OUR FAMILY

Vlado, Zuzka, Kubo, Maťo, Božka, Anička. We are all involved in tourism.

Father – Vlado studied tourism at university. He was the mayor of Smrečany for 16 years and now he is dedicated to our guests.


Mama – Zuzka worked in the largest and then most expensive hotel in Mikuláš, Jánošík, in the years 1990-1993 and now, since the end of the last millennium, she is fully dedicated to the guests in our holiday home.

As true Lipt people, we keep chickens, goats, two goats and we also have a dog named Rocky. 


The eldest, Jakub, a Slovak representative in ski mountaineering, is engaged in hiking and cycling in addition to skiing. (http://jakubsiarnik.sk)


The second Matej completes the tourist business of B.Bystrica, but also works in the travel agency Satur in Bratislava. He works in the office, but also as a guide and delegate.


Božka is already independent. He lives in Liptov and travels a lot. Before she came to us, she went through 3 children´s homes.


And the youngest, Anička, you will meet her while cleaning around the guesthouse.

So we have tourism in our blood, we understand you and we want you to feel good with us and remember your vacation well…


Welcome to us!

The story of our house

Where did you actually come from? In the past, where you spend your vacation, things have happened that sometimes had an impact on the wider environment than our village.

The cottage where you are staying is located right between two cultural monuments in the village—so significant that someone even had them registered in the Slovak Central List of Monuments.

And to add a touch of mystery, according to oral tradition, a secret underground passage once ran between them, passing right by our house. But let’s not keep you in suspense.

The oldest monument is the nearby ancient hill “Hrádok,” which hides the remains of an old fortification within its depths. The second is the neighboring Gothic church, which the renowned photographer Kálay even included in his book Divy Slovenska (Wonders of Slovakia).

If you’d like to learn more, just around the corner in the next building, you’ll find our small local museum. There, you can discover the story of the yet-underrated, conscious bishop “Čobrda,” who was, perhaps uniquely among Slovaks, persecuted under three different state regimes. You will also learn about the writer “Fraňo Kráľ,” who, as a barefoot little boy, used to sneak into the noble Smrečáni family’s garden for forbidden fruit—right on the very spot where our cottage now stands. Many people know this story from his book Jano.

Nearby, you’ll also find the manor house of the “Smrečáni” family. You are, in fact, standing in the very heart of the mini-historical center of Smrečany, where several members of the ancient noble “Smrečáni” family rose to the rank of county governors, both in Liptov and Orava.

We take great pride in our history and want to honor the memory of our ancestors, who lived here with dignity for generations. That’s why we will do everything in our power to ensure you feel welcome and enjoy your stay, hoping you’ll return again and again.

We wish you a wonderful and peaceful holiday in Smrečany.
