A B&B vacation rental with an automatic massage bed? We didn't want to get up either…
In a huge olive grove, among the trees and the paths paved with basalt rock that magically glows in the moonlight are two spacious, high-quality wood cabins. The decks look out over green fields, providing maximum privacy. Not far from the hammock swinging in the breeze from the olive grove is a lovely dry sauna. But the feather in the cap is the best massage bed in the world: it's the perfect massage without a masseur. Not for nothing has this location been rated among the 10 best vacation rentals in Ma'ariv's Best of 2010.
I swore: the wind blowing in the southern Golan Heights is completely different from what happens two hundred meters below, around the Sea of Galilee, even on the hottest summer days.
I visited the B&Bs on one of the warmest days of the year, but as soon as I arrived at the Olive Vineyard complex, everything changed at once: I opened a window, turned off the air conditioner. A pleasant breeze caressed the skin.
The complex is actually a huge olive vineyard and inside it were built in high privacy two pleasant wooden cabins with a private garden, a "thin" balcony overlooking the paths paved with basalt stones magically illuminated at night. Not far from the swinging hammock you will find a dry sauna complex. In the center of the common complex there is a nice round water pool used for wading and dipping and a spa jacuzzi.
The host house is outside the olive grove.
The identity cabins are well decorated with unusual items. They are clean and well-kept, and their orientation is definitely romantic - you will find flowers and lace curtains everywhere. The cabins (identical) have two spaces - in the large space there is a dressing area and a dining area adjacent to a graceful kitchenette and the other is intended for sleeping. The climate control is carried out by air conditioners and an electric fireplace.
The sleeping space is separated by a step from the one below it, and next to it rests a large round jacuzzi well hidden from the central space.
The level of hospitality, the pastoral care, the pampering complex, it's all there. Especially suitable for romantic couples who need a small and pleasant piece of paradise.
What’s on the site?
The cabin is equipped, designed and very comfortable.
We especially liked the silence, the peace and the disconnection from the environment.
There are several nice corners in the place, from the table on the balcony through lounge chairs in the adjacent yard to the huge cheap bed in our private pool and jacuzzi complex.
We loved the place and will return to it again.
Already in the first phone conversation that took place with the owner of the B&B, Riki, it was clear to us that we were booking the B&B.
Ricky - a wonderful person, full of stories, witty and funny welcomed us with a warm face and we immediately felt like family.
When we arrived at the place, Riki came out to meet us and led us to the B&B. Among the trees, we saw a log cabin sticking out rather shyly.
We entered a spacious, clean and fragrant B&B. We had a delicious chocolate cake and sweet chocolates, next to a bottle of wine, whose grapes are from the local harvest, so that it would be a sin not to drink the wine, in the refrigerator, on a shelf, there is a cheese platter, waiting patiently - just to taste and indulge.
The zimmer is located among olive trees in the middle of nature, the road to the zimmer is paved with stones and decorated with a sitting area and a huge hammock - just take a book and have fun swinging. The B&B balcony is furnished with a large table and chairs - in every chair we sat, we saw nature and heard only nature and nature.
Next to the B&B, there is also a sauna room and the pool complex which is the highlight for us.
Complex ??? More precisely, a small and neat jungle, tangled with trees and vegetation that surrounds a deck and has a cool pool, a jacuzzi, sunbeds, a sitting area and a cheap screened-in bed, how could you not - between trees - crazy!
From the very beginning we knew that this is a place that is different in its essence, a place that will be very easy to get used to and will be very difficult to leave, but it is probably the essence of a good and enjoyable vacation and there is no doubt that we will return for another visit at the first opportunity.
We thank Ricky and Victor for their special hospitality, for the concern and care that nothing was missing, for the cheese from Romania, the newspaper, the Netstick and above all for a good thought that created a unique vacation for us.

There really is no way to describe in words the perfect pleasure, the unimaginable experience of cabins in an olive grove!
Riki is a magician...
Every little detail, every romantic gesture, every corner of the B&B - a work of thought!
One great treat from the entrance on the path to the lodge (entrance into a leafy olive grove...) through the huge and secluded compound at our disposal (spa, pool, amazing orchard...) and the lodge itself!
There is no price that is worth this experience!!!
Ricky, thank you from the bottom of my heart!
We were like dreamers...
Love you, Merav and Asaf.
post Scriptum. Don't you dare come for just one night, minimum two nights!
On the website's recommendation and my sister's warm recommendation, we celebrated a birthday on two weekend nights in the Masad family's cabin in Bali-Ed. A well-equipped, well-kept, clean and spacious wooden cabin. Riki made sure to turn on the air conditioner half an hour before we arrived and warmly welcomed us with wine, cheeses, fruit and cake handiwork
Inside the cabin there is a huge TV with Yes, a very, very comfortable bed and a huge jacuzzi for a couple. We really liked that the cabins are only for couples!! The smell in the cabin is overwhelming!! From the candles to the laundry soap found in the quality linens and towels.
Outside the cabin there is a large area for privacy. An area for the spa, where there is a small pool, a jacuzzi from the movies, a sitting area and an outdoor bed for perfect relaxation.
On Ricky's recommendation, we also ordered a massage for the B&B. Shuli the masseuse arrived exactly at the time we requested and with absolute pleasantness gave a delightful and healing treatment!! for a whole hour. At a modest price of only NIS 180 per message.
The Zimmer is located in Moshav Eli, so it is very easy to go on hiking trails in the Golan Heights. 20 minutes drive to the Yehudia parking lot and three minutes to the El-Al route.
In the morning we ordered a meal from Ricky. She asked when is convenient for us (unlike other B&Bs that wake you up at eight in the morning on Saturday). We ordered for ten in the morning and right on time she arrived with all the goodness of breads, cheeses, salads, natural orange juice and much more... simply a championship of hospitality and investment!!
In addition to all this, inside the B&B you will find a room with a massage bed of hot stones!! Just disconnect from the world for an hour or two of chirping and pleasant birds.
By the way, we left around three o'clock in the afternoon, but Riki made it clear that there was no pressure and that we would take our time.
It was so cozy and inviting that I wanted to stay and live there!
We will definitely be back. But next time it won't be just for two nights!!
...a selection of seasonal fruits, soft drinks, quality wine, olive oil from the orchard, a variety of teas and coffees, spices from the garden, cake and/or cookies and more...
Bathrobes, slippers, toiletries, bath foam, scented candles.
