Miškiniškės

Lithuania


If you've ever harboured wilderness survival fantasies – canoeing and hiking all day among the spruce and pine, eating heartily then sleeping deeply in a log cabin – then Miškiniškės is the place. Despite the forest setting, it's beautifully appointed: the rooms are snug and attractive, there's wi-fi, a sauna and even a gym. You'll need your own wheels to get here.
