The only deer park in Latvia

Feed a deer
at your doorstep

A deer park, a carp pond by the lake, and four cottages to stay the night. Not a tourist attraction — a private forest where you can walk among deer. 2 hours from Riga.

Only in Latvia

The only deer park you can stay overnight at.

Only 25% of Latvian rentals sit by a lake. With a deer park — we are alone.

— The Deer Park

Deer that come to you .

Not a zoo behind glass — a private park where deer roam free. Bring a carrot or an apple, and they'll come close enough to hear their breath. Kids don't want to leave; adults forget about their phones.

The park is ours. Five-minute walk from any cottage. Drop in at dawn, at sunset, at night with a torch. It's part of your stay, not a separate ticket.

— Park rules

The park is a private forest. We treat it gently and calmly.

Gently with the deer

Don't chase them, don't shout, no sudden moves. Feed slowly with an open palm. Deer have antlers — don't put your face right up against them, don't grab them by the neck. If a deer steps away — don't follow.

What to bring

Carrots and apples for the deer, salad leaves for the rabbits. Any fresh vegetable works. Don't bring bread, chocolate, crisps, anything salty or spicy — they get sick from that. We always have a free stash at reception.

So everyone leaves happy

Park hours are 8:00–22:00. Children stay with an adult at all times. No outside dogs in the park (they frighten the deer — but they're welcome at the cottage). No alcohol or loud noise inside the park. From May to September, treat your clothes against ticks.

The park is a private forest with wild animals; their behaviour cannot be predicted. By entering, visitors accept responsibility for their own safety and for those with them. The hosts thank you for caring for this small world.

— How it works

Three steps to meeting deer.

01

Key in a lockbox. We send everything you need on WhatsApp. No queues.

Walk to the park

Five minutes from any cottage. The deer are already waiting — especially if you've been before.

— Place story

Where time slows down and the soul exhales.

Forest. Lake. Warm firelight. Each cottage is a tiny universe — interior assembled piece by piece, furniture with stories, and a window view that shifts with the hours.

No corporate hotels with plastic keys and elevators. Just wood, fabric, warm light, and the rhythm of nature.

— Spa & Wellness

Jacuzzi under the stars. Sauna at sunset.

Hot tub right under the open sky — 39° warm water, forest silence and a star-filled sky. Finnish sauna with the scent of pine. From heat to cold lake — and back again.

The best way to shed city stress — meet the night in a hot tub with a glass of wine and the song of an owl.

— Carp pond by the lake

Cast the line — it bites in a minute.

The lake is right at the cottages — carp, tench, pike, crucian. The carp pond is a separate water for guests only. Rods and boats are free. Catch one and grill it on your terrace. Release it — no one counts.

Best biting at dawn. The host will tell you where and what to use. Not paid fishing with limits — solitude with nature.

— Why Forest Retreat

Not a hotel.
A private world in the forest.

Full seclusion

Each cottage stands alone, framed by forest and lake. No neighbors through the wall — just wind and birdsong.

Jacuzzi & sauna

Smoke sauna and an open-air hot tub — unwind after a walk through the forest.

Mini-zoo

Alpacas, ponies, sheep, goats and rabbits that eat from your hand. Kids will be happy. Adults too.

Cinema in the forest

A projector with Netflix in forest silence. Movie, blanket, glass of wine — your best premiere ever.

Pets — free

Bring your dogs — they'll love the freedom. No surcharges, just happy tails.

Fishing & boats

Carp, tench, pike, crucian — in the lake right by the cottage. Boats are free. Bring your rods.

A perfect place for solitude in nature

«Incredibly atmospheric place. A very cozy cabin on the lake shore, surrounded by forest. Especially nice — stepping out on the terrace you see rabbits running around the cabin. Wonderful hosts!»

I am thrilled

«If you are looking for urban luxury — this is not the place, and that is its strength. I knew exactly what I wanted, and this was it. The magic is in the privacy, the distance from city noise, the silence. All the amenities you need. Stunning nature.»

Wonderful ranch

«We brought carrots and apples for the ponies and goats, they happily ate everything. Rabbits, goats and mice ran around. The wood stove heats brilliantly. The host was as welcoming as possible — even helped out when we wanted a couple of beers! Heartily recommend, we will definitely come back.»

Magnificent

«Loved it. The host is responsive, sociable, fun. Rabbits — big and chubby — run by every day; bring carrots, you can feed them by hand. There are ponies 100 meters away, they let you pet them. The homemade beer is delicious. The hot tub is a must — the view from it is incredible, looking out over the pond, brilliantly relaxing.»

Līči, Latvia — a village among forests and lakes. Each cottage has its own pond; the nearest shop is 20 km away — that's the seclusion you came for.
