Sazköy Tekir Village House stands in a forest-surrounded valley, 7 kilometers from Kaynaşlı. The house was built by the family's grandfather, Ramazan Tekir, about a century ago. It is a two-story wooden structure built in accordance with Abkhazian cultural tradition. Farm animals roam in its garden, a wood stove burns in winter, and dinner is served by the fireplace in the evenings.
A stream flows through the green garden, which extends over a 10-decare plot. There is an old water mill over the stream, and a small waterfall a little further on. Visitors describe this walking route as the most peaceful corner of the village house. Breakfast is served in the garden when the weather warms up; comments particularly highlight the hot served pişi (fried dough) and homemade products.

Guide's Note
What Kind of Place is Tekir Village House?
The house was built by Ramazan Tekir about a century ago, in accordance with Abkhazian cultural tradition. The two-story wooden structure is located among hazelnut orchards and forests. Accommodation is available in the eight-room village house; shared common areas such as a barbecue area and a communal TV lounge are also available. Most visitors see it not as a luxury facility, but as a peaceful retreat that disconnects them from the outside world.
When to Visit?
In spring and summer, breakfast is served in the garden, and the walking path by the stream is at its most vibrant during this period. In winter, the wood stove and fireplace come into play, and visitors find this season more introspective and calm. Weekends can be busier, so weekdays might be preferred for those seeking silence.
How to Get There?
It is approximately 14 minutes from Düzce city center and 7 kilometers from Kaynaşlı district center. For those departing from Istanbul, it takes about 2 hours, and from Ankara, about 2.5 hours. The road from Kaynaşlı to Sazköy passes through a mountainous route; going by your own car is the most comfortable option. Those going by public transport can use bus lines from Düzce towards Kaynaşlı and complete the last section by taxi.
How Many Nights Should You Stay?
Even a one-night stay is enough to shake off city fatigue. But for those who want to see the water mill and waterfall by the stream and spend time in the garden, two or three nights are more enjoyable. Comments indicate that those who stay for three nights truly relax by slowing down their schedule.
What to Eat?
Breakfast is served in the garden and this is the most talked-about part by visitors; hot pişi and homemade jams are frequently mentioned. Dinners are eaten by the fireplace, with local and Abkhazian dishes served. Traditional products such as Abkhazian cheese, smoked meat, grape juice, and tarhana can be purchased at the facility.
Things to Know Before You Go
Since the road passes through a forested and mountainous route, careful driving is required for night arrivals. Check-in time is 14:00, and check-out time is 12:00; clarify reservation conditions and cancellation policy in advance. Pets are allowed, but it is advisable to be cautious in areas where farm animals are present in the garden. For travelers expecting Wi-Fi and comfort, the facility is not up to city hotel standards; it offers a rural village house experience.
Best Spots for Photos
The old water mill over the stream and the small waterfall behind it are the most photographed corners by visitors. The wildflowers and grassy area in the garden provide good shots in daylight. In the evenings, the seating area by the fireplace is preferred for indoor shots.
