Two design cabins in the Milzkalne countryside — next to a working farm, near a ski slope, with a sauna, hot tubs, and a rare wicker studio down the lane.
Milzkalne is a place with its own unhurried character. The landscape here is open and rural — fields, a gentle hill, an animal farm next door with sheep moving slowly and ostriches keeping their own counsel. Ragnar Glamp has settled into this setting with care: two cabins built from natural materials, full of light, and designed to let the countryside in without compromise.
Milzkalne offers two distinct houses — Forest and Lux — each one handcrafted and fitted with considered detail. The farm beside the property creates an unusual and particular atmosphere: you might take your coffee to the terrace and find yourself watching a ewe and her lamb, or a group of ostriches doing something inscrutable in their enclosure.
Beyond the cabins themselves, Milzkalne holds two further draws. The rural sauna and hot tubs — bookable in advance — offer a genuine recovery after a day on the nearby ski slopes or a long walk through the fields. And Latvia’s only large-scale wicker growing and weaving studio is here: a rare glimpse into an ancient craft, with handmade pieces available to take home.
The farm next door: Sheep, varied birds, and exotic ostriches — a genuine rural setting that gives the stay its own character.
Considered design: Both houses use natural oak, wide windows, and high-quality materials throughout. Generous, light-filled, and restful.
Recovery: A traditional rural sauna and two styles of hot tub available on request — suited to slow evenings or celebration alike.
The wicker studio: Latvia’s only large-scale wicker cultivation and weaving studio — a rare encounter with traditional craft.
Wilderio tip: Visit the Milzkalne ski slope in winter for a full day outdoors, or follow the quieter paths in warmer months on foot or by bicycle. The countryside here is best experienced slowly.
Step away from the pace of things at Milzkalne, where the landscape holds a particular rural quiet and every detail of the cabin has been shaped around ease. Mornings begin with coffee on the terrace as sheep graze nearby. Evenings end beside the Jøtul stove, the forest still outside the glass.
Ragnar Glamp Milzkalne is located in Smārde parish, Tukums district, at a place called Kalndaķi — near the Milzkalne ski and recreation slope. A quiet Zemgale setting with easy access to local attractions.
