What I liked the most were the hosts! Great hospitality! The house has quiet surroundings, though it is not far from the main road and all facilities. We spent quite a lot of time relaxing in the garden. The apartment is truly "fully equipped"!
House Jelena was perfect for our stay at Plitvice Lake. Very modern studio apartment. We totally loved Jelena, who is a lovely host. She shared many tips for visiting Plitvice Lake. Jelena even made coffee for us in the morning and she was very nice with my kids. I highly recommend House Jelena to everyone.
The property was spotless and comfortable and in a lovely setting. We did have to pay in cash upon arrival. It says to pay at the property but we thought we would have a card option. Anyone staying should be aware of this.
We were staying at the end of April and unfortunately had bad weather. The hosts were making a fire in their home but the chimney was right at our apartment so we were unable to open any of the windows during our stay.
I would recommend this place for a stay but just wanted guests to be aware of what we did not expect.
This is such a cute place to stay, just 10 minutes from the park. It has everything you need for a comfortable stay. The only downside for us is that, for some reason you have to pay for your stay in cash, in euros. Jelena and her family were welcoming and kind. Thank you so much for having us we truly enjoyed our stay!

Lovely stay. We were only there one night, but the owner could not have been nicer!
I loved Jelena’s house. Ask her for a taste of her homemade honey, you’ll walk home with a jar that won’t last the way home. Very kind, lovely area about 5km from Entrance 2 of Plitvice Lakes Park. Goid restaurants nearby and grocery shopping as well.
Friendly host and a very nice room for our 4 person family. Just what we needed after a long day of walking in Plitvice National Park. We also got pizza take away from the closest pizzaria... extremely good pizza. Thanks for a good stay.
Helpful, friendly hostess. Pleasant surroundings in farm community. Minor privacy issue when. Other houseguests sharingcommon area since very minimal noise barrier.
Lovely people, very nice room. Excellent cooking facilities shared with other guests, though we had it to ourselves when we stayed - the other guests ate out. Note that you need a car (or possibly use taxis) to get to Plitvice.

Very quiet place
Very quiet place, exellent environment and a nice hostess is relaxed my travel.
Velice příjemná rodina a ubytování, optimální pro výlet na Plitvice brzo ráno (při příjezdu v 7:00 jsme ve všední den čekali cca 40 minut na koupi vstupenek, později byly fronty výrazně horší). Okolí se nehodí pro cyklistiku, cesty jsou úzké a je jich málo, takže s hustým provozem, někteří řidiči kamionů byli dost bezohlední.
Very nice hostess, location is 10 min drive to Plitvice Park Entrance 1, Two minute drive to delicious restaurant near by (Hotel Dalmatic) Restaurant), Quiet and scenic, Organic breakfast, balcony overlooking mountains
Location molto bella e tranquilla, personale gentilissimo e molto disponibile, la camera molto pulita e ben tenuta, parcheggio disponibile gratuitamente. Molto comodo per visitare il Parco di Plitvice.
Es un lugar tranquilo y muy limpio. La anfitriona es muy amable. Es un sitio con una excelente relación calidad precio para unos días o para una visita cómoda al parque nacional de Plivitche q está a sólo 3 minutos en coche. Cerca también buen restaurante recomendado por ella. Perfecto!!
Jelena was a very comforting and welcoming host...made us feel right at home :) She was very helpful, her place very homey, clean, and comfortable... Her home just a short, easy, 6 minute drive down the road to Plitvicke Lakes.
Mil y mil gracias a Jelena y su familia por su hospitalidad! Es un sitio muy limpio, tranquilo y con un encanto magico gracias a su entorno natural y la buena atencion de los anfitriones. Por 6 Euros Te dan un gran y delicioso desayuno. Ademas estan pendientes de darte la información apropiada para tu visita al Parque o a diferentes actividades en la zona
