Welcome
Carpenter's Dream House is an entire private house on the edge of the forest. Six bedrooms mean everyone has a quiet corner of their own, while the generous shared rooms bring the group back together — around the long table, by the fire in the winter garden, or in the games room, where the evening usually runs later than planned.
The house is built of wood and still breathes it. Around it lies the fenced property, and behind it the forest. No immediate neighbours, no noise — simply a place that is entirely yours for the week.
The house
The heart of the house is a spacious dining and communal room where the whole group can sit down at once. Breakfasts stretch into the morning and dinners into long conversations.
There is room for board games, planning the next day's outing, or simply staying at the big table a little longer.
The kitchen is fully equipped with everything you need to prepare shared meals — from a stove and oven to a large refrigerator and enough kitchenware for a larger group.
A practical layout lets several people cook at once, so breakfasts and dinners can be prepared for everyone at the same time.
The glazed winter garden with its fireplace is the calmest part of the house. Fire, a view into the trees and quiet — even when it is snowing outside.
Perfect for morning coffee, a late conversation or reading while the others play next door.
The games room with table tennis and darts is where generations mix fastest.
It is also a welcome answer to a rainy or very cold day when outdoor plans have to wait.
Six bedrooms let each family or generation keep their own calm, even when travelling together.
In total, the house sleeps up to 12 guests.
The outdoor area is private and fenced, which matters especially when travelling with children.
Lawn, forest edge and enough space to play without anyone having to watch the road.
The covered wooden pavilion in the garden keeps outdoor gatherings going even when the weather is not entirely on your side.
In the evening it is usually the last stop of the day — under a roof, in the fresh air.
Who it suits
The house is designed for people travelling together — from larger families to team buildings, retreats and similar events — who need space for everyone without giving up quiet or privacy.
Enough bedrooms and shared space for everyone at once.
Room for parents, children and grandparents under one roof.
A shared dining room and separate bedrooms for each family.
A quiet stay in nature, with no immediate neighbours.
Peaceful family gatherings are possible by prior agreement.
A private house in nature for collaboration, relaxation and shared moments for the team.
A space for quiet rest, yoga, meditation or creative workshops.
The large dining room and winter garden suit smaller group work.

Gallery
Photographs of the house, the shared rooms, the bedrooms and the surroundings. We publish only real images of the property.
We are gradually adding new spaces for relaxing, spending time together and shared experiences.
In spring 2027 we plan to open a heated outdoor pool, which will further enrich the property's offer and give guests even more relaxation surrounded by nature.
From October 2026, guests are expected to have access to a private sauna, a massage pool, a relaxation and social space, a wine room, and a large fully equipped garden kitchen with a big grill and an island.
