Welcome to the Saint Anthony Cottage
It’s our pleasure to present you a brand new luxurious mountain cottage built in the borderlans between the Jizera Mountains and the Giant Mountains, North Bohemia, in 2023. Located in the picturesque village of Stará Ves near Vysoké nad Jizerou, the highest town in the Czech Republic, the romantic cottage offers superior accommodation. The charming cottage combines the nostalgic romance of a country house and the comfort of a luxurious guest house.
The Saint Anthony Cottage is a newly built home surrounded by a 3-hectare plot. The garden is young and fully developing, a colourful feast for the eyes varying according to the season. Feel free to flavour your meal with fresh herbs from the bed under the windows.
The relaxing outdoor terrace, indoor sauna and the bathroom on the first floor give a charming view over the whole valley of the local Staroveský brook and the opposite hilly horizon with the dominant U Borovice lookout tower.
We proudly present the perfect combination of comfort that goes hand in hand with country style and absolute tranquillity. The entire house has a floor heating system and sanitary equipment of quality natural materials to increase cosiness. We are happy to pamper you as our guests with a sauna at your disposal.
The location of the cottage is just perfect – only a 70-minute ride from Prague. Within 5 minutes, you would be in the closest ski resort Šachty (a ski school, artificial snow and illuminated night skiing slope so that you can enjoy skiing under the stars). On top of that, there are many other ski resorts nearby (Rokytnice nad Jizerou, SKI Paseky…). Should you prefer cross-country skiing, you’ll enjoy countless and well-maintained cross-country skiing trails. In summer, the excellent terrain for mountain biking and road cycling alike meets the need of both avid and relaxed bike riders. Take up the invitation to endless walks and breathtaking views in the beautiful landscape that will recharge your batteries and feed your mind with positive thoughts.
The cottage accommodates up to 11 people.
The two-level house is rented as a whole. The four bedrooms accommodate a group of up to 11 people.
Three bedrooms on the first floor and one on the ground floor provide enough space to enjoy the ultimate accommodation comfort and quality rest.
The ground floor bedroom is fitted with a spacious solid wood double bed. At the same time, the bathroom has a bath, a shower enclosure, and a toilet in the adjacent room. Wooden furniture radiates positive energy, and the views from the window leave no doubt that you have a perfect holiday ahead. Looking for an excellent stay for your parents? No need to look further. Not only do they not need to climb any stairs here, but after a few days, they may feel like they are young again.
The upper floor bedroom (studio) is a great haven for young families. Besides a double bed and a single bed, there is also a safe children’s bed. The studio sleeps up to three adults and their little loved ones. The separate entrance from the corridor leads you to the walk-in wardrobe and the bathroom (a washbasin and a toilet). Feel free to ask for the children’s bed replaced by a fully-fledged extra bed on the floor. There is also a TV.
The two remaining bedrooms are meant to accommodate three adults, thus equipped with double and single beds. Feel at home and enjoy the warmth of made-to-measure wooden furniture with carefully selected home accessories as icing on the country-style cake. These two bedrooms are designed to offer you everything needed for uninterrupted rest. Therefore, there is no TV or other electronic and electrical devices.
The upper floor also has a generous bathroom with a shower enclosure, a toilet, and a bidet with a shower. Feel like playing or grabbing a good book? The open gallery houses the Chamburina, a genuine local table game and a library.
The house is equipped with underfloor heating, which is automatically controlled according to the selected temperature on the thermostat, and a large storage tank provides enough heat, so there is nothing for you but to enjoy the warm and welcoming atmosphere. When winter cloaks the countryside with snow and the trees are brushed by cold winds, light up the wood-burning stove, sit down and dive deep into the winter romance, watching flickering flames and listening to the wood crackling. The stove is in the large living room with the massive country-style kitchen. The interior is designed to pay tribute to craftmanship. Therefore, the house is furnished with the local joiner’s works. All beds have orthopaedic medium-firm mattresses by a Czech producer. Close your eyes and enjoy a profound and relaxing sleep. As for further equipment, there is also a clothes horse and shoe dryer behind the vestibule’s main entrance.

WHY SHOULD WE STAY AT THE SAINT ANTHONY COTTAGE?
The Saint Anthony Cottage is a unique accommodation facility. No exaggeration. It unites the cosiness of genuine mountain cottages and modern technology to treat our guests with comfort and relaxation, all in one exceptional place. The cottage is a semi-solitary house in a picturesque Stará Ves village with a view over the valley with a brook and the U Borovice lookout tower dominating the hill on the horizon. The vicinity is perfect for beautiful bike trips and walks in absolute privacy. The central square of Vysoké nad Jizerou town is only ten minutes on foot. The town gives unique views of the Jizera and Giant Mountains. All around, you feel absolute freedom; you don’t see any fences around the buildings and are in direct contact with the mountain landscape. The cottage interior is a warm and welcoming place where old Bohemian tradition meets modern design in harmony. Natural materials and warm colours, all fine-tuned to the last detail so that you can make the most of your holiday. That is the only way you will be happy to come back.
WHAT DIFFERENTIATES US FROM OTHER MOUNTAIN COTTAGES?
From the beginning, we designed the Saint Anthony Cottage as a generous, luxurious accommodation facility in harmony with nature. The interior is a relaxing place where old Bohemian traditions meet modern trends. In a nutshell, we wanted to provide one of the best accommodation services within the borderland area between the Jizera and the Giant Mountains. The cottage is a perfect fit for demanding guests who appreciate the romantic nostalgia of the past with modern comfort. We love keeping our guests happy and doing our utmost to become your best choice. When building the Saint Anthony Cottage, we drew inspiration and extensive know-how from the previous cottage in the neighbourhood, conceived similarly. We have been living there happily for ten years already. This allows us to take good care of our guests and regular cleaning, bringing us to our mission’s heart – cleanliness and happy guests are the keys. We are not talking in clichés – you can trust us. We regularly clean every tiny corner and even hidden spots. Should you need any help – we are here at your service.
Besides our focus on active customer care and personal approach, the second important pillar of our work is the investments we have put in for your comfort without the slightest regret. We have used only premium building materials to provide superior comfort for your holiday stay, be it a relaxing time or an active vacation.
Last but not least, the landscape is simply charming. The living room and the patio offer breathtaking scenic views of the vicinity, surrounded by the majestic mountains.
We wanted our house to be romantic, cosy and welcoming. All floors are heated, and hot water will always be available. On top of that, the wood-burning stove on the ground floor serves as the primary heating source and conjures a dreamy mood – just watch the flames and listen to the wood crackling sounds.
WHAT ABOUT INTERNET CONNECTION AND WI-FI?
Of course, Wi-Fi is available in the entire cottage and the garden is covered, too. You will receive the password upon arrival.
