There is still a lot to discover in Poland, for example ridges that hardly anyone has heard of. The Słonne Mountains, because it was them that made us change concrete houses for unhurried walks, took their name from the salty springs flowing from their interior, from which the local people obtained salt from the Middle Ages. Now we buy salt from the corner store, but forest streams, wild ravines and deep gorges still attract bears, lynxes and wolves more often than tourists. It suits us.

Although the borders of the Słonne Mountains have never been precisely delimited, you can boldly go between the green valleys of the San and Stryj, somewhere halfway from Sanok to Lesko. In the village of Stańkowa, right on the "horyłkowy" stream, we have an old house with dogs, cats and two Hucul ponies. Now that we have mastered the rural life, it is with great pleasure that we invite you. We share half of the house, so we live in one part and you live in the other. We do not get into the parade, because we have separate entrances, but sometimes the hucul Promek will look at your window, our home wildcat - Tosia will accompany you on a walk, and Andzia will come across a lash. Here, cats roam the house, sleep in pots on the porch, and sofa dogs walk in brushwood or under a blanket. On Horyłka, the saying "like a dog with a cat" means taking a nap together on one couch.

We welcome you to a hospitable old cottage in the heart of the Słonne Mountains Landscape Park, in the village of Stańkowa. Here in a valley between two wooded hills we have our own peaceful farm. It is quiet and green around, we have no neighbors behind the fence, and in the garden and in the pasture you can meet our 3 cats, 3 dogs and two Hucul horses. They rule Nad Horyłka, and we try to meet them and your expectations.

We invite you to the house of the hosts, that is, under our roof. We give you the entire independent half of the house with a separate entrance. The rented space includes a kitchen with a living room, four bedrooms and two bathrooms. The house is old and atmospheric, the squeaky floors convey sounds. So you hear footsteps, hear laughter and voices of guests. So go to us with a good team of friends or with your family, so that you will not be disturbed by the whispers of the old cottage.

Amenities out of this world are not ours - we have a simple and comfortable wooden country house, satisfaction for the longing for peace, horses peeking in the windows, a clay stove in the kitchen, bedding fragrant with washing, but not hotel at all, and ceramics found at flea markets .

The couple will be comfortable here, although you will be able to sleep in a different bed every night. 4 people will have a great time here, but as many as 8 people can easily fit here.

In our house, four double guest rooms, two, are waiting for you
on the ground floor and two in the attic. Downstairs there is a lounge with a fully equipped kitchen and a spacious veranda. Bathrooms with shower and toilet are located on both floors.

Room 1 on the ground floor has a large double bed and a single for younger travelers. Perfect for a family with a child.

Room 2 downstairs has two single beds. We recommend it to good friends, friends or siblings. There is a possibility of joining the beds together and hosting a couple.

Room 3 is a cozy attic bedroom for two.

Room 4 is also in the attic. It has two single beds and a view of the mountains.

The living room is connected to the kitchen. From here you can go out to the spacious veranda and garden.

We welcome animals of all breeds, colors and sizes. However, your part of the house is not fenced, so you need to keep an eye on your quadrupeds.

When they ask us how it is with access to cellular networks, we answer: "there is no madness, but you can always catch something on the field, although the waves are capricious". The internet is a bit better, but not perfect.

Eat whatever you want, because the fully equipped kitchen is at your disposal. Such a modern one with good appliances, a fridge and a large table for all household members. An old clay kitchen stands as an ornament in the kitchen, which unfortunately no longer fulfills its role, but reflects the atmosphere of a country cottage.


We will gladly advise you who to hit for brilliant-quality products and home-made dinners that are most likely to be eaten with more food. Our neighbor, Mrs. Anita, is a culinary sorceress. She bakes bread herself, makes various preserves, delicious sweets, and homemade cheeses. Dinners are delicious, always to your heart's content. We will provide you with the contact to Ms. Anita before your arrival.


For delicious and natural honey and observation of life in the apiary, go to our closest neighbors. Mr. Staszek's bees offer the highest quality multiflorous and honeydew honey.
Connoisseurs of local wine are encouraged to visit the neighboring vineyard of Mrs. Sabina and Mr. Marek.

Walkers are invited on board. Here, walks are like meditation. You can collect slate along the stream, you can jump from stone to stone to the other bank, you can follow a trail, forest, clearing, meadows. The closest thing to do is to go outside the house and go into the forest, it's magical. Our home wildcat, Tosia, is recommended as a guide.

In summer, we will take you to a friendly vineyard, to horse rides behind the mountain, for honey to Mr. Staszek, to relax in a hammock by the stream and to the trails. In winter, we encourage you to go skiing on the newly opened ski lift 15 minutes away from us.

The closest to us are the routes right under our noses, i.e. those of the Słonne Mountains. The name of the range comes from the brine springs found here, from which salt was obtained for centuries. Today no one does it anymore, but you can walk along unmarked paths that stretch for miles, drink water from springs and avoid bear tracks. Apart from forest inhabitants such as wolves, lynxes and eagles, it is hard to come across other hikers, which happens less and less in Biesy.

In winter, it is worth skiing, because the snow usually does not disappoint. Most of the time, we have an excess of it.
Nearest ski lifts:

-Wańkowa,
-Laworta,
- Gromadzyń.


We like to spend time by the water all year round, but most of all in summer.
On a hot day, it is worthwhile to relax by the "gorilla" stream, where the water is just as cold at any time of the year. We have prepared hammocks, swings, places to rest, a shelter and a place for a bonfire there. Behind the house you will find a swimming pool with a dolphin and other toys for the youngest.

A bit further, we recommend trips to the Wiar River, Lake Myczkowieckie or a trip to the bar and rental shop "U Bolka" in Teleśnica nad Solina. These are proven quiet places where you can sunbathe, swim, rent water equipment or fish. From the bank or middle of the river in waders. Canoeists and rafting enthusiasts can go rafting along the "Blue San" waterway.

Our horses Wirus and Promyk are great companions when resting on the grass. They can be petted, fed, cuddled, but sitting is not with them. They are free spirits who feel best in the pasture behind the house.

For those who feel at home in the saddle and those who are just starting out, we have a rarity. Just behind the mountain, you will find the friendly TABUŃCZYK Equestrian Group. They organize horse riding rallies and horse riding around the area.

For local wines, tasting and completely innocent shopping, head to the nearby Stańkowa Vineyard. You can try the white ones - Cymmes and Sammar and the red ones - Bajust. Every Saturday and Sunday you can go to the processing plant between 15-20.

Our kids spread their wings. When they feel like rummaging in the tall grass with Zuzia, Filip and Kajtek, because our dogs are great companions, they stroke cats basking in the sun, feed their horses and build stone fortresses by the stream. On the shore, we have prepared hammocks for them, a shelter to comfortably eat lunch and a place for a bonfire, and finally there is a swing that you can swing by the water.

In the yard (not tightly fenced) there is a swing, a slide and a sandpit, and in the summer there is a large swimming pool. Splashes, divers and baths are welcome.


At our friends' over the mountain, children can try horseback riding, and at the closest neighbor's, see how honey is made.
During the winter holidays, we encourage you to use the newly built ski lift BIESZCZAD SKI.
