A private home for 2 to 4 guests in Shamalgan village, an hour from Almaty and minutes from Ushkonyr Plateau.
The hosts are professional vintage furniture restorers who built and lived in this house themselves. Every piece has a story, every corner shows the hand of a craftsman.
The house sits on a quiet street in the heart of the village. Shops and cafés are within walking distance. A sauna with a warm marble shelf is available on request.
The resident dog Tuzya and cat Desya keep an eye on the place — friendly, but outdoor only.
Ushkonyr Plateau is just nearby. In spring it blooms with wild tulips and irises; in summer and autumn it draws hikers, paragliders, and light aircraft enthusiasts at 2,000 metres above sea level.
Craftsman House is a great fit for couples or families with children looking to escape the city, slow down for a few days, and explore the surrounding nature.
