Rustic Lodge Plitvice is an upscale guesthouse in the village of Jezerce, a short distance from the national park. It trades the scale of a hotel for a smaller, warmer feel: rooms with private yards, a garden and terrace, a bar and an on-site family restaurant. It rates four on its booking page and sits in the middle of the price range, which makes it a good-value base for couples, families and groups of friends.
Location and getting around
Places the park a one-minute walk away, though a drive is wise if you want a specific entrance, and parking is free. Tickets and tours can be arranged by the lodge, which helps if you plan a day trip to Rastoke or the Barać caves. Guests with a car have the most flexibility; without one, ask about transfers.
Rooms and facilities
Rooms include a deluxe double, a triple and a family room for four with two bedrooms and a courtyard view. All have showers, flat-screen televisions, wardrobes and refrigerators, and each room has its own private yard. There is free Wi-Fi, air conditioning, barbecue grills, a bar and a restaurant. Breakfast is a buffet for an additional charge.
Good to know
Check-in runs from mid-afternoon to late evening, and the property does not offer after-hours check-in, so arrange your arrival time in advance. Winter opening is not confirmed for every season, so check when you reserve. It suits families who want a self-contained space and travellers who prefer a guesthouse to a large hotel. The private yard means children can run around without disturbing other guests, the barbecue grills are handy in warm months, and the on-site restaurant saves a drive after a long day on foot.
Because the property is small, you are more likely to get personal tips from the hosts on which route suits your energy and the weather that day, which is worth more than any brochure.
