This silence is surprising and addictive. Sharpens the senses. Thanks to it, you can feel how the house smells of pancakes, and then realize that it is actually the aroma of a larch façade warmed by the sun. In bed for good night, breathe the air full of essential oils and appreciate the solid wood house. Take your time and enjoy the taste of wholemeal bread, dumplings and risotto, and then just go through the gate to our Lago Piccolo. Besides, in Tu Sowoli we speak even slower. After all, nothing is chasing us. The Borecka Forest stands as it used to, Lake Krzywa Kuta still hides secrets, and cranes return to the surrounding fields every year. So if you don't have time to think, come and share ours.
In the morning we will serve you breakfast, we will arrange the time for dinner, and then we will tell you where to find some time for yourself. Maybe in a magical peat bog? On a bicycle trip, along the Masurian Legends trail, or drifting on a SUP on the backyard lake. A house on a hill in Masuria Garbate will effectively hide you from the world. Fall into a green oasis among the desert meadows. It's not a mirage.
PS. During the holiday season, June 14-September 1, 2024, we invite children over 10 years of age, and babies and toddlers during the remaining period.
We cordially invite you to our guesthouse on a hill, overlooking the lake. In the house you breathe clean air and essential oils, because it is built using the special CLT technology - Cross Laminated Timber, which means cross-laminated wood. The structure is made of spruce, and the facade is made of larch. Many finishing and decor elements (table tops in the living room, kitchen countertops, our library, stairs, bedside tables, table tops in the rooms) are made of construction waste. We tried to use the materials to the maximum.
Our guesthouse is not large, we can accommodate a maximum of 11 people. We live on the ground floor, in our private part and we are happy to cook meals for you.
On the ground floor of the house there is:
- open space with:
- library,
- dining room, where we serve you breakfasts and dinners, and where you can spend your free time,
- kitchen, which is also open, but due to sanitary regulations, guests do not have access to it,
- terrace along the entire length of the house,
- toilet,
- our private living area.
On the first floor there are 4 rooms for guests (each room has its own bathroom with shower):
- 3 rooms are double and have double beds, a desk with a chair and a comfortable folding armchair (extra bed), on which we put a comfortable mattress. Then the armchair becomes a full-fledged single bed.
- 1 family room, 4-person, has two bedrooms. In one there is a double bed, a desk with a chair and an armchair. In the other there are two armchairs (folding), which if necessary can serve as full-fledged single beds and another desk with a chair.
The house is situated on a fenced plot of one hectare, 125 meters from the lake, which can be reached directly through the gate at the end of the garden.
PS. During the summer season of 13.06-31.08.2025 we welcome children over 10 years of age, and toddlers and toddlers during the rest of the period.
We invite you to the dining room. We will be happy to feed you until you are full, from breakfast to dinner. Our love for Italy is evident in the kitchen, but you can also feel the local influence - Warmia-Masuria. We serve risotto, pastas, bruschette, but also kopytka, Ukrainian dumplings and other flour delicacies - lazy, Silesian with sauces, pancakes, crepes, waffles...
We cook and bake vegetarian, but if we manage to buy good local fish, we will also be happy to prepare it for you.
Breakfasts are served at 9:00 in the form of a buffet, where you will find bread baked by us, something sweet, something egg, local cheeses, vegetables and good coffee with spices.
In the summer season, dinner is served at 6 p.m., and on shorter days, when it's cold outside and your appetite increases, at 5 p.m. :) We prepare a three-course, filling meal consisting of soup, main course and dessert with coffee or tea.
We try to buy the products we use for our meals from local suppliers. We have eggs from Stasiek - our Guardian Angel - Benefactor, cheese from Tereska, honey from Andrzej and Kasia, and organic vegetables from Asia and Tomek. We also started our own vegetable garden and planted cucumbers, zucchini, pumpkins, kale... herbs and rhubarb. We'll see how this cultivation goes.
The kitchen (due to Sanitary Inspectorate regulations) is not available to guests. However, if you feel like making yourself a coffee or tea, there is a table in the comfortable common area, where you can find a kettle with adjustable water temperature, a drip coffee maker, coffee, tea and herbs.
Let yourself be persuaded to mazurotherapy, i.e. slowly and simply. It was for this unhurried aura that we chose this place, not any other. The buffer zone of the Borecka Forest, on the edge of the Piławiecka Switzerland, surrounded by meadows and groves covered by the Natura 2000 program. Because you can not move beyond the plot, and you can go behind the fence and walk for hours in the forests, peat bogs, humps, around lakes. On the way, you will not meet anyone or wild animals that live here permanently. Probably on the other side of the hill deer will be grazing, in the meadow opposite you can stand an elk, there are also deer that organize a rut in autumn and cranes, making themselves known from the first days of spring.
So if from the first minutes of the day you are thinking what would happen today, go to the field. We will encourage you to take Nordic Walking sticks with you, because the area is begging for a decent walk. We use and recommend. follow:
- Lake Krzywa Kuta, one of the cleanest in the area, located in the silence zone. It is only 350 m from us. You can sunbathe, bathe and even sail to the island of Heart Eater. You will get to know this rural legend on the spot.
- For more Masurian legends, follow the gravel road to the Trail of the Devil's Paw - also about 300 meters. There is an erratic boulder here, supposedly used as a sacrificial stone for the Prusai. It was described in one of the many fairy tales of Jadwiga Tressenberg, a teacher from a nearby village. Near the boulder, there is a large sculpture referring to this legend and a plaque with the history and map of the "Masurian Legends Trail". We recommend cycling this trail.
- Lake Gołdopiwo - very clean, transparent, great for swimming and sunbathing. You can rent kayaks and pedal boats. By bike 10 minutes, on foot 24 minutes. Once you are at this lake, check out the Przerwanki Lock on the Sapina River or cross the Lock in a canoe.
- On a gravel road in the village that forms a loop, so it's perfect for morning Nordic Walking with fogs and more. Sometimes you can be surprised and surprised who will emerge from the fog on our way, e.g. a herd of horses. The large loop takes about 1h40 walking, 1h20 at Nordic Walking pace. On the way, you will pass old habitats, Lake Gołdopiwo and Żabinka, and forests. You will walk along the edge of the Borecka Forest.
- To find forest dystrophic lakes located among the trees (walk about 50 minutes) - Biała Kuta, Kacze, Smolak. The lakes are surrounded by dancing peat bogs. The shores are overgrown with mosses and a swamp (a beautiful flowering plant), and the ground bends underfoot. It is a phenomenal place. You can pick cranberries there.
- By bike on the route between Stręgielek and Budry (an old town with a "collapsed" railway line, today the Green Velo bicycle route). There you will reach a hill - a viewpoint where you will be able to rest.
Finally, you can lie on our grassy beach by Dziubek Lake - as the locals call it. It's clean, but there's a lot of seaweed in it. We have SUP boards and inflatables for you so that you can drift freely on the surface. There is no one by the lake except us and a few anglers. It's really quiet here. Might be too quiet for some.
