We liked it
The place radiates a picturesque rural simplicity, one that is suitable for those who want to connect a little with the earth and what grows from it
Reasonable prices
Really personal hospitality
We noticed that
During the holidays the farm is a bit crowded. This is part of the point - the place also offers camping nearby, in the woods, which is active mainly in the summer
If you find yourself looking for secluded B&B vacation rentals with a panoramic view and a sense of infinity – you will definitely find Makom Balev - A Place in the Heart and interesting option. We found here a secluded wood cabin with maximum privacy; from the outside we feel in love with the romantic cabin totally surrounded by forest, with the simply intoxicating scent of greenery in the air. The Jacuzzi also looks out into the woods and…the surprise of bamboo in the forest.
Location and ambience
Eyal and Edna managed to establish a farm that extends over a vast natural area. At the farm, the family raises goats (which roam freely some of the time) and produces homemade cheeses from them. There are two cozy cabins here, built of wood and offering an intimate couple's vacation in front of a forest. The cabins are remote from the goat pen, surrounded by woods and offer complete privacy.
So it's true, it's hard to define the place as prestigious, perhaps quite the opposite. The place radiates a picturesque rural simplicity, one that is suitable for those who want to connect a little with the earth and what grows from it.
Mesk Hefer is located not far from the entrance to Avirim settlement, on the western landscape nest - which is good. When you raise your head and fill with healthy air, you will be able to look at a natural forest, the Galilee mountains and even a hint of the Mediterranean Sea.
The host house is located at the entrance to the farm. The "Habokerim" cabin is located a little further down and at a considerable distance the "Mekom Belev" cabin is located. The farm dominates a large area and is located in a tangled forest of oak and oak trees, not far from the "Water to Sea" hiking trail.
What does the place include
The "Mornings" cabin , which is at a reasonable distance from the host's house, enjoys appropriate privacy and borders a natural grove. In the yard you will find a hammock among trees, a sitting area and the view is the adjoining forest. The wooden cabin exudes simplicity and contains a living room and a fully equipped kitchen. The living room has a built-in seating area and the rustic dining area is comfortable. The cabin also has a bedroom, another closet and a bathroom with a large rectangular jacuzzi and an attractive window to the distant sea view.
The "Place in the Heart" cabin is located right inside the oak forest and has a very large front yard that includes sitting areas, a hammock and a "thin" balcony.
You will find here a living room with a wooden fireplace, a kitchen (with the delicacies mentioned earlier), a dining area and a double bedroom. There is also a gallery floor with flexible uses.
You should know
The entertainment options offered here are wide: starting with couple's ranger trips in which you can combine a picnic set of bread, locally produced cheeses and quality wine (and also a map so you know where the "cheap" ones are worth the most), through a romantic horseback ride along the forested hill paths to scenic The Western Galilee, as far as a self-service store with goat cheeses and wine, and a box where you put money alone and take excess. Not far away there is also a "Dir Cafe" with ice creams and soft drinks that works in a similar way. Edna prepares for guests a selection of cheeses and a refrigerator with local delicacies.
We left with a feeling of
Beyond the special rural experience that is offered here, there is another reason for the large number of returning customers and the reputation the place has gained. The reason is Edna and Eyal. If it's due to the genuine smile of workers, the warm and cordial hospitality, due to a high level of maintenance - it doesn't matter. You can simply call the child by his name: there is a blessed simplicity here, a lot of peace and quiet and no less important - reasonable prices.
