Cottage holiday rentals in Gauja

This place was truly magical! I would give it more stars if possible 🌟 The location was very close to Cēsis and easy to find but also private. The interior was truly outstanding and the outside area is perfect for peaceful rest by the pond and a nice barbecue. The host even provides everything you would need for cooking inside, a nice outdoors bbq and even for the sauna. The inside of the sauna house was also outstanding - you feel like you are a part of the Baltic mythology and can enjoy magical sauna vibes with everything you would need available! 🙌🏻 The host was amazingly helpful and friendly - promtly answered all of our questions. Thank you, Inese! Overall I would recommend this location for any kind of bigger event or small gathering you might have, especially the sauna. I’m definitely going back! 🤍

Absolutely adorable and cozy vacation home with several worthy saunas in a natural setting. We were all thrilled and already want to go back! Raili is super friendly and accommodating!

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

The property was excellent with impressive facilities. We wish we'd had the time to stay for longer so that we could take advantage of them all fully. I'd warmly recommend a visit to anybody that wants a quiet and restful getaway. Laima and her husband were very welcoming and organised hosts. The property was well stocked and the hosts were always proactive in their communication. Thanks again for a great visit!

Superb place! Definitely worth visiting. Perfect peaceful location. Ideal for a holiday. 5-stars all the way!

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.

If you want to enjoy the peace and peace and privacy inside the forest, then this stay is a very good choice. Old outside, new inside - all the amenities you need for life are there. The host gives very accurate instructions and it's very easy to find the place. Google maps leads exactly in front of the house. Very satisfied!

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.

We really enjoyed staying at Esta's place. It is located close to the Puka village. Very quiet at night, only birds are heard along the day. Spacious house, and road is of good quality to reach it. Comfortable double sofa and pillows. Our 12 yo daughter slept in the bed. Kitchen full of stuff, and electric stove works excellent. Bathroom is big, shower has strong water pressure. Esta has put chocolate Estonian candies to welcome us, and gifted with dried lavender flowers at check-out 🤩

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.

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

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!

Very pleasant stay. There was everything we could have wanted in the kitchen, fully equipped bathroom and sauna, comfy beds. We also enjoyed the grill and the outdoor seating 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.
