This was the perfect tree lined cabin retreat. We stayed here for 6 nights during our time exploring Plitvice Lakes National Park. This place felt peaceful and like a step back in time. Wood fired BBQ, hammocks and outdoor seating areas were nice. Pet friendly for our little pup. Everything was clean and well maintained. You need a vehicle here, same as other places in the area. I’d stay again and highly recommend!

Fairy tale hotel
This place is like a fairy tale, we absolutely loved Rústico! It’s so green, the little cabins and rooms are perfect for one or two nights to visit the park.
The lady who welcome us was so sweet and nice.
Also, the people at the restaurant were very nice and the food was incredible!
Thank you for such a wonderful experience

Perfect stop on our way to Plitvice Lakes National Park, which was roughly a 15 minute drive. Room was clean, staff were helpful, and the nearby restaurant where we checked in and out had great food. Highly recommended.

Clean, comfortable, great location
We really enjoyed our stay. The property is in a quiet street, but only a few minutes’ drive from the national park entrances. Rooms are simple, but comfortable, spacious and well equipped. Beds and pillows were very comfortable, better than many accommodations I’ve stayed in. The lodging is under the same ownership as a nearby restaurant, where we had tasty breakfast and dinner, and friendly service.

Place was clean, friendly and great value.
They even did my friend’s laundry for no charge.
The associated restaurant was very good for dinner and not bad for breakfast.

Really cute location and nice people. The check in is at the restaurant where you are greeted with a welcome drink (of your choice). The room was quite nice. The bed was 2 twins made together, but this seems to be the standard throughout Croatia and Italy? Would recommend if you need accommodations near the Park (10 minute drive).

Wonderful Hotel, Great Location
We had a fantastic stay at House Rustico! We were welcomed at the nearby Restaurant Vila Velebita with a complementary drink. Everyone was really friendly and the check in was really straightforward. The property is very close by and is in a relaxed, quiet location with plenty of parking and a nice place to sit outdoors. The room was super comfortable, very clean and we felt very relaxed there. The check out was very simple and was also at the restaurant where we had an excellent breakfast before our day at the Plitvice Lakes National Park. I highly recommend staying here!

Good value for money stayover location near the beautiful Plitvice lakes in Central Croatia. Not really en route to anything else than that though. We spent 2 nights and the room was basic but comfortable. The direct area around the apartment doesn't have that many options, so either take a drive to some other settlement, or consider the bistro associated to the facility, which is very decent.

Fantastic family friendly home!
A fabulous small house with everything you could want and more than you would expect. Family owned & operated, and they were all very kind, informative, and friendly. Check in & out was at a nearby Bistro (amazing food and service) was quick and simple. They have multiple tables and chairs to hand out at outside the home, and relaxing hammocks. 10/10 would recommend and would return!
