In the Dream of Pines, you dream of relaxation in harmony with nature breaking through the large windows of the barn and onto the wooden terrace of the house hidden behind the trees. Curious lizards, squirrels and birds will peek in to check what you are snacking on while relaxing in the pool. And the pool overlooks Lake Mucharskie and there are those who say that it is worth coming here just for the view, because it is what you dream about at night.
We wanted to create a place where you will experience deep and regenerating relaxation. Where the scent of pine oils will bring you relief, and the thoughtful and cozy interiors will allow you to stay without embarrassment. We combine the old with the new, the Far East with the local, the thoughtful with the spontaneous. The tiki bar is like in Hawaii, but the pool atmosphere is like in Croatia, while in the rustic barn, where hygge reigns, you can find sleeping alcoves like in a Japanese hostel. Go to sleep and rest – with respect for nature, tenderness for yourself and a smile for your sleeping companions.
Sen Sosen consists of a house and a barn located on a half-hectare plot 1 km from Lake Mucharskie.
HOUSE - its capacity is 6 people (but if necessary, we can accommodate 7). It has 2 independent bedrooms (both double), a sleeping mezzanine at the top, a living room with a dining room and a kitchen, 2 bathrooms, a dressing room and a kitchenette for working or playing.
BARN – a place to spend time: eating at a large table, lying on sofas, practicing yoga. We have prepared 4 additional sleeping rooms in the barn, a bit like in a Japanese hostel - with lighting, a recess for luggage, heating and curtains. You can only sleep here in the summer, although we had some daredevils who praised our "cabins" even in late autumn!
The house is fully equipped. It has electric heating and a cast iron stove where you can light a fire for coziness. Each time you will receive bedding that is starched and mangled at high temperatures, thus maintaining high hygienic properties.
We created Sen Pines for relaxation in an intimate group, and the decor is a combination of the Japanese philosophy of wabi-sabi with Scandinavian hygge. Here you will find a pre-war wardrobe, the iconic Hałasy, and contemporary crafts from our original Sen Sosen Craft workshop.
Our plot is large, but the house and barn, in relation to the whole, not so much. We value space and we believe that in similar natural circumstances it is a pity to spend time indoors. Sen Sosen is a place where you can enjoy contact with nature, and there are ideal conditions for this outside the house.
And one more important thing: our area is slightly mountainous and will not be the most convenient option for people with mobility problems (there are stone paths, wooden steps, incomplete balustrades).
We invite you to Snu without animals. We are visited every day by squirrels, hares, woodpeckers and multitudes of smaller birds, and in the nearby fields you will meet wild boars, roe deer and deer. We made this decision because we do not want to get in the way of wildlife.
We have a fully equipped kitchen with dishwasher, microwave, oven and coffee machine. You can cook anything you like in it.
At home, there are always dry food items waiting for sudden hunger and a closed shop (pasta, rice, sugar, coffee, tea, spices, some chocolate, sometimes jam, olive oil).
If you don't feel like cooking, you can use our friendly catering. Just let me know, we'll tell you what and where.
We would like you to have the opportunity to truly relax with us - to break away from your thoughts, stop and be here and now. And also just enjoy life.

We have a zip line, a climbing wall, an in-ground trampoline, a painting board and lots and lots of space to play. In summer you can pick raspberries, blueberries, cherries and nuts, and in autumn you can go mushroom picking. There are blocks, crayons, board games and books at home. We also have equipment for babies: changing table, bathtub, etc.
However, keep in mind that due to the mountainous terrain or even the swimming pool with steps, you need to keep an eye on toddlers here.

The living room in the barn (in the summer season) is perfect for informal work, group brainstorming sessions or workshops. There are no desks here, but a large table, sofas and poufs. We have a large dry-erase board at your disposal. We also tested the barn for small training sessions and can accommodate about 10 participants + instructor.
