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.
There, where the fox sneaks through the field & crane honks echo across the lake: on Beniaskie! in the old Oberland (Highlands) of Eastern Prussia, the historic and cultural region of the world famous Oberland or -today- Elbląg Canal.
Your neighbours will be meadows, two lakes, a forest, many wild animals, and Hereford cattle.

Welcome to the outback! Directly at Beniaskie Lake, on a natural meadow with an area of approx. 2 hectares, with its own small deciduous forest, away from the already quiet village of Bieniasze. You will locate us 4 kilometers west of the nature reserve on the Pasłęka River and directly on the border with the Wuksniki Lake Reserve.
You will need sturdy, comfortable shoes to walk around the "garden", because our property covers approx. 14 hectares. It is intersected by two small streams with ponds and marshes and is very hilly - from the vantage point there is a fantastic panorama of our Warmia region. On the other side of the plot you will find Lake Wuksniki, which with 68 meters depth is the deepest lake in Warmia and Mazury. It has crystal clear water (perfect for diving!) and a sandy beach.
So, you will be in nature, peace, and seclusion. The habitat is bordered on the east by the approx. 300 meters long shoreline of Lake Beniaskie, on the south by forests and arable fields, from the south and west by meadows with a moist biotope and hills. In spring & autumn, it is worth arming yourself with rubber boots, and in summer - with bathing suits. On the shores of Lake Beniaskie there is our pier, where the rowing boat is waiting for you; or jump into the lake and swim over to the Mansion House's pier vis-a-vis. A little further along the shoreline is the Beniaskie! Sauna: privacy tucked away on the timberline, with lakeview & Chill-Down-Deck in the lake. Also, you may fish in the lake: from time to time the municipal championships take place here, and large catfish and pike are regularly found and caught. Or explore Lake Beniaskie with our new SUPs...
By our bicycles you can comfortably pedal along field paths or vast forests up to the Pasłęka lowland or Narie Lake. You can also reach the famous Camp Spa -situated outdoor in the middle of fields & forests- in Włodowo in a few biking minutes. In the surrounding woods of Beniaskie! and depending on the season, you can find blueberries, blackberries, wild strawberries, currants, chanterelles, boletus and chestnuts. At night, fascinatingly clear oberlandian skies with countless stars awaits you.
You can spend a carefree holiday here, you can both, hike in the endless nature and explore the surrounding area, that has a lot to offer: Olsztyn with its old town, arboretum, planetarium, aqua park, wakeboard lift, and rope park..,or Ostróda with the world-famous Elbląg Canal and of course Gdansk with the Vistula Lagoon. Also many other monuments of Warmia and Masuria can be easily visited during one-day trips.
For you, we provide a regularly updated calendar of regional events because we know what's on in the old Oberland: fairs, festivals, sports and cultural events and much more.
What’s there for children?
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! Additionally, for the little ones we have here: a wooden swing, a climbing net, a rope ladder, a wooden house with a slide, a hammock, climbing trees, a small sandbox.
What’s there for employees?
Of course you can check an e-mail or surf the Internet on Beniaskie!, but Beniaskie! is not a place for professional online work, because our guests actually come here not to do exactly that...
