Whose idea was it anyways?

The idea of building an upper Hron style traditional chalet in Kysuce may sound unusual. But life is full of surprises.

The idea has been simmering in my mom's head for a while to build a house on the bank of the creek where she, and also I have grazed geese, and where geese bathed and swam at the former location of Geese Pool "pleso." I remember being frustrated whenever I walked the flock of geese from my grand-mom's barn to the geese pool, and mid-way through on the main road, they would take off and fly for few hundred meters to land where the chalet is now located.

The work itself started in the summer 2007, when the location of the house was marked-up with sticks on a reclaimed meadow and a concrete bridge was erected. We spent our first summer in the house itself ten years later, in the summer of 2017. Since 2018 we have opened the door to family and friends to share the tranquility and excitement that the location offers.
