During the Soviet era, the plots of land given out for dachas were only 6,500 square feet in size. But resilient owners found a way to fit in this small piece of land a little house, a steam bath, a garden, an apple orchard and a gazebo.

Welcome to our little tour of the dacha and its surroundings!

The houses that you find at dachas come in all shapes and sizes: from tiny, one-story houses with only a couple of rooms to full-on multi-story mansions. Our house is small, but cozy. It's got everything we need to live comfortably. Learn more from the Dacha Digest!
