The four suites owned by Judit Sheraf and Avi Ram are the perfect place for a family weekend: each cottage has a double bedroom, a living room that sleeps three, a kitchenette, a heated outdoor Jacuzzi, and a very large private yard with grill and hammock or swing set. A generous Israeli breakfast can be brought to your cabin for an extra fee. The large private pool is open from April to October; the grounds also have an outdoor hot tub and massage room.
Families with active kids will enjoy the enclosed green grounds of this hotel surrounded by forest. A basketball court, minigolf, and a large swimming pool can fill the kids' days, while adults can visit the spa for a soothing massage or a dip in the hammam. Nightly live entertainment and bonfires can cap off a full day of activities and kosher buffet meals. Book a room in one of the newer wings for a more luxurious experience.
Each room at this friendly kibbutz lodging is like a cozy studio apartment, with pine furnishings and chintz curtains. Clusters of rooms share private patios where you can get to know your fellow guests. Breakfast is served in the kibbutz dining room. Joseph's Well offers few activities, but is a good base for exploring the Upper Galilee.
With a view over the Galilee all to way to the Kinneret, the Levin Nof Marhiv will encourage you to stop and take a breath of fresh air. Order a relaxing massage, soak in your hot tub, or enjoy vegan delicacies from the neighborhood eateries. If you need a well-deserved break from touring the nearby sights, spend some time in one of the rustic rooms or cabins and enjoy the gentle rhythm of the peaceful countryside.
Part of Kibbutz Kfar Blum, this hotel in the Upper Hula Valley has spacious and elegantly appointed rooms. The spa offers unusual experiences, such as a rain cave and a Turkish-style steam bath. An Olympic-size swimming pool is a great place to relax after a day of exploring. The kibbutz offers kayaking on the Jordan River and a chamber-music festival every summer. It's 8 km (5 miles) southeast of Kiryat Shmona.
Amichai and Tehila Yisraeli bought this 19th-century farm and converted the former stables, storehouse, and dairy into a charming guesthouse. Three decades later, Villa Tehila retains its old-world character. The simply appointed rooms, which overlook a central courtyard, have the original stone walls and are decorated with antiques. Children will enjoy feeding the ponies, turtles, parrots, chinchillas, and llama. There's a pub on the premises, open only on weekends.
