Coniferis Retreat is a resort of six tiny houses with private jacuzzis, hidden away in the mountain village of Tomnatic (Vadu Crișului commune, Bihor county), in the Pădurea Craiului Mountains. We are less than an hour from Oradea and about two hours from Cluj-Napoca: far enough that you no longer hear the city, close enough to reach us easily. Each cabin sleeps up to 4 people and has a private terrace, a heated jacuzzi and a fully equipped kitchen.

The story of a tiny house resort in the mountains

How Coniferis came to be

Coniferis was born from the wish to create a place different from classic mountain accommodation. A place where nature is not just scenery, but part of the experience. We chose the Pădurea Craiului Mountains, in Bihor county, near Oradea, an area recognised as one of Romania’s top 10 eco-destinations thanks to constant efforts to conserve nature and promote sustainable tourism.

The resort sits in the village of Tomnatic, a small, quiet and secluded mountain hamlet where local traditions, the simplicity of life and the natural rhythm have remained almost untouched by urban bustle. Here, time slows down naturally.

Why tiny houses?

The tiny house concept was the natural choice for us. It lets us offer modern comfort, privacy and functionality with a minimal impact on the environment.

Each cabin is carefully positioned to preserve the quiet, the privacy and the direct connection with nature. The spaces are cleverly organised and include everything you need for a comfortable stay: a fully equipped kitchen, a modern bathroom, a welcoming living area and private terraces where you can enjoy the silence of the forest.

The six cabins – Luna, Tiramisu, Cappuccino, Pistacchio, Hypo and Dyno – each have their own character: some with two bedrooms in the loft, others designed especially for couples, one pet friendly.

What your stay at Coniferis includes

Whichever cabin you choose, your stay includes:

  • a private, heated outdoor jacuzzi, right on your own terrace
  • a fully equipped kitchen, with oven, cookware, coffee machine, tea and basic seasonings
  • a BBQ area and a private terrace with outdoor furniture
  • air conditioning and efficient heating, for every season
  • free Wi-Fi in all cabins
  • free private parking on site
  • a welcoming living area and a modern bathroom, with shower or bathtub depending on the cabin

Experiences for everyone

For couples – special moments for two

Coniferis is known as a romantic mountain retreat, ideal for couples who want privacy and quality time, far from the crowds. Every cabin has its own private jacuzzi, the perfect setting for relaxation and memorable moments.

For families and groups of friends

Coniferis is also a great fit for families with children or groups of friends looking for a different kind of stay, in the middle of nature. The cabins are fully equipped, sleep up to 4 people each and offer the space you need for time spent together. Larger groups can book several cabins to stay close to one another.

We create personalised experiences for special occasions:

  • marriage proposals, arranged discreetly and with attention to detail: an intimate setting, candles, champagne and a view that turns the moment into an unforgettable memory
  • anniversary packages, for birthdays or important celebrations

Pistacchio is our pet friendly cabin, for those who want to bring their pet along on holiday. Just let us know when you book.

Workation – work and holiday in balance

For those who choose to combine work and relaxation, we offer ideal conditions for a mountain workation:

  • real quiet, perfect for focus
  • free Wi-Fi in every cabin
  • a “desk” with a view of the forest

Once you are done for the day, you can close the laptop and simply enjoy the holiday.

Digital detox – reconnect with yourself and nature

Coniferis is the perfect place for a break from screens. Time flows differently here, and nature invites you to stop and breathe:

  • quiet mornings on the terrace
  • walks through the forest, fresh air and silence
  • quality time with family or friends
  • relaxed barbecue evenings, without phones and notifications

Digital detox is not a rule we impose, but a natural part of the Coniferis experience – one that helps you disconnect, clear your thoughts and leave with your energy restored.

Activities and adventure in Pădurea Craiului

Our location, close to Vadu Crișului, gives you access to activities that combine relaxation with adventure:

Coniferis is a place you come to in order to stop, breathe and leave more present than you arrived.
