A timber cabin,
your fire on the island.
On Mureș Island, where the city fades into a distant hum and the sky opens wide. The hot tub waits — steaming, silent, with the river just beyond the porch.


Where the only sound
is the water.
Refugiul Rustic is a log cabin tucked away on Mureș Island. The air smells of resin and river, and from the porch you can watch the Mureș drift by. Five minutes from downtown Arad — though you’d never guess it.
We keep things simple: a kitchen stocked with everything you need, firewood ready to light, the hot tub warm at dusk, and the kind of silence that lets you breathe. Built for couples and small groups looking to step away from the noise.
Hot tub with jets,
under the open sky.
Warm water, jets that work the tension out of your back after a long day, and a sky full of stars overhead. Whether it’s snowing or the crickets are out, the tub is always just right.



On Mureș Island, in Arad
Five minutes from the center, tucked into a bend of the Mureș where the city disappears. Easy to find, hard to leave.
Reviews from our guests
“The hot tub at night, a glass of wine and the island silence — exactly what we needed to unwind. We’ll be back as soon as we can.”
“Clean, well put together cabin with everything you need. We cooked together, lit the fire and stayed in the hot tub past midnight. The hosts — kind, discreet, on point.”
“Ten minutes from the center but it feels like you’re miles away. The warm tub in winter with snow on the ground was absolutely incredible. Wholehearted recommendation.”
Reserve your
evening at the hot tub.
