There are two houses in our garden - grandfather Moss, who worked hard all his youth as a mail car and bravely traversed the tracks of all Poland (we kept his PKP Zamość stamp and hung it in the bathroom and arched ceilings covered with a stave). He retired with a sigh and settled in Roztocze and here we gave him a second (more beautiful) life. The second house also did not have an easy life, but we took care of it so that now Szyszka can claim the title of "Miss Senior Roztocze". We are in Roztocze, in the Tanwia Valley, on the edge of a pine forest, which we call "ancient" - in summer it shelters from heat and smells of moss, until late autumn it is stuffed with mushrooms, and in winter it sleeps covered with fluffy snow, which creaks underfoot.
Moss and Szyszka recommend each other to overworked heads, in which tangled thoughts play tag. For those who dream of catching an oxygen reserve and those who like to travel kilometers by bike. We will convince the undecided to go canoeing, lie down on the moss and take a leisurely walk through the reserves. It is so beautiful here that instead of writing a card about Roztocze, we will only say: "come by. You will see for yourself".
On the edge of the pine forest stood two forgotten cottages. We took them in, renovated them, and a 4-seater Szyszka was created from a former Canadian house, and a 6-seater Mech from an old railway car. One sleeps long here and dreams the most beautiful, because we are in the countryside, and three sides of the plot are surrounded by forest. In addition, we have ultra-soft mattresses and pillows that you can choose (low and high). Although there are mosquitoes around, thanks to the mosquito nets installed by us, nothing will buzz around your ears.
Moss house consists of:
- from the kitchen connected to the living room (with a fold-out sofa) and a glass conservatory (with a "goat" fireplace) - open space,
- from a bedroom mezzanine with a double bed, which can be climbed by a metal ladder with an open space,
- two closed, independent bedrooms with double beds,
- a bathroom with a shower,
- from the Finnish sauna in the garden.
Dom Szyszka consists of:
- from the kitchen connected to the dining room and living room (with a sofa bed and a "goat" fireplace) - open space,
- two closed, independent bedrooms with a double bed,
- from the bathroom with bathtub and shower,
- from the Finnish sauna in the garden.
From both houses there is an exit to the terrace, a place for a hearth and to lie on the grass. You can take your pet to both houses (very important - please clean up after them - no one likes unpleasant surprises camouflaged in the grass).
*🔥 FIREPLACE AND GRILL The house has central electric heating and an atmospheric fireplace, and in the garden a hearth for a bonfire and barbecue, wood-fired for the price of the stay, prepared earlier by us.
* 💨 AIR CONDITIONING - In the summer you can use air conditioning in the open space in the house.
In both kitchens, you can conveniently prepare meals, make sandwiches for wandering around the area and sit at the table until dawn. You have here all the necessary equipment (pots, dishes, cutlery, glass, etc.). We want you to sleep and rest with us, so we will prepare a welcome basket full of local goodies for a country breakfast. Depending on the season, these will be: country eggs, cottage cheese with chives, butter, baked rye bread, a jar of homemade preserves, pickled mushrooms and pickles. All preserves are made by our mother Antonina, who takes care of vegetables and fruits in her garden, collects herbs in the summer season and mushrooms in autumn.
* 🥒🍳🌲 BASKET OF GOODNESS - At the request of guests, we provide a rural basket of local goodies 30 PLN / 1 person / 1 day - payable in cash on site

What’s there for employees?
We made sure that you can receive e-mails from anywhere in Mech i Szyszka. Our guest-proven Internet does not disappoint, and a mobile speaker, extension cords and wooden laptop pads are very nice additions. Choose a solid table in an open space, a place on the mezzanine or not leave your bed at all. On warm days, we recommend working close to nature, sitting in the garden, where instead of background music you can hear birds chirping during a call with the boss.
