the location in complete peace and quiet. Gave a soul for a break from everyday life. The owners are wonderful people who welcomed us with open arms and a welcome pack. They are also one of the few where pets are allowed and you have a fenced play area for your little ones and pets where you can keep an eye on them at all times. In front of you, the view overlooks a large meadow where a large number of sheep come to graze during the day, and the sight is fantastic. During the winter months, there is no way to get cold, the stove in the lower part of the house is enough to warm up the entire house, and you don't need to use radiators and other heating sources for the upper rooms. Overall, a perfect place to rest for both the younger and the elderly, I definitely recommend it. And we'll be back, too!
