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 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

- 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!
