Homestead visit no.3
This time our visit was planned in the middle of February and we were hoping for some snowy days kissed by the sun, but all we got we four days rain. Four days of rain, peace and quiet, birds singing, fire crackling and sauna warming us up.

Visit no.3 - February
Rainy sauna days
This time we were quietly wishing for some snow to experience another winter fairy tale of Podveža, the surrounding slopes, crystalized in snowflakes, shining in the sun.
But reality and unusual weather of this year’s winter kicked in and this is what we doing over the 4 days we spent at the cottage.
The whole scenery on the road through the villages indicated this area was not spared in the pitfalls of last summer. However, life seems slowly to be putting pieces back together and with just one ray on sunshine, everything seems different.
And even though there were no signs of sunrays whatsoever, we knew that it’s going to be… well… just like home.
Arriving to the property welcomed us with just a tiny patch of snow outside the cottage and there was a basket at the doorstep, filled with homemade delicacies, such as cheese, yoghurt, butter and some delicious marmelades. Let’s not forget a package of Ana’s herbal tea that definitely is a soul comforting, most “take me back to childhood and grandma’s house” kind of tea. Usually, Ana also prepares fresh baked bread every morning, but this time we opted out.
It was a free of plans kind of vacation for us, so we stayed around the cottage, listening to the peace (it’s truly one of kind that’s worth everything), cooking a lot, enjoying coffee and cacao and we did of course took all the advantage of the private sauna.
This time, we didn’t even spend almost any time in the tiny loft area that can be an amazing reading nook or just a chillout corner, overlooking the ground food.
However, we spent quite a lot of time outside (yes, even in the rain – we even ate all of our meals outside under a tiny shelter we had with us totally not on purpose 😉
And if you can be outside, one can have some fun had playing around with a drone and you are invited to take a look at it on our social media platforms.
While here, you can take a look at some amazing we’ve taken just to give you a sneak peek of what we are talking about here, but for the real experience you’ll have to visit the Vintage Vacation yourself.
