Hey, Hańczowa! It's good to see you with a fog-shrouded, endless meadow in the morning, storks wading in the grass and children running around screaming with joy. Here, at your place, it is good to walk to the stream to soak your feet in cool water, come back to pick wild flowers and sit with them on the terrace with a cup of tea. It is good to light a fire and throw potatoes into it, use the sauna in the bedroom, and in the evenings, gaze at the stars from the mezzanine bed and warm up in the warmth of the fireplace. It's good to stay together, admire the simplicity, eat a tasty breakfast next door and go to the mountains. Here we have a land of children's happiness, barefoot running, unrestrained creativity and dirty faces. Enjoying the moments and throwing parties just because you can. In the stay package, we provide carefree care for the youngest, peace for parents, and everyone with one of the most beautiful views of the Low Beskid Mountains. You will have it only for yourself. A cozy cottage that will accommodate four people, but six will also be comfortable there, and an endless glade are waiting.
Polanka is a wooden cottage on a 1.5-hectare meadow, located among mountains and valleys. She stands in a clearing, surrounded by nature, shrouded in morning mists and illuminated by the starry sky at night. Away from the noise, away from other huts.
In the 50-meter interior you will find:
– living room with large windows overlooking the valley and mountains, a wood stove, a table for four and a fold-out sofa,
– a bedroom with a double bed, a bathroom with a shower and a 4-person Finnish sauna,
– well-equipped kitchenette,
– mezzanine with a double mattress and a view of the stars,
– bathroom with shower.
In front of the house there is a terrace with comfortable armchairs, offering the most beautiful view of the mountains in the Low Beskids. There is an agritourism farm called Hańczowa28 close to us, with which we are friends. There are no other buildings in the clearing, looking from the windows of the house, you get the impression that you are completely alone here.
The kitchenette is not huge, but it is well-equipped, and we leave you with various additions, accessories and dishes so that you can work magic in the kitchen. And if you don't like cooking, you can eat delicious and varied breakfasts next door, in Hańczowa28. Let us know if you are interested in this option.
In Hańczowa, on the outskirts of the village, we have an almost endless meadow with storks walking around and an amazing view of the valleys and hills of the Hańczów Mountains. We are located in the western part of the Low Beskids, in the valley of the Ropka stream, in a land of peace and gentleness, where you can catch your breath and disappear for a moment among the morning mists. In a house created with love, you can relax surrounded by nature that looks through the windows, meets you on the terrace and invites you for walks in the meadow, forests and mountain trails, as well as bicycle and horse riding rallies. A cozy cottage will give you shelter, the warmth of a fireplace and a sauna, a fold-out screen for movie screenings and a place for a bonfire in a clearing, and if you want, it will be a great base for places worth visiting in the area.
There is a Hutsul horse stud in Regietów. If you want to try your hand at riding, you can sign up for horse riding. In winter, be sure to try the Hutsul sleigh ride.
You can go to Zalew Klimkowski. It is a very clean reservoir located between the surrounding mountains. There is a beach where you can lie down with a blanket and rent kayaks, rowing boats and a windsurfing school.
In the winter season, we recommend Smerkowiec or Magura Małastowska and numerous cross-country trails for skiing. There is a popular cross-country skiing center in Krzywa.
You can go to Bieliczna. It is a deserted village in the Biała River valley, where there is a historic Orthodox church. Bieliczna is located at the foot of the northern slopes of Lackowa, so you can immediately go to the mountains.
As for Lackowa, she is the queen of the Low Beskids. You may have heard about the shortest trail leading to it, which is called the "wailing wall" (it is the steepest approach in the Beskids). It leads to the top of the mountain from the village of Izba.
From Wysowa-Zdrój you can climb Kozie Żebro (the loop is 6 km long and takes about 3 hours) or go to the highest peak of the Low Beskids on the Slovak side - Busov. Wysowa-Zdrój itself is also worth visiting. There is a Spa Park and a mineral water pump room there.
To relax and take a walk in search of traces of the Lemkos, you can go to Ropki. Visit the Lemko cemetery, see roadside crosses and chapels, an Orthodox church (in 1978 the church was moved to the Museum of Folk Architecture in Sanok, where after 20 years it was reassembled and the iconostasis and polychrome were recreated), the ruins of the farm buildings belonging to the Breeding Technical School, and a small lake on the Ropka stream, where you can sometimes see a gray heron.
For further trips, you can go to the health resorts of Krynica, Wysowa and Bardejov in Slovakia. Bardejovské Kúpele is one of the oldest spa towns in the world. The first mention of the sources there comes from 1247.
What’s there for children?
Children run barefoot in the meadow here, and carefreeness becomes their everyday life. Our area is huge, green and child-friendly. The playground is first-class and we can bet that you won't find one like it anywhere else. We have a zip line, a slide, a mountain of sand under the sail and swings, and in summer there may also be a swimming pool. You can run as much as you want, watch cows and storks, roast potatoes on a fire, go to a river ideal for wading, or drive to the Klimkówka Reservoir.
We can organize artistic (art, painting) or cooking workshops for children. We need to know about the need in advance, and then we will offer something cool and tailored to the age of your children.

– for horse riding lessons on Hutsul horses in Regietów or for workshops on these animals organized there,
– to the rope park in Krynica,
– also to Krynica to take the cable car to Jaworzyna,
– to the water park in Wysowa-Zdrój,
