Siedlisko Farmhouse

We have 4 apartments on our farm, each with a separate entrance. Two are located in Grandma Zosia's renovated house, the other two in the adjacent, newly built guest area. We, the hosts, live right next door, in a log house. Each apartment has its own kitchenette and bathroom. And now from general to specific: – The squirrel room is designed for 2-4 people and was our first one. It has a double bed, a living area with a sofa (fold-out) connected to the dining room and kitchenette. There is also a small bathroom with a shower. The high ceiling provides the feeling of spaciousness that we are looking for. The wall in the kitchen and bathroom is decorated with 70-year-old bricks laid by Michał's grandfather. An ant or mosquito may appear. Paw included. – The buffalo room is for 2 people. You sleep on a comfortable fold-out sofa. There is a kitchenette, a table with two chairs and a bathroom with two sinks and a shower. – The warrior's room is designed for 2-4 people. It has a private terrace and access to a hot tub. Hot tub available for an additional fee. It has a bedroom with a double bed on the mezzanine (be careful, it can be hot here in summer) and a fold-out sofa in the living area. Opposite the sofa there is a kitchenette and a bathroom with a shower. The apartment opens onto a terrace with comfortable furniture and a hot tub. – Room with a deer for 2 people. It has a double bed that can be separated into two singles. There is a kitchenette and a bathroom with a bathtub. In the garden there is a large playground, a hammock, a fireplace, a round table with chairs and a large table in the connector between the buildings for evening gatherings. A place friendly to BEV/PHEV vehicles (place marked in PlugShare).

Each apartment has its own kitchenette. Coffee in the morning, basket in hand and shopping to the nearby store (150 m).

The Lublin region could be offended if it heard that someone is bored here. We have several national and landscape parks in the area, lakes, our own spirit and the best cycling routes. The Green Velo Eastern Bicycle Trail runs a kilometer from us and most of our guests come to us by bicycle or with bicycles. Every afternoon guests brag about how many kilometers they made that day. They often go for a record, and we record their results on a special board. Maybe you can beat Radek: 124.8 km? Or maybe you will come to us from the other end of Poland, just like Bogdan, who came to us 1000 km from Rybnik? Or, like Andrzej, Tomek and Klaudia, will you make a beautiful landscape route from Zwierzyniec to Chełm: 123.7 km? There are plenty of possibilities. You can stay with us for a break on the route, you can use our Siedlisko as a base. If you have a competitive spirit, you can take part in the MTB Kresowe Marathons. In 2021, Wojsławice - 31 km from us - made its debut in marathons. Of course, you don't have to be your brother with bicycles. Polesie can be explored in various ways. We recommend nature. From Siedlisko you can go to: – Chełm Landscape Park (10 minutes by car), – Polesie National Park (40 minutes by car), – Sobibór Landscape Park (30 minutes by car). We talked about forests, it's time for lakes and lagoons, because we have plenty of those too. We start the ranking with: – Lake Dębowy Las, in Wołkowiany, 15 km from us. It is quiet there, you can swim, fish, rent water equipment (kayak, pedalo), play beach volleyball, light a barbecue with friends, go for a walk or a bicycle trip around the lagoon or just lie on the beach. – Then we can recommend Lake Glinianki (4 km from us). There are crayfish in the tank, so the water is really clean. Few people usually rest here, in the summer the bathing area is guarded by a lifeguard. – If you are looking for the most developed leisure infrastructure, then head to the Żółtance Reservoir, 10 km from us. There is a guarded beach on the lake, piers, food trucks, a beach bar, equipment rental, a playground for children. There is a bike path around. There is also a Bielucha ice cream stand - that's the Chełm cheese company. When you are in the vicinity of the Żółtańce Reservoir, you can visit the local Jagiełło Brewery, and go for a fish in Pstrągowo. The restaurant by the ponds has been family run for 25 years. The menu is short and based on trout. Fried trout, grilled trout with fresh herbs, trout in mustard sauce, fish soup, baked halibut, and fried carp. Everything fresh and prima sort. There you will also drink beer from Browar Jagiełło. Being a stone's throw from Chełm, you cannot miss it on your route around the Lublin region. Several buses to Chełm depart from our Okszów every day. Stop next to the church. A quick guide to what to see, where to climb and where to dive: – On Zamkowa Góra, it is worth entering the Basilica, or more precisely, climbing the bell tower to see a beautiful view of the city. It's also nice to take a walk around the park. Do not miss the Uściluska Gate, it is the oldest building in Chełm. - It is worth visiting the Historic Chalk Mine with the Bieluch Ghost in the lead role. It's about 50 minutes of walking through the underground labyrinth carved in the chalk rock, with a guide. Corridors stretch under the entire Old Town on several floors. Remember about warm clothes, because underground is cold (9 degrees) all year round. – You can get lost in the streets of the Old Town and look up at the interesting, though somewhat dilapidated, tenement houses. - For a walk, it's also nice to head to the Dyrekcja Estate, on Stephenson Street, built for the employees of the Regional Directorate of State Railways. Beautiful houses and tenement houses, green surroundings, and you can stop for a coffee in the garden of the Chełm Culture Center. – You can also follow the trail of multiculturalism. Although the Chełm synagogue currently houses a bar, you can learn more about the Jewish community in Chełm at the Chełm Land Museum. Another testimony to the multiculturalism of these regions, this time the Orthodox Church of St. John the Theologian, open to this day. The church is closed, in turn, the church of St. Santa.
