Over 20 years ago, on a November day, we stood on a hill nearby and felt that this was our piece of land. One designed to disappear from the world for a moment and remind ourselves that we are part of nature. Our enclave is located in Mała Wieś, which is actually small, with only 10 farms scattered across fields and meadows. So that you can experience a total reset and enjoy closeness that is not distracted by electronic devices, we have prepared three intimate tents for you, immersed in greenery and without electricity. They are an ideal hideout for tired hikers traveling alone or in pairs. They combine the closest possible contact with nature with scenography straight from the interior design catalog. Here you will experience bathing under a rain shower with water heated by the sun, listen to frog and bird concerts, and if you are lucky, you will see a black stork, a hoopoe or a raccoon. Welcome to our Kashubian fairy tale.
Intimate and as close to nature as possible, because only a thin, cotton wall of the tent will separate you from the surrounding greenery and the sky, full of stars at night,. Our space lies between meadows and fields, on the edge of the forest, three tents are hidden among the trees. They stand on the shore of a peat lake. Each tent can accommodate a maximum of 2 people, and we can add an additional bed in the sun tent.
The area of one tent is 25 m². The tents differ in design elements and colors. Each one has a wide bed with a soft mattress and white bedding smelling of freshness. There are cabinets, clothes hangers and reading lights. Cushions, carpets, armchairs, pouffes, tables and decorations in the boho style and a multitude of lights create a very cozy atmosphere inside and on the roofed, atmospherically lit terraces with a fireplace, equipped with loungers. The terraces - separate for each tent - are located on the shore of the lake.
In the immediate vicinity of each tent there is a table covered with a linen tablecloth, with wild flowers. Small folkloric accents remind us that we are in Kashubia. To protect you from the cold of the night, we have prepared blankets made of merino wool and hot water bottles for you.
The common area, located behind the tents, consists of a shelter, where you will find:
- a roofed kitchenette with running water,
- a free-standing gas grill, gas cooker
- a table for 6 people
- dishes, pots, coffee makers, refrigerators with cooling inserts at your disposal
- a climatic relaxation zone with a fireplace
- hanging hammocks
At a distance, by the forest wall, there is a toilet complex. There is a sink, a shower with running hot water, or to cool off on hot days, water heated by the sun's rays (if the weather is not favorable, the water is cold) and a toilet with sewage. Next to each of the tents there is an additional tourist toilet for use at night.
It's quiet here, but we're in the countryside and sometimes we can hear the sound of farm machinery working in the fields. There's a good chance that you'll be woken up by birds in the morning, with the whooping cranes probably being the earliest to get up. Mosquitoes and moths are also regulars, and lizards sometimes fly onto the terraces. We don't have electricity, so you'll need to take power banks with you to charge your phones.
Here you will find an open kitchen in a natural setting, with a captivating view of the wall of greenery on all sides. With a medley of bird melodies, you will prepare everything you can dream of. The summer kitchen is well-equipped, you also have a gas grill and tourist refrigerators with cooling inserts. We also have a fireplace. However, it is worth bringing the ingredients with you, because the nearest store is about 4 km away.
We will be happy to share with you what is currently growing in our and our closest neighbors' flower beds. You will be able to help yourself with: tomatoes, strawberries, peas, carrots and parsley. There will be a herbarium with fresh herbs at your disposal, there are also apples and pears growing nearby, and blackberry bushes right next to the tents. In the forests surrounding us, seasonally, you will find wild strawberries, raspberries, mushrooms and lots of berries.
If you feel like it, we can prepare a basket full of goodies and delicacies for you: fresh eggs from happy hens and local products (cheese, cold cuts, bread and fruit). These are semi-finished products for preparing a truly exquisite breakfast. For those who cannot imagine holiday cooking, we will recommend tasty eateries in the area where you can try traditional Kashubian flavors.
If you sigh for the moments when you swing in a hammock, watch the clouds glide lazily across the sky and are alone with your thoughts, this place is for you. But if you decide that you've had enough of peace and quiet and it's time to move, the area will welcome you with open arms and offer you a sea of attractions. We have three bikes on site so that you can set off on an adventure through the fields and meadows. Just behind the fence, we have a friendly horse that you can pet.
The area is full of unique pleasures, because after all, we are in Kashubia, and this is an exceptional place. What does it have to offer?
- A bicycle and nature trail that starts just behind the bend and leads to the crystal clear lobelia lakes (Bytów Lobelia Lakes Trail), which owe their name to the lake lobelias. The same bicycle path leads to Bytów, whose surroundings boast a whole network of routes and paths for two-wheelers.
