Our timbered cottage in Zderaz is a proven place for:
- holidays of friendly families with children,
- multigenerational holidays,
- relaxation with your four-legged pets.
About the cottage
My husband inherited a cottage where extended family had gathered for over forty years. It is strategically located halfway between Prague and Brno and meets the 5K criteria for which our ancestors once chose it: Tranquility, its Charm, Swimming, Beautiful Scenery, Nearby Church... Our family of six spends most of our free days here (especially school holidays) often in the company of friendly families. The cottage, standing under an ash tree, offers a great deal of privacy, although it is located in the heart of the picturesque village of Zderaz in the Pardubice Region on the northern edge of the Highlands. With its almost three hundred years of history, it is a place that has its own spirit, charm and flies. We will be happy to share everything with you. It would help us with the cost of running it (and future improvements) and you can relax, invite friends over, or work online/offline overlooking the extensive woodland.

More info
A beautiful cottage with the atmosphere of the old times, among other things with an interesting construction system, as well as the surroundings. Amenities perfect, spacious "kitchen", comfortable sleeping, etc... You could stay here for a long time ...
Beautiful cottage with a pleasant atmosphere. I could stay here all summer.
The accommodation, outdoor facilities and amenities of the cottage were absolutely perfect. There was nothing that we missed during our stay. The location is quiet, there are plenty of places to go or hike in the area. There are natural swimming pools, forests or rock dwellings nearby which really interested our children. It's a place like a fairy tale, which we would love to return to again in the future.
The cottage is as described, don't expect any luxury, it's really partly in a good way like an "open-air museum". The history of the cottage corresponds to this. The rooms upstairs are new. Really lots of rooms and space to sleep, if you are planning to come in large numbers and are not spoiled by hotels, this is the place. The kitchen facilities are sufficient, everything one needs. What impressed us the most was the ETA hand beater that our grandmothers owned :) a lovely memory of our childhood. Who would not be able or would not want to cook on the stove even because of the preparation of chips, there is an induction double cooker. We didn't even need heating in the upper rooms, the stove in the kitchen was enough, if left open the heat went beautifully into the upper rooms. The smaller garden with fire pit is perfect for campfires and barbecues. There are plenty of toys and art supplies in the cottage, even a nice supply of children's books. There are plenty of places to hike, walk, bike or drive to in the area. Our crew consisted of 4 adults and a smaller dog and we were happy with our stay.
The cottage where time stood still.
