House holiday rentals in Gauja

We recently had the pleasure of staying at this beautifull fisherman's house. The location on the picturesque Munalaiu peninsula by the Baltic Sea is simply stunning, offering a peaceful and idyllic escape. Having a private pool, sauna, hot tub, and a dedicated BBQ house meant there was never a dull moment. Whether we were relaxing in the hot tub under the stars, enjoying a refreshing dip in the pool after a sauna session, or grilling up a feast in the spacious BBQ area, the amenities were top-notch and incredibly well-maintained. The main house is cozy and comfortable, with a fully equipped kitchen that had everything we needed (and more, including a great coffee machine!). The living area is perfect for gathering, and the bedrooms, along with the charming summer cabins, provided ample and comfortable sleeping arrangements for our group of 7. Overall, this is the perfect spot for a large group looking for a relaxing, fun, and well-appointed getaway by the sea.

The staff was very friendly and gave us a warm welcome. Place was cosy and private right by the river. The house was really warm. There was only one big minus, it was the jacuzzi/hot tub - had to wait long for it to get warm, but thats no big deal, but once it got to 40-45 °C, the host turned it off and forbid us to put the heating on by ourselves. So the water stayed good and warm for about 30 minutes after which it started to get cold. So 50€ for a 30 min hot tub is rather sad, plus there is now way to enjoy the hot tub next morning before leaving.

Great place to relax from the hustle and bustle of the city. Everything is clean and well thought out. Very responsive and welcoming hosts. We also used the sauna which was perfectly prepared. Loved that children have also been thought of, where you can go out, walk, play on the children's playground in a safe environment, and even see the sheep. We'll definitely be back!

Whether you planning a getaway with your hubby, vacation with kids, short workation or gathering of best friends - this is the best place. Private, quiet, well equipped. Whirlpool and a small pool outside definitely is a big plus. Colorful rugs all over the house add playfulness. It’s well located - away from the busiest street of Engure village, but everything is reachable within few minutes (beach, very popular bakery, grocery store or cafeteria/restaurant). Lots of things to see around - Engure lake nature park, Cinevilla studio. Host is very responsive, communication was smooth. We truly enjoyed our stay and got back well rested - thank you!

We had an absolutely fantastic stay. The place was even more beautiful than the pictures showed, and it exceeded all our expectations. The apartment was immaculate, spacious, and beautifully designed — truly a home away from home. The only thing to note is that a car is essential, as you can’t really do much without one. But apart from that, we had an amazing time and would highly recommend this beautiful house!

The place was amazing for a large group! It has a beautiful front yard and a large dining room/living room area inside. I would recommend this place to everyone!

Great place to stay. Wonderful house with everything what is needed for a group trip with friends or family.

Absolutely peaceful sorrounding area - quiet place with lake view from apartment. Apartment was perfect clean and host was very nice and responsive.

Very friendly and helpful owner. Perfect choice if you want to chill in a quite place.

Agita was very welcoming, giving me some fruit and veg she'd just picked from her garden, and helped me out with the Jurmala fee - you need to pay to pass through Jurmala which will be an unexpected thing for most people. It was a stop-off point for me for a night, so I can't really say how it works if you're exploring Jurmala.

Hi Igor, thank you once again for your hospitality. It was a nice stay for us. regards

Beautiful place on the edge of a strip of woodland a few minutes walk to a lovely calm beach. Bright and very stylish cabin, loads of space with 2 young kids. Well equipped.

It was small good and chill experience. Worth for price.

House was perfect for us. Fence around The yard was great for a dog. Shared yard wasnt problem, yard is big and very beautiful. We used grill outside and had some cucumber from garden. Beach is near and extremly beautiful. Houst was really friendly and house as descripted. Love to come again.

The house is perfectly situated in a pine forest, ideal for enjoying nature as both peaceful and relaxing. Close to the beach and the train station which are within walking distance. Friendly helpful hosts, I would not hestitate to recommend staying here.

Excellent stay in Cēsis, recommend

A wonderful wooden house in a pine forest! Everything is clean, the house is fully equipped. If you walk 5 minutes through the forest you will come out to the endless sea coast! And all this is close to Riga and not far from other attractions - Sigulda, Turaida and Gauja park. Dana and Richard were very friendly and explained us everything we could need.

House was clean, hosts were friendly. There were a lot of things to do. Everything was better than in the photos and as we expected. We had a great time there.

A beautiful, peaceful stay. Alvis and Ilze were fantastic; friendly and very helpful without being intrusive, giving plenty of help both before and during our stay. Both the traditional meal on arrival and the black banya the following evening were excellent, well worth the cost. We would definitely recommend this to anyone!

This is a really lovely cabin, 10 minutes walk from beautiful coastline. the Sauna is fabulous and the huts are well equipped and clean. The two cabins gave us space to do different things, but all come together as well. It is quite near a busy road and the garden isn't fenced, so you have to keep an eye on your dog if you bring one.

We are extremely happy with everything ❤️ Place is definitely soo much better than pictures could show!! Place is amazing! Hosts are very helpful, nice and quick to communicate!! To be fare everything was so good that we didn't need any extra response!! But when needed, it was there! Little touches, such as fresh flowers on fireplace, where very thought full. We do believe that location also is very good! Turaida and Sigulda at door step! Lots to see and explore there!!! Riga is not far at all ether!! We highly recommend to stay at this beautiful home, you are in country side but close enough to explore xxx Thank you very much to our hosts for our comfortable and very enjoyable stay!!! Thank you !!

We had a wonderful stay at the house. The surroundings are stunning: forest full of blueberries, mushrooms and a lake with clean water perfect for swimming. The house has everything you need for a comfortable stay: a well-equipped kitchen, BBQ, bikes, table tennis, basketball hoop, scooters for the kids. Viktorija & Martins are great hosts: always available to help if needed. We have experienced Cyclone Kirsti during our stay. The storm left a few trees broken and blocking the roads to/from the house. Martins was working ready hard to clear the broken trees to make sure that our stay was not affected. There are lots of interesting places to visit that are within 15-25 mins drive. We went to Jurmala and Riga a few times. I really enjoyed the Kemeri bog walk and Ragakāpa Nature Park which has a picturesque and quiet beach. But the kids enjoyed the most Marupe Wake Veikborda park (water obstacle course).

We had a wonderful stay at Brigita and Jurgis’ charming summer house. The home had everything we needed for a comfortable and relaxing getaway. The outdoor patio was a highlight—perfect for sunbathing during the day and enjoying dinners in the evening. The peaceful walk to the beach and nearby forest made the location even more special. We’re already looking forward to coming back next year. Thank you for a lovely experience!

A refuge in the heart of nature. Absolutely recommended. The perfect place to slow down!
