The apartments and tiny house of the Bohemian Cottage in Bohemian Switzerland combine high quality, simplicity and modern style. Inspired by art and nature, such as the rising sun over the mountains, the mist of the valley or cows running past, the married couple Irena and Aleš opened the Bohemian Cottage to give their guests a relaxing time.
The cottage dates back to the 19th century and was carefully renovated in 2017 and 2018 and expanded to include a wellness area. Since then, the Kubica family has been hosting international guests who want to relax and enjoy the Czech nature.
The large garden plays a special role in the cottage, where many hours can be spent in the hammocks or garden chairs. The stone terrace with grill is particularly popular for social evenings in summer. The natural bathing lake delights both young and old guests. The in-house herb garden consists of medicinal plants, among other things, which are processed into teas. Courses are offered to create your own home medicine cabinet.
Excursions into the adjacent forest or mountains are also on the program. Aleš is a guide in the national park and can give guests valuable tips on how to interact with nature, Irena is a pharmacist, yoga teacher and physiotherapist and offers courses on aromatherapy and medicinal herbs.

Sustainable
ArchitectureThe four apartments and the tiny house were built by local craftsmen. During the renovation, care was taken to preserve the original floor and stairs. Some of the furniture was also restored or custom-built. The entire interior comes from the Czech Republic, from the beds to the curtains. Regional artists Silvie Malyszová and Lenky Meszárosová made the decorative linen elements for the rooms.
FoodThe groceries and bread are sourced locally, avoiding trips to the supermarket as far as possible. The vegetables come from our own garden and the gardens of friends. The breakfast basket is carefully filled with seasonal produce every morning by the hosts' grandma herself. Guests also have the opportunity to purchase regional cheese, beer, wine and sweets at the cottage. A full-board option can also be booked, offering a variety of dishes from vegan pasta Bolognese to Indian dishes. A selection of delicious cakes is also available every day.
The Cottage's hosts are socially committed by providing financial support to the "Agentura Pondeli" organisation, which helps people with mental health problems.
EnvironmentSustainability can be described as the lifestyle of the cottage. The entire building has its own deep well and a root sewage treatment plant. Only ecological cleaning agents and detergents are used, waste is separated, kitchen scraps are composted as far as possible and rainwater is collected and used to water the garden.
Well-BeingThere is a small room where yoga is practiced under the guidance of Irena. The inspiration that the cottage aims to provide provides a certain kind of well-being, but also allows you to meet new people. The wellness area with sauna and jacuzzi is rounded off by the natural bathing lake and massages. Bicycles, e-bikes, snowshoes and skis can also be rented. The nearest ski area is just a 10-minute drive from the cottage, making it perfect for winter sports enthusiasts. The Bohemian Cottage also offers various guided hiking and cycling tours or Nordic walking lessons.
