Comfortable if deliberately simple wooden bungalow units without TV or wi-fi, but with superb views. Entirely unique for being accessed via a two-person teleferik (cable car). It's an unforgettable if terrifying 80-second ride across a plunging woodland valley starting from a point 2.5km up the Pokut road. There's no other vehicular access. Book ahead.
