This is what happens when you want to build a B&B on a mountainside and it's hard to move a big rock.
When Adina and Eliezer built the "Jacuzzi in the Rock" cabin, they came across a particularly large and stubborn rock in the wonderful location inside the private grove on their property. They thought, and decided, fortunately for all of us, to integrate the rock into the cabin, and placed (of course) an intimate double jacuzzi there. The result is nothing short of amazing. There are two cozy cabins here, in this romantic complex that exudes the simplicity and quality of "once upon a time," before the crazy equipment race began around it. A truly romantic nature reserve at very affordable prices.
The estate of the owners of the complex is located in Amirim, and within the estate there is a natural forest typical of the mountain. An internal road leads there, and there is private parking for each cabin. As mentioned, there are two cabins in the complex, and the guesthouse is not noticeable at all in the accommodation area. The "Forestryman's House" cabin is located deep within the estate, and there is excellent privacy there. On the edge of the estate, not far from the "Jacuzzi in the Rock" cabin, there is a public trail that is not too active and you may not notice it at all, because it is difficult to see.
The "Jacuzzi in the Rock" cabin , besides the rock, also enjoys a blooming garden created by the host Eliezer, a gardener by profession. The beautiful jacuzzi next to the rock is a little small, but very cozy and intimate. The rock that is integrated into the cabin wall is illuminated by pleasant lighting that surrounds it, with niches where the vegetation grows naturally. There is a window overlooking the vegetation outside, as well as a "skylight" window that allows natural lighting to penetrate from the outside into the cabin. The atmosphere is completed by a wood-burning fireplace for winter days, which is located right near the jacuzzi.
The cabin itself is built as one open area. The kitchen is well equipped (you can't cook, but you can request an electric hotplate), with a wide variety of refreshments. Keep in mind that the bed is very intimate, 140 cm wide.
The "Forester's House" cabin exudes a lot of simplicity, and is also suitable for a family, as there is a gallery with 2 additional beds. At the entrance there is a balcony and a pleasant sitting area. There is also an additional room right at the entrance that serves as a "jacuzzi room". The cabin itself has a double space with a gallery, and you will find a sofa, dining table and kitchenette. The bathroom is attached. The double bedroom is separate, and has an intimate double bed 140 cm wide.
The cozy gallery has beds for children, as mentioned. There is a private backyard with a hammock and a seating area.
There is free admission to the community pool in the summer.
"Shirat Ha'Abim" offers rustic and good hospitality, a bit like the old days, and the prices here are also pocket-friendly. I loved the care taken in the complex, the consideration for the rock, the surrounding woods, and of course... the rock, the rock... which just does it for me.
What’s on the site?
A wide variety of refreshments including: popcorn, natural cornflakes, olive oil, a variety of coffees and teas, and soft drink milk in the refrigerator.
In addition, in the corner of the living room, homemade cookies, and of course a bottle of wine (from the Golan Heights).
High-quality massages, bath foam and bathrobes.
When I met Adina (very smiling and motherly), I told her that I thought the unique rock in her cabin was a "genius marketing idea." She answered me with an answer that I really liked hearing: "Believe me, I have no idea about marketing and it's a field that's really hard for me to connect with. As far as I'm concerned, instead of investing in advertising and marketing, I invest my energy in the cabin itself. That way, I do what I love and in the end, people enjoy it, recommend it, and come back..."
