It's a very cool place, it's a pity that not all buildings are available for visiting. We were in Stalin's dacha itself. Female guides like a tape recorder tell the same story every 15 minutes standing motionless in one of the rooms) An entrance ticket and an excursion of 500 rubles. it seems, plus 50 for entering the territory itself. It's funny, there's no special information, but it's enough for a casual acquaintance) It was very interesting to walk around the territory, thickets, devastation and riddles, it would be possible to conduct very cool excursions if desired, there are plenty of mystics there) but there are none)) A beautiful view from the observation deck, Stalin's cat, with its solidity denoting its own fundamentality inside this place... It took us 1.5 - 2 hours to explore this place.
I definitely recommend this cottage for a one-time visit!

A gorgeous place! It's so simple, but still atmospheric, especially for history buffs like me and my boyfriend!
The minus for which you took off the star, one is the guide(s)? We paid for the ticket, went and looked around the halls. At some point, they decided to go into another hall, and there are people sitting there, a woman is standing, leading a tour. They immediately tell us from the threshold "exit through the balcony!", we answer that we are not going out. "Are you on a guided tour?" (with a claim) - "No, just to see" - "Then take a quick photo and go."
Well, no. I paid a dime, I'll look at exactly what I'm interested in. The lady guide was silent for 5-10 seconds of our calm inspection (and general silence). The young man left, and I went to look at the sideboard located at the other end of the hall. The lady guide said with displeasure and rudely: "You can wait until the tour is over and come back later." I'm a non-confrontational person, but I answered honestly (hinted to her, yeah): "I do not know how long the tour will end, so I cannot wait. You can talk, I'm not listening." I reached the sideboard, took a couple of photos (there was crystal there like in my grandmother's closet, all the decorations were very well chosen (or maybe Stalin also had those crystal salad bowls there :)), I was going to go out. One of the guides sitting around decided to clarify that "We are listening, girl." I replied that it was wonderful, I was not bothering them, listen to your health. After that, I went out and, as requested, closed the door behind me.
The story turned out to be interesting and incomprehensible. Message: for the first time I see a tour guide who so zealously does not want to talk in the presence of other people (= who did not pay). It's her right. But she is an employee of this place and one of its representatives. Why couldn't you say everything politely so that it was a request, like, please wait three minutes, we'll finish the tour and you can come in and see everything. No, you have to talk to me like I'm breaking into private territory. I don't accept such things, it's unprofessional to think that I, as a museum visitor, owe someone something.
Otherwise, the place is very cool, the visit is inexpensive, so I advise you to visit!

A very beautiful place, the view from the gallery is amazing! The cottage itself is quite modest. Now it has a dilapidated appearance, but maybe that's the beauty of it. The tour is interesting, but short, it was quite possible to see on your own. It was difficult to take pictures because of the large number of tourists. It's another thing when I got there early in the morning. The cottage itself is closed and there is not a soul around! You can take a quiet walk and feel the atmosphere of the place.
