From West Altai to Great Chingan, it's just the home we call glamping. Modern European nomads expect comfort, hence glam, but also like to rest in nature, so a combination with camping. It was from the Mongolian and Turkish peoples that we borrowed yurts. Year-round tents where you can watch the stars from the bedside, cook not only in Asian style and rest in a harmonious 5-person group. The only difference is that the doors of the Mongolian yurt face south, the Kazakh door facing the east, and ours facing the Jizera.
The 3 colorful houses are situated at the end of a large plot, right next to the pond and at a safe distance from our house. They have a view of the Izera Foothills with the ruins of the Gryf Castle and the chapel hill of the von Schaffgotsch family in Proszówka. So, on the one hand, we have the Izery, and on the other, forests, fields, meadows and hills. In the back, our guest house, Dom w Home. The 200-year-old silk weavers' house, where we invite you for breakfast, for parties by the fireplace and for dispelling boredom in the library. You can also cut off absolutely and, in the company of the Dark Sky of the Jizera Mountains, cook on your own, wander around, read on the terrace and watch the stars through a telescope.
Take your hiking boots and off you go. Izerbaijan is waiting, we are waiting.
In the Jizera Foothills with a view of Stóg, in Mongolian yurts with quite European equipment. Three cottages with private access to the stars are located on the same, large plot as our guesthouse House in the House. At the end of the plot, next to the pond, with a view of the Jizera range. The distance from the house is safe enough that we won't get in each other's way, and pleasant enough that you can drop by for breakfast in the morning in your slippers. To which we cordially invite you.
There is an intimate SPA for the soul and body: a dry sauna (traditional), a steam bath, an open-air jacuzzi on the terrace and a chilling relaxation area. The spa is available every evening and is included in the price of your stay.
Each yurt is designed for 4 people plus a child. The configuration is up to you, but you better be a good team, because there is nothing to hide in the yurt. The layout of each house is the same, only the decor differs, so choose the one that suits you best. We can choose from red, green and blue. The area of each yurt is 35 m2, and in front of each there is a large terrace.
In the middle of the yurt, under a glass roof, there is a double bed 180x200 with a view of the sky, and near the wall there is a solid bunk bed, which is also for adults (lower and upper bed, each up to 120 kg). The mattresses are Japanese futons - natural, ecological, ensuring a very good sleep.
Additionally, you will find a modern bathroom with a shower and an equipped kitchenette, a large table with chairs, two comfortable armchairs with a coffee table, a chest of drawers with shelves and hangers, a bookcase, and a storage space for suitcases under the bed. Towels, bed linen, coffee and tea are provided.
For the evening, there is a home cinema - a projector with Android TV and a screen of almost 2.5x1.5 m. Log in to your streaming accounts and have a popcorn session :) The most popular VOD and YouTube services are available. You can use the soundbar and listen to music all the time by streaming from your smartphone.
The yurts are heated with a modern heat pump, providing heat down to minus 15 C, and with an additional heater in the bathroom. In summer they are cooled by air conditioning.
Due to the changeable weather and mountain mud, please bring comfortable shoes for walking in the tents.
Yurt guests usually have full access to the House's infrastructure (playroom for children, guides, maps, leaflets, library, board games, coffee corner, paid breakfasts and paid minibar). Access is limited if we rent the entire House for one group.

There is a pond at hand and a view of the ruins of the Gryf Castle and the chapel hill of the von Schaffgotsch family in Proszówka. So on the one hand, we have the Izery, and on the other, forests, fields, meadows and hills.

What’s there for children?
According to us and our children, there is no bad weather, only badly dressed children. Our boys bravely march around the Jizera Mountains, help in the garden, go to the beds to watch zucchini and strawberries grow, ride bikes and bury themselves in the mud. A walk through the swamps is a lot of fun, but pack your shoes for a disguise in your suitcase, because after the last adventures in the mud, we had to take Tom out of the shoes that got stuck.
Our boys will be happy to take new companions under their arms, and we, as parents of little Tomek and Igor, know that safety is the most important thing in having a good time. Yurts are located in our Guest House, far from the roads, so the little ones can experience a real holiday in the countryside. In winter, there is a place to go sledding, make a snowman, go for a walk. There is a small sledge hill in the garden, so red noses and happy faces are guaranteed. During rain, blizzards and storms, we have a huge availability of fairy tales and series.
We organize paper wicker workshops for happy groups, families, children and crazy teams, and in the surrounding places there are glass, ceramic, decoupage and bread baking workshops.
We have for children:
- playground with a house, slide, sandbox and swings,
- zip-line,
- trampoline,
- orchard and meadow for fun and ball games,
- multimedia room with Xbox and Nintendo.
What’s there for employees?
If you like being close to nature, but sleeping on a mat and working with a flashlight is not your dream, you must try glamping. The yurt has a table, a sofa and an armchair in the lounge area. Or maybe you'll climb onto the bunk bed to be closer to the skylight in the roof? Our internet is fine. It's not a speed demon, but it's optimal for videoconferencing or downloading company files. We have 2 connections, so it always works both in the yurt and in every corner of the garden. After work, sit on the terrace with a cup of warm tea and enjoy the view of the mountains, pond and forests while sitting on comfortable armchairs.
If you feel like changing the atmosphere at work, in the guest house you will find a living room with large tables and comfortable sofas. There will be a coffee machine and a supply of teas right next to it. As far as you can go :) You also have a coffee machine in the yurt.
At your request, we will also print the necessary documents, just let us know. If the stay is paid for by the company, we will issue a VAT invoice for the entire stay including breakfast and other meals, so that it won't cost you anything :)
