The hunting lodge was built in 1909 in the White Lake tract Pereyaslav-Khmelnytskyi district of Kyiv region. Once, the lodge was a place for a several-day hunt stay. In 1968, the house was transported to the Pereyaslav Museum of Folk Architecture and Life and later reconstructed.

The house interiors were recreated in a so-called hunting style with few decorative elements. The lodge is an example of a typical early XX-century countryside house, including a living room, a dining room, two bedrooms, and a guest room.
