Three houses on an estate along the clear karst Jesenica river, just 20 minutes from Plitvice Lakes. Pool, sauna, kayaks — and space that's entirely yours while you're here.
Artemis sits in Lička Jesenica, on the bank of the karst river of the same name, which rises in a nearby village and winds through Lika's protected nature. The 8,500 m² estate holds three holiday houses, a shared pool, a sauna, a stone house with a wood-fired oven and grill, a private dock and a playground.
Everything is in one place, yet nothing feels crowded — the estate is large enough that families and groups need never run into each other unless they want to, and private enough that the river in front of the house feels entirely your own.
If you would like some sea after Lika, you can continue your holiday in our apartment in Vodice — see Artemis by the Sea.
Each house is a self-contained unit with its own entrance, kitchen and outdoor space. Book them separately, or all three together — and the whole estate becomes yours, for up to 22 guests.
Small House
Up to 5 people
For a couple or a smaller family — quiet by the river, close to everything else.
After the river and the bike ride comes the part people come back for: a sauna, a jacuzzi and a chill-out zone where there's nothing left to do. The pool is open-air and sun-facing, with loungers along the edge and a hedge that shields it from view.
The Jesenica rises at over 550 metres above sea level and runs right through the estate — it reaches us cold and so clear that you can see every stone on the riverbed. From the private dock you step straight into the water, and in the morning the river is so still that the whole forest is mirrored in it.
Along the bank sits a stone wall and a small natural pool, and a little further downstream, wooden steps lead to a calm stretch of river — perfect for swimming and kayaking.
Experience · Activities
Kayaking, Cycling, Evenings on the Terrace
Kayaks wait ready on the lawn, trails start right outside the door, and the dock is perfect for jumping straight into the water. For a quieter afternoon, there are loungers in the shade and a covered terrace overlooking the river.
Your Team. Your Estate. Two Days Out of the Office.
Artemis lets you book the privacy of the whole estate for smaller corporate groups — up to 22 people. The stone house, with its traditional wood oven and grill, serves as a shared space for socialising, meals and meetings, with the pool, sauna and river right next door.
Food and activities aren't automatically included in the price — they can be arranged on request, either independently or through outside partners.
