In 1936, they started building a cottage on the site of today's Vrbicka cottage. It was built by the Department of KČST in Liptovský Sv. Mikuláš in a wonderful skiing environment at the foot of Chopok and Polana in the Demänovska valley, at an altitude of 1113 m. It was designed by Juraj Povolný and the builder Ján Kapsiar was entrusted with the construction. The master carpenter was Ján Galo with his sons Milan and Dušan from Bodice, the masons were from Pavčina Lehota, Bodice, Svätý Kríž and Lazisko.
It had two shared dormitories and two rooms. There was a natural spring near the cottage that did not freeze even in winter. When it was opened, it was named Cottage of Ján Pálka. Mária Brtáňová became the first cottager. The cottage was open all year round. The growing number of tourists in the summer and skiers in the winter required the extension of the restaurant and kitchen in 1938. They carried the necessary material and provisions from the Demänovska cave on their backs.
After the war, they made a new road from Lúčky, which is still in use today. Mária Brtáňová and her husband stayed at the Vrbicka cottage until the beginning of 1945. In the summer, Viliam Benko became the new cottager. At that time, they started to build Mikulášská cottage next to the Vrbicka cottage. It was opened in 1950.
Today we want to welcome you with the atmosphere of a mountain hut, quality hotel services and the comfort of home.
