The Cozy Chalet
Nestled in the breathtaking beauty of the mountains, among centuries-old pine and fir forests, The Cozy Chalet is a perfect getaway for those seeking a perfect blend of privacy, adventure and relaxation.
The Cozy Chalet is a eco-friendly mountain house with a unique A-frame design, constructed using glass and wood materials, predominantly Siberian larch, Pine and Oak.
Our A-frame cabin is situated at the crossroads of the Mediterranean and continental climates, at an altitude of 1078m above sea level, the highest-placed accommodation in the north-western Bosnia and Herzegovina and neighboring Croatia.
With the benefits of an air-spa, our guests can indulge in the outdoor hot tub under the starlit sky, cozy up by the fireplace, barbeque on a first-class grill, or relax in the outdoor lounge area with a drink in hand, soaking in the mountain views and fresh air, truly unwinding in style and comfort.
Location
Mt. Ostrelj and the immediate location around our property is known for its climate properties and healing air spa, which traces back to the Austro-Hungarian empire.
On certain days, nature creates a symphony of scents that captivates your senses. The warm breeze from the Adriatic Sea mingles with the refreshing scent of Pine and Fir trees, offering a sensory experience like no other, where the air currents dance around you.
Being situated between the majestic Osječenica (1798m) and Klekovača (1962m) mountains, Mt. Oštrelj beckons outdoor enthusiasts with its premium terrains.
Our property is surrounded by hundreds of kilometers of marked and unmarked trails for hiking, cycling, mountain biking, mountaineering, snowshoe hiking, enduro and quad bike riding, and much more.
Some of these trails were once the narrow-gauge railways used by Austo-Hungarian steam trains, that now offer a unique hiking/biking experience that combines the nostalgia of the past with the thrill of outdoor adventure.
A preserved steam locomotive and composition remain on the mountain as a testimony to those times.
