This is an absolute gem on the shore of Lake Issyk-Kol. The yurts are amazing and the hosts make sure that it is warm and comfortable enough for a good night's sleep. It is in an excellent location and the garden that it is set in makes your stay even more special. The hosts are exceptional and really make your stay super special serving great coffee, breakfasts and dinner! A place not to be missed if you're looking for a place to stay over night on the northern shore.

Traditional yurt but with all modern comfort. Very pitoresk and with enough privacy. Very cozy + clean hot shower and toilets. AMAZING dinner and breakfast. Perfect location to explore the 2 gorges!

The real traditional Yurts with good beds to sleep like babies, the banya to try at least once, the excellent food, the recycling and ecological approach and the family-like atmosphere of the Dutch (and therefore English-speaking, a rarity in this country) owner.

This place was great! Quite luxurious for us after staying in basic guesthouses and hostels for a while. The breakfast was great! The Dutch couple managing it were super nice and interesting and showed us their cheese making workshop, which you got the sample each morning with breakfast! Dinner was also great and cooked by a nice Russian woman who works there. Lisa who was working there over the summer was also super great and friendly. The garden itself is very tranquil and we spent the entire day relaxing in hammocks and on little chill areas. 10/10 recommend!

Maud, our host, and her family were lovely. Would definitely visit again simply because of the company and welcoming atmosphere of the lodge. Breakfast was amazing with cheese made onsite as well as delicious compotes I couldn't get enough of. Dinner was also great! The communal setting of the Lodge ensured everyone got to know each other. It was definitely a highlight of our trip to Kyrgyzstan. The yurts were comfortable and warm, even when we arrived and it was pouring with rain. The shared ablutions outside were the best.

Warm welcome, lovely atmosphere, hammocks, amazing dinner (600som), home made cheese for breakfast. There is enough to do: visit the local market, rent a canoe and paddle the lake, bike though the Ak Suu valley or take a taxi and walk to the lake(s). Definitely a great place to stay for a night or 2/3 to relax.

It is one of the rarest places when you value the people you met more that the bed you slept on. Great experience! To try the Dutch cheese (made by awesome Dutch couple who host the guests) is a must! Great home made dinners and breakfast s - than you, Kristina!

I can say that it was one of the most magnificent experiences in my life! I can’t find words to describe how memorable my stay was! Yacobina is a fantastic host and person with a very warm heart, incredible sense of humour and a desire to make an outstanding atmosphere around. Living in a yurt, spending time with people from all over the world, feeling this unity, bike trips to the Issyk-Kul and valleys, watching clear sky full of stars are something that I will definitely remember for the rest of my life. thank you for being so amazing! :)
