Lepena Valley Ranch
Opening July 2025!!
We are thrilled to announce that after a 5 year period, we are finally ready to open the doors to our beloved Lepena Valley Ranch, located in the heart of the Julian Alps in Slovenia.
Thank you so much for your ongoing support of our dream property. We look forward to welcoming you into our Eko Ranch, our home and our vision.
Experience Rustic Luxury
at Our Slovenian Alpine Ranch
Exclusive Yet Accessible
Our exclusive ranch accommodates just 12 guests at a time, ensuring you’ll never share this slice of paradise with crowds. Each room offers equal comfort with distinctive character, perfect for guests seeking both connection and personal space.
Nature Immersion
Wake up to misty mornings where red stag graze along the edge of our meadow. Take your coffee from one of our picnic places with a view of the west-facing mountains as the sun shines into the valley. At Lepena Valley Ranch, nature isn’t just nearby—it surrounds and embraces you.
Authenticity with Comfort
We’ve preserved centuries-old stone and timber structures while discreetly integrating modern comforts. Sleep on premium mattresses under the same ancient beams that sheltered soldiers during World War I and kept the animals warm during harsh winters in the early 20th century.
Handcrafted Experience
Every corner of our ranch bears the marks of our own hands. We didn’t just hire contractors—we became them. The wall you lean against, we plastered. The floor beneath your feet, we laid the concrete. This isn’t just accommodation; it’s our labor of love shared with you.
Conscious Luxury
Our definition of luxury isn’t fine china or uniformed staff. It’s drinking mountain spring water direct from source, picking wildflowers for your breakfast table, and having both wilderness and comfort at your fingertips.
Visit Our Eco Ranch in Slovenia
Joining us at Lepena Valley Ranch means becoming part of our story. We’re opening our doors in July 2025 to just 12 guests at a time. If the idea of mountain mornings, greenhouse yoga, and evenings by the fire speaks to your soul, we’d be honored to save your space.

No, our rooms/buildings do not have AC as the structures themselves are made of stone and plaster which keep the rooms cool during the hot summer months. The thick insulation in the roof and walls helps to keep the rooms at a comfortable temperature during hot days. Fans are available upon request.
As with many rustic accommodations, we are quite remote. It is essential to have a car or pre-planned transportation to get to and from The Ranch. If you do not plan to have a vehicle while you’re in Slovenia, we are happy to organize transportation for our guests for an additional fee. Inquire with an email before confirming your booking.
