If Gizewo were in Mallorca, the local spell would be "tranquila, cariño, tranquila!". But luckily Gizewo is in Masuria and instead we keep repeating: "take it easy, no nerves, there is time for everything". We have a Sunday here every day, we eat every breakfast as if it is Christmas, and from the afternoon we devote ourselves to radical contemplation of couches, sunbeds and hammocks stretched between the trees. This is how we live here, slowly, in our own way, a bit like in a fairy tale - in an idyllic house overlooking a pond, horses chewing grass and tails wagging dogs. The icing on the cake are peacocks looking at the windows.

If, like us, you value other people more than labels, the welfare of animals more than leather on furniture, you put peace of mind above all else, we will surely get along. Maybe we don't have luxuries here, but we care about comfort, coziness and good memories. Come to Gishewo for freckles on the nose, smoked fish, pizza from the oven and the holiest of peace.

We speak these languages: Polish, English

We are on-site, we give our guests space and intimacy, but we're always ready to help

The history of this place is trivial and similar to hundreds of others: I am from Masuria, my husband from Podkarpacie, we are 25 years old, we work in Warsaw, we fall in love with each other, but my longing for Masuria takes over. We run away to the countryside and find this neglected and forgotten place by God and people. For 13 years we have been coming, weeding, cleaning, renovating and saving whatever we can. We live out of suitcases, in a car, with 3 children, 2 dogs, 3 horses and 2 cats. Here and there. But always together. By the fire we plan the next day, the next embellishments and we recharge ourselves with peace. I love nature, the smell of fog, I listen more willingly than I speak and I do more than I promise. I will do anything for animals, I won't cut down a tree, I won't fall asleep without a book and I won't get up without coffee. My husband (normally in Warsaw) is the "frontman" during the season: he entertains guests, takes care of the wine, untangles fishing rods, makes a fire, and plays the handpan. It is thanks to him that Gizewo looks the way it does now, he is responsible for higher matters, and I am responsible for everyday life. We are looking for guests like us: with a book in hand, with a camera in hand, with passions that we can listen to for hours around the campfire. Without labels and unnecessary pomp, respecting animals and nature. You are looking for peace and quiet - we have it in abundance here!

Place rules

Animals

  • With some animals (small dogs, medium dogs)

Number of guests

  • Number of guests: 15 people

Arrival and departure times

  • Arrival from 14:00 to 21:00

  • Departure from 08:00 to 12:00

  • If possible we will allow earlier checkin / later checkout (please contact us just before arrival)

Other rules

  • 1. We only accept dogs that sleep in their den, not in their beds. Dogs must also be friendly to other animals that live with us.
    Preferably, the subject of animals that want to come to us is set individually. We reserve the right to refuse to come with a pet.
    2. There are fish in our ponds and we allow guests to fish, but please do not treat our ponds as a fish shop and do not try to stock up for the winter. Also, treat fish with respect due to animals. Put small fish into the pond, and do not gut the fish in front of your children. This is one of the iron rules that apply to us.
    3. We have a garden for you, feel free to use it :-)
    4. In our house, animals are residents and guests alike. Peacocks proudly walk everywhere, but we do not allow children to chase them in the hope of tearing a feather, we do not groom cats with dogs for fun, and we do not feed horses without the consent of the owners.
    5. We love children, we have them ourselves, but we also know that leaving them alone by the water or with horses may end tragically. Please look after the children and spend time together by the water and with animals, then the holidays will be peaceful for you. We as hosts are always nearby, even in the matter of first aid we are trained, but it is not difficult to misfortune by the water.
    6. We are ruthless when it comes to segregating rubbish ;-). Let's segregate consciously and use what we can, and nature will thank us for it. Tap water is safe to drink, and bringing a few dozen plastic bottles of mineral water is really unnecessary ;-) Our chickens will eat what is left of the dinner.
    7. We do not spray the farm with anything for mosquitoes and flies, because swallows, peacocks and fish effectively take care of it so that even ticks are not present. However, it may happen that you will be woken up at 5am not only by the crowing of a rooster, but also by the buzzing of a fly over your ear. Well, such charms of the countryside :-)
    8. We love guests, your stories, passions and if you want to invite us to a bonfire, you can always find us in the stable or in the garden, or in our little house called a "chicken coop", because we do not impose our presence by nature :-)
    9. We have a home sewage treatment plant, if any of the guests will be on antibiotic treatment, please let us know. Let's also save water, a shower 3 times a day is really not necessary in the countryside. The laundry service is additionally payable.
    10. There is no coverage at home. The phone works poorly, and sending an e-mail is almost a miracle. Take our word for it and don't try to persuade us for technical solutions. The lack of coverage really has its advantages :-) but don't worry, we know a place with us where you can work on a project online or pick up e-mails :-)
