Forest Hug is easily one of the best Airbnb places we've stayed. Vilnis was an excellent host who really looked after us well, and the place itself is great for some peace and relaxation. It's very convenient for the whole of the Gauja National Park, and in a perfect spot in Līgatne village. Tourist info, a little convenience shop, and access to the woods are all within metres. Would definitely recommend to everyone.

I only stayed for one night. But it was a very peaceful stay. The apartment is close to the city center (less than 5 minutes walking). It's also about 15 minutes walk to the central train station. It's a bit of a walk to get to the Gauji, but not bad. It's about 30 minutes walking. I recommend Klaid's place if you are in Cesis.

Had a pleasant stay at Klaids place. Very good location, easy accessible.

Nice and cosy appartement with a well equipped kitchen. Great location close to the town square. The sleeping/living room is separated from the room where the host lives by one door, meaning that you might hear sometime from one another. We had a great time in Cēsis thanks to this appartment. Would definitely recommend staying here!

Nice central place and parking possibility next to the house.

5 star review --- value + location.

OK

Nice place in a very beautiful city. Helpful host. If i go back to Cesis, Klaids will be my choice

Simple and charming place which has everything needed even for a week stay. Moreover, Klaids is helpful, flexible in arrival time and provides advises. The only thing I could criticize is frequently audible talk due to host living right next door.

Thank you very much for helping my friends have a nice evening

The listing description was perfectly accurate. The place was sparkling clean, and the appliances were all new. The apartment was newly remodeled as well. The neighborhood is safe and walking distance from the center of Cesis. Nataliya was extremely responsive to all our inquiries and speaks good English and Russian.

Everything was good! Host was very kind. Room was clean and comfy.

Though it feels a bit like soviet nostalgia from outside, Natalia's rooms are nice and renovated and actually the house is very quiet and safe.

Host was very friendly and welcoming.Apartment was brand new and modern,exactly like the pictures.The area was very quite,the wifi was very good and fast.We recommend to stay in this (URL HIDDEN) you,it was nice to stay there.

Great experience! Nothing bad to say, would totally recommend for guests of Cēsis. Close to the center, flexible and warm.

A nice home to stay and explore Cēsīs from. Nataliya was very friendly and communicative and offered to show us some local trails. In case you plan to come by bus/train, I suggest you to take local bus 9 or 10, direction Cata, which drops you directly at the entrance to the building (price 0.50 EUR).

We had a wonderful stay at Maija's place. The treehouse is absolutely stunning. Maija and her husband are perfect hosts and keep the whole place in a perfect condition. We enjoyed the perfect silence next to the lake and found an almost perfect starting point for our day trips around the Gauja National Park. If you are looking for a special kind of layover or maximum relaxation, you should plan your stay at Maija's Treehouse!

The most amazing experience, we absolutely loved the treehouse, the surroundings and the area was beautiful. There was so much to do, and the lake was magical.

It was a great pleasure to spend couple of days in this magnificent place. Treehouse is lovely and the morning view breathing. Maija and her husband are very friendly, cheerful and humble peorsons. I can highly recommend the place. 5/5 for every reason! : )

Don't doubt, this place should be on your bucket list! Grill food at the fireplace, drink a beer, take a swim in the lake, read a good book in the sunny garden, sleep closest to nature and wake up by daylight seeing the forest and the lake as first thing in the morning. No more is needed to be happy!

We stayed in Maija's treehouse for 2 nights and it was perfect! It was very clean with a beautiful view right over the lake. Check-in process was smooth, Maija was very responsive. Wish we had more time here. Highly recommended!

As a mid-aged couple, we enjoyed our stay at this tree-house a lot. The scenery from the house and its proximity was just gorgeous; the lake was perfect for swimming; and the hosts - Maija and Valdis - were really friendly and helpful. There was some sort of zen-like vibe all around the place. We can highly recommend the sauna ritual as well. Overall, we had a very special experience and we would like to stay there some other time.

We had 3 days at Maija and her family. The tree house and grounds are beautiful and very clean / neat. Maija and her husband are very nice and you can tell that they make their surroundings lovingly. We would come back anytime. Thanks for the beautiful days on the lake.

Nice host, everything was as promised.

Amazing location for the apartment. Really hospitable.

Very well positioned apartment in historical (renovation in progress) building with very good view. Apartment is more like a room, not posh, but minimalistically stylish. Loved the wooden floors. Rihards is a very nice guy - he met us strictly at arranged time, both on check-in and check-out, told everything we would need to know, and recommended places to eat out. Recommended.

Rihards has been a fantastic host and was even able to provide us with a crib for our 6m old baby. Nice city center location, we would stay there again.

Wonderful host, great place, amazing neighborhood! I'll be happy to stay there again.

Very tastefully restored studio appartment in the very middle of town. Comfortable and pleasant place. A great base from which to visit the Gauja National Park. Friendly and efficient welcome by Rihards.

The apartment was lovely, just as described. Really nice, warm, spacious studio flat in a nice street. Very quiet and yet in the heart of the city. Easy self check-in and Rihards responded very quickly to my messages. I would definitely hope to use the apartment on any future visit to Cēsis

Please do not be turned off by the lack of reviews; we are proud to be the third ever group of guests to Rihard's lovely apartment. The location of the apartment was great, and Rihards is the most helpful and friendliest person ever. We asked for directIons to the Eagle Cliffs and Rihards very kindly contacted a friend and gave us the most interesting and unique experience of rowing a boat down the Gauja River. On top of that, Rihards offered us a lift when we informed him of our early bus on the day of checking out. Cēsis is also a town that anyone with a love for nature, culture and history, should visit. All in all, a wonderful and unforgettable stay, and we highly recommend Rihards and his apartment :)

Great place to stay in the heart of Cesis.

Gunta's house is nestled in the countryside, surrounded by a pond. Everything is peace and quiet there. We also enjoyed very much Gunta's homemade pancakes and jams for breakfast. Simply delicious !

Good stay, pleasant house in a very nice environment

Guntas place was nice but different then I expected it would be from the pictures. You will stay at the second house not the wooden one as I thought. It's just the Latvian bathhouse which cost 70€ extra. Would have been nice to knew this before cause I booked the accommodation too because of the nice looking "bath area".Also it was hard to find, the spot which is on the map does not fit to the description.The rest was fine, nice room at a quiet clean place with lots of nature around!

Very nice host. Calm and beautiful place. I recomand ;)

There is no pictures of the rooms that we get, and they were worse than the rooms in pictures. Host and staff is pleasant but we would not have booked if we saw the rooms that we got. Its not bad, but not what we expected.

Very nice host with a beautiful house

Точка на карте приводит в деревню Драбеши. Чтобы правильно доехать - читайте описание. Мы приехали в точку на карте - это было село Драбеши. Нам там помогли местные добрые люди - один из них на машине проводил нас до места назначения. Необходимо было проехать еще 5 км. На фото указано два дома - один большой с баней и прудом, но мы жили в небольшой доме, получили два номера на втором этаже с общим душем. Один с двуспальной кроватью, другой с двумя односпальными. Номера уютные, удобные. Все понравилось. На фотографиях была ванна, но она есть только в семейном номере с 6 кроватями - взамен нам на следующий день затопили баню. И это бесплатно. Заказывали завтраки за 3 евро. Место красивое, близко до Цесиса и других достопримечательностей. Если будем в этих краях, остановимся здесь еще раз.

Valdis was very frinedly and welcoming Host and provided us everything what we needed and even offered ride from train to his house.

Very nice area. Quiet place. Everything was clean and the rooms were nice. I would recommend staying at Valdis place!

A good stay! We even got picked up at the bus station.

Great place, very sociable and helpful hosts, good kitchen, clean, quiet, great bathroom. All matches the description and photos. Recommend.

Apartement is as advertised, communication was easy, check in flexible, can recomend :)

Отличный вариант для семьи. Уютные и чистые комнаты с регулируемыми радиаторами. Душ с горячей водой. Парковка. Вежливый и гостеприимный хозяин. Дом находится в 5 минутах езды от горнолыжных курортов Ozolkalns и Zagarkalns. Обязательно вернемся! ---------- Very good accommodation, especially for families. Clean and cozy rooms. Rooms are equipped with adjustable radiators. Hot water is absolutely there. Parking spaces are available. The host is kind and friendly. Ozolkalns Zagarkalns 5 minutes away, and the mountains. Be sure to come back yet. -------- Ideal for famaly. Nice and clean rooms with regulated heating. Shower with hot water. Parking place. Friendly hosts. 5 minutes driving to Ozolkalns and Zagarkalns. Surely will stay there again.

It was great to stay in house. The host Valdis was very nice and helpful. The house is actually his family home, but we did feel like it is only for us, because the 2 rooms we took was located on the second floor with private bathroom. Comfortable beds and clean linen an towels. And also big garden near house where we where sitting til late. Not too far from city center - it took us about 15 minutes by slow walking. The price is good and I suggest Valdis as the best host! If needed I will definitely choose this place again. Thank You, Valdis!

If you see a night club at the ground floor more like an opportunity rather than your sleep killer, this is likely to be top place in Cesis. Great location, very clean apartment & friendly host.

Cesis is a little paradise and Zane's place is a paradise in the paradise: perfect location, super charming, located in ancient historic building on the main street of the city center, but very quiet and with a supermarket nearby, with a place for parking, and super cozy and comfortable. I could not wish anything better than this! Thanks so much Zane for hosting us and even letting us find food in the fridge when we arrived in the first evening !!!!!

The flat is in the heart of the town, just five minutes walk from the church and the castle. There is also a small supermarket less that 100m away. It is only a 10 minute easy walk from the train and bus station. Zane very kindly agreed to meet us early and was very helpful in showing us around. The flat is spacious and light and the bathroom and kitchen have everything you need for a holiday stay. There are a few problems. The main one was that the east facing main bedroom window had no curtains or blinds. We could also clearly hear the nightclub downstairs into the small hours on the Saturday night, but it was closed on Sunday and Monday. It was a great flat, with lots of history and character.

Zane was very welcoming. Apartment is great. In the middle of Cesis, between church square with restaurants on one, and a supermarket on the other side. Very spacious apartment like on the fotos. Had fruit and cookies for welcoming. Could even use the sauna. Can recommend to everyone!

Actually the best appartment that we ever stay. Host was very happy to meet us. In kitchen was every thing that we need, full equipment. In frig was milk, beer, juices, chees... Building in central street, very clean -actually new. Sauna with every thing. Im very happy about this staying .

This place is pretty cool. The club is right below the apartment so it's super convenient for a group of friends like mine, to go back and forth. Nice an spacious, room for plenty of people. The sauna took the cake though. We definitely put it to good use.

Easily accessible and everything you need is just a few minutes walk. The apartment is very spacious and clean. All daily needs are provided. There's also a nice fireplace :)

Very good!

Very beautiful cottage near Gauja river. It is charming place. Hosts are very hospitable. Highly recommended!

Paldies par uzņemšanu - mūsu brīvdienas bija izdevušās par 100%! Vietu atradām viegli, no Cēsu centra atbraucām mazāk kā 10 minūšu laikā. Netālu no namiņa var atstāt auto. Lai gan netālu dzīvo paši saimnieki un pāris kaimiņi, to principā nejutām, jo pats namiņš ir nelielā nogāzē. Tā kā laiks bija ļoti labs, izgājām nelielā pastaigā pa mežu, bet gandrīz visu atlikušo laiku nodzīvojāmies pa namiņu, kuram ir neliela jauka āra terase. Viss bija tieši tā kā aprakstīts un redzams fotogrāfijās.Vakarā izbaudījām pirtī iešanu (pie namiņa ir arī neliels dīķis, kurā var atvēsināties) un atklājām grillēšanas sezonu. Pilnīgi noteikti noķērām "aizmukt no pilsētas" sajūtu.Divatā vai ar draugiem, bet domāju, ka atgriezīsimies te vēl.

We had a great time in this lovely cottage! It's a charming and peaceful area, also near from Cesis and outdoor activities. Ilze and her parents are perfect hosts, very welcoming, and make us feel like home. I definitely recommend ! Thanks again for the delicious goods from the garden :)

The house is very cozy and quiet. Nevertheless, one is very fast with the car in the city. Ilze has always responded immediately to news and was very helpful. From their parents, we even get home-grown tomatoes.

The stay was really nice. The cabin is lovely and has everything you need. Especially the indoor sauna was really nice. Communication with Ilze was very friendly, although onsite her parents managed everything. But they were really nice as well and gave us lots of fresh produce. So if you are going, go to the cabin first before you go to the supermarket. ;)

The cottage is just as awesome as it looks on the photos. We really enjoyed the stay, Ilze's parents are really sweet and helpful and provided us with vegetables and berries. If you're there, try the sauna and jump in the little lake, best feeling! Thumbs up

I wish we would have planned for a longer stay here! Although the place is very close to Cesis and two skiing tracks (which are active only when it snows) it was superbly tranquil. For the price this is a bargain. Kitchen was well equipped and even included complimentary coffee an tea. We didn't use the free sauna but it looked nice and had the right scent of wood and herbs. Our child had great contact with the host on Oskars who even showed her a forest strawberry patch.

Paldies Murmuļmuižas saimniekiem! Viss bija lieliski. Māja ir ļoti skaistā vietā, tīra, aprīkota ar visu nepieciešamo un vēsajā rudens dienā patīkami silta. Noteikti iesaku! Laba atpūta pie dabas!

Very nice house in the forest, next to the lake (little boat included). The road access is a little inconvenience but the way is worth. The house has actually 2 separate bedrooms and a living room with sofa-bed.

Very nice place. Comfortable, clean house and beautiful surroundings. We loved it very much!

It is a second time we stay at Evija's place. Everything was perfect: clean and cozy. We felt very welcomed.

A lovely and cozy house. Great (very helpful) hosts, tried to make everything to make our stay as comfortable as possible (there was even a Christmas tree and toys for children :)). Great sauna!

We had a really great experience at this accommodation. Evija and all her lovely family made us feel so welcome. As others have commented, we were given some tasty local beer and rye bread (the best we tasted through the Baltic States). We opted for a sauna ritual - don't miss this opportunity, it's a fascinating and wonderfully relaxing experience. and afterwards on a clear evening we sat and watched the meteorites in a really dark sky. The chalet is new and of a beautiful pale wood with a large sauna that smells absolutely georgeous - woody and herby. The location is good for the Gauja National Park. It's a perfect place for children with a pond to swim in. We also enjoyed the tail end of the blackcurrant season. Thank you very much to Evija and her family and friends we would have been very happy to stay longer.

Highly recommend Evija's chalet for a fantastic, unique, comfortable, quality experience! The place is exactly as advertised. Very special. Host: communication with Evija was a breeze. I speak only English and English is one of many languages she speaks well. Check in and arrival and all other needs were handled with ease. Evija lives right next to chalet, so you get best of both worlds if you want privacy but access to quick help if needed with travel, whatever. Place: 2 story yurt style chalet with finishes that feel like new, huge private sauna! My favorite part was the 2 fireplaces, both with when ready logs for you to keep the fire going. Love this was the actual heat source. The unit is deceptively large - lots of space inside. All necessary kitchen items included, I made dinner there easily during my stay. Very quiet and comfortable. Location: fantastic launch point for Gauja hiking and Cesis. Thank you, Evija, for a great place and host!

We simply loved it! Evija is a great hostess and made us feel warmly welcomed, expecting us with a big smile, fireplace going, candle lit, some honey,fresh flowers, some chocolates, locally brewed beer and explaining us all about sauna rituals and some other stories of Latvian traditions. The place is very cosy, very warm, clean and quite spacey. There are all the essentials for cooking a nice dinner or breakfast. Two great double beds. Location is also very beautiful and quite a lot to see nearby. Overall- we are be more than happy to come back soon and send also my family over to enjoy this beautiful spot! Thank You very much Evija! Ieva&Tamir

the place was finished to a very high standard. the sauna and cabin was incredible. we loved the pond close by with table and fireplace. the location is also great for exploring gauja np!

I will be brief: Evia and Kristaps! Many thanks to you for the cordial and warm welcome. All will be advised to go to your house: families with kids have something to do, and romantic couples provided. Frankly, this place associated best impression of the Baltic States. Thank you, Sergei.

The welcome was very warm and there was a bottle of locally brewed beer done. The setting is really beautiful, and unfortunately we were too short (only 1 night) to enjoy this. Around the house are plenty of play areas for smaller children.

An amazing cabin in an amazing location. Absolutely beautiful and highly recommended!

Great place for a countryside getaway with an amazing view. Extremely cosy, fully equiped place with everything one may need for a nice stay. We were welcomed with a warm sauna and hosts very kindly agreed to help with our forgotten belongings. Without any doubts would reccomend!

A beautiful house in the nature next to a see. The silent place will show you a great view. The rooms are perfect to relax. There are also a place to babecue and a sauna. You will have a great time in Raiskums

Such a lovely, quiet and special place! Just as you imagine a small house at the lake - but even better! It has a sauna!! Totally enjoyed it!

We can't overstate how much we enjoyed our short stay at this cabin. We arrived after a day of heavy snow which added to the experience immensely; sitting in the cozy cabin looking over the frozen lake at a group of people ice fishing will be a memory that stays with us for ever. The sauna was just what we needed after a day skiing near Cesis, not quite brave enough for a roll in the snow afterwards though! Jānis was a great host, giving us a thorough introduction to the cabin but then leaving us with our privacy. We only stayed for 2 nights and regret not having much longer, we'll be back.

It was unbelievable beautifull! On our arrival the sauna was ready to use. Lovely and absolutely clean wooden house. Really friendly hosts. <3

This place was beautiful. The cabin was small yet cosy. The panoramic views where sublime. This was a place where we could relax and unwind. The sauna was a treat too. Very friendly hosts as well. Would highly recommend.

Welcoming was superb

Best place to be! Relaxed. Why? Comfortable sauna (prepared by the host) create your own campfire, cycling outside (the host was offering his bikes). Clean and comfortable place. Excellent!

We liked everything! The friendly and helpful host. The house is clean and cozy. The owner has a very good dog African. The dog came to us on the porch in the morning and having fun playing with us and our daughter.

Excellently the best spot!

My stay with Aivars was exceptionally good. The flat looks great and I cant say any things bad about nature!! fantastic green area and lake and... I sincerely enjoyed it. Great location, safe place,well equipped and comfortable ! everything is very convenient. But the best part was my host. Aivars and his wife are great hosts! They are ready to help you at any time. Without them it would not be the same experience . they prepare fantastic breakfast in the morning and Aivars help with preparing the sauna and BBQ place. two cute girls playing in the yard and ofcourse a friendly dog"Afro". Aivars gave me lot of advises where to go and how to spend time and all of them were 100% useful! I already told all my friend how great it was to meet this place. Shall somebody go there without any doubt I will recommend to meet Aivars and stay at his place.

The time that we spent at Aivars' place was just perfect! The house looks exactly like in the pictures and it was obvious that the hosts have put a lot of effort in order for our stay to be as good as possible. Their dog was also very friendly!

Sauna with wood directly in the guest house. The area with green gazonchik, cute dog and a sandbox. Microwave, kettle, fridge, a sofa for two + child 4 years. We spent the night. All right, we recommend. Coordinates for such as we (URL HIDDEN)

Aivars is a lovely host, he was so helpful & his dog Afro is so sweet! Accommodation is as on the photos, the place is so clean!!! We borrowed his bikes and cycled the short ride to a lake and spent the day there swimming and sunbathing. Sauna was a lovely extra. You must stay here if you're looking for a relaxing get away!
