House Jelena was perfect for our stay at Plitvice Lake. Very modern studio apartment. We totally loved Jelena, who is a lovely host. She shared many tips for visiting Plitvice Lake. Jelena even made coffee for us in the morning and she was very nice with my kids. I highly recommend House Jelena to everyone.

Wonderful homely start.
Lovely people, very nice room. Excellent cooking facilities shared with other guests, though we had it to ourselves when we stayed - the other guests ate out. Note that you need a car (or possibly use taxis) to get to Plitvice.

10/10 Exceptional

I only needed a quick place to stay near the national park and this was a perfect pick. I got lucky and there was nobody else in the other rooms so I had the bathroom to myself. It was very quiet and in a charming little farm town which I loved. The hosts were friendly and I didn't need much so no real comments there but check in and out was easy. The only issue I had was it was a bit difficult to find the place because my GPS wasn't quite accurate with the address given so maybe giving some instructions on how to get there from the main road and what to do once you get there (I was knocking on random doors until I found the right one) would be nice. Otherwise a great place to stay.

Nice place, but not perfect for us
We stayed here 1 night while visiting the park. Very friendly people, clean, well kept home, good location to the park. Unfortunately we have 2 complaints though. The walls are thin, and we could easily hear the other guests talking. And there was a no drinking sign posted in our room (as well as the shared kitchen space). I can completely understand the no smoking sign. But 2 adults sharing a bottle of wine in any room they rent should not be prohibited.

Friendly guest house near Plitvice
This guest house is slightly off the main road to Plitvice from the North, easy to get to and close to this national park. The room was comfortable, the staff very friendly, the breakfast fairly large (separate fee), and the area very quiet (if you don't mind the rooster in the morning). We would come back here.

Wonderful Guest house!
We stayed at House Jelena for two nights while going to visit Plitvice National Park which was a short drive away. It was a great experience. One of the best places we stayed at throughout our trip. Very clean and comfy. The yard and flowers were beautiful. Jelena and her mother in law were very friendly. They had a cute kitten outside to play with. They had breakfast available for purchase and it was wonderful; coffee, bread, yogurt, cheese, deli meat, and fresh eggs from the chickens outside. The guesthouse was located off of a quiet street so there was no noise from cars and it was very nice to take a walk around. There's a shared kitchen and fridge for guests.

House Jelena
House Jelena was a great choice! Only a 10 minute drive to the Plitvice Lakes and surrounded by beautiful scenery! Waking up to roosters howling wasn't too bad, a nice change in culture that I found to appreciate! The house is located on a nice plot of land, perfect for relaxing after a long hike. I didn't have the breakfast, although, I can imagine it would be with fresh eggs from their chickens; another aspect of the culture of that area that I really enjoyed. Jelena was warm and welcoming and the rooms were amazing!

My girlfriend and I had a great time at House Jelena. Jelena was very kind and helpful. When she found out that we did not rent a car, she offered to pick us up and drop us off at the national park and various restaurants for half the price of the typical, overpriced taxi fee in this tourist area. She and her husband invited us to join them and their friends and family for lunch, whereby her husband cooked us traditional Croatian goulash (stew) made of veal and wild boar meat he hunted himself. Jelena is a great baker. Her Croatian custard cake was to-die-for! They treated us like family and we felt like we just waved goodbye to a family member when we checked out and Jelena bid us farewell at the bus station.

A Charmer!
This lively house has an attic area that is converted to cozy rooms for guests. There is a communal bathroom, kitchen area and dining area. Jelena, the owner is very hospitable and helpful and serves a lovely breakfast each day to guests for about $7 each. She is also very helpful with tourist information. We enjoyed our stay there!

Beautiful guest house close to Plitvice
House Jelena is a lovely guest house close to the Plitvice Lakes national park. We stayed here for a night before exploring the park the next day. It's a beautiful and comfortable house with good self-catering facilities. The landlady, Jelena, is very sweet and helpful and even gave us a little bowl of home-made plum jam to enjoy after our dinner. Highly recommend!!
