We’ve found the perfect little hideaway, tucked in the serene landscape of Velebit Nature Park, that redefines what it means to escape the city. Lika OAK House, a luxurious yet earthy retreat in the quiet village of Rizvanuša near Gospić, is a place where time slows, worries fade, and nature surrounds you at every turn. Here, you can leave behind the city’s constant hum and trade it for the soft sounds of the forest, the fresh mountain air, and an atmosphere that feels both luxurious and comfortingly familiar.
In the heart of this tranquil paradise, Lika OAK House offers a unique blend of rustic charm and modern elegance. Step inside, and you’re met with a neutral color palette—calming hues that surprise and delight, feeling worlds away from the traditional wood-and-stone cabin you might expect. Shades of cream, soft browns, and gentle greys fill the space, complemented by warm wood tones and natural materials that make every room a calming retreat. It’s a setting designed to soothe, where the interior is as much a part of the experience as the mountains and forests just outside the door.
