Some of our guests say that walks at sunrise are a habit for them. We encourage you, although you don't have to. You can just as well get enough sleep in comfortable beds for all the times, and when the time is right, go catch the wind in your hair, listen to sheep whipping and admire the view of the Tatra Mountains or Babia. And still breathe the clean air and enjoy the silence that reigns at our 761 meters above sea level. If something interrupts it - it will be the laughter of kids rolling down the hill, interrupted by the laughter of their parents, who finally managed to find a moment for themselves.
Our history is like many others - from town to country to happiness. But unlike those who knew it was their dream, we weren't sure. We wanted to try it with a guesthouse, but we thought, "Who will come to a hole like this?" It turns out that a few wanted to. Then they came back, and in addition they told others that it was fun with us. That we care for our guests, we infect them with good energy and we cook delicious meals at home. Almost everything we will serve you is our products: from vegetables to bread to cheese. Because Przystanek Babia is our great joy: an apple of the eye and satisfaction with every smile of our guests. It sounds like a cliché, but we put our whole heart in it. Come to us for fairy-tale views and a dose of good humor.
Our guesthouse was built on a 70-ares plot with a view of Babia Góra or the Tatra Mountains - it depends on which side you look. We will welcome you in one of 5 apartments (2, 3, 4 or 5 persons). Each of the apartments is like a separate flat. It is nice to spend time in them when you are not on the trail. They have their own balconies and carefully finished interiors.
The common space is primarily the area around our house, where you will be waiting: deckchairs, hammocks, swings, a fireplace and a playground for kids.
With us, you can integrate, and you can also not. We love what we do, and running a guesthouse is our favorite everyday life, so we are 100% for you. During the season, we organize bonfires every week, we are always happy to answer your questions and advise where to go and what to see. But we are discreet - if you value privacy and peace, you will find them here.
And although this place is friendly to families with children, the area around the house is so large that you can also relax here intimately, for two.
With us you have complete freedom: you can cook your own meals or buy meals. We serve simple, home-made cuisine, based largely on our own products. Our mother has a farm next door and this is where the dairy products we serve come from: cheese, cottage cheese, eggs, milk, butter, oscypek cheese and korbacze. We bake our own bread, we always cook our soups with our own meat (chicken or duck), we have our own fruits and vegetables.
If you are vegetarian, let us know in advance and we will arrange meatless meals.
The cost of breakfast is PLN 40 and dinner is PLN 50.
Well, even if you wanted to, there is no chance of getting bored here. Unless that's what you want - then you may not take advantage of the proximity of great bicycle routes, mountain trails and ski lifts. In this option, you lie down on a hammock with a view of the mountains, pick up that book you haven't been able to finish for 2 months (or a new one, because there's no point in bothering with that one), splash in the pool or order a room massage (from PLN 150).
However, it is best to combine passive recreation with active recreation, because the area has a lot to offer. What's being done well here?
- He walks in the mountains - that's obvious! You will probably come to us for this purpose. And you won't be disappointed. We are a great base for trips to Orava, Podhale and the Tatra Mountains as well as Slovakia.
For those who want to reach the peak of Babia Góra (1,725 m above sea level), we recommend starting from Lipnica Wielka, following the green, less frequented trail from Polana Stańcowa.
Our greatest advantage is the proximity to nature, we are surrounded by forests, meadows and glades. You can choose several beautiful walking routes directly from the facility, and mountain trails are also nearby.
Silence, peace and lack of crowds are the everyday life of our undiscovered and not yet commercialized area.
We suggest going to Marysina Polana (the route is about 6 km from our facility), climbing the observation tower from which you can admire the panorama of the Tatra Mountains, Orava Lake and Babia Góra. On the way back, it is worth visiting a shepherd who makes mountain cheese in a traditional way.
– He rides a bike – there are plenty of picturesque routes around. They are gravel or asphalt. They have different levels of difficulty, so everyone, even very young, two-wheeler lovers will find one for themselves.
We ride bikes ourselves and will be happy to advise you where to go, depending on your preferences.
- You take advantage of the proximity and attractions of Slovakia (our facility is only a 15-minute walk to the border).
We recommend visiting the Orava Castle, Orava Lake or taking a ride on the Orava Forest Railway. There are numerous mountain trails and ski trails in winter for active people. After an active day, everyone will appreciate relaxation in the thermal baths.
– In spring he goes looking for crocuses, and in autumn we invite mushroom picking enthusiasts. The surrounding forests are rich in boletes, bay boletes, saffron saffron mushrooms, and many others.
– In the summer and winter seasons – takes part in integration bonfires that we organize for our guests. It's good fun and we serve highlander delicacies.
We share the huge, open space around our facility. A small number of buildings and the proximity of forests create the "spectacle" of our area. And at night you can endlessly admire the starry sky.
What’s there for children?
And we have lots of attractions for children. We really like it when families with children come to visit us. Here, your children can run ahead of their time on our large plot (it is not fenced yet, but we are away from the main road), they can swing on swings and hammocks, they can have fun on the playground or in the home playroom, which is perfect when it's cooler. We have a swimming pool, a trampoline, books and games at home. In winter, you can go sledding here, take a sleigh ride or just roll in the snow on the slope. There is also a chance for new friendships - because there are more rather than fewer kids here.
And with a few blissful, lonely moments for visiting parents in mind, we also organize animations for children.
These are, for example:
– outdoor activities with an animator,
– pizza making workshops at a friendly pizzeria,
– art classes (regional art).
Moreover, you can go to a nearby farm to make close friends with cows, chickens, piglets or ducks, and for social meetings with sheep we refer you to Bacówka. There, Baca will tell anyone interested about the production of oscypek cheese and the shepherd's life.
What’s there for employees?
In each of our apartments there is a comfortable table where 2-4 people can work. You can also choose a blanket and a comfortable sofa or work in your pajamas from the bed. Just don't forget to change out of your pajamas for the video call. If you have already planned a meeting with your team during your stay, you can conduct it in comfortable conditions using a flipchart, extension cord or printer. After work, we invite you to relax with a book in a hammock, soak tense muscles in the pool or go on a mountain trail.
