Pack your bags, we're going to grandma's. Where the wind combs your hair, you can only run barefoot, many burdens are lifted from your shoulders, and rural life draws you in like a Turkish tapeworm. The days pass by petting dogs, swinging in a hammock and sweet lazing around, during which one of our hens can jump on your lap. They are familiar with people, need sightseeing trips and are always willing to go for a walk in the forest. We can go to the forest, meadows, and swimming in the Dunajec River together. We will also tell those interested about the properties of herbs, teach them how to bake bread, stir them artistically, and in the evenings we will sing something together or sit by the fire, telling stories that will make you lose track of time. This is just one scenario, because if you want to be alone, we will not impose ourselves on you.
We exclusively offer you a 4-person room and an open attic space for up to fifteen people. The remaining spaces are shared because our house becomes yours. We will also share our garden, flower meadows and vegetable garden with you. A secret door will take you to the glass space of a highlander extension, dreamed of and realized by the previous owner's grandmother. It is a place of relaxation with a bookcase, a terrace and a table at which we sit for meals. Because feeding is part of hosting for us. We believe that cake is responsible for the warmth of home and you will find plenty of it, just like bread. If you've just smelled this, start packing. We are waiting for you in Kąśna Górna!
Our 100-year-old house in Kąśna Górna will also become your home when you come to us with your family, friends or in a larger group - for rest or workshops. Its interiors smell of dried herbs and freshly baked bread.
In our agritourism we have prepared for you:
– a 4-person room with a double bed and a bunk bed. There you will also find a table and a small wardrobe. From the window you can admire the sunsets,
– attic, i.e. an open space with a place to sleep for 15 people.
The common space is ours and yours, it consists of:
– a fireplace room with sofas, a large table,
- kitchen,
- a living room with a sofa and a bookcase,
- bathroom with shower,
– terrace with a hammock-swing.
The closest surroundings are our pride - a vegetable garden and lots of flowers. There is also a barn on the plot, where we plan to create a space for groups and for workshops and thematic rallies.
The house stands on a plot of less than 3 hectares, surrounded by fields, forests and meadows of the Ciężkowicko-Różnowski Foothills. We have three visible neighbors and about a mile to the nearest store.
In the House of the sun and sheep, we want to share with you the highest good, which is peace. However, not only rest awaits you here, but also delicious, fresh, home-made food. We share our space with three dogs - adoptive dogs and a flock of friendly hens. We love to host and get to know our guests and we are here for you if you feel like it and need it.
In our house, food is not your concern. We cook and leave no one hungry. Our cuisine is homely, tasty and simple. We bake our own bread and cakes, because cakes cannot be missing at home. We compose meals from what we have created (homemade cold meats, cheeses, spreads for bread) or grown ourselves, as well as from products from local farms. We are constantly testing new flavors and ideas, for example, we learned how to make our own kombucha. We are happy to share the results of our experiments with our guests. We also encourage you to actively participate in garden harvesting, baking bread or preparing infusions.
There is a vegetable garden on the plot, where we grow courgettes, cucumbers, patisons, radishes, lettuce and dill. We also grow herbs. We have patches of nettle, field horsetail, elderberry, purple honeysuckle, comfrey, mint, yarrow and many other plants. We make infusions, health-promoting teas and rinses from them.
We have several food options, let us know before your arrival, in the message you choose:
– classic,
– vegetarian (ovo-lacto-vegetarian),
– vegan.
We do everything with heart and care to make you feel as good as possible with us.
Here life flows slowly but not boringly. First of all, nature is celebrated here. He appreciates the proximity of the forest and meadows, does not get mad at the rooster crowing in the morning, delights with the possibility of picking vegetables from the patch and contact with other people and animals.
If you feel like it, we can go for a walk in the forest together, light a fire in the evening and go for a swim in the Dunajec.
The picturesque surroundings encourage you to take a walk, a hammock under a birch tree is waiting for you to take a seat in it, and freshly brewed coffee to drink on the atmospheric terrace. In the living room, you can sit on the sofa with a book from our library, play a board game at the table and bask in the warmth of the fireplace stove, on which you can also bake pizza or prosziaki.
For volunteers, we will organize workshops on herbalism, handicrafts and bread baking. Our animals love caresses and playing together, dog lovers will experience a lot of dog love from Kinaj, Fiara and Jadzia. And you will probably meet our hens released from the henhouse in front of the gate, ready to take them with you for a walk in the forest.
