Dormouse House is a unique historic holiday home 60 kilometres south of Ljubljana, the capital city of Slovenia. The house can accommodate up to five persons. You can rent it as an entire place so you will have the whole house for yourself.

The Dormouse House was built at the end of the 18th century. This was the main farmhouse of a large homestead. For all these years the house was maintained in its original state. Already the outside appearance of the straw-thatched roof gives the house a unique look. The house is built of local stones, and with almost a meter thick walls it provides a cold retreat on the hot summer days. No artificial air conditioning is needed, just cool from the natural stones.

The location of the Dormouse House is excellent for exploring southern Slovenia. The house is situated in the small village of Goričice, which rises above the southeastern edge of Lake Cerknica, one of the most famous wetland sites in Slovenia.  From there you have only a short drive to nature areas like Lake Cerknica, Rakov Škojcan, Križna Cave, Postojna Cave, Snežnik Castle. From our historic holiday home, you can easily make a day trip to the coast and swim in the Adriatic Sea or visit the city of Ljubljana.
