A Jewel Amidst Nature
Tucked away in a secluded corner of Ogulin, Mur Mur Cottage finds its home at the very source of the Ruperčica Spring. This two-story wooden house, which can comfortably accommodate up to eight guests, is a testament to the harmonious blending of modern architecture with the wild beauty of its surroundings. Surrounded by a lush, 1000-square-meter plot of forest, the cottage offers privacy and serenity, making it the ideal destination for those who seek to escape the noise of everyday life.
The setting is nothing short of magical. The cottage is flanked by an ancient mill and a gentle waterfall, both of which add to the unique charm of the location. Here, time seems to slow down, allowing you to fully absorb the sights, sounds, and smells of nature. The surrounding forest teems with life, offering a constant symphony of birdsong and rustling leaves, while the air is filled with the fresh scent of pine and wildflowers.
Luxury in the Lap of Nature
Despite its sharp appearance, Mur Mur Cottage is anything but basic. Step inside, and you’ll be greeted by a spacious open-plan living area that seamlessly connects with the outdoors through expansive glass windows. The minimalist interior design is enhanced by high ceilings, creating a sense of openness and light. Each element of the cottage is carefully curated to ensure that your stay is as comfortable as it is relaxing.
The fully equipped kitchen, cozy living room, and elegant dining area are all designed with a focus on simplicity and comfort, making you feel at home even in the midst of nature. For those seeking relaxation, the spa area is a highlight. A bridge from the terrace leads you to an outdoor Jacuzzi and sauna, both strategically placed to offer breathtaking views of the surrounding greenery. The sauna, with its floor-to-ceiling glass window, provides a unique experience—where else can you unwind with a view of towering trees and the serene waters of the lake?
A Playground for the Soul
But Mur Mur Cottage isn’t just about relaxation—it’s also about reconnecting with your inner child and indulging in a bit of fun. The large yard is designed as a playground for all ages, featuring a sunken trampoline, table tennis, soccer goals, and swings. Whether you’re playing a game of badminton or simply swinging under the trees, there’s no shortage of activities to keep you entertained.
The covered terrace, equipped with integrated speakers and a heater, is the perfect spot for a barbecue or a cozy evening with friends and family. As night falls, the terrace transforms into a magical space where you can enjoy a glass of wine while listening to the soothing sounds of the forest. And if the weather turns chilly, the indoor cinema and game room provide ample entertainment. With a large projector screen, PlayStation 4, a bar, and even a karaoke machine, the lower level of the cottage is designed to keep the good times rolling.
Explore the Mystical Surroundings
The cottage’s location offers more than just comfort and entertainment—it also provides a gateway to explore the natural wonders of the Ogulin region. Just a short walk away is the stunning Šmitovo Lake, a mesmerizing turquoise expanse consisting of two interconnected lakes, Veliko and Malo Jezero. The lake’s waters, fed by the Ruperčica sinkhole, are crystal clear and teem with life. The nearby Ruperčica Cave, home to rare endemic species like the olm and the luminous svjetlica fish, adds an element of mystery and discovery to your stay.
In a world that moves too fast, Mur Mur Cottage is a reminder to slow down, to savor the moment, and to reconnect with the natural world. You can book it via Booking.com or the Mur Mur Cottage website.
