The hotel is on top of the mountain "Megura", it can be reached independently on any "SUV" with short overhangs (Toyota RAV-4 and Renault Duster drive without problems and risk of damage to regular tires). But you need a working all-wheel drive, because in several places there are rocky steep climbs and puddles, overcoming which on a single drive can be a problem. "Vacation" in the format of classic hiking with a heavy backpack over his shoulders, mixing clay on wet slopes in rubber boots, waking up in a wet tent with the thought of how to have breakfast in the rain - not for me. Here they feed three times a day, shower with hot water, san.
host and Wi-Fi in the room: you can enjoy the dawn / sunset and conduct radio calls while full, rested and smelling good. "Ark" - a real eco hotel. All power supply from solar panels, water heating by vacuum collectors. I'll be back here.

I would like to share our impressions of a wonderful and unforgettable place - the Ark Hotel on Mount Megura. We were looking for a quiet place in the mountains, away from the hustle and bustle.

We were looking for a quiet place in the mountains, away from the hustle and bustle. Among several options, the choice unanimously fell on the Ark Hotel.
And to be honest, we almost regretted our choice.
This is the merit of the wonderful hosts Natalia and Valery, who surround their guests with attention and care, giving the feeling that you have come home, where they are waiting for you.
Hotel rooms with all the amenities you need for a comfortable stay.
Separately, I would like to say about nutrition, for 8 days there was not a single identical dish, everything is delicious at home, the portions are large.
The hotel itself is unique in its location, there are only forests and mountains around, which you can look at forever.
If you want to take a break from the bustle of the city, sleep, gather your thoughts, breathe fresh air, relax your soul, if you like hiking or horseback riding in the forest, picking mushrooms with wild berries - you are in Kovcher.
Thank you Natalia and Valery for our best vacation, it was unique!
I hope our review will help you make the right choice, and the photos will mentally help you to be transported to this amazing place. . .

Rested with family. Gorgeous views, extraordinary beauty sunsets every day admired them. They picked strawberries, blueberries, Ivan-tea. It is interesting to watch how the clouds float literally next to you. The last three days it was rainy, we lived in a cloud, it was like in the cartoon "Hedgehog in the Fog" and this had its own charm. … More ▾ Rested with family.

No other hotel has ever provided such food. Enjoyed herbal teas every day.

If you are tired of the bustle of the city, noisy crowds and heavy air - go on vacation to the "Ark". It sounds like an advertising cliché , but. . . when you get to Mount Megura and look around, you realize that you are in an atmosphere of peace. This is the place where you completely relax, disconnect from everyday problems, rest your soul and body. … More ▾ If you are tired of the bustle of the city, noisy crowds and heavy air - go on vacation to the "Ark".

My wife and I were in July. Feelings are heavenly: air, nature, silence, and also berries, mushrooms and mountain herbs. All conditions for those who love nature. Landscapes of boundless and indescribable beauty: on the one hand, the villages of Romania are visible, and on the other, the mountains of Pop Ivan, Mika Mare, Hoverla.
We were in a double room, but the beds were single. Water can be drunk directly from the tap, it is pure, spring. There is internet and TV.
Hospitable hosts will provide tasty and varied (never repeated! ) meals with large portions.
P. S. Special thanks to the owners for sending us forgotten things by N. Post))

We were at the hotel from August 6th to 16th this year. There were four of us - me, my wife, and two daughters 2 and 4 years old. The hotel was looked after 3 years ago, but they were afraid to risk going into the wilderness to (and from) which is difficult to get with young children. But, in fact, it was the location of the hotel in the wilderness, far from the settlements (and the people who inhabit them) that bribed the prospect of a relaxing holiday, which is simply not possible in urban conditions. … More ▾ We were at the hotel from August 6th to 16th this year. There were four of us - me, my wife, and two daughters 2 and 4 years old. The hotel was looked after 3 years ago, but they were afraid to risk going into the wilderness to (and from) which is difficult to get with young children. But, in fact, it was the location of the hotel in the wilderness, far from the settlements (and the people who inhabit them) that bribed the prospect of a relaxing holiday, which is simply not possible in urban conditions. And he fully justified himself, but let's go in order. I don’t know what the reader of this review will be most interested in, so I will describe everything.
1) BOOKING AND ADVANCE PAYMENT
We phoned Valery a few weeks before our visit, agreed on the date and amount of the prepayment (which amounted to 50% of the total cost of our stay at the hotel, including the transfer from Chernivtsi, and back). I put money on the Privat card, and received confirmation that everything is OK, they are waiting for us. At this stage (as, indeed, all the rest of the time), Valery was very kind, friendly, and willingly answered all our questions regarding the upcoming holiday.
2) TRANSFER TO THE HOTEL.
Valery met us in the lobby of the station upon arrival in Chernivtsi. On the way to the village, he willingly told many interesting facts about the history of Chernivtsi, the Chernivtsi region, its geography, the life of the population, and similar educational things. Fascinated by these conversations, we drove to the village of Dolishny Shepot, where we transferred to an SUV and drove along the pass to the mountain. The ascent to the pass turned out to be very spectacular and colorful, and left a lot of positive impressions from what he saw and heard.
3) HOTEL AND INTERIOR
The hotel itself currently has 6 rooms. For all the time of our stay in it, on average, 3 of them were occupied. However, 10 days is a rather short period of time, and it cannot be indicative. The rooms are of different sizes. In one of the two most spacious rooms, we had enough space for things, both for us and for the children to play (more on this later). The rooms are modest, no frills, but at the same time quite comfortable, very clean and tidy, with no broken furniture or anything not working. Despite the fact that I have been many times in hotels of various levels from the UK to Australia, and got used to certain standards, the only 2 things that I at one time or another wanted to see in the room during my stay were a TV with a larger diagonal, and the presence tub in the bathroom. This is if you list, well, just do everything that I just do have a desire to see. But even without it, I was completely comfortable.
The rooms themselves are on the second floor. On the first floor there is a hall, a dining room, and utility rooms. The interior is very interesting, and as clean and tidy as the rooms.
4) STAFF
At the time of our vacation, the staff consisted of 4 people: Valery, Natalia, Marina and Yura. All as one friendly, pleasant to talk to, and at any time ready to help you on any issue. I will not paint who is who, and who does what, because. I don't know all the details myself. Yes, it doesn't matter. What's really important is that their relationship with you can be described as "human" and not a "staff-client" relationship. You find yourself in a family, of which you become a temporary member. In this case, no one will burden you with anything. It's all pretty unique, and nice. In general, there is a solid 5+. Marinochka separate greetings from the children!
5) FOOD
I am very picky about food. That is, I eat what they give, but with pleasure I eat a little. With the exception of a very limited set of dishes, guess what I would like to eat now is from a series of winning the lottery. The hotel did not have much to choose, because. the set of dishes served for one meal is limited, and there will not be such as in Turkish-Egyptian-Greek and other all-inclusives. We read the reviews and were prepared for this. And I was just shocked how it is possible to cook the dishes I like so consistently from products that I don’t eat in principle. That's without exaggeration. The taste of the food was simply outstanding. The portions were big. Not that very large (3 times I went to ask for an addition), but not small either. In general, I never left the table hungry.
6) NATURE AND ENTERTAINMENT
What did we do for 10 days?
- Gathered berries. Berries were collected dofiga. That is really dofiga collected berries. That's really dofiga. And it was cool. We mainly harvested raspberries. Raspberries there are just dark darkness. As if raspberries decided to take over the planet, and started with local ones. And delicious... I can’t convey. After that I tried the store - I ate a couple of berries, and set aside. I can’t yet, my impressions are too fresh. It's also full of blueberries. Collected in a vessel, and then eaten with spoons. We caught the beginning of the blackberry season, but already at the very end. Blackberries there will also be immeasurable.
- Walked through the forest. Unfortunately, with two small children, you can’t walk especially through the forest. But there is a paradise for mushroom pickers. I saw the "catch" of other vacationers - very impressive. Basically, by the way, white fungus.
- We rode horses, fed animals, rode on a swing, stupidly rolled on a mat on the grass near the hotel (mode: "vegetable" ; ) ).
- While the children were sleeping, they watched TV (several dozen channels, good reception quality), or climbed the net (connection quality, again, good).
- Played bingo, cards, and classic board games from those that were in the hotel.
- Valery offered to go to the aviary, but we decided that it would be better to just take a walk.
Instead of summary:
In general, the rest (which was what we were striving for) turned out to be as calm and peaceful as possible. The guys from the hotel did their best to make it happen. The local nature is very impressive. In terms of the level of relaxation and disconnection from the daily routine, in 10 days I got the same (if not better) result as in 2 weeks at sea somewhere over the hill. Specifically, from this vacation I needed just such a result, and we did not miscalculate here.

We were looking for a secluded place in the mountains, where there would be nature and only nature, so to speak, to take a break from society. Yes, it's expensive, but. . . it's definitely worth it. The place is unique - incredible panoramas, virgin nature, silence, peace, quality, style and cleanliness of the guest house. … More ▾ We were looking for a secluded place in the mountains, where there would be nature and only nature, so to speak, to take a break from society.

Valera and Natalia, together with your assistants, you really managed to create a homely warm atmosphere for your guests! Thank you!
I think, having arrived there, you will be pleasantly surprised... I recommend it! We will definitely be back again.
P. S. Party lovers have nothing to catch there, this place is not for them.

And we drove off-road through the forest at night... I'm just in shock !! ! This is complete chaos!!!! ! I have no words !!!
These are not people - these are bastards!

This type of recreation is for those who know how to appreciate the TRUE! When I learned about this hotel - I was most impressed by the idea: right on top of the mountain there is a place where you can relax, spend the night comfortably, you will be fed, but around you will be as much nature as the most ardent sociopath can wish : ) In fact, on the way back, boarding the train, they exchanged impressions with a friend: it was as if they were visiting relatives - met at the station, brought, settled, fed, treated, communicated, advised and not overloaded with care, and then took away to the station, brought to the center of Chernivtsi and showed which places are better to visit . … More ▾ This type of recreation is for those who know how to appreciate the TRUE!

In fact, the hotel is ideal for those for whom the little things are important - in attitude, in the organization of comfort, in the preparation of food - you will immediately be asked if you have any peculiarities in nutrition, maybe something you do not eat or do not like. . ?
Settlement: for those who value environmental standards and welcome renewable energy - the buzz can be obtained from the fact that everything there works using natural energy sources.
Tap water - spring, drank, tested on yourself - delicious and great! : )
Despite the fact that the hotel is 10 years old, plumbing, rooms in such condition as it just opened! Everything is clean, clean, rooms made of wood, in the style of minimalism. We only spent the night there, so everything was more than enough!
If your feet are wet (because we were there in early May - sometimes in the afternoon it rained, which could catch a straight line in the mountains), then at the entrance you will be given slippers, put your shoes near a large boiler, in an hour you can go for a walk again : )
Only here I discovered the real secret of Ukrainian cuisine: First you need to get tired of walking in the mountains in the fresh air (if not walking in the mountains, then work in the mountains is also suitable.. ); )? After that, tired and saturated with oxygen, you sit down at the dinner table, followed by greens, tomatoes, cucumbers, radishes, salt, Ukrainian bread! ! ! ! ! ? There should be compote in a clay jug. . In a large clay pot, like a mug, served mushroom soup (from white mushrooms), with garlic so good. ? After that, dumplings with potatoes, stewed in an oven with meat, cheese and sprinkled with greens are served in clay pots!
From such conditions, Ukrainian cuisine seems to be the most delicious in the world . . ! ! ! ! !!
Well, it's all included in the cost of living. . !!
And no ravioli can be compared to our dumplings, and no minister and next to it lay with mushroom soup, and no teriyaki, formage, etc. will not come to this table in such conditions ...!
As for nature and recreation - I went there to rest and recover. . Those who are familiar with fatigue from the exhausting daily rhythm, hustle and bustle of the big city, daily making important and complex decisions, and just a familiar feeling of the need to "reboot" - you here.
There are places where you can see only the mountains around you, there are places where you can sit on a blanket and dream, there are places where you can fall and lie on the soft grass, there are wonderful swings and benches, sitting on which you can look at world, and you can enjoy the book. .
And in general, to hear silence is the kind of pleasure that nowadays becomes not just unique, but exotic. . !!
It's simple - if you want to ride horses - please, they are at your disposal, archery - no questions asked, badminton, frisbee - more space than enough!
We were with a child - a boy of 6 years and even he did not have to be bored!
And most importantly - the feeling that you are happy with the rest and filled with strength and energy makes you already think about the season of blueberries and mushrooms, because there are an incredible number of them! ! ! ! ! : )
Смачний український обід Краса оточуючих гір Веселка в горах - унікальне явище! І нехай весь світ зачекає..! :) Спокій після дощу.. Шикарні заходи сонця Життя проростає прям з дерева :) А ось і готель! :)

I do not know how to write reviews, so I do not particularly hope that it will turn out somehow beautifully. .
Shorter. .

The terrain is super-duper - here are the mountains for you - wherever you see - go there. Even on the road, even in the wilderness. Personally, I was not looking for guides, but mountains, forests, slums. The sunset - the sun - everything here is perceived differently, very beautiful, rich and impressive. Personally for me - the word "walk" is not appropriate, here - rather appropriate words "climb", "travel", "wander", "explore".

The hotel - super-duper - after the parallel-perpendicular Sovkov panel 9 floors - is saturated with taste, originality and sophistication. Domera - cool. It is also possible and necessary to wander and explore. The fact is that there is so much hanging, lying, standing, that the eyes are wide open))) And the structure and architecture. .
In short, they were brought in pots and in tureens - it was still interesting.

Atmosphere - also super-duper - so they manage to do it - to create an atmosphere. Of course, there is a certain "dress code", well, not for clothes, but for the composition of the mind ...Just if you are one of those who believe - that the staff should tolerate "your little things" and smile, because you paid for it - and jacuzzi nada and I want something, I want something ...Don't think to come here! ! ! ! ! You will kill this atmosphere with your presence. Neither you nor Uncle Valerie need it! Go to Kyiv on Khreshchatyk - dump 1-2 kilobucks and you will be carried there in your arms. Here is an informal, homely atmosphere. . Here - slippers, blankets, stories, you know? . . Great hunting terrier named Betty, you know?

Result.
Comfort? - So.
Glamor? - No.
Vacation? - So.
Indulgence of any of your whims - no.
Cleanliness - yes.
Sterile cleanliness - no.
The presence of mountains, forests, abundance of nature - yes.
There are no kiosks, supermarkets or nightclubs.
Somehow. .

Questions for the old. Respond who was in the Ark. The photographs show strange beds - with a high side back, single. Are they shifted for a couple? There are no double beds at all? And so as not to get up twice, what do you recommend to take with you? Books, I see, there are. Food by the hour, so what kind of snack can you take from the "mainland" - chocolates, nuts? Take a boiler?) Coffee, tea? Laxative, tonic, mezim?) Is the food fatty there?

We know firsthand what a wooden hotel is - in Yaremche they lived in such a place - neither grunt nor fart. And how can you hear neighbors in the ark? I'm afraid that smokers will strain it. Or is there a special place?

Good afternoon! I read on the site only positive reviews about the hotel "Ark". Dear tourists who have visited this hotel, please tell me the cost of a standard double room in the spring-summer-autumn period. And one more question: food is paid separately? How much does it cost on average per person per day (breakfast, lunch, dinner)? Thank you in advance for all the responses.

I plan to come here in the late spring/summer. 1.What is there vegetarian on the menu? 2. Is there a cell phone tower near the hotel? 3. We would like to take our bicycles and also "walk" on our own. How appropriate is it to refuse all additional entertainment - quadrics, horses, guides? 4. Was there someone in the semi-abandoned village of Falkov (Falkiv)? Thanks
