The bungalows come furnished and are perfect for a week-long stay. They are heated by central heating and are spacious and bright.

The restaurant is currently open on weekends and is perfect for guests who want to enjoy traditional cuisine.

At the restaurant, visitors can indulge in a variety of local specialties, including game goulash made with venison, peasant stew cooked in a pot, pitulici (traditional fried dough), kachamak (cornmeal dish), and bakardan (a hearty meal of beans and vegetables). One of the favorites among guests is the sheep cheese from Stogovo, renowned for its rich flavor. The winter menu, coming soon, will feature hearty dishes such as dried homemade meats, baked beans, peasant meat, and meatballs—perfect for warming up during the colder months. These traditional dishes offer a true taste of Macedonian mountain cuisine


The region features stunning mountain trails that lead to Stogovo and Lazaropole. Additionally, the complex provides ATV motorcycles — a total of four vehicles — which require a guide for guests who are unfamiliar with the terrain. You can book ATV tours HERE.

Currently, there are two large bungalows available for accommodation. Each bungalow includes a living room, a bedroom, and a private bathroom. The bungalows are situated around a shared yard that provides privacy for guests. Additionally, there is an outdoor kitchen equipped with a wood-burning oven, grill, and stove.


The accommodation capacity for both bungalows is designed for up to 9 people, making them ideal for smaller groups or companies looking to enjoy a weekend in the mountains.
