There are at least 13 reasons why it is worth coming to us.
1. The house is located directly on Lake Tałty. We have a private beach and our own 25-meter pier. This brings us to point two:
2. You can even swim here. You will moor your boat at the pier.
3. How many houses do you know from which you can directly set off on a cruise along the Great Masurian Lakes?
4. Sauna. A cedar sauna right on the shoreline, overlooking the lake. Included in the price of your stay. This requires no comment.
5. Have you seen this terrace where you can eat breakfast or read a book on a swing all day long?
6. The house is really comfortable. From the road side it looks like a grandmother's cottage with wooden shutters, but the interiors are as if a hotel of the "Biały Lotos" chain had opened on the Tałty River.
7. Look at that huge window in the master bedroom. You will wake up with this view.
8. We have kayaks, motorboats and pedal boats for you. Such a private rental.
9. Do you remember that scene with the bench in Notting Hill, with Julia Roberts lying on Hugh Grant's lap? You can play it on a bench by the water.
10. We will accept a maximum of six of you. This way, everyone will have a comfortable space for themselves.
11. Mikołajki is 4 km away. If you want to take a break from cooking, you know where to look for good food.
12. And if you prefer to eat on the spot, we remind you: grilled fish is something. A stone barbecue awaits in the garden.
13. The thirteenth reason is the cherry on the cake: a secret mezzanine where kids love to sleep. And those who dream of returning to childhood.
We are curious what your 13 reasons will be. We are waiting for you with open arms, champagne and a mooring rope. It will be a Masurian holiday that you will not forget for a long time.
We invite you to a year-round exclusive house on Lake Tałty, in the village of the same name, 4 km from Mikołajki. Colorful sunsets at any time of the year are an everyday occurrence here. They can be admired from the living room, bedroom, terrace, as well as the sauna or the pier. This is because our plot has ... its own coastline. A private beach will be at your disposal. So you can moor your boat at the pier and set off on a cruise along the Great Masurian Lakes Trail at any time.
The house is fenced, has a ground floor and 1st floor, a fully equipped kitchen, a dining room with a large table, a bathroom with a shower, a living room with a TV. Postcard 13 can accommodate up to 6 people:
– in a bedroom with a double bed,
- in a bedroom with 2 single beds,
– on the mezzanine for 2 people.
Air conditioning is invaluable in the summer.
There is a separate parking space on the premises of Widokówka 13. Monitoring increases the sense of security.
The well-equipped kitchen invites you to cook, and you can enjoy your meal in the dining room with a table for 6 or on the terrace. In the garden there is a stone grill, which we encourage you to use.
If you are also planning a holiday from cooking, in Mikołajki – just a stone's throw from Tałty – you will find many noteworthy restaurants. We've recommended a few of our favorites below. In the summer, you can also visit a seasonal bar or fish restaurant with your neighbours.
If you want, you will be bored, enjoying the view of the lake, lying in a hammock or sitting on the pier with your feet immersed in the water. Boredom is not scary even in the bedroom! You can stay out of bed all day and look at the Masurian landscape outside the window. However, if you decide to do so, be sure to use the cedar sauna. You have our word that such a sauna session right on the shoreline, with a view of the water, is a very relaxing experience.
If you prefer to spend your time more actively, we have a pedal boat, 2 kayaks and a motorboat (for an additional fee).
The price includes 2 kayaks and a year-round Finnish jacuzzi on the lake shore.
However, this is only an introduction to Masurian pleasures. In fact, it's hard to get bored in our area: the location of our house is worth taking advantage of.
– There is Mikołajki and it is true that it is not the slowest destination in the world, but it is certainly worth visiting this charmingly located Masurian town, which was a fishing settlement in ancient Prussian times. If you like this kind of atmosphere: shanty concerts, the Borderland Culture Festival and sailing regattas take place there. Mikołajki also has great conditions for kayaking, windsurfing and motor sports. The city is located on the isthmus of lakes Mikołajskie and Tałta on the route of the Great Masurian Lakes. It is a junction of navigable routes from Giżycko, Ruciane-Nida, Pisz and Ryn. If you are sailing, we will not write anything more.
– You can explore the Mikołajki area by bike, and you can get a bike from one of the nearby rental shops. Experienced cyclists can take a picturesque route around Lake Ryńskie or Łuknajno, where there is the only mute swan reserve in Poland. It is worth taking a break on the shore of Lake Śniardwy near Folwark Łukajno. The Bełdan Loop, running through the Piska Forest, will also be attractive.
– Or maybe you would like to row? It is worth going on a kayaking trip along the Krutynia River, which flows through the Masurian Landscape Park, and walking through the Piska Forest. You can also take a ferry to Wierzba and Popielno.
– We also recommend simply visiting Masuria: its towns, villages, castles and fortresses. Waiting to be discovered are Reszel and Święta Lipka (sanctuary, fortified castle, gallery), Giżycko (Boyen Fortress), Gierłoża (bunkers from World War II), Wojnówa (Old Believers' village with a monastery and an outdoor photography exhibition as part of the Wojnowski Festival of Photography), Krutyń ( the seat of the Masurian Landscape Park), Owaczarnia (Masurian Museum) or Pranie (Gałczyński Museum and summer music scene).
– If you like being close to nature above all else, check out: the Lake Łukajno nature reserve (home to water birds), the Wild Animal Park in Kadzidłowo, the Deer Farm in Kosewo, the Polish Horse Reserve in Popielno and the Masurian Landscape Park based in Krutynia.
What’s there for children?
The biggest thing with us is that you can sleep on the mezzanine, which is accessed via a ladder from one of the bedrooms. Can you imagine? You can also hide there from the whole world (or simply from your parents) and deal with various very important children's matters. We also have a swing on the terrace, pedal boats, hammocks and a lot of space to spend time outdoors. Just keep in mind that we are right by the lake, so staying with kids here will require your attentiveness and responsibility.
What’s there for employees?
Wifi works well enough for us to be able to work. There is a desk in one of the bedrooms, but you can also spread out your laptop at the large dining table, on the sofa, or even at the kitchen table. What anyone prefers. There are also beautiful conditions for a break from work ... and return to it with charged batteries.
