Who wants a hard reset, a green detox and a good cut off from everyday life, hand up. You should look for us in the historical region of the Oberland, located west of Warmia, east of Pomerania and north-west of Masuria. The foreign name comes from the old days when the area belonged to Prussia and refers to the hilly surroundings. It is enough to go to the highest point of our plot to see the green islands of Warmia. Beniaskie! It could certainly be a great place for landscape painters. Around the wooden house, nothing but fields, forests and pastures full of Hereford cows. On the right, access to the shore of Lake Bieniaskie, from which you can observe the village on the other side of the surface, on the left, Lake Wuksniki - the deepest in Warmia and Masuria. In the center, our area, 2 ha of wilderness and a simple house for simple living. In the left and right wings there are two cozy apartments with a fireplace, named after the nearby villages of Mysłaki and Trokajny. They have separate entrances and give the neighbors a lot of freedom.
Your bliss, privacy and chill are our priority, but we never forget the planet. Therefore, almost everything that we used to build our agritourism comes from nature. Certified wood, jute, linseed oil for wood protection, cotton, goose down. Whenever possible, we do not use plastics or chemicals. The bedding is dried in the wind and bright sun of Warmia, neutral in terms of CO² emissions. It is clear that the colors are sometimes not as bright as the super fluid flow to the fabrics, but this is a small price to pay for environmental protection. Thanks to this, nature loves us and almost breaks into the interior of the house, and we do not trim it. The peace and quiet is disturbed only by storks that ignore the prohibition of low and night flights, not to mention the croaking of frogs and the morning call of the crane. If all of this doesn't bother you then welcome to the club! Be sure to come, we are waiting.
Welcome to the outback of former East Prussia's Oberland and today's West Masuria, the historic and cultural region of the world famous Oberland / Elbląg Canal. Here the fox sneaks through the field and crane honks echo across the lake. Your neighbours will be meadows, two lakes, a forest, many wild animals, and Hereford cattle.
On 35 acres of greenery, there's an atmospheric, wooden house with two separate Cottage Apartments "Trokajny" and "Mysłaki" for you. They have private entrances and are separated by a 12-meter "barn" where the bikes and SUPs are kept.

On Beniaskie! you can cook or grill your own food. For shopping it is 6 km to small grocery stores, butchery and bakery in Miłakowo. In the area you can buy many products made according to traditional recipes, e.g. cheese (cow and goat), cider and honey (e.g. lavender), or you can harvest fruits & vegetables on Wiola's farm next door.
When we go shopping in the morning, we can organize delicious products from the region for your breakfast:
- real rolls from a real baker
- organic butter, just like grandma used to make
- "Ermländer" cheese made from the milk of Jersey cows from the other side of the Pasłęka River
- eggs from chickens that still run in the meadow
- organic "twaróg" (curd / cottage cheese), traditionally cut into wedges
- maple honey from bees that collect their nectar in pure nature
- freshly roasted coffee ground by you 'à la minute', and much more.
And on Sundays we bake our own rolls from organic grain freshly ground on Beniaskie!
In winter, in front of a crackling fire, something delicious: Fondue Bourguignonne with fillet of Hereford beef, exclusively grass-fed on the meadows around Beniaskie! and dry-aged for several weeks, so very juicy and a culinary delight. Or cheese fondue with local "Ermländer". And in summer: juicy Hereford T-Bones & Burger on the grill.
Local products are NOT included in the lodging price.
And if you don't feel like cooking: simply bike to the famous "from-farm-to-fork" restaurant Niwa or to the Manor House by the Pasłęka River, or take a trip to the clattering Klekotki Mill by the babbling brook. Neither cooking nor eating out anywhere? Then order a simple daily menu at MiDano, with. delivery on Beniaskie!.
Most of our guests are not bored at all from Monday to Friday.... they come to Beniaskie! to:
- enjoy the tranquility and wideness of nature
- spend some time by the lake
- read a good book from our small library
- look into the crackling, flickering fire in the fireplace
- cook delicious meals from local produce
- daydream in the hammock, in front of the fireplace or on the terrace
- relax in the sauna with a view of the lake
- or simply do "nothing".
In short: slowhopping & easy going! And if you want to explore the region, get some ideas in the "Beniaskie! Explorer's Handbook" and let the adventure begin....
There are 14 hectares of meadows, forest, hills, ponds, lakes and streams - that is the best playground. There is always something to arm and concoct here. And if you want to emulate the beavers and build dams, please don't forget your wellies!
IMPORTANT:
- There are absolutely no safety measures or other safeguards for children on Beniaskie!—none whatsoever. Beniaskie! is all about wild nature and adventure, so you must always keep a close eye on your Marjellchen & Lorbasse!
- Lake Beniaskie is intended exclusively for swimmers or people equipped with a life jacket or life buoy. A shallow entrance to the lake with a wide sandy beach is located across from Beniaskie!: Lake Wuksniki.
Although Beniaskie! has LTE/4G WLAN, we operate as agritourism, i.e. we do not offer corporate or business stays. Beniaskie! is for private individuals longing for true recreation :-)
