Do you remember how you could cuddle up at your grandma's house and feel the warmth of the tiled stove? Our house is renovated, but in such a way that these flavors remain. We invite you to a former forester's lodge located in the middle of the forest. We know that many hosts say that their houses are in the forest. Ours is so far in the forest that it can't get any further. From the nearest village, which is the most vibrant manifestation of civilization in the area, you drive 5 km along a gravel road. We leave the renovated house for 6 people to you exclusively, with a guarantee that you will rest here like nowhere else.
PS I don't know how to take photos, so you have to take my word that it's much more beautiful here than in them. And although the stove wins the hearts of guests, we only use it in the autumn and winter season when necessary. Please remember this.
The house in a forest habitat can accommodate up to 6 people. It has 3 rooms with double beds, a living room with a sofa and table, a bathroom with a shower, a kitchen and a porch. It has a cozy, original atmosphere. You can rely on neatness and cleanliness, which is very important to us.
On a fenced plot with an area of 2,000 m² there are former farm buildings, which we do not use at the moment. This entire space will be at your disposal.
We are located in a hamlet in the middle of the forest. Our mini forest village is very intimate. The hamlet is called Głuszyca for a reason. The place is isolated, quiet, absolutely peaceful. You may hear the sounds of the forest and the clucking of your neighbor's chickens or the barking of her dog.
Due to the fact that I run a beauty salon, for groups of min. I can organize a massage or facial treatment session for 4 people. This is a good idea for an intimate hen party or a team-building trip with girls. However, please remain silent. Our neighbors go to bed at dusk.
Stock up on groceries along the way and cook whatever you like in the atmospheric kitchen. Here, in the middle of the forest, you will rely on each other for meals. What possibilities do you have for this! Heating something on the tiled stove? Flatbreads like when you were a kid at grandma's? In autumn, you can collect mushrooms behind the fence - in September, the forest is full of boletus mushrooms, and in October, boletus mushrooms - and dry them using a special rack in the kitchen.
We hunted this tasty flatbread, which you see in the photo above, during the Knight's Tournament in Kożuchów, which always takes place at the end of May.
Let's be honest: this is the house at the end of the world. Guests make big eyes when we greet them :-) There are two neighbors' houses nearby, with whom you can exchange a kind word, and apart from that it will be just you and the forest.
The forest garden has an area of 2,000 m² and in each of these meters you can forget about the whole world. We mow the grass rarely, so you will probably be greeted by a meadow where you can put your bare feet out in the morning, hungry for the touch of dew. You can eat breakfast or grilled dinners at a wooden table with benches, and read a book on a deckchair under a tree.
We also have a summer kitchen made of red brick with a grill, a mushroom drying room and a fireplace for a cauldron.
Behind the house there is a gate leading directly to the forest, and in this forest you will probably meet absolutely no one. The forests around vary: from mixed to pine forests with low undergrowth and berry bushes. In autumn, the area is rich in mushrooms.
In the area (the nearest 12 km by bike) there are three lakes: Orchowe, Rudzieńskie and Sławskie. There is a peat bog reserve around Orchowe, so you go there to admire them, but on Rudzieńskie you can find a swimming area and a pier. Near Rudno there is an old German cemetery in the forest, which you can also visit. Lake Sławskie, the largest of them, is a slightly more touristic location. It is the largest lake in Lubuskie Province. Go to the "Ptasi Raj" viewing point with a pier and the Joanna observation tower.
5 km from here there is an extraordinary bicycle route "Railway for a bicycle", created... on the no longer operational railway line No. 371 between Żagań and Wolsztyn. The path consists of two sections: from Stypułów to Nowa Sól and the second from Nowa Sól to Sławocin. Its total length is almost 50 km. One of its most beautiful sections is the crossing of the Odra River on a historic railway bridge from 1908. It was once the longest railway bridge in Europe!
You can go on a tour around the nearby historic towns. In the atmospheric Kożuchów, surrounded by a moat, it is as if time had stood still. There you will see a castle from the 14th century, a charming old town and many beautiful historical buildings, e.g. a historic hospital. A trip to Nowa Sól (on the bicycle route) will be equally atmospheric. Also check out the ruins of the palace in Zatoń, which are open to visitors, and the Palace in Bojadła.
Or maybe a trip to Zielona Góra? You can visit the colorful old town, the charming Zatonie Prince's Park with the ruins of the palace or the Kepler Science Center with a planetarium (one of three in the world where the position of the dome changes during the projection!). Did you know that there are several vineyards in this city and surrounding area? That you can visit historic wine cellars and see a winery house from 1818? For enotourism enthusiasts, Zielona Góra is a must-see.
Since I run a beauty salon, I can also offer you additional pleasures that require travel: a small SPA on call. You just need to let us know in advance that you would be interested in such a service (it is available for groups of at least 4 people). Then we pack up with the team and come to you with massage beds (and our magical hands). We can perform full body massages or facial treatments: nourishing, moisturizing, reflexology, Kobido or Japanese massage).
If you are interested in horse riding, the stud farm in Konotopa is 5 km away.
What’s there for children?
If you want to teach your children to distinguish mushrooms and the singing of a wagtail from a blackbird and show them what it is like to live in the forest for some time, take them on holiday to us. For the time being, you can change the house into a forester's lodge and pretend to be a family of gamekeepers. Take your wellies with you for long walks on damp litter and berry baskets!
What’s there for employees?
Our internet is in no hurry, so we wouldn't expect to break productivity records here. You can check your email, you can stay in touch with your boss, but that's it. However, we are working on the topic. We will try to strengthen our network connection soon. Our GSM range is sufficient - you can get it on the road or under an apple tree, so you can't count on talking on the phone. You can also watch the movie on Netflix.
