The house was built in 1952, originally serving as a hunting
lodge. In 1955, it was handed over to the management of the "Solunska
Glava" Mountaineering Society from Veles and transformed into a mountain
lodge. Recently, the house has been privatized and is now managed by the Sports
Athletic Club "Izgrev" from Veles.
The lodge consists of two sections: a new and an old part,
both open for guest accommodation. The new section has been equipped with
central heating to ensure comfortable warmth throughout the rooms. The building
features a modern thermal facade to improve energy efficiency.
The lodge has five sleeping rooms, two of which are larger
and equipped with group beds. It can accommodate up to 56 people, but with
group accommodation, it can host up to 100 mountaineers. The property is
well-maintained, with electrical lighting and a water supply from its own
spring – the Norton well (with a pump). Outside, there is a fountain with
natural drinking water. The lodge is open year-round and has a permanent
caretaker.
Mountain Lodge "Cheples" is situated on Mount
Dautica, part of the Jakupica mountain massif. The lodge is surrounded by a
forest of tall beech trees, with a spacious area outside covered with grass and
ferns. The setting offers a remarkable mountain ambiance with panoramic views
of the Jakupica and Plavnik peaks. The lodge faces east, ensuring long periods
of sunlight throughout the day.
