A winter weekend at your own pace

Leave room for a pause. A little time outdoors and a long evening at the cabin can make a day feel complete.

01 · Morning

Coffee with a forest view

Share breakfast, then choose a short walk if weather and road conditions allow. On a snowy morning, you can also enjoy the view from the living room.

02 · Afternoon

Warm hot tub and panoramic sauna

The hot tub and sauna are included when you book direct. Arrange preparation with your host and follow the instructions for use, especially when the terrace is wet or icy.

03 · Evening

Dinner, games and conversation

The equipped kitchen and shared living room make evenings at home easy. Cook together, bring your favourite games and leave time to catch up.

Before you head for the mountains

The drive and your arrival

Check the forecast and ask your host about access before setting off. Prepare your car for winter conditions and allow extra time for mountain roads. Check-in is from 16:00; check-out is by 11:00.

Packing for cold days

Bring shoes with good grip, warm layers, gloves and spare clothes for children. For the hot tub, pack swimwear and suitable footwear for walking across the terrace.

Trips that suit the weather

Choose shorter outings and check opening times before travelling. Outdoor play areas, the suspended net and swing depend on weather and your host’s advice; do not assume they can be used in icy conditions.

KayLuna is in Mătișești, Horea, in the Apuseni Mountains of Transylvania, western Romania.

Cluj-Napoca’s Avram Iancu International Airport (CLJ) is approximately 1 hour 40 minutes away by car. Allow extra time in winter; the journey depends on the route, traffic and weather.
