In a clearing by the forest, on the outskirts of the village, surrounded by trees of Magura Małastowska, we created a place for ourselves to live and practice hospitality. In the fork of three streams, a house was built - special, because it was saturated with our feelings. Dreamed and dreamt of, finished with clay, wood and stone. Built largely by our own efforts. The house in which we now receive guests, creating a unique place to relax. Why so unique? Because when you arrive at Trzy Potoki, the navigation shows that you are nowhere. There are other worlds here. Meat eaters gorge on celery pate and baked beetroot, children have 101 ideas for games, and newly met people feel like they are at home, i.e. freely and without a hitch. There is no signal, just like there are no neighbours, the internet is not very fast. There is a hedge of forest, so gusty winds treat us gently, the night sky gives us plenty, and the sounds of the village come as if from afar.
Come for some relaxation and normality, because in the Low Beskids we have them to share. We also have five rooms, three streams, two cats, the Old Cottage and a dog. And a colony of bats, which are not as scary as myths paint them. Thanks to them, you don't have to clap at mosquitoes, chase away midges and other man-eating creatures.
You can book the Old Cottage on our second profile: TRZY POTOKI – STARA CHATA.
In the natural house that we built from wood, clay and stones, you sleep very long and soundly. Even for children.
In our green clearing among the trees we have a guest house with 5 rooms and an Old Cottage for exclusive use for 5 people.
The house is large and bright, smells of baked bread and herbs, surrounded by a large terrace. The rooms are large, comfortable for two people but also suitable for a family with children. They all have their own bathrooms.
- "Blue" Room (attic) maximum 4 people or for parents with three children (different bed configurations available),
- "Colourful" Room (ground floor) maximum 4 people; 1 double bed and bunk bed,
- "Oriental" Room (ground floor) for maximum 4 people; 1 double bed and bunk bed,
- "With a Tree" Room (attic) for maximum 3 people; 3 single beds or 1 double and 1 single,
- Double room "Hotel Marrakesh" (ground floor) maximum 4 people; two small rooms connected by a hall with one bathroom; in the larger one two single beds or one double bed, in the smaller one a single bed and a place for an extra bed.
We also wanted a common space for guests. On the ground floor there was a large dining room with a kitchenette, where we serve meals, which in the evenings turns into a central integration point. Next to the dining room there is a spacious living room. It is not only used for relaxation and reading books, it also turned out to be a great place for morning exercises. In the ground floor, right next to the entrance hall, we have created a room for all kinds of sports equipment, wet clothes, shoes and other effects of exploring the area.
We have access to the Internet and although we do not have fiber optics, its speed allows remote work.
Living in the countryside, in close contact with nature, we pay great attention to our diet and this is how we prepare meals for our guests. With mindfulness. We will not let you go without breakfast, and the basis is a diversely set table in accordance with the principle "eat breakfast like a king". There is a chance that some items will surprise you, because you may find our specific version of oatmeal with stewed fruit, millet and various cereals, home-made bread, lots of all kinds of spreads, vegetable pâtés, baked beets, home-made cheeses, cold meats, seasonal vegetables, some of them from... own cultivation. There will be milk and cereals for children.
We also offer two-course dinners for those interested. We cook mainly vegetarian. Vegetable broth soups are usually available during the day, so you won't starve to death until 6 p.m. Second courses usually contain both meat and vegetarian dishes. Plus a lot of additions such as groats, vegetables, and salads.
The kitchenette is not large, so preparing main meals yourself is only possible in the off-season, when there are few guests and we do not serve dinner. Guests living in Stara Chata can feed themselves regardless of the season, and the option of purchasing meals is only possible in selected periods.
When you leave the city, in search of a completely different life in the countryside, suddenly the entertainment changes too. You appreciate the silence, the sunny days, the lesser spotted eagles overhead, the spotted salamander you spot on a walk, the cross-country trail right under your nose, the cool water of a stream, and the evenings in a wood-fired sauna. It's the fact that there's time for morning yoga in the living room or on the terrace, that neighbors are far away, that in the evening you can listen to a cricket concert, and during the International Jazz Bez Festival in Nowica, to wonderful musical virtuosos. Don't let our location fool you. There's something going on in the wilderness, too, because the Beskid Niski Mountains attract minds full of ideas.
Our region is rich in unique events and festivals; you just need to know where and when they happen:
- IN NOWICA theater festival (held annually in September),
- International Jazz Bez Festival in Nowica (annual event in December),
- Łemkowska Watra in Zdynia (in July),
- International Folklore Festival "Świat Pod Kyczerą" (in June),
- Dzikie Stoły (a culinary event held regularly),
- Beskid Vibe - a music festival in Ujście Gorlickie (July),
- orienteering competitions - Rajd Hawran, Mordownik, Rowerowy Beskid Niski.
So you can follow the cultural trail, stay completely in our clearing, or take a few steps to the stream. Or head into the Beskids right from your doorstep. Mountain hikes without the crowds await you. You'll have the opportunity to learn about the history of the Lemkos, discover abandoned villages, and discover forgotten Orthodox churches. For example, in Nieznajowa, Lipna, Radocyna, Czarne, and Długie. It's also worth visiting Wołowiec, Ropki, and in Zyndranowa, visiting the most famous Lemko Culture Open-Air Museum in the Low Beskids.
We also recommend the trail to Maślana Góra, stopping at the Beskidzkie Morskie Oko lake along the way. From here, it's just a stone's throw to the viewpoint in Szymbark and the Pogórze Village Open-Air Museum.
In winter, conditions are excellent for cross-country skiing, especially for "wild" hikes. You can also use the groomed cross-country trails located in Krzywa.
Downhill skiing is also possible in the Low Beskids. Although there are no large resorts here, the slopes are pleasant and usually not as crowded as in the high mountains. You can go, for example, to:
- the chairlift on Magura Małastowska (about 10 km from us),
- the T-bar lift in Małastów (about 10 km from us),
- the T-bar lift in Smerekowiec (about 12 km from us),
Spring and autumn belong to sheep and shepherds. It's absolutely worth seeing it with your own eyes at least once in your life. The redyk, a ceremonial departure of shepherds with flocks of sheep for grazing and their return from grazing at the end of the season, begins from Czarny to Nowy Targ and back. The spring redyk begins on St. Adalbert's Day (April 23rd) and ends on St. Michael the Archangel's Day (September 29th).
After the attractions, you can lounge in a hammock, set up an astronomical observatory on the terrace, or relax in 101 other ways.
During the summer, we open a small frame pool, accessible to children only under the supervision of parents or guardians. During the cooler season (usually from September to May), you can use our sauna and hot tub. We offer free use of the sauna once per stay – for short stays (2-3 days) on Saturdays. If you're staying longer, it's also available during the week. It's worth booking a sauna session in advance. We heat the hot tub when there are more guests in the habitat.
Rest in peace, your uncombed hair, we have one hundred and one places for children to play and rest. Daily shopping for wild strawberries, digging potatoes for dinner on your own, smelling bean flowers, recognizing carrot leaves, knowing how to mow rye. You will be able to show all this to children in Trzech Potoki. Moreover, when the weather is good, our habitat turns into a natural playground. Carefree and unrestrained childish ingenuity reigns supreme. Toys are out of the question, and the most interesting things are stones and clay, lizards and watching frogs, wading in a stream and playing in the bushes, chasing a kitten and stroking a dog...
We also have a small seasonal swimming pool, a sandbox and a trampoline.
During the season, there is an offer of various workshops, some of which take place on site and others in neighboring villages. It's also possible in the off-season - when the house is full of kids.
If you want to go on a hiking trip, the routes start in our clearing. You can do it even with a stroller (as long as it has large wheels), so you're free to go. In winter, there is cross-country skiing, skiing, sledding, waist-deep snow, and in autumn, trips to the forest to pick mushrooms.
For parents with small children, we can also recommend - book the rooms downstairs (Oriental and Colorful).
Take your team to us for a workation and you will make them remember this trip for the next year. In the dining room you can make yourself comfortable at several tables. There is one large table (220x85), two medium ones (120x80) and one small one (90x80), as well as chairs and benches. In the living room, you can hold a 4-6 person meeting comfortably arranged on a sofa or in an armchair by the fireplace. Our guests come to rest in silence, so they should not disturb you. However, if you need a moment of concentration or complete silence for a video call, we invite you to the room. There is a small table that will be perfect for such moments.
In the Old Cottage, as befits the main room, there is a large table with chairs and armchairs.
