which my husband and I have been restoring completely on our own
for 20 long years.“
In the beautiful location of Tanča gora you will enjoy a completely authentic Bela krajina house – ethno accommodation from the 19th century.
On more than a hectare of land spread out on the hill, there is a forest and meadow with many planted old varieties of apples, pears, plums, walnuts, cherries, peaches, which are also part of our past. Many medicinal herbs and some protected plants, such as the meadow cuckoo, testify to the fact that this is truly an untouched piece of nature.
We have arranged this whole Bela krajina paradise for you with homeliness and simplicity. Here is just the right remoteness and discretion, where a couple can enjoy endless peace and nature. You may only be bothered by a beehive or a deer from a nearby forest.
Your pets will also enjoy the “House for 2”, as they have immense space for movement here. From this point you will be able to ride through the beautiful green corners of Bela krajina by bike, motorbike, car or on foot. I will help you with ideas, as I am a local and experienced guide with experience and knowledge of Bela krajina.

Some traces of space had to be given up and changed to a more modern and, for living in today’s time, more comfortable form. In the renovation of the HIS, we used materials from the past and almost nothing from the store. The wall separating the kitchen and bathroom is built of the brick of my husband’s birth house.
Kitchen and bathroom cabinets are made from the old wood of some other house that the owners demolished and discarded, the bedroom is also from our ancestors. We are very proud of the bread oven, which we restored and kept in its original condition. Its shape is really special, at least 200 years old, and when we light fire in the oven and bake bread inside, the house smells like it used to smell at grandma’s. Traces of the past of a simple Bela krajina man can be felt in the Bela krajina house everywhere you look.
In addition to wood and stone, which inspires my husband, I am fascinated by natural sheep wool. I made the blankets and seats out of it myself. With their pleasant warmth, they invite you to wrap up and immerse yourself in the memory of the past in the Bela krajina house for two.
I believe that you will immediately feel the positive energy, the soul of the old Bela krajina house and have an unforgettable time.
