One of the Guests wrote that there is such silence here, as if you were in the middle of a forest. I wonder if he knew that once a forest was called a wilderness. It is the lack of neighbors, right after the sudden disconnection from noise, that can be felt here the most. In second place is the smell of the forest. We are located in the buffer zone of the Gorce National Park, in a village covered in 17% trees. A few of these percent draw with their tips of clouds behind the backs of our seven pocket-sized cottages. We built them in Podobin, the smallest village in the Niedźwiedź commune. The fields and meadows of the local hills used to echo the disputes over land between the Potaczki and Wodzicki families. Today, at most, you can hear the bleating of sheep or the mooing of cows, which sometimes look into the windows of our Guests. This is the microclimate we have here: homely, secluded and relaxing.
There is a good chance that on the green hill you will have an effective reset and initiate the program: rest. The atmosphere of a compact cottage will help you with this. Your daily settings will be reset by a postcard, available for 24-hour gazing from the terrace or the enchantingly warming waters of the tub, from the jacuzzi or from the sauna (each cottage pampers you a bit differently). The picture shows the Beskid Wyspowy and the Gorce Mountains. On hand are hiking trails, cycling trails, downhill trails, cross-country skiing trails, ski tours, and even a paragliding hill.
Whatever you have in mind: a mountain escape, romantic idleness or an atmospheric celebration, there is a good chance that you will find it in Podobin.
We invite you to a magical place in the middle of the forest, in total wilderness, where no one will disturb you. There are no neighbors here. Feel the smell of the forest, the sound of the wind intertwined with the singing of birds. Feel the rays of the sun on your face and the dew under your feet, let your senses work, during a cloudless sky, count the stars - here in the forest they can be seen more clearly. Come, sit down, make yourself comfortable - our doors are open for you. Don't be surprised when you see deer outside the window in the morning, hares are often guests in the yard.
The cottage has a fully equipped kitchenette (fridge, from pans for breakfast, pots for dinner to glassware for an evening together). We also took care of the basic products (coffee, tea, sugar), so that you don't have to think about quick shopping right after waking up - with us you can sleep in! The bathroom has a shower. We have a terrace overlooking the forest and meadow, a fireplace with a grill. The cottage is equipped with air conditioning, if you come to us on hot days.
The cottage also has:
- a code locker, thanks to which you do not have to carry keys with you when you leave the cottage,
- a set of games such as Monopoly or chess,
- books.
Straight from the terrace you can jump into our heated and illuminated jacuzzi or sauna, and next to it a barrel of cold water.
There are garlands of lights hanging on the cottage, and hammocks are also waiting for you. We believe that it is worth pampering yourself, and when you go on a soothing holiday in the forest, it is nice for the relaxation to be complete.
The location of the Aurora Green Hill cottage allows for constant physical activity. We built it in the heart of the forest. A place where street noise does not reach, and time slows down for a moment. The surroundings of the cottage are a real pleasure for people who go for walks every day. Contact with nature is here at your fingertips. The place is ideal for experiencing forest bathing, because after all, the forest is therapy - it is a primal partnership with the Earth. Everything we need is here and now. Because after all: "You carry a forest within you that reflects the great forests of this world". Aurora Green Hill is a place we have created for you, a place where you can take a break from everyday life, the hustle and bustle of the city and the rush of life. We know that we have managed to create a refuge fully sufficient for life and the ability to listen to yourself and the surrounding nature. Feel part of nature, let the birdsong and the rustle of the trees wake you up.
Private parking is available on the premises. On site included in the price, we provide towels and bed linen. The jacuzzi is exclusive and additionally payable. For the use of the jacuzzi PLN 350 payable once per stay/cash on site.
Sauna PLN 200 payable once per stay/cash on site.
