About this property

Spacious family chalet 200m from Lake Bohinj

Tucked away along the banks of the crystal clear Sava Bohinjka river just a stone's throw from breathtaking Lake Bohinj, in the charming little alpine village of Ribčev Laz, you'll find our cozy home away from home. We hope you'll love it as much as we do!

With its spectacular location within Triglav National Park in Slovenia’s Julian Alps, our chalet sits nestled in a tranquil little grove of holiday homes an easy stroll along the river to Lake Bohinj. Hidden away from the tourist traffic, with no cars near the house, it’s a perfect place for kids and adults alike to relax, explore and play!

At the same time, you're only a short distance from everything you need to turn your active holiday into the experience of a lifetime: fill yourself on local Slovenian trout; jump in crystal-clear waters; get yourself up a sheer rock face; work your thighs on limitless bike trails; get paddling on a canoe, kayak or SUP, and more – all just a 2-minute walk away.

From the center of Ribčev Laz, you can enjoy the spectacular lake view from the stone bridge, visit the church of St. John the Baptist, take the tourist boat across the lake to Ukanc or set off for a walk around Lake Bohinj. This is also where you can rent bikes, canoes, kayaks, SUPs, rowboats and plan all your activities. The tourist info center will fill you in on everything there is to do in this amazing area.

It's also where you'll also find lively outdoor restaurants and cafes serving delicious local dishes, locally-caught trout, pizza and more. One of our personal favorites is Foksner, where you can enjoy out-of-this-world burgers and a large selection of Slovenia's tasty craft beers on the terrace. There's also a small supermarket, post office and a bank machine.

The chalet spreads across two floors. On the ground floor, a large open-plan living area opens onto a terrace, where we like to enjoy Slovenian delicacies and drinks at the large wooden picnic table. The lounge area has a large, plush corner sofa perfect for crashing out on after an active day in the mountains. The dining area has a large table and chairs to seat up to eight. And a comfy carpet with bean bags make a great play area for kids.

The kitchen offers plenty of counter space and comes equipped with an oven, electric stove, dishwasher, microwave and a utility room with a large fridge and washer/dryer.

There is also a bathroom with a bath, a toilet, a sink and storage space.

Upstairs, you’ll find the large master bedroom, which boasts high ceilings with exposed beams and opens onto a wooden balcony with a small table and chairs. The bedroom comes furnished with a king-sized bed, wardrobes and plenty of space for a baby bed, which we can make available for you.

Down the hall are another double bedroom, with a king-sized bed, and a twin bedroom, with two single beds, each furnished with a chest of drawers and a wardrobe.

There is also a second bathroom with a shower, a toilet, a sink and storage space.

Schönes Haus in super Lage
Wir haben den Aufenthalt hier sehr genossen. Das Haus liegt super, wirklich nah am See, nah an Einkaufsmöglichkeiten und anderen Möglichkeiten (Restaurant, Sportcenter, Minigolf...) und trotzdem ruhig und einigermaßen im Grünen. Das direkt daneben liegende Hotel ist eigentlich durch die Bäume nicht wahrnehmbar. Das Haus selber bietet alles, was man braucht, inkl. Geschirrspülmaschine und Waschmaschine, Möglichkeiten zum Draußensitzen, Grill, ausreichend Stauraum. Es ist gemütlich und geschmackvoll eingerichtet. Der Kontakt zum Gastgeber war freundlich und unkompliziert. In Summe sehr empfehlenswert!

Familienurlaub
Wir waren mit fünf Personen in diesem Haus in Urlaub u.es war unser erster Urlaub nach drei Jahren. Deswegen haben wir den schon etwas enormen Preis für das Ferienhaus bezahlt.die Miete ist schon sehr hoch angesetzt,doch bin in der Hinsicht auch zwiegespaltet u.würde es nicht negativ auslegen. Das Haus ist super ausgestattet u.hat alle notwendigen Utensilien,die man brauch.wie ein Töpfchen(das wir brauchten,müsste man mal ersetzen?!)u.die vielen abwechslungsreichen Spielsachen im Schrank mit der sich unsere Tochter jeden Tag aufs neue beschäftigt hat. Was mir wichtig wäre, wäre das Reinigungsmittel im Bad sicherer vor Kinder verstaut werden! Die Lage vom Haus ist super u.ist wie beschrieben…die Abkürzung zum See könnte man vll mal verbessern, denn dieser kann für manche Menschen oder auch mit den jeweiligen Schuhen gefährlich werden. Eine Runde um den See sind 12 km u.lassen sich sehr gut laufen…viele schöne versteckte Naturereignisse sind zu sehen. Um das Haus herum befinden sich Supermarkt und Restaurants(das Essen ist jedoch nicht abwechslungsreich u.kein Gaumenschmaus)! Der Verleih von Kanus und Stand-Up Paddles ist top!Können wir als Familie nur empfehlen. Haben eine gute Preisvorstellung und ist bezahlbar! Macht auch mega viel Spaß u.ist sehr abenteuerlich. See war nicht überlaufen von Menschen.schöne versteckte Plätze! Wir hatten den Zwiespalt,auf der einen Seite hatten wir Teenager dabei u.noch unsere zweijährige Tochter,doch konnten allen gerecht werden.😅🏔️

Super convenient
Good location, well equipped, plenty of space for family of 5. Quite close to other chalets but secluded as it’s the end one. Outside table and great Weber bbq. Would’ve liked little more garden for relaxing outside but lake is so close you can go there instead within 5 mins. Loads to do nearby and the lake is beautiful.

Scenic Location
The chalet is just a short walk from the beautiful lake and several restaurants and a supermarket. From one bedroom you can hear the babbling stream. The beds are comfortable and the apartment is spacious and in a private location at the far end of a small cluster of chalets. Self-check-in was a breeze.

Eine schöne Pfingstwoche
Vorab: es ist alles so, wie es Brian beschreibt und wie es angegeben ist. Keine bösen Überraschungen. Alles da, was man braucht. Ein Mercator-Supermarkt versorgte uns mit allem was wichtig ist und ist zu Fuß drei Minuten weg. Gelegenheiten zum Essen gehen sind vorhanden. Gute Ausgangslage für viele Aktivitäten! Ljubljana ist einen Ausflug wert, der See bietet zig Bademöglichkeiten, ganz zu schweigen von der phantastischen Natur. Die ruhige Bootsfahrt auf dem See kann man machen, muss man nicht. Wir haben ein SUP für einen Tag ausgeliehen. Für uns und unsere drei Teeny-Kids eine willkommene Abwechslung (30€ / Tag) Wer die Natur um Bled schätzt, aber den touristischen Trubel nicht benötigt ist hier gut beraten. Wobei es an den Wochenenden einen deutlichen Zulauf gibt.

Sehr schönes Ferienhaus in bester Umgebung
Das geräumige und sehr gut eingerichtete Ferienhaus liegt inmitten von etwa 12 - 15 weiteren Domizilen in fast direkter Umgebung von See und Fluss. Supermarkt, Restaurant etc. sind innerhalb von 5 Minuten zu Fuß erreichbar. Trotzdem liegt die Siedlung etwas versteckt und entfernt von allem Trubel des Orts. Das Haus selbst liegt hinter einem Wall zum Hotel Bohinj. Durch diese Lage erhält das Haus etwas weniger Licht und ist tendenziell etwas kälter. Die Einrichtung des Hauses ist ausgezeichnet. Hervorzuheben ist der Pelletofen, der eine wohlige Athmosphäre erzeugt, die gute Ausstattung der Küche mit Geschirr, Gewürzen etc. und der Außensitzplatz. Das WLAN ist im Erdgeschoss perfekt (Streaming kein Problem) und im Obergeschoss gut. Brian, der Vermieter antwortet sehr schnell und ist absolut hilfreich. Insgesamt hat uns (Familie mit zwei Söhnen) der Urlaub in Ribcev Laz sehr viel Spaß gemacht. Die Umgebung ist wunderschön und sehr gut für Outdoor Aktivitäten. Wir sind viel gewandert, wofür der Ort ein ausgezeichneter Ausgangspunkt ist. Wer allerdings ins Soca-Tal möchte, muss trotz einer Luftlinenentfernung von 15 km einen Anfahrtsweg von 1,5 Stunden einkalkulieren. Das Haus ist unbedingt empfehlenswert für einen Urlaub im Triclav.

Heerlijk verblijf
Het huis was ruim op een fijne locatie en op loopafstand van het meer. De keuken was super uitgerust. Alles aanwezig en van goede kwaliteit: scherpe messen, uitstekende koekenpannen en zelfs een staafmixer en een veelheid aan kruiden. In de slaapkamers grote bedden met goed liggende matrassen en veel bergruimte voor kleding. Door de ligging bleef het huis zonder airco goed koel. Het contact met eigenaar was prima. We hebben een fantastische vakantie gehad mede door het prettige verblijf in het huis.

Authentic spacious well equipped accomodation in idyllic location
Despite the new constructed hotel nearby the location is still very idyllic also thanks to the river not far away. It is a good starting point for lots of activitys e.g. Trip to Vogel, Ranch Mrcina (pony riding), Bled..Supermarked and restaurants and centre is easily in walking range. The accomodation itself is very well equipped (we even baked a cake) and very spacy. The owner reacts very fast to requests. So absolutly recommendable.

Perfect location!
We had a wonderful stay! The location is really perfect near the lake and with a supermarket and restaurants within walking distance. There is also plenty to do in the area (including the Bohinj Cycle Route, hiking at Vogel, the Vintgar gorge). The house is fully equipped and cool in the summer despite the lack of air conditioning. For us personally the beds were a bit too soft, but that is our only comment. We definitely recommend this house!

About the host

Hosted by Brian Fleming

Host profile image
I was born in Germany, but grew up in the US. I've been living in Prague since 2003, where I met my wife, Iveta. Together, we have a wonderful little daughter, Vivienne., and a son, Marcus As a family, we love skiing, hiking, traveling, eating good food and drinking good wine and beer and generally having a good laugh with our friends and getting to know people.

Why they chose this property

With its spectacular location within Triglav National Park just 200 m from outrageously beautiful Lake Bohinj, our cozy cottage is perfect for visitors who want to enjoy the lake, river, mountains and food of the incredible Bohinj valley without having to go far to do so. It's all right there just outside the door!

What makes this property unique

Our little cottage sits nestled in a tranquil little grove of holiday homes. Step outside the front door and you can hear the gently rolling sound of the Sava Bohinjka river tickle the breeze. With no cars near the house, it’s a perfect place for kids – and adults! – to play by the river or take the shortcut to the lake, which is only 200 m away. There you'll find lively outdoor restaurants serving delicious local dishes, locally-caught trout, pizza and seafood, not to mention our favorite, a lovely little craft beer and burger bar, plus the tourist info center, a small supermarket, cafes, a bike and boat rental shop, a natural rock climbing wall, and more.
