What the house is like

A guest in the hanging chair on the Saulriets deck with a drink

Saulriets is a compact black timber house with a big window facing the meadow. Inside there is a living space with a sofa bed, a sleeping corner with a double mattress, a small kitchen with an electric hob and a fridge, and a private bathroom with a shower.

Most of life happens outside. The deck with its dining table and hanging chair sits under a pergola strung with lights, the charcoal grill stands beside it, and a hammock hangs between the birches. In the evening the sun sets over the river, which is where the name comes from: saulriets means sunset.

The house suits a couple or a family with two children. Four adults fit, but a tiny house is tiny: one room where you sleep, eat and sit.

Questions people ask

How many guests fit in Saulriets?

Up to four: two on the double mattress in the sleeping corner and two on the sofa bed in the living space. A small child finds room without an extra bed. What there is for children and which house suits a family better: Jūrmala with kids.

Can I bring a dog?

Yes, one pet is allowed. Keep it on a lead on the shared grounds and pick up after it. Dogs may be on the Jūrmala sea beach only from 1 November to 31 March; the river bank is open all year. Where to walk and the beach rules: pet-friendly Jūrmala.

Is the house warm in autumn and winter?

There is a portable heater and the house is let in the cold season too. Saulriets has no air conditioning; in summer heat the big window and the birch shade help.

How does check-in work?

Check-in from 15:00, check-out by 12:00. The host greets you; when you leave, the keys stay in the door.

How do I get here from Riga without a car?

By train towards Tukums: 22 minutes from Riga Central Station to Priedaine, then a 15-minute walk. The steps, the ticket and what to bring: a cabin near Riga without a car.

Is Priedaine part of Jūrmala?

Yes. Priedaine is a district of the city of Jūrmala, the first after Babīte, on the right bank of the Lielupe. The sea beach at Bulduri is 4.4 km away. How the quiet end differs from the centre: a cottage in Jūrmala.
