Mazurska Arkadia is a green land of happiness for those who go on vacation for peace, lake and a million things that are not done every day. It is an oasis of total happiness for mothers because their coffee in Arcadia is always hot. It is a chance for dads to break away because they take their children on a boat and canoe. It's like a fairy tale for little ones because they rummage around here in the sand and pour water from the lake methodically. It is a place of dreams for teenagers, because, first of all, there is WiFi, and secondly, nobody cares what they're up to and they can listen to music, meet cool people and ignore the world together.
There are large spaces here both indoors and outdoors. There may be a problem with finding boredom because with these hectares and square meters there are yachts, boats, sports fields, and around every corner there is something interesting for girls and boys of all ages to do.
We invite you to such a place in Masuria Garbate where there is no boredom, there are surfaces to crawl over, a lake for freestyle swimming, fields to explore on all fours and four apartments with terraces to welcome quiet evenings when it is completely quiet, children sleep better than anywhere else, and dad and mum share interesting stories with their hosts. It's with us. We are waiting for you.
We built Arkadia from scratch, on the green grass of Masuria Garbate. The building does not have a historical origin, but thanks to that everything is here as we wanted it. And we always wanted families like ours to finally be truly comfortable. All beds are single, but some can be joined. Our furniture is antique, so it may squeak sometimes :)
For our guests, we have prepared a huge space and real apartments with bedrooms, living room, kitchen and bathroom. Here's what you have at your disposal:
1. KORMORAN Apartment (60 m2) for 4 people on the first floor - from PLN 790/day:

There is also a common space, which we call the common room, where there is everything that saves the situation in case of rain: ping-pong, lots of books, games and activities.
There is also a place for a bonfire and a real wood-fired grill. We spend time together everywhere, establishing more and more interesting relationships, regardless of the year of birth.
We do not serve meals in Arkadia. Instead, we have complete freedom in the type of taste here: a standalone version and a restaurant version, as well as nonchalant snacking of cucumbers from an organic vegetable garden.
At your disposal are the results of our freely handled passion for gardening. Vegetables grow inadvertently, because it is one of the cleanest regions in Poland.
You can enjoy it yourself, arranging breakfast on your own terrace or a picnic on the grass.
We order ecological jams, juices, honey, as well as sękacz and bread from local housewives.
We have eggs from happy chickens and milk from relaxed cows.
When the weather is nice, the surrounding forests plant blueberries and mushrooms.
In the afternoon, you can drop by the culinary address in the area recommended by us.
And in the evening, organize a barbecue, maybe a fire and enjoy chilled beer.
The kitchens in each apartment are prima sort. If someone comes up with a nice idea for a meal from local goods - he will most likely find in his kitchen all the tools that can be useful for all of this and the tableware on which he will give results.
We are keen sailors, so the main joy of coming to us is the possibility of constant soaking. And yes:
- we have sports sailboats "420" and "Finn"
- we have a family sailboat "Haker 530"
- children's sailboat "Delta",
- SUP boards
- windsurfing board
- pedal boat and kayaks
- we also have a rowing boat (with an electric motor) for anglers, but not only
- we recommend the sandy beach by the lake and the very friendly access to the water
If you prefer being on land, we recommend bicycles:
- there are amazing routes around Masuria Garbate. You never know what will be over the next hump...
- we have really good bicycles (Giant brand) for adults and children, and seats for the youngest.
It is also possible:
- wander with poles in the forests and look for Prussian secrets
- prepare for a marathon, run intervals or just go jogging
- play football, volleyball, badminton, jump on the trampoline or in any way match the energy of children and teenagers
- make a fire or sit at the grill
- ride horses at a nearby stud farm
- visit Hitler's bunkers, bridges in Stańczyki, eat ice cream by the lake in Ełk or go to a concert.
Or just lie there and look at the sky or raise your reading average...
What’s there for children?
We are an ultra-family place. We thought fondly of families who find it difficult to find a place large enough for more than two children. That's why we went all out, providing Arkadia with everything we always missed on vacation:
- spacious apartments so that no one will bother you
- own kitchen in case of a sudden "mommy"
- ecological grocery store available to guests
- travel cots and high chairs to the rescue of parents who can't fit anything else in the trunk
- a lot of safe area (over 2 hours) for every Curious Kid who comes to us
- beach volleyball, badminton, football, basketball, ping-pong, table football courts for young people with normal energy levels at this age
- playground and trampoline
- water equipment: Haker sailboat, kayaks, pedal boat, rowing boat, SUPs, FINN, "420" and Delta sailboats
- terraces for an evening drink and chat while discreetly listening to the room with a sleeping toddler nearby
- a beach with gentle access to the water and a swimming pool for children
- sand on the beach to scratch your feet and feed while mom and dad look away for a while
- quests for interesting stories and legends and passports of Arcadia's friend
