We invite you to Kashubia, right to the shore. To the bank of the pond, to the village of Domatowo, to the edge of the Darżlubska Forest. This is where our home was built. From dreams of life by the water, from passion for fishing, interior design and photography. From old furniture found at flea markets, from blues, whites and the warmth of natural wood.
Life here moves on with a soft rhythm, like the afternoon sun. Morning fog is the time to cast a fishing rod and catch a quick catch. Grass carp, bream, silver carp, tench, carp or trout can land on the landing net, and crayfish and mussels also winter in the water. Then a trip to the beach, the quietest one in Błota Karwieńskie Drugie, back for dinner cooked in the home kitchen, relaxation by the fireplace in winter, and by the bonfire in summer. During this time, the kids organize family life in a tree house, build castles for frogs and a dam for the river flowing through the plot, and ride around the area on bicycles (we have one on site, so we have to share). We invite you to the house into which we have put a lot of heart and tenderness. We want you to relax here perfectly, sleep like a gopher, kayaking on Piaśnica, swimming on the Bay of Puck and exploring the surrounding forest paths. Feel at home here.
In the house by the pond, which is unique because it is ours. We carefully selected every tile, curtain and the smallest detail. We wanted it to be like this, i.e. bright, sunny, natural, in blue, beige and wood. The furniture is old, well-worn, renovated and with a soul, as well as country style. But one in the convention of Sopot villas, not grandma's huts. On 74 square meters of space, we have conjured up a comfortable and spacious living room with a fireplace, a study full of fish, a blue kitchen, a cozy bathroom and bedrooms where we can comfortably accommodate 7 people.
It is up to you which bed will suit you best, and you have a lot to choose from. We have for you:
- 1 closed, comfortable bedroom with a large double bed and a beautiful old wardrobe,
- a closed office with a wide, double convertible sofa, a writing desk, a desk and a view of the pond and
- spacious room on the mezzanine with 1 single and 1 double bed, on very comfortable mattresses. We recommend the mezzanine especially for children, if only because of the TV with Netflix. We also have a travel cot for a toddler with bedding.
After tapping the bed, it's time to relax in the living room. Its windows face south, east and west, so beautiful light inside is provided. The link between the living room and the bright kitchen is the table for family meals. From the ground floor you can go out to the terrace, to the garden full of flowers and finally to the pond. You can also stay here and warm up by the fireplace, read, play board games and chat.
Unfortunately, there is only one bathroom with a shower, so make a bath schedule.
Unfortunately, due to our son's allergy, your pets must stay at home.
Just like the whole house, the kitchen is at your disposal. We try not to enter your sweet holiday parade, so we have equipped this large and unique kitchen with almost everything you need for cooking. There is a stylish oven with a hood, a large Smeg fridge, a wide ceramic sink, a wooden worktop and plenty of space to cook together. In the cupboards you will find porcelain tableware for the whole family, lots of glass, pots, cutlery, an overflow coffee machine and a kettle.
If you like to cook outside, it's great. There is a barbecue on the terrace and a fireplace with a grill by the pond. Just watch out for guitar singing, because we are in the middle of the village and the neighbors may not approve of "Szładieweczka" at 3am.
If cooking is not your melody or you will get bored of holiday cooking, we will recommend some great restaurants in the area. We have our favorites.
First of all, and most importantly, the house by the pond is located in Kashubia, but not by the sea. We are about 15 km away from beautiful beaches. So you can be bored on the sand, you can be bored at the pond, or you can not be bored at all.
Even though we live by the road and in the middle of the village, a lush garden separates us from reality. Thanks to this, there is an eternal holiday in the house by the pond. Inside you can feel like you are in a Sopot villa (even though the nearest beach is about 15 km away and 50 km to Sopot), and outside you can feel like you are in the Kashubian outback. In summer, the neighbor's lawn mower or a tractor driving through the home meadow will remind you of the world beyond the fence.
When it comes to fish, you'll be fine, because in our pond there are grass carp, carp, bream and tench, and fishing equipment can be found on site. Get up at dawn or wait until evening and set the hook. And then just gutting, a bonfire and baked fish.
Near us there are beautiful, wild beaches with white velvet sand that you can wander far and wide, and the most beautiful and favorite is the one in Karwieńskie Błota Drugie. You go to the sea through the seaside forest, and the beach itself is vast and wide (wider than the Karwia beach) and, perhaps most importantly, empty. It is most beautiful, of course, after the season, when there is no living soul on the sand, when the screens do not cover the horizon, when you can walk with the wind in your hair.
Our absolute favorite attraction is rafting down the shallow Piaśnica River right to the sea. The difficulty level of the trip is family-friendly and leads through the Piaśnica Łąki reserve.
If you are fed up with salty and, let's be honest, cold water, we recommend Lake Dobre. It's only 5km from us, through the forest, and the lake is clean, quiet and, as the name suggests, good. There is a beautiful peninsula, a small island, and on the shore there are benches, a pier and a small campsite. You can get here by traversing the trails of the Darżlubska Forest or simply come by car.
We recommend the forests surrounding us, full of hiking and biking paths, heather, berries, mushrooms and bay boletes, to the spirits of the forest, mountain bikers and cyclists. We have bicycles and proven, marked paths for you on site, even to the seaside.
The great advantage of our location is that we are close to the Bay of Puck. In Puck, in addition to walking along the pier, you can rent water equipment and eat in a good restaurant. We also recommend an unforgettable walk along the Rzucewski Cliff and visiting the castle located right by the water. If you have never sailed on a fishing boat, you must try it. The GOSK sails from the port of Puck to Jastarnia every day at 10:00, returning at 4:00 p.m. Perfect to see what is happening on the Hel Peninsula, sunbathe, eat lunch and come back.
There are two lighthouses in the area and each of them is worth seeing.
And if you dream of yoga at sunset on the beach, no problem. We know a qualified instructor and a quiet, wild place. Just let us know.
As for a family vacation, it's ours. For kids, we have a securely fenced, large area with a pond, there is a house with a sandbox, a bridge, there are hammocks, there is fun. At home, a comfortable room with a TV, lots of games and puzzles. For trips around the area and trips to the seaside, we have prepared a children's bicycle and a bicycle chair, and for fun on a badminton racket. For the smallest bubbles, we have a bathtub, a high chair and a travel cot with bedding.
There are plenty of activities for kids in the area, the most fun being Evolution Park and the cornfield maze. In winter, we recommend the nearby Aquapark.
