Finally, this place is going "officially" vegetarian and, for all practical purposes, vegan. I find petting horses while using them (or similar animals) as food uncomfortably inconsistent, and a the risk of scaring some clients away making my dacha a "no meat" zone. See the MENU (added Feb. 7, 2007)

Guest capacity 1-3 persons at a time although we've managed to accommodate groups of up to 12 in the past. If you require more comfort and privacy than we can offer during the travel season (May to September) the Staritsa Hotel is a viable option. In the winter however, except for the holidays, you get a private room and a horse assigned to you and nobody but you. Visit us in the winter!

Izba living Minimalist level of creature comfort. Bathtub in the kitchen, warm water in buckets, running water in the stream down the hill, outhouse outside. Did you expect anything else for $25/day including unlimited rides?
Guests are reading Pravda newspapers from the 70s. The local publisher gave us a few boxes to be used as firestarter. I'm caught in a dilemma: these papers are true fragments of history yet there is so much and no plausible use for them. Any ideas?
Authentic village style Russian sauna. Bring your own girls.

But the price is right. $25 include a roof over your head, a fireplace to sit by, simple yet healthy and abundant food, and all you can handle riding on strong, willing and somewhat under-worked horses.
