In Ublik, near Lake Buwełno, in a green glade among moraine hills, unbridled thoughts wander. Sometimes they inspire you to get up at dawn to rush across the flower meadow to the pier and stare sleepy eyes at the sunrise. At other times, they will fulfill the need for a bicycle trip through the Masurian wilderness. In the evenings, they usually slow down to make room for weary heads to contemplate nature from the terrace. On another day, they will guide you to embrace the hammock or encourage you to go to Buwełno by kayak, SUP or by boat. And it is quite possible that out of nowhere they will jump out with the idea of swimming in the lake. Your thoughts can have even more initiatives here, because we have done everything in our power to make you rest with us comfortably, carefree and at ease. The interiors of two houses, which have grown in the meadow like mushrooms after a heavy downpour, and look as if they were part of the landscape, were filled with eye-catching design, old furniture and a large window to nature in the living room. Because it is nature that plays the first fiddle here.
It is simple, idyllic and good with us. Just like that, because Ublik is a sweetheart.
There are two houses in the clearing - one is gray and the other is white. We designed them so that the architecture referring to the Masurian tradition harmonizes with nature - moraine hills interspersed with blue lakes. The houses are surrounded by hectares of meadows, fields, forests and kilometers of wilderness. The peace and quiet that you will experience in a clearing, located far from the neighbors, can only be disturbed by cranes from the nearby reserve and storks bumping into dinner.
In each of the interiors you will find:
- a living room with an open kitchen, a goat and a wide bench by a large window facing nature,
- a separate bedroom with a 180 cm wide bed and a balcony window that allows you to go out to the grass full of dew in the morning,
- a bathroom with an open shower cabin (walk-in type),
- an open mezzanine with two single beds (90 cm wide), accessed by stairs (mezzanine height is 180 cm).
Both houses have spacious terraces for sunbathing and feasting. There are wooden tables with benches, a swing hangs on them, and deckchairs are also waiting.
Although there are two houses, they do not look at each other's windows. They are surrounded by 70 ares of clearings. They are standing near the black house Ublik Green & amp; Black, but each of them is separated and located so as not to parade each other and not to disturb the views.
There are about 300 meters of a flower meadow from the houses to the lake. Because that's what we do here, we do not disturb the natural landscape and we do not enclose the space. We give nature what it owes, and it repays us with the views of wild animals that walk around the clearing without stress, enjoying the eyes of guests. There is a good chance that you will see a herd of deer, elk or wild boar from the windows of the house or terrace.
We focus on simplicity, minimalism and good design based on natural solutions, without plastic and excess colors.
The interiors are cozy and thoughtful. They have a lot of light, some old furniture, natural fabrics and lots of comfort.
In each of the houses at your disposal is a fully equipped kitchenette with an electric hob (with two burners), a dishwasher, an under-counter refrigerator, a Dolce Gusto coffee machine, a kettle, pots and dishes. You can cook anything you want. Inside, there is an oak table to share the joy of shared meals, and outside, a wooden set - a table with benches. You can also use the bonfire, which is located near the lake shore.
And if you do not feel like cooking and you want to take a vacation from the kitchen, we have our favorite restaurants in the area, which we will gladly recommend to you. Below you will find our subjective ranking. We started with our favorites. They will not only satisfy your hunger, but also pamper your palates and senses. They are also very diverse. From the regional flavors of Stara Kuźnia to the mix of Mediterranean, Polish and Asian cuisine, which you can taste at Barka, included in the yellow Gault & amp; Millau guide. However, before you go to the chosen place, check if it does not work only seasonally.
Ublik is a place on earth where we have a special playlist called "niecnierowanie". You will find only proven hits on it:
- welcoming the day on the pier (you only share it with other Ulbik guests, because we have exclusive part of the shoreline of Lake Buwełno), during which you can count on an extraordinary spectacle of the play of lights and colors,
- lying on a private beach or hammocking right on its shore,
- admiring the sun's illumination from the terrace during the golden hour, with a glass of your favorite drink in your hand,
- yoga and meditation on the pier or in the meadow,
- swimming in the lake or admiring the beautiful landscape from the perspective of a kayak, SUP or a boat that is waiting for you on the spot,
- evening bonfire under the starry sky.
Our closest neighborhood are the villages of Ublik, Cierzpięta, Paprotki and Przykop. We are 10 km from Orzysz. The houses are surrounded by meadows, fields, wilderness and forests by the lakes: Buwełno, Wojnowo, Ublik Mały and Ublik Wielki.
For cyclists: a bicycle trip around the lakes, small asphalt, gravel and dirt roads and discovering virgin, tourist and historical places (there are 2 bikes waiting for you on the spot, we will recommend routes suitable for every condition), our favorite trips are a ride to the atmospheric Stara Kuźnia restaurant, the port in Rydzewo, on Śniardwy and further to Mikołajki.
For sea wolves: Cabin and cabinless sailboats can be rented in many places in the area. You will find the most opportunities to catch the wind in your sails in Mikołajki or Giżycko.
For nature lovers: we recommend a trip to the Bagna Nietlickie reserve, the refuge of black grouse and cranes. The Piska Forest, the largest forest complex in Masuria, is also nearby. Deer, elk, wild boar, foxes, beavers, roe deer, hares, wolves and lynx live in the surrounding forests. In the meadows you will meet capercaillies, storks and cranes.
For fans of holidays in the saddle: our favorite Ferenstain Horse Stud in Gałków. It is professional, from scratch, for advanced, young and old. You can experience galloping across the river, trot in the meadows, and gallop in the paddock.
What’s there for children?
Unlimited space, outdoor nature lessons and pleasant access to the lake await the youngest in Ublikowa clearing. Among the favorite attractions are: cycling trips, boating to the other side of the lake (we have 2 rowing boats) or canoeing combined with bird watching (we have kayaks). On the shore, the youngest build castles in the sand, look for crickets in the tall grass, run after butterflies and look for deer through binoculars. In the evening, they fall asleep with a smile on their lips, and in the rain they do not get bored, spending their time watching books, racing resoraks and building cities from blocks.
Let freedom and freedom live!
Keep an eye on the little ones, because the area of Ublikowe houses is not fenced.
