A Testament to Creativity and Imagination
Behind this architectural marvel stands the visionary owners, Jelena and Zoran. The couple decided to turn their cabin into a showcase of local craftsmanship, transforming the whole interior design game into a delightful challenge. "We wanted our guests to feel the vibe of the place, so we turned the wellness area into a mini Vrelo cave, complete with cave walls, stalactites, and a waterfall. '' – explains Jelena.
Indeed, Dorine House is a testament to creativity and imagination. As you explore further, you'll find that every nook and cranny of the house is infused with charm and character, with each element carefully curated to evoke a sense of wonder and delight. From the cozy fireplace where stories are shared late into the night or the sunlit nook perfect for curling up with a good book to the playful swing in the living room, every detail serves to enrich the experience of being in this magical abode.
Charm, Comfort, and Surprises
Spread across three floors, Dorine House can accommodate up to six guests. On the upper floor, you will find three bedrooms, each a haven unto itself, offering plush bedding, ample storage space, and large windows that flood the rooms with natural light. Soft, earthy tones and cozy furnishings ensure a restful night's sleep, allowing you to awaken refreshed and rejuvenated each morning.
The heart of the home, the fully equipped kitchen beckons to aspiring chefs and casual cooks alike. Adorned with sleek countertops, state-of-the-art appliances, and ample cabinet space, it provides everything you need to whip up delicious meals with ease.
Step outside onto the glass-enclosed heated terrace, and you'll be greeted by breathtaking views of towering mountains and lush greenery stretching as far as the eye can see. Here, amidst the splendor of nature, you'll find moments of serenity and contemplation awaiting you. Whether you're basking in the warmth of the sun, sipping a glass of wine under the stars, or simply admiring the beauty of your surroundings, the terrace is sure to become one of your favorite spots to unwind and reconnect with the natural world. But the magic doesn't stop there. From the terrace, a staircase leads down into a hidden oasis within the depths of a cavern. Here, guests of all ages can indulge in relaxation and rejuvenation, with amenities including a sauna, open-air shower, lounging area, and a whimsical touch – a grand artificial tree housing a toilet within its trunk, adding a playful twist to the natural surroundings.
Explore Beautiful Fužine
The location of Dorine's house is equally captivating. Three reservoir lakes surround the area, with Lake Bajer being the most famous. The Vrelo cave stands out as one of Fužine's top attractions, adding to the allure of the surroundings. With numerous options for outdoor activities, the place is a haven for hikers, cyclists, walkers, mushroom foragers, and, thanks to its proximity to the sea, an ideal destination for a summer retreat.
So, while Dorine's House may look like your typical cabin from the outside, it's anything but ordinary on the inside. With its hidden caves, whimsical touches, and enchanting surroundings, it's a place where the unexpected becomes the norm. So, what are you waiting for? Come experience the magic for yourself!
