Country Houses Vidų Sodyba

Lovely, cozy houses right by the lake, with boats available to take out for a ride.

Don’t overthink it, just go.

I wouldn’t recommend staying here. The lake and natural views were the one real positive, but they didn’t make up for the way the hostess treated us. We had clearly stated when booking how many families were coming and that each needed a separate room or cottage. Once we arrived, there weren’t enough rooms as agreed, and some of us were told to sleep on inflatable mattresses in the banquet hall. That room was only going to be unlocked at night when we went to bed. When we raised the problem, the owner yelled instead of trying to fix it. She also said she’d already done so much for us, apparently meaning she had put out a table and chairs. The banquet house kitchen was poorly equipped for a house with four rooms meant for 14 people. It had only a two-burner gas stove, and the owner wouldn’t let us use a frying pan on it. There was nowhere to wash dishes. When we asked, she said we should have brought disposable plates and utensils because, according to her, “everyone does it like that.” At one point the tap water stopped. I called the owner, and she hung up on me. The rooms and cottages also looked worn and outdated, like they were from the 90s. We won’t return, and I can’t recommend it to others. There are much better places with welcoming, kind hosts.

The surroundings are beautiful, but we won’t be coming back. We booked and paid for six rooms, yet one family with two small children was told to sleep on mattresses in the party room, on a floor with no toilet. When we insisted on getting what we’d paid for, she started screaming and kept yelling throughout the weekend while walking around and not allowing anything. The way customers were treated made us feel unwelcome, and the communication was very poor.
