Stay
Seosko domaćinstvo Grabež
Gornja Pecka, Mrkonjić Grad
Accommodation and home-cooked meals in a family house in Gornja Pecka.
The first registered farm household in Pecka has taken guests since 2022. The family house, furnished in a traditional style, sleeps up to six. Most of the cooking uses what the homestead grows: there is a large garden, a small apiary and its own spring, and the house also makes pita, cheese, kajmak and plum rakija. It sits about halfway between the visitor centre and the Sana springs, and bicycles are for hire.
