What does the word 'Dacha' mean? (Pronounced da-tcha)

A 'Dacha' is a second home or country house in Russian. Traditionally dachas did not have electricity and running water and could only be visited therefore in the warmer Summer months. Dachas today are very different and some offer the latest luxuries and conveniences. Now in our 21st century gobal village PlanetDacha.com was born!
