Cottage vacation rentals in Gauja

An extremely pleasant and well maintained place, in the middle of Estonian countryside, a quiet place, still with wooden smell, where you find everything you need for an enjoyable stay. The host is very responsive, she met us and made us feel home. A+

Beautiful and tidy place. Wonderful space, good lighting, quality furniture and kitchen appliances. The sauna house and the tub loved it. Lovely hosts, nice communication.

Very peaceful place. The host is very responsive and helpful. Definitely recommend! If you plan to come in summer please be advised to bring mosquito spray! overall 10/10 stay, Would come again.

Beautiful and private space. If you’re tired of city. This will be perfect place to relax and enjoy. Totally recommend to others and I would love to visit it again.

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!

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.

We are absolutely in love with this place! It was our second time to stay and I already cannot wait to go back:) Lovely cottage surrounded by the most beautiful nature you can find in South of Estonia. We really enjoyed everything that this gem had to offer-Thank You Jürgen and Marta!:)

Very nice visit. Timo was an excellent host.

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!

We had a wonderful stay at this cozy cabin nestled in a small village surrounded by lush forest and the tranquil sea. The location is truly serene, perfect for anyone looking to escape the hustle and bustle of city life. While there are no restaurants or shops nearby, the peaceful atmosphere more than makes up for it. The cabin was as clean as you’d expect for a place in the woods, and it felt just like home. The kitchen was fully equipped, which made cooking meals a breeze, and there were plenty of towels provided. We really appreciated the clear instructions left by the owner, which made getting in by ourselves seamless. He also kindly provided us with a late check-out, which allowed us to enjoy our last morning without rushing. One of the highlights of our stay was enjoying breakfast outside each morning, followed by sunbathing on the comfortable chairs provided. Overall, this place was a perfect retreat, and we highly recommend it for anyone looking to unwind in nature.

Our family of 4 spent a few days at this wonderful place. The location of the house is fantastic, the surrounding nature is exactly what we were looking for. The house itself is very comfortable, and could easily accomodate a larger group. Leili, the caretaker, was very open and friendly. I fully recommend this place for families or groups looking for a peaceful time in nature.

We had an awesome stay with kids at this beautiful little wood cabin. The cozy wood burner made the space wonderfully warm and inviting, perfect for relaxing evenings. The kitchen was well-equipped, making it easy to prepare meals. The location is wonderfully quiet, away from the main crowded tourist spots, offering a peaceful retreat. Although it’s a bit of a walk to the beach, it’s definitely worth it. Highly recommend for anyone looking to unwind in a cozy, peaceful setting!

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. ❤️

Everything was very good and very homely, thank you!

We had a lovely time in Ivo's Villa. Stayed with family there and it exceeded our expectations. The photos do not capture the real life beauty. literally steps from the sea and stunning views of the water. It was very well equipped with everything you would need in a holiday home. The rooms were bright and airy, kitchen is fabulous and there is lovely furniture and swings outside where we spent alot of our time. The children loved it there especially the sea and swings outside. Perfect for adults and also families. We would not hesitate in booking again. Ivo is a great host and met us personally on check in. Nothing negative to report there are excellent BBQ facilities for outdoor cooking. I can imagine it's stunning in the winter also but we had a lovely summer visit. Make a booking for this beautiful villa the best surprise was the sauna in the house!!

Very peaceful property in the Latvian countryside. The hosts are very nice and helpful. I’d recommend!

Cute cottage house with all the necessary amenities, really enjoyed the river as well

We loved the stay in this secluded AirBNB.

Lovely place and friendly hosts! Kitchen fully equipped with anything you might need, everything was clean and the whole place just felt very cozy. Wonderful location for bird watching and hikes. Thank you!

A small cabin in the quaint town of Cesis. Be prepared to fire up a wood oven every day to keep you warm but also heat up the sauna. There is no kitchen, so keep your perishables outside if the temperatures permit. There is a kettle and some coffee and tea. Familiarize yourself with how to operate and use a wood-fired sauna. perfect if you want to disconnect and relax. If the porch light goes on in the middle of the night, it's probably a furry friend. Expect some birds visiting you in the morning.

Mare was a fantastic host, easy and friendly to communicate with, and met us at her beautiful cottage to check us in. Her gardens surrounding the outdoor sitting area are beautiful and she even provided us with fresh tomatoes and cucumbers from her garden :). The cottage was close to the beach area, local restaurants and the stadium (some in our group were able to catch an outstanding soccer game!). The cottage was cute and well equipped including 2 separate toilets and 2 separate showers (very handy for a group of 4-5). I highly recommend staying here!

Very nice location and the suite has a sense of privacy - its own garden corner off from everyone else. Responsive host. Cleanliness would work - the tap water has a weird smell and the floors weren't too clean either.
