If you need to strengthen your body, improve your memory, reduce stress levels and relax your eyes that are tired from the computer, then before you reach for antibiotics, we invite you to... forest therapy. You can escape to Pieńki, which is a stone's throw from Warsaw, every now and then to improve your physical and mental health. And according to the Japanese practice of Shinrin-yoku, even one day spent in contact with nature causes an increase in the number of immune system cells. So, do you come to recharge yourself with greenery, peace and clean air?
Nearby, there was the Amber Route leading from the south of Europe to the Baltic Sea, and it was full of travelers - and not just any travelers, because in the crowd you could see Jagiełło, King John Casimir and John III Sobieski. Fortunately, now it's much quieter here, and there are no celebrities in sight. And in our two houses cut off from the world, there can only be you and the most holy peace.
MOOSE HOUSE
Our house can accommodate 6 people. On the ground floor there is a living room with a fireplace and a fold-out sofa where two people can easily sleep. After entering the first floor, you can choose one of 3 beds - a double bed or two single beds (which can be joined together). We also have a baby cot ready. Generally, we have a lot of space, but it is shared, so you can easily forget about intimacy and practice group behavior.
From the living room, you can go out through large glass doors to a wooden terrace, from which, after a few steps, you can go to a Finnish hot tub, hidden a bit under the trees. In winter, you can warm up in the tub, and in summer, cool water provides relief from the heat. A little to the side of the house we have a designated place for a bonfire with logs to sit on, and a bit further there is a place with a badminton net. The house itself is located on a very large, fenced (safe for dogs) and densely forested plot bordering the Skulski Oak Reserve. From the entrance gate to the house there is approximately 80 meters of forest road. Due to the nearby river, there are mosquitoes in the summer, we discourage them, but we try not to exterminate them at all costs - they are a meal for bats and birds.
ŁOSZAK HOUSE - from September 2023
Moose's younger brother - a more modern forest house, made of natural materials with a negative CO2 balance and a green roof. Downstairs there is a living room open to the kitchen, bathroom and stairs upstairs. And interesting things happen on this mountain. Neither a mezzanine nor a captain's bridge connects two bedrooms. On one side of the mezzanine there is a net for lying down, on the other there is a free space thanks to which the ceiling can be seen from the ground floor. Bedrooms are a real treat for those who like to look at the stars before going to sleep, thanks to the large glazing in the roof you can do it under a warm blanket even in winter :) The whole thing is really impressive! Łoszak, of course, also has its own terrace, and on this terrace there are trees growing undisturbed by the construction. Next to it there is an electric hot tub with hot water 24 hours a day.
The entire area is fenced. Because we often and warmly host dogs, Łoszak and Łoś are separated from each other and additionally fenced to avoid unnecessary dog tension :)
If you want to come here to practice for "Kitchen Revolutions", this is a bad idea. The kitchens in both of our houses are not suitable for ambitious cooks, because we have a small induction cooker and no oven. But the dishwasher will wash the dirty dishes :)
However, if you want to completely relax in the forest and forget about cooking, we have two options for you.
Just let us know the day before and a two-course dinner will be delivered to your door, preferably prepared from local products, by our neighbor Inga. We especially recommend this option, before your arrival we send you a menu with options to choose from.
A few hundred meters from us there are Grzegorzewice Ponds with a fish fryer serving fish from their own ponds.
We highly recommend forest bathing, which you can start right from the doorstep. It has been proven that walking in the forest and surrounding yourself with green color relaxes you, helps you regenerate and calm down. So be sure to pack comfortable shoes and ride kilometers on forest paths (if you prefer bikes, bring them with you). The reserve is small, but the trail along the edge of the Rawska Plateau begins quite nearby and is really worth taking a walk along.
If walking and exploring the nearby areas tires you, jump into a Finnish hot tub - each house has its own - we guarantee that all worries and tiredness will disappear instantly. We also encourage you to light a bonfire and look at the night sky - we know from experience that such evenings can last until the morning. Water and water slide enthusiasts will find their way to the Thermal Baths in Mszczonów and the Suntago amusement park. We also recommend the charming Kamionka and the Dwórzno vineyard, which organizes a grape harvest every year.
However, upon arrival, our guests often forget about the existence of a car, lie down comfortably with their books, newspapers, music and relax in the garden. Try to slow down, catch your breath and recharge yourself with greenery.
What’s there for children?
Our kids disappear into thin air - they disappear for whole days and we see them most often for meals. There is so much to discover, track down and build (e.g. a secret base in the forest) that there is no time! The youngest ones get dirty in the mud, the slightly older ones watch the work of ants, and the older ones build outdoor games and defend forest hideouts. Regardless of age, everyone feels great in a hot tub. In case of bad weather. at home we have prepared several games and books for the youngest, of course with a forest theme :) The entire area is fenced, even if you can't see or hear the children, you can assume that they are alive and safe :) There is a swing in the garden and a bonfire pleases not only adults - Baking sausages is also an important task for kids!
Climbing the stairs upstairs for small children requires parental attention.
What’s there for employees?
It's true that we defended ourselves against WiFi with our hands and feet, but we come here to work more and more often, that's why we installed an LTE antenna, the internet works fine :)
Come and visit us for workation! in the special Las Office price package (Monday-Friday stays, ask about the package when booking), we have high-speed Internet for your exclusive use, you can freely make a video call with us on the webcam, receive e-mails and send larger attachments. We do not have a desk, but a large table in the living room will perfectly replace it, deckchairs on the terrace can be used to perform lighter tasks. To finally arouse the envy of teammates, confcalla can be held even from a hot tub.
To make it more comfortable for you to stay longer, there is a washer dryer in the house.
