19. 10. 2024.
In the heart of Zagorje, on the edge of the forest, Hiža Bake Roze is located. This wooden house, rich in history and emotional value, according to the guests, exudes the warmth of the past, and the story behind it carries special weight. The accommodation stands out as a place where the past and the present are well connected, where the peace of nature, family stories, and the host's warmth make the stay a special experience, worth sharing. Through this story, we will discover how Hiža Bake Roze became a symbol of family heritage and why every guest who steps into it feels as if they have found a piece of paradise.
Hiža is named after a woman who left an indelible mark on all her family members with her kindness, courage, and selfless giving. Grandma Roza, as the hosts say, was a special woman. Born in 1928, she married as a young daughter-in-law in the village of Gornji Kereši, then known for ore mining. But her life was not easy. She lived through the First World War, and as a young widow with a three-year-old girl, she also faced the horrors of the Second World War. Nevertheless, through all those difficult years, Roza remained noble and dedicated to her family.
In the beginning, Hiža Bake Roze was a small house of only 6 m2, and five people lived there for several years. Despite its modesty, the house was a symbol of family values, togetherness, and love. That small house still exists and today serves as a souvenir shop, and its history, like the story of Grandma Roza, is passed down from generation to generation.
In 1957, Grandpa Dragec, Grandma Roza's new son-in-law, built an oak house with a stable, and a stable - that was the first version of today's house. As the years passed, the house became a gathering place for the family, and the sentimental value of the property grew with the new generations. The idea to adapt the house and open it up to guests came precisely from the emotional connection to the property, but also from the desire to preserve Grandma Roza's legacy.
The adaptation of the house was carefully planned to preserve the old elements and authentic details that remind of the past, but also to ensure that the house meets the modern needs of guests, which today cannot be done without. The house is categorized with four stars, offers comfortable accommodation for four people, and is a perfect combination of antique and modern amenities, which also makes it a special place to escape from everyday life.
Within the house, there is also Spa Roza, a relaxation area that offers an infrared sauna and a hydromassage jacuzzi - facilities that guests particularly like. It is not uncommon for guests to spend hours in the Jacuzzi, enjoying complete peace. In addition, there is a playground for the youngest, which makes the house suitable for families with children, as well as couples looking for a relaxing or romantic vacation.
What makes it a truly special place is not only its history or comfort, which we mentioned but also its unique location. Located on the very edge of the forest, the house is surrounded by nature that captivates all the senses. Morning meetings with roe deer have become everyday scenes, while the sounds of nature, such as the chirping of birds, wake up guests on a new day. The peace offered by this place, literally at the end of the world as some describe it, offers guests a rare opportunity for rest.
Each season brings its magic here. Spring brings freshness and the awakening of nature, while autumn colors the surrounding forests with golden and red shades, providing a pleasant atmosphere for walks and spending time outdoors. Winter, with its snow cover, turns the place into a fairy tale, while summer is the time when guests can enjoy the shade of the forest and the smell of fresh air.
The most frequent guests are couples looking for a romantic vacation, but also families with children who want to spend quality time together in peace and nature. In a conversation with the owners, we learn that guests return again and again for different reasons - some are enchanted by the peace and quiet, others are attracted to facilities such as the spa area, while others simply enjoy the ambiance.
Hiža Bake Roze with its rich history, authentic ambiance, and love that is woven into every corner, offers guests something that is hard to find in today's busy world - a return to nature and to oneself. Whether you are looking for a quiet weekend with the family or a romantic one, everything you need for a complete vacation, tailored to your needs, is offered here.
