Cottage holiday rentals in Gauja

An extremely pleasant and well maintained place, in the middle of Estonian countryside, a quiet place, still with wooden smell, where you find everything you need for an enjoyable stay. The host is very responsive, she met us and made us feel home. A+

The house is amazing - spacious, with all you could ever need, with enough sleeping spaces for a large group. Yet the home is cozy, tastefully renovated and just feels very warm. The sauna (that's almost an entire house itself) and hot-tub were an amazing experience, especially with the chance to jump in the cold "āliņģis" next to it. And what's important - Inese is an awesome host: friendly, helpful, and responsive, always made sure we feel welcome and have all we can ever think of. Can recommend for everyone!

A real winter debt country! Close to the city, yet it feels like you're somewhere in the woods. Very private, nice saunas and a large enough barrel. Everything was there, and the sleep was good. Host was very helpful, nice and kind. We'll definitely visit again! ❤️

We had a great time, everything was clean and like in the description. The communication with Gints was also immaculate

This Airbnb experience was just amazing. Valters offered everything we could wish for and more. We had a truly wild experience in the countryside of Latvia. I recommend this Airbnb for everyone and it's now our official Christmas place. We did things like ice skating, cross country skiing, playing with huskies, ice swimming and much more. Book this airbnb for a guaranteed amazing experience. They even got us a Christmas tree (from the wild).

It has a great location and a lot of things to do, even in bad weather. There is a hot tub, grill, sauna, board games, TV, and more — everything needed to have a great holiday. All the places and locations are near. You can drive, walk, or even take bikes from the host. Super host, super place. 100% recommend.

Simonas place is cosy and with lot of attention to detail with wood features aspecially and we enjoyed the hot tub aswell. Would definatelly recomend.

Great location with private beach. You can use sups to swim around the lake. Very relaxing and quiet place. Host has a house close by, but during our stay nobody was there so we didn’t see a single person around. It was perfect getaway from city, people and technology. House has all you need, there is also a bbq grill outside.

Such a cute, peaceful spot! It was easy to navigate to, even in winter (February). It was so pretty in the snow and very cosy. There is a dog nearby that barks when you drive up, but they are not unfriendly.

We had a very pleasant stay at Inese’s lovely cottage. It was as described on the listing and any of our additional questions were answered quickly and in a friendly manner. Ahead of our stay, we were sent a helpful information sheet. The cottage itself is located in a peaceful place, fairly close to the capital city and other towns nearby. We loved the personal touches (great board games and various extras) throughout the house. The cottage was quick to heat up so absolutely fine for a winter stay. Highly recommend for a peaceful family get away.

Matsi Maria is superb place for relaxing! The sea is just few steps away and good for long walks at seaside and in the nature! The Sauna was also super hot 🔥. The hosts were very friendly and welcome! Recommend Matsi Maria for all!

Beautiful place to enjoy the nature and peace.

Nice location surrounded by wild nature and old farms.

Our company of 6 people really enjoyed the stay. Nice house, everything what you need for cooking, sleeping, washing is in the house. Comfortable check-in. All information is sent beforehand, with directions. Very convenient. The sauna is the best, easy to heat up, spacious, perfect view to the pond with water lilies. Really nice fire place, with big, spacious table, cozy lightning in the evening. May be a bit more new/clean shashlik skewers are needed.

We were very pleased with our stay at Karlis’ house, which features a charming garden, a cozy terrace, and comfortable upstairs bedrooms. We stayed for three days with our dog, who was warmly welcomed. The nearby forest, with its many scenic trails, was perfect for walks. The peaceful, nature-filled area just outside Riga was ideal for relaxing. The house’s rustic feel, especially on the lower floor, added to its charm. The front door was an unforgettable, authentic detail—it felt like stepping into a Grimm’s fairy tale. The house has been modernized with care, preserving its unique "cigar box" character, especially at the lower floor. Karlis' house is truly a gem, and it was a delight to learn about the artist who once lived there and see his remarkable sculptures still on display.

We felt right at home at this cozy cottage, the hosts were very helpful and kind. We will miss the fireplace and playing board games in the kitchen at night. ❤️

Wonderful cabin a few steps from the beach. Enjoyed it very much! Thank you so much!

Cute cottage house with all the necessary amenities, really enjoyed the river as well

Just a lovely, cozy stay. Very friendly and helpful hostess. Lovely jogging terrains for jogging with dogs. A pet-friendly place. This is where we'll be again. However, after booking, it's a good idea to ask for directions, a google maps link leads to the middle of the fields.

Very cozy place and the host was lovely. Everything was great! Highly recommended!

Beautiful and unique location beside a very small and peaceful camping ground on a peer of a small marina makes this house really special. You can swim right from your doorstep, or have a dip directly from the sauna, and there is also a small rowing boat we could use. Inside the house everything is immaculately clean and comfy, it is well equipped with al necessities. The stairs were not a concern for us, but should be born in mind by those with mobility issues or very small children. The host is very friendly and efficient, she gave us some excellent local recommendations. We would love to come again for a longer stay!

Lovely location out in a peaceful area

Beautiful place! ☀️ We are definitely coming back. We had everything we needed and more 🍉

The place is easy to find and to reach by public transportation. The sea is within a walking distance - some 15 minutes. Nearby there are a lot of restaurants and cafes. The accommodation looks like as in the photos - there is a separate bedroom, an equipped kitchen, a spacious living room. There’s everything necessary for a comfortable stay. A quiet place. In the yard there are two super friendly dogs that sometimes ask for cuddling. A very easy communication with the host - Spāre answers questions promptly and clearly, providing all the necessary information.
