Living Room
A warm space centred around the fireplace, with comfortable seating and mountain views for quiet evenings indoors.
Stars Peak mountain retreat
A private mountain retreat for up to four guests, designed for slow mornings, long evenings and life outdoors.
Built from local wood and surrounded by the landscapes of Velebit, Stars Peak is designed for a slower rhythm of life. Large windows frame the mountains, the fireplace becomes the heart of cooler evenings, and the outdoor kitchen invites you to spend most of the day outside.
Rather than offering luxury through excess, the house focuses on comfort, simplicity and a close connection to nature.

Good to know
Welcome! To make your stay as comfortable as possible, please read a few important details below.
Arrival directions
The house is at Došen Dabar 1, in Bačić Duliba.
You can reach the house from two directions — from Karlobag or from Gospić.
At Hostel Čelina in Šušanj, turn off and follow the signs for Ravni Dabar, then drive on the paved road until the asphalt ends; from there a gravel road leads towards Bačić Duliba. The road is maintained and suitable for passenger cars.
Shortly after the gravel road begins you will see a turn for Ravni Dabar — do not turn there; continue for about 10 minutes until the turn for Bačić Duliba. Along the way there are also signs for the Stars Peak holiday home, so once you reach Bačić Duliba you can find the exact location more easily.
Generator, oven and hot water
The oven runs on a generator. The generator is also required to heat water for showering.
When you want to use the oven or take a shower, simply send us a WhatsApp message and we will start the generator and let you know when everything is ready.
For communication, you can send:
- if you want hot water for a shower (hot water usually takes about 10 minutes) send us msg via WhatsApp
- if you want to use the oven (the oven can be used as soon as the generator is on) send us msg via WhatsApp
For showering and/or baking, we will reply right away to confirm use.
If we are away, we will show you how to operate these services yourself.
Internet
The Wi-Fi password will be provided when we meet on your arrival.
Outdoor fireplace
Firewood is prepared for you. Just light the fire and enjoy an evening under the stars, or relax and sunbathe on the loungers during the day.
Summer kitchen
You can prepare meals in the outdoor summer kitchen. A barbecue grill and a gas hob are available.
What to bring
You only need to bring clothes and food. Everything else awaits you in the house.
Chilled drinks will be waiting in the fridge when you arrive so you can refresh yourself.
Extra beds
In addition to the double bed, two single portable beds are available and can be placed anywhere in the house to suit your needs.

A slower way to stay
There are no traffic here. No noise. Only changing light, mountain air and enough time to enjoy both the peaks of Velebit and the Adriatic coast in a single day.
Frequently asked questions
How far is Stars Peak from the sea?
About a 30-minute drive to the Adriatic coast near Karlobag — mountain mornings and sea afternoons in the same day.
Can I hike directly from the cabin?
Yes. Several trails start nearby, including routes toward Bačić Kuk and forest paths around Bačić Duliba. GPX files and maps are available on the hiking pages.
Is Stars Peak suitable for stargazing?
Yes. Low light pollution above Bačić Duliba makes Stars Peak a strong dark-sky base for naked-eye stars and Milky Way nights on clear evenings.
Is Stars Peak an off-grid mountain cabin?
Yes. Solar power and rainwater systems support a comfortable off-grid stay, with modern essentials including reliable Wi‑Fi for remote work when needed.
