The health-promoting effects of taking 10,000 steps a day have been talked about for a long time. Such a distance allows you to lower blood pressure, reduce stress, oxygenate and strengthen the body. The good news is this: 6 km, which is about that many steps from us, there is the sea. You can start the day by lazily stretching in the sheets, drinking coffee in a hammock, doing yoga on the terrace or walking on the grass and listening to a bird concert. But then it's hard to sit still, because the surrounding beaches tempt you with velvety sand, the forests flirt with purple berries and red wild strawberries, bicycle routes lead right to the shore, you can kayak to the beach in Dębki, climb the lighthouse, traverse the dunes along the educational path, and Ewa invites you for herring in mayonnaise and the best pancakes on the entire coast. And then, to the delight of the watches monitoring our activity, we have to return to the birch grove and the flowering meadow, to the edge of the Kashubian village where our three houses are located. Each has 3 bedrooms, a sauna in the bathroom and a large terrace in the shade of trees. We have a playground for children, a common terrace in the middle of the plot to initiate summer friendships, a romantic scenery with strings of lights in the evenings and a fenced area, safe for animals.
Pack inflatable rings, mattresses and sleeves, water buckets and sand ice cream molds, bicycles and a dog. To paraphrase the words of a children's song: what color is the water today? You still want to come back… The sea is calling you!
Near the forest, among birches and greenery, there are three wooden houses with a modern shape. We have arranged them so that you can enjoy your privacy.
Each cottage is 102 m² and has 8 sleeping places. On the first floor there are three bedrooms: the main one with two single, connected beds, a sofa bed (for 1 person) and a seating area, and two smaller ones with two single beds (in total, there are 6 single beds in the bedrooms that can be combined into double beds). Additional accommodation is provided by a sofa bed in the living room on the ground floor. We also have travel cots for babies at your disposal.
On the ground floor, where there is underfloor heating, there are: a kitchen with a dining area, a spacious living room with a goat and a bathroom with a shower and an infrared sauna. A terrace with a set of lounge furniture and a grill awaits you in front of it.
The layout of the houses is identical, they differ in style. You can choose from boho, glamor and a house in pastel colors.
In the central part of our plot, we have prepared an additional common terrace for relaxation and integration. We have a playground for children. In the garden, deckchairs and hammocks are waiting for you, and after dark, the mood is created by hanging chains of lamps.
We are a child-loving and dog-loving place. Our area is fenced. We have special storage rooms for prams and bicycles.
We are 6 km away from the beautiful and wild beach in Stilo.
We took care of the kitchens in our cottages. They are equipped with everything you could possibly need for cooking. They have convenient outlets that make it easier to prepare meals. And really a whole set of essential equipment, accessories and devices. We have for you: a toaster, a coffee bean machine, a blender and a mushroom dryer. Right next to the kitchen there is a dining room with a table for eight. It leads directly out onto the terrace, where there is a set of lounge furniture and a gas grill. For breakfast you can order breakfast baskets with local products.
If you have bikes with you, we recommend a trip to the nearby pubs. If not, you can drive around them. The Ewa Zaprasza restaurant is definitely a must-see.
Welcome to Ciekocin, a Kashubian and very picturesque village, where a hundred people live every day. On its outskirts, by the forest and among the birches, we have hidden 3 modern and comfortable houses created for relaxation. Fans of closeness to nature, two-wheeler enthusiasts and enthusiasts of this part of the Polish coast, where the beaches are wide, uncrowded and covered with sand resembling flour, will find something for themselves here.
On our large, green area, where a flower meadow blooms and birches rustle, there are many ways to experience blissful relaxation. We recommend:
- rest on the terrace, from which birches grow,
- a session in the infrared sauna, which is in the bathroom,
- swinging in a hammock,
- grilling,
- a romantic dinner, when at dusk the atmosphere is created by chains of lights hung on the trees.
Beaching
6 km separate our houses from the wide and clean beach in Stilo. You can get there on foot or by bike along a forest road (be sure to take your bikes with you, we have a place to store them). If you go by car, you will still have to walk from the parking lot to the beach (the forest road takes about 15-20 minutes). The beach in Lubiatowo is conveniently accessible by car, the entrance is right next to the parking lot. We have another beach suggestion for you, namely Szklana Huta. We both think that the forest path through Szklana Huta to the beach is the most beautiful in the area, ideal for a walk or bike trip. Szklana Huta, next to Lubiatowo, is the site of a former glassworks, where scouts have been coming for summer camps for years. It is about 2 km from Szklana Huta to the beach in Osieki. The beaches in Słajszewo and Ulini are also worth visiting, where the shallowest shipwreck in Pomerania is located (specifically, you can see two masts sticking out of the sea), the West Star, which ran aground during a storm in 1971.
Stilo Lighthouse
On the way to Stilo Beach, be sure to deviate from the route and visit the lighthouse (open from May 1 to September 30). 133 steps lead to a terrace, from where there is a view of the coast, dunes and lakes, of which there are several in the area.
Dunes
A nature trail with viewing platforms leads through the Lubiatowo dune. You can also visit the beautiful beach in Osieki (entrance no. 36). The Bezimienna River flows out of the forest onto the beach and flows directly into the Baltic Sea, and the entrance is literally covered with wild roses. It is about 6 km from the parking lot to the beach.
Lakes
On Lake Sarbsko and Lake Żarnowieckie you can try your hand at windsurfing and kitesurfing. There is also a lake with gentle descents in the area, which are ideal for children.
Bikes
You can ride a bike along at least part of the route along the Baltic Sea - EuroVelo 10/13 (bike route R10), which starts in Świnoujście, goes through Ustka, Łeba, Puck, Tricity and leads to Elbląg. In addition to this route, you will also have forest paths and numerous routes running along the sea at your disposal. If you do not have the opportunity to take your bikes, you can use the local bike rental.
Mushroom picking
The forests surrounding us are full of blueberries, strawberries and mushrooms in season. To learn more about them, you can go to the Village of Runa Leśnego in Borkowo Lęborski to take part in workshops and go for a walk in the forest to look for mushrooms and forest fruits.
Horses
You can go to the Ciekocinko Stud Farm at Ciekocinko Palace for a horse riding lesson or to Folwark Jackowo, which organizes horseback riding trips to the beach (watching the sunset from the saddle is quite an experience!). You can also have dinner at Ciekocinko Palace. On some Saturdays (it's worth checking in advance) there is a Market for Breakfast, full of regional delicacies with masterful bread baked in the palace kitchen.
Kayaks
Activity lovers can take a kayaking trip down the Piaśnica, which leads to the sea. It starts at the weir on Lake Żarnowieckie, and after a 7-kilometer, gentle crossing, it emerges on the beach in Dębki. The Piaśnica flows on the border of the Piaśnica Łąki floral nature reserve.
And what about the kids? We have for them:
- a playground with swings, a climbing wall, a slide and a sandbox,
- hammocks among the trees - you can hide in them, you can take a nap in them,
- for the little ones - a playhouse,
- a badminton set, a shield, a bow and arrows, balls,
- board games in the houses,
- a trampoline,
- rockers in the relaxation zone.
The area is fenced and safe for exploration. Children can enjoy watching birds and insects. We have installed nesting boxes and insect houses on the trees.
If you need a bathtub, a high chair or a cot, let us know, we will provide them for you.
We have fast fiber-optic Internet here, so if you want to combine your leisure with work, we invite you. You can click at the table in the dining room, from the couch in the living room or go out with your laptop to the terrace.
