Or just sit back and relax. Enjoy the peace. We got ourselves a place to pitch our tent and we have accomodation in cottages and also in the forest cabins. We also have the barbecues and fire places where you can hang out with your friends late at night.
Welcome to our Guesthouse!
Cottage Accommodations
The cottage accommodations are ideal for small families, as well as for small groups. Each one is equipped with two bunk beds, a bathroom with a walk-in shower, a porch on which guests can relax and reflect on how they were so inspired as to choose such a beautiful place.
Chalet Accommodations
The main chalet is better suited for bigger groups of people. It has five rooms, each with its own bathroom and bunk beds. Guests have easy access to the kitchen and the dining room, as each of our guests must freely satisfy their belly cravings after admiring their surroundings.
Outdoor Camping
The clean wide meadow nearby is the perfect place to set up tents in every way our guests desire. Think of how sweet your sleep will be at the foot of the mountain, and how delighted your heart will be when gazing at the stars next to someone who feels as you do.
Parking
Parking with easy access to the main road is available near the chalet and the cottages, allowing for the luggage to be carried for only a short distance. Leave your worries behind in the parking lot and become one with the wonderful energy of this place that welcomes and embraces everyone.
Kitchen and Dining Room
We generally offer dinner with the package, but on request, we can also serve breakfast and lunch. Guests have a coffee machine and a microwave available. Our dining room is big enough for large groups whenever the weather doesn’t allow dining on the porch and veranda.
Barbecue Area
All our guests have access to our special barbecue area set on a concrete platform, perfect even for the times when the weather wouldn’t normally allow it. You can have fun even while it rains because life in the mountains is easy for those with an open heart and a joyful mind.
Bar and Covered Veranda
Our amenities include a bar that sells drinks and various snacks. Our covered veranda is big enough to allow our guests to enjoy their meals and drinks.

our story
Vasile Sime thought of building this chalet in 1993. He stopped in Vârful Părului (1120 m) when the car he was driving from Huedin suddenly stopped and refused to start again. Thus, he started walking and he thought “It would be great to have a chalet up the mountain so I could rest there.” And the idea became reality. The following year he bought the land and built a 5-room chalet, as well as 6 small wooden cottages with bunk beds.
This place receives groups of visitors from the Czech Republic and Hungary, who return many times, amazed by the warmth of the place (despite the temperatures reaching -30 degrees during winter), and by the kindness of the hosts (Mr. Vasile’s wife cooks traditional food in the kitchen: sarmale, bean soup, and cheese pie). There’s a camping area here with toilets and showers with hot water. It’s a true paradise with many species of protected flowers that “flood” the sunny slopes.
The animals and plants, which are untouched in this part of the country, make it an ideal destination for researchers or nature lovers.
This is the beginning of the beautiful story of Padiș guest house, where people come with an open heart to ski, cycle on-road or off-road, and hike.
If you wish to visit Padiș for a weekend you can choose the hiking trail best suited for you, each of the ten trains having various difficulty levels.
