Motif One Guesthouse

A house standing all but buried in trees inside Heyri Art Village in Paju. Enough reviews describe feeling at ease the moment they opened the door that this is a place remembered for its atmosphere rather than its facilities.

There are only a few rooms and no television, so it suits a day of reading, looking out at the woods, and drifting off to sleep.

What guests like

• Time that runs slowly

  One review says that with no television, time naturally slowed and they found themselves picking up a book.

• Books filling the walls

  The study and living room lined with bookshelves is the heart of the house, and several reviews repeat that they spent the time reflecting over a book.

• Conversation with the owner

  Reviews in several languages agree that talking with the owner was the most memorable part of the trip.

• A window onto the woods

  Reviews repeatedly praise the forest view outside the window, and one describes watching the daytime sky and the moonlight at night through the ceiling window.

• Heyri Art Village

  Being inside the village means museums, cafes, and restaurants are all within walking distance.

Good to know

• Odors and ventilation

  One review found it less than pleasant, with a damp smell and cooking odors inside the house that did not clear well.

• Creaky bed

  One review found the bed uncomfortable, creaking with every movement as though it were old.

• Hard-to-Find Entrance

  One review had trouble finding the place, since the dense trees make the building hard to spot.

Recommended for

• A solo trip resting with books
• A night in Heyri Art Village
• A weekend to sort out your thoughts

Explore the property

The house sits back among dense trees, so it barely stands out from the road. In Heyri every house looks like a work of architecture, so the walk to find the place becomes a stroll in itself.

The study and living room, its walls filled with bookshelves, is where you end up lingering longest in this house. There is music and hot tea, and the view opens toward the terrace and garden, so reviews say it was a fine place to spend a whole day indoors even in cold weather.
