A restored truck from the Czechoslovak army with a kitchenette, a fire pit and a bathroom under the open sky. Silence, stars and a piece of history.

Vejda Veverka is a legendary Praga V3S converted into a living van. It stands in the horse paddock in the shade of a mighty oak, looking out over the Turiec basin.

Inside there is a kitchenette with a coffee machine and kettle, seating and original Czechoslovak army kit: helmets, binoculars, lamps and camouflage gear.

The bathroom is outdoors, lit by lamps and candles towards evening, with an outhouse next to it. Evenings belong to the fire and the sunset at the fire pit with seating.

What guests say

Reviews from guests of Ranch Paradise.

  • Great amenities, cozy atmosphere, peaceful seclusion, hot tub – highly recommended!

    Branislav

  • If you’re traveling by car, we truly recommend this place because of its location, especially if you’re heading to the Veľká Fatra as we were, and for the beautiful ranch surroundings. We especially enjoyed being able to cook for ourselves, breakfast on the terrace with the view and the delicious coffee from the coffee machine.

    David

  • We were very satisfied with our stay. The surroundings are beautiful and perfect for relaxation. The hosts are very accommodating.

    Mária

  • Great location, a perfect place for hiking in the Fatra Mountains. Peter and his wife were really friendly, and the apartment was well equipped, very cozy, and comfortable.
