I loved Jelena’s house. Ask her for a taste of her homemade honey, you’ll walk home with a jar that won’t last the way home. Very kind, lovely area about 5km from Entrance 2 of Plitvice Lakes Park. Goid restaurants nearby and grocery shopping as well.

The property was spotless and comfortable and in a lovely setting. We did have to pay in cash upon arrival. It says to pay at the property but we thought we would have a card option. Anyone staying should be aware of this.

We were staying at the end of April and unfortunately had bad weather. The hosts were making a fire in their home but the chimney was right at our apartment so we were unable to open any of the windows during our stay.

I would recommend this place for a stay but just wanted guests to be aware of what we did not expect.

House Jelena was perfect for our stay at Plitvice Lake. Very modern studio apartment. We totally loved Jelena, who is a lovely host. She shared many tips for visiting Plitvice Lake. Jelena even made coffee for us in the morning and she was very nice with my kids. I highly recommend House Jelena to everyone.

I only needed a quick place to stay near the national park and this was a perfect pick. I got lucky and there was nobody else in the other rooms so I had the bathroom to myself. It was very quiet and in a charming little farm town which I loved. The hosts were friendly and I didn't need much so no real comments there but check in and out was easy. The only issue I had was it was a bit difficult to find the place because my GPS wasn't quite accurate with the address given so maybe giving some instructions on how to get there from the main road and what to do once you get there (I was knocking on random doors until I found the right one) would be nice. Otherwise a great place to stay.

Nice place, but not perfect for us

We stayed here 1 night while visiting the park. Very friendly people, clean, well kept home, good location to the park. Unfortunately we have 2 complaints though. The walls are thin, and we could easily hear the other guests talking. And there was a no drinking sign posted in our room (as well as the shared kitchen space). I can completely understand the no smoking sign. But 2 adults sharing a bottle of wine in any room they rent should not be prohibited.

This guest house is slightly off the main road to Plitvice from the North, easy to get to and close to this national park. The room was comfortable, the staff very friendly, the breakfast fairly large (separate fee), and the area very quiet (if you don't mind the rooster in the morning). We would come back here.

Wonderful Guest house!

We stayed at House Jelena for two nights while going to visit Plitvice National Park which was a short drive away. It was a great experience. One of the best places we stayed at throughout our trip. Very clean and comfy. The yard and flowers were beautiful. Jelena and her mother in law were very friendly. They had a cute kitten outside to play with. They had breakfast available for purchase and it was wonderful; coffee, bread, yogurt, cheese, deli meat, and fresh eggs from the chickens outside. The guesthouse was located off of a quiet street so there was no noise from cars and it was very nice to take a walk around. There's a shared kitchen and fridge for guests.

House Jelena

House Jelena was a great choice! Only a 10 minute drive to the Plitvice Lakes and surrounded by beautiful scenery! Waking up to roosters howling wasn't too bad, a nice change in culture that I found to appreciate! The house is located on a nice plot of land, perfect for relaxing after a long hike. I didn't have the breakfast, although, I can imagine it would be with fresh eggs from their chickens; another aspect of the culture of that area that I really enjoyed. Jelena was warm and welcoming and the rooms were amazing!

My girlfriend and I had a great time at House Jelena. Jelena was very kind and helpful. When she found out that we did not rent a car, she offered to pick us up and drop us off at the national park and various restaurants for half the price of the typical, overpriced taxi fee in this tourist area. She and her husband invited us to join them and their friends and family for lunch, whereby her husband cooked us traditional Croatian goulash (stew) made of veal and wild boar meat he hunted himself. Jelena is a great baker. Her Croatian custard cake was to-die-for! They treated us like family and we felt like we just waved goodbye to a family member when we checked out and Jelena bid us farewell at the bus station.

House Jelena is a lovely guest house close to the Plitvice Lakes national park. We stayed here for a night before exploring the park the next day. It's a beautiful and comfortable house with good self-catering facilities.

The biggest treat was a bottle of Croatian wine w/a ribbon around it saying \"Happy Anniversary\" from Jenna. She baked us a delicious pineapple cake and served it to us.

She showed us to our room, asked what we'd like to drink for breakfast and explained that her mother in law and daughter would be assisting us the next day with breakfast in our room. The room was able sized and had all the necessities you'd like in a room. The room was impeccable and the family that owns it really makes you feel at home.

Jelena met us as we drove up, and showed us everything we needed to know and see around the Sobe and Plitvice. She even gave us some of her homemade plumb brandy on our arrival. Breakfast was also great, and included some eggs from her chickens and local meats, cheeses and pastries. Excellent all-round. Stay here if you can, you won't regret it!

We were very happy with this place. We had the room with the ensuite bath, and had the included breakfast. Everything was great. Although Hotels.com says this place took credit cards, they would only accept cash, either kuna or Euros, so be prepared to pay in cash. Also, it might be hard to find without local maps (doesn't show up on the large country maps), so a GPS would be helpful.

We spent the day at the Plitvice Natural Park, and we stayed the same day at Jellena's home. It's very near the park (15-20 minutes). Her home is located in a rural zone outside the main road. A conventional GPS won't necessary take you there, but Waze yes. Also it's very well signed. The house and rooms were very confortable. There is even a roster and kitchen. Although, the breakfast wasn't included in the price, Jellena's offered us breakfast for extra money. We highly recommended this option. It includes homemade plum's mermelada and eggs from their own chicken.
