Accommodation Concept

Runaway House Galajig offers guests maximum privacy and comfort while maintaining a minimalist and eco-friendly approach. Each house is spaced apart at a safe distance to provide a sense of solitude and immersion in nature.

Runaway House Galajig is a collection of 16 secluded cabins surrounded by the Caucasus Mountains, forests, and mountain streams. Each cabin is designed in a minimalist Scandinavian style, ideal for peaceful and atmospheric escapes from the city.

Features of All Cabins

The cabins are divided into two types: compact (for 2–4 guests) and spacious family cabins (for 6–8 guests). All are made of natural wood and feature panoramic windows with views of the surrounding nature, private terraces with fire pits, and outdoor seating areas. Positioned 10–50 meters apart, they ensure complete privacy.

All cabins include:

• A kitchenette with a two-burner stove, mini fridge, electric kettle, dishes, cooking oil, salt, and pepper

• A private bathroom with shower, hot water, towels, and toiletries
