Everything was great Jasmine and the team were excellent

Great location to visit lake

Spectacular apartment and wonderful hosts! The accommodations were spotless, convenient and the restaurant on site was good. The hosts went out of their way to make sure we were comfortable and provided great instructions for getting into the park from a less busy entrance. We were able to beat much of the crowd on the Upper lakes and just had to endure the throngs on the Lower lakes. We arrived a bit late in the evening but were still able to get a meal in the restaurant and had the most magnificent homemade chocolate cake for dessert.

The location was superb. Situated near the "unofficial" entry called either P3 or the "Auxiliary Flora Entrance". It's unofficial because the website doesn't list P3 but in any case Etno Garden Apartments is about a 5 min walk to this entry. No tickets are sold here. Just a hut that is manned starting at 7am to check your tickets. You will need to buy them online (recommended) or go to Entrance 1 or 2 and buy them there. Having them in advance though is key then you can just walk from Etno to get into the park. No need to deal with driving/parking. Last photo of map, I've circled P3 entry near Etno in red. Once through the checkpoint you walk down to the boat landing where you can catch one of the ferries to go to other parts of the park. I'd recommend uploading the Plitvice Mobile app (green background with a bear outlined in white) as it lays out different walking programs as well as info about the park and a good map. It's also easy to walk from Etno to the trails that are outside of the park but run along the top ridge. They offer great views during an early morning or evening walk. The other very surprising thing we found was their restaurant. We were not anticipating that we'd be able to find a decent meal due to the remoteness of the lake park. However Etno actually offered a great restaurant/menu selection with super friendly servers/service. We were there 3 days/two nights and ate every meal at the restaurant because it was not just convenient but delicious. The check in was great and easy. We arrived a bit early for check in but that was not a problem. Our apartments were ready (we were two couples, renting 2 apartments next door to each other) and the young guy that checked us in could not have been nicer. Also offering us good suggestions on how to tour the park. The staff continued to be attentive during our whole visit.

We really enjoyed the hearty simple breakfast, the location (a few minutes walk from the park), and the host (Bosco) was super helpful answering questions, offering to book dinner for us, etc. We only got to enjoy breakfast outside once (due to weather) but it was fun watching the chickens roam around doing their thing!

The property is right next to a stream and surrounded by woods - beautiful! It was super easy to enter with a lock box, and the host Georgie was helpful, present, and accommodating. He even drove us down to the main resort lodge for dinner our first night since we had arrived right around the dinner hour. You can rely on google maps to get there, but when you get closer to the cabin the roads are dirt/gravel and not clearly labeled, so be sure to drive slowly and watch the map you'll get there just fine. Yeti Cabin itself has a very clear sign. I wish we could've stayed longer!

Perfect location near the park. Excellent host. Very friendly and helpful. Beautiful spacious apartment. Very comfortable and clean. Highly recommend

My family and I had such an incredible stay with the Sarlija's Family this May. So much that when we left after only one night, I felt as if we were leaving good friends and was already planning our return trip. I cannot say enough about the warmth and hospitality that both Lucy and Ante spread. From the pre trip communication to farewell they truly want their guest to have a wonderful experience from their hearts. They have created an Inn that is not only bright and cheerful but warm and cozy at the same time. Our room was the perfect size for my family of three (four would have slept there comfortably as well) with big beautiful windows and a closet to hang our clothes and stow our luggage out of the way. We received perfect advice on the park that allowed us to maximize our time and ate boxed lunches fresh from Lucy! We ate dinner in their restaurant the night of our stay and it was delicious. You may eat inside or on the patio, we chose the patio which was covered and the perfect place to watch a thunderstorm roll in after dinner. All of Ante's ingredients are sourced locally and in season making the dishes uniquely Croatian. Being our first time visiting Croatia this allowed us to see it from a true culinary perspective. Ante makes all the dishes on site to order with the help of Mateo who at 11 is already a gracious host. Both my husband and I had the vegetable soup made from Lucy's garden fresh vegetables and pureed into a creamy but dairy free soup, it was lovely. For our main courses,I had the chicken breast with mushroom cream sauce, herbed smashed potatoes and fresh vegetables. My husband and daughter both had the fish of the day served with the same sides. Our meals were superb and perfectly paired with Croatian wine. For desert we were served a lovely apple crumble with caramel sauce. It was just the right amount of desert with the right amount of sweet to end our meal. Breakfast does not disappoint!

The hostess was fantastic Perfect location and very close to special entrance 3

A traditional guesthouse experience, my hosts were extremely kind and welcoming. I arrived late at night and at first they were unable to locate my reservation but made me feel right at home and set me up in a room while they worked it out. They did not speak English, but we were able to communicate just fine. For the price, comfort of facilities were as expected. Location was ideal for someone traveling with their own car. Beautiful view and a short 10 minute drive to Entrance 1, market and restaurants. Access to kitchen, wifi and outdoor patio were a must for me.
