Beautiful place to stay! Room was clean and cozy. We enjoyed the outdoor shower. You have access to every amenity as if you were staying with friends. Choni the owner is very nice along with his friendly dog Louie... Tara and Itav are great hosts who will make you wonderful breakfasts each day and care for any questions you may have. Great location not far from the airport or Jerusalem. Fair price... better than hotel or hostel! We visit Israel every year and would stay here again!

You can find owners at backdoor of house(front door belongs to neighbor). Garden with fruits, room, kitchen are very-very nice and clean. It takes about 40 minutes to drive in Jerusalem Old city by car. Choni's family is cool and pretty).

Thay were Great , Went way out of there way to help my stay Enjoyable. . Awesome Get Away.. Car Required.. Beautiful location.

Alles nett danke für die reibungslose abwicklung :)

The description was that the bathroom and toilet were adjacent to the bedroom. They were not. They were only accessible via the garden and with cold nights this was not what we were expecting, The hosts were pleasant.

We stayed only one night on our hiking trip and were so happy and overwhelmed by the beauty of the place and the kindness of our hosts....we were served the best food and everything was made with love and care. Our little bedroom was neat and romantic, the garden was just wonderful - we could have stayed for weeks and enjoyed the hot outside shower under the trees in the warmth. Definitley better than any other place we stayed in israel ...especially any hotel

Me and my friend went twice to Choni's place. It was so sweet and peacful. The place is amazing the kitchen is fully fournished and cosy as the bedroom ... The garden is also amazing surrounded by orange trees and a funny dog ! We didn t get the breakfast as it was written but the couple is so nice that we do not matter. Highly recommanded!!!

הכל היה מעולה!! מומלץ בחום!

Micha and Rina are great hosts. House is located in the queit place with beautiful views - you can really rest. Location is a great option if You have a car - close to Jerusalem and easy drive to many Israel's attractions without traffic jams. The owners are very friendly and caring people, it was a plaesure to be their guests. The place looks even better than on the photos. We had great time there, stayed for 1 week and really enjoyed!

Micha and Rina were very kind and we had a wonderful stay at their house. The unit is seperated from the house, what gives you full privacy. We enjoyed allot since it was clean, practical and peacefull. There is a big balcony, beutifull view from the windows and plenty of light in the apartment.

הגענו וקיבלו אותנו בחמימות ועם עוגה טובה. המקום קסום עם נוף יפיפה . אכלנו ארוחת בוקר שהכינו לנו, במרפסת שטופת שמש מול הנוף. היה לנו שקט ופרטיות. נהנהו מאוד

Very nice house with all necessary things and an excellent mountain views around. Hosts are very friendly and helpful. We've got a wonderful breakfast just in time. Everything was even better than we expected. We highly recommend this place.

האירוח אצל צבי ומיכל היה מאד מהנה. מעבר ליחידה הנעימה והמאובזרת והמיקום המיוחד (נוף מדהים רק מעבר לפינה) , ישנם ערסל וטרמפולינה לילדים בחצר ולקינוח פינקו אותנו בעוגה טעימה , בקבוק יין וארוחת בוקר סופר מושקעת. מומלץ מומלץ מומלץ. נשמח לחזור.

We really enjoyed our stay. The flat was comfortable and the cakes, wine and soaps were a treat. Great location right next to many scenic routes. Very friendly and helpful. Thanks for the wonderful breakfast!

המקום מקסים - צמוד לבית של המארחים, עם חצר נפרדת (הכוללת טרמפולינה, שולחן וכסאות, נוף ושני צבים :)) וכניסה נפרדת (יש מדרגות). הבית נקי מאוד והעיצוב מושקע, נעים וביתי (עם כריות ענק, וסדינים יפים תואמים). נראה שהיתה מחשבה ותשומת לב רבה באבזור הבית (רדיאטור בכל חדר, מנורות לילה, מגבות לבנות גדולות ונעימות) והמטבח (מקרר, כיריים, טוסטר-אובן, צלחות, כוסות, קרש חיתוך). גם בעלי המקום, צבי ומיכל, היו נהדרים. צבי מיהר לענות על כל שאלה בשלב הבירורים, וכשהגענו שמח לייעץ על מקומות לטייל. מיכל אופה ברמה מקצועית ובאהבה, והתחשבה בבקשות מיוחדות שלנו. אני ממליצה מאוד על המקום, ואנחנו נשמח לחזור!

We were 3 families from tel aviv staying at this spacious house, with 7 children at different ages and we had a great time. The house is very comfortable, with more facilities than you cab imagine- basketball at 2 heights, pool, ping pong table, lots of toys and great books for the children and for us. The kitchen is well equipped. We even had a waffle machine so breakfast was superb for everybody. The garden is full of vegetables and fruit, with a taste long forgotten of organic food. It was a relaxing for us and full of action for the children. The view from all over is amazing- the valley from one side and nature at the other. The house is really even nicer than it seems on the picture. Of course was very clean with 2 Snow White towels waiting on every bed Thank you for a wonderful weekend !!!!!!!!!! Waiting to visit again soon and explore the area....

Overall - excellent vacation! The house was a real "home, sweet home" for our big family for a month. We stayed with 5 kids and a helper. Location - rural atmosphere, clean air, yet 5 km from the city (supermarket, medical clinic, shopping center etc), 35 min drive to the beach, 25-30 min to Jerusalem. A mountain bicycle rider paradise - the trails start 100 m from the door and they are awesome. There is wildlife in those mountain woods. The house is fully equipped with anything big family might need. There is only 1 staircase, which is good when you have small children around. It is spacious and full of light. There is a small, but quite good grocery store in the village. The kids were busy with huge number of toys, sandbox, table tennis etc. The assortment of toys will satisfy boys and girls :) The teenager traveled by bus to Jerusalem (not as convenient as a car, but possible, involves some walking). I strongly recommend having a car if you plan to stay in Eshtaol. Dror was very attentive and responsive whenever we needed him. Would I go there again - yes. Folks, make sure not to miss stalactite caves in the region (beautiful!) and mountain trails (walk/bike)

The house in Eshtaol is great. We spent a wonderful week there . The description on the site was 100% precise. The location is very convenient if you want to travel in Israel and see the most interesting touristic places. It is also a good place to rest in a small village near the forest. You can walk, run or cycle there. The location on the hill is very pleasant and picturesque (cool air and wonderful views). The house is really big, it was very comfortable for our group of 8 people. There are 5 bedrooms, a nice living room with dining table, fully equipped kitchen and 3 bathrooms. A garden and terraces are the great advantage. There is a good WiFi in the house. If you are traveling with children there are many toys for them in the house and a place to play in the garden. We hadn’t possibility to meet Adi and Dror personally but we had very good e’mail contact. Dror was very friendly and helpful. He gave as all information and advises about our journey and stay (route directions, interesting places, shopping places etc.) . Thank you.

The house in Eshtaol is beautiful and spacious, we spent 3 days there and enjoyed a lovely "Rosh hashana" family dinner. The neighborhood surrounded by the Eshtaol forest is a great place for a family vacation. The house is equipped with everything you need, clean and excellently maintained. Dror and Adi are very friendly and helpful. Thank you!

Hi Dror, thank you for the warm welcome and your hospitality – also for the bread and fruits the first night – it helped us to start our visit while the shops were still closed on Saturday ;-) we had a great time in your house and enjoyed sitting in your garden:-) Thank you also for allowing us to use the piano – it was great fun to play and sing together warm greetings from Europe

We spent three days in this spacious house and enjoyed every minute we have been there. The kitchen is excellent equipped and from the front terrasse you have a nice view over the valley. The place is quite and you are in the centre of Israel, to Yerusalem it is only 25 min as to Tel Aviv or Ben Gurion Airport. Even for desert trips it is a good starting point. The many sleeping rooms and bathrooms are really comfortable. If you look for a central and quite and familiar place to stay this is really the one! We found a bottle of wine and some fruits as a welcome, very kind. The only minus was the missing internet connection which is currently reset. Karin and Jacob with children

Dror and his family received our troop so warmly and were so relaxed in opening their home to us. We were a family of 13 - three generations from Grandparents down to our youngest grandchild of six weeks. The Ivanir's house was packed with toys and books for all ages plus the proximity was great for touring around the area. We got to the Stalectites Caves early in the morning before the crowds arrvied because it was so close by. In August the heat can be oppressive but we were delighted to use the swimming pool big enough for 6 children to splash around and cool off. The modern kitchen was great and well equipped and loved the ecelectic interior decoration in the house. תודה רבה משפחת איבניר!

A beautiful house in a very quiet neighborhood, surrounded by the Eshtaol forest. Tranquil and green. The house was very equipped and inviting, both for children and adults. It was very clean and excellently maintained. Thank you very much, Ivanirs! We had a very relaxing stay at your place!

We had such a quiet peaceful time, beautiful view and very romantic

Thank you so much to you and your wife for having me in your home and family. I hope we meet again next time I travel through Israel. Again thank you very much. Best wishes Gracienne

We had a fantastic stay with Amir and Yael. The room was beautiful with a spacious balcony and a luxurious jacuzzi bath! Such a welcoming family, made us feel very much at home and went out of their way to accommodate us from early arrival to laundry! Highly recommend.

Wonderfully warm family home. Musical, welcoming hosts. Great view and comfy room!

The host welcomed us very lovley and generously. They pay attention to small details (Like: damp paper, cookies, buttle of water in the refrigerator, clothes rack etc...).

The place host and location are very good. This place is very recomended.

We stayed overnight for our hiking trip and enjoyed the quiet and the long time for breakfast the hiking trails nearby and the swimminghall and saune in close vicinity. After the rush of jerusalem it was lovely to have some peace and rony and his wife were just so welcoming, kind and very relaxed.

Had a great time in Neve Ilan. Rony was a perfect host. Highly recommended.

רוני תודה רבה על אירוח נפלא הדירה מקסימה, מאובזרת היטב ונעימה נהנינו מאוד להתארח אצלכם. נשמח לחזור, ללא ספק תמורה טובה למחיר.

It was a very nice apartment in a nice community. The host was amazing, and he picked us up from the bus stop too. My friends and I really had a great time here!!!

I had a magnificent time , the home is spacious enough with complete privacy . The house is fully equipped with more than needed , the hosts are kind and friendly and always available for any need . Beautiful & serene environment walking distance to a bus stop ,which is by the local hotel that also serves meals at the restaurant for outside guests . A small beautiful village for those looking for a quiet and peaceful vacation and feeling at home ...whole heartedly recommended . Definitely a place to return to .

התארחנו, זוג ותינוקת, נהננו מאד. היחידה נעימה ומאובזרת בכל מה שצריך. תמורה מצוינת למחיר
