We visited the cottage in September, during a vacation in Abkhazia. I was very impressed, everything is ascetic, modest, no frills, everything is in the spirit of that time and Stalin's character. We walked around the rooms, looked at the mirrors... It's great to feel that the leader of the nations looked into this mirror, sat at this table! I called on this phone. I was struck by modesty, especially in the light of those palaces of our leaders that appear now. And what a nature around Stalin's dacha, such a view! We went up on foot, so there was a lot of time to contemplate all the beauty. Well, I can't describe it, it needs to be seen! I recommend it to everyone. It's like I've been in the past..
An incredibly atmospheric place combined with comfort and service. Elena, thank you so much for everything.

It is worth seeing, after all, a monument of Soviet architecture. However, rather neglected, although it even gives it a kind of charm, it's like you're visiting an elderly, but formerly domineering person.
By the way, it is usually called simply, the state grant. And brides and grooms come here to be photographed during weddings.
I will add photos later
It's a very nice place. A beautiful building, it feels like there was a great park earlier. It's a little neglected now, but I recommend visiting this place.
It is impossible to get there legally, the cottage is under a state ban, it is surprising that there are photo reviews about the cottage! The post was very surprised to see the pictures and responses! I walked a long distance and was wildly relaxed (((
Well , what can I say .. The park itself is magnificent, a huge area to walk around. And the cottage itself... Just a modern house

After the death of I.V. Stalin (March 5, 1953) and the arrest of L.P. Beria, Khrushchev almost immediately began a new construction epic with state dachas.
On the territory of Stalin's Dacha number 8 or "Swallow's Nest", another state cottage 12 was built - Khrushchev's personal residence, more modern, but as it turned out, little suitable for Khrushchev.
N.S.Khrushchev first visited the new state cottage at the end of July 1958, arriving on vacation from the Bocharov Ruchey facility.
He He arrived in New Athos by boat and ordered to put special mailboxes at all checkpoints of the State Duma to receive complaints from the public. The boxes were inundated with complaints about the lack of housing, transport and poor supply of shops. Housing began to be built, as throughout the country - five-storey houses.
Khrushchev N.S. came to the State Cottage only three times, because he did not like the location of the State Cottage, literally 170 meters from the main street of the city and did not like the small pool (into which seawater was discharged through a pipeline, under Lakoba Street).
After staying for no more than a week, he later rested in Pitsunda or in the Crimea.
Currently, the State Cottage is used as a hotel and anyone can pay for accommodation.
Rare plants for these places have been planted on the territory, which have taken root well in this climate.
Birds are constantly chirping here and you can see squirrels.
You can find out what the interiors and living conditions look like on the website of travel agencies.
The building is guarded, but you can go and see the territory.
An interesting historical place. The furniture of the cottage is not completely preserved - instead of natural veneer, an oilcloth for wood is glued to the ceiling, running water heaters hang in the bathrooms, the wiring to them is made of metal plastic! Ohhh! The building needs high-quality restoration. The park area in front of the cottage was filled with some kind of weed, covering every centimeter of the territory with its leaves.
In general, there is nothing interesting there, I did not feel the spirit of the time, but maybe this is my subjective opinion, I do not pretend to be the truth)
Rude, unfriendly staff! Although this can be attributed to all the Abkhazians with whom, during the holidays, we communicated... in cafes, museums, on the street, in the arboretum, in the market
