Service & Facilities
Your stay at the Linden Tree Retreat & Ranch is all about the wonderful back to nature activities. Linden Tree is considered one of the best ranches to go horse riding in Europe; the area is all beautiful green landscapes and unique vegetation perfect for riding. The wranglers at the ranch are experts at natural horsemanship and love sharing that passion with their guests. You can take a 2-hour trail ride or really commit and enjoy a multi-day ride. They will support you every step of the way, whether you are a seasoned equestrian or an absolute beginner, and will ensure your experience is one you will never forget. The kids will love the pony rides and all the family will adore taking the restored country wagons for a ride through the village. It’s not just horse riding here either, it’s a total back to nature experience. You can also take a canoe expedition, catch up with family in the hot tub, take a refreshing dip in the swimming pool, take a yoga class, visit the archery range, rent a jeep and explore the UNESCO Biosphere Reserve of Velebit mountain, or hike the caves, mountains, rivers, and meadows that all are within easy reach of the ranch.

Rooms
Although this is back to nature, you can do so in style and refined comfort at the Linden Tree Retreat & Ranch. Stay in a room, suite, chalet, lodge, river tent, or Native American tipi depending on how rustic or how luxurious you would like to be. For a family, the Buffalo Lodge is perfect, housing 8 in gorgeous laid back country style luxury. If you want more of a glamping experience, the Lakota Tipis are incredible; genuine American Indian tipis made by Nomadics Tipi in North America that made tipis for Kevin Costner’s movie “Dances With Wolves”! You can even enjoy the comfort of a real bed and a detached private bathroom too.
Food & Drink
The cuisine joins in with the awards and has been recognized by Michelin. The restaurant serves seasonal Mediterranean dishes with an international flair. The food is prepared fresh from scratch in the open country kitchen and is sourced either from the nearby meadows and forest or is grown as part of the resort’s community-based projects; they even brew their own beer so your evenings will be most enjoyable too!
