Fifteen meters from Lake Hartowieckie there is a cottage. I feel best when it is crowded and noisy. Then it becomes full. It shares with you four bedrooms, a living room with a fireplace, a large dining table and a reading corner. Fill it with the tramp of little feet in the morning, the crackle of the fire, warm laughter, long conversations and meals that may have no end and flow smoothly from one to the next. In warm months, you can take them outside and admire the view of the water surface sparkling in the sun from the terrace. This house was inspired by Scandinavia, the green color of the facade and white door frames gave it character, the wood filled it with fragrance, and the whole was complemented by carefully selected colors, sophisticated accessories and furniture that we gave a second life to. Because here you can really enjoy life. Splash in the water, get muddy in the outdoor children's kitchen, go on a family trip by kayak, SUP or canoe. In the evenings, cuddle up by the fire or soak in a Russian banya. All this here, on Lake Hartowieckie, in the Masurian village of Ostaszewo. You already know the address. Come!
Our wooden house in the Scandinavian style is located in Ostaszewo, in the Masurian countryside. It is open to Lake Hartowieckie and boasts direct access to it.
In a 140-meter wooden, year-round house, located 15 meters from the lake shore, we have prepared a cozy space for 8 people (spread over two floors). You will find in it:
– four bedrooms (three with double beds and one with two single beds),
– living room with a large sofa and fireplace connected to the dining room with a large table and kitchenette,
– two bathrooms with showers (one on the ground floor, the other on the first floor).
In front of the house there is a large, 30-meter terrace with a table, chairs and a view of the lake. You can access it not only through the main door, but also from the bedroom, which is located on the ground floor (the others are on the first floor).
In the house you will also find a travel cot and a cradle for babies.
The plot is 1,000 m² and has direct access to the lake, over which there is a pier and a beach (we share them with the residents of the neighboring house). At your exclusive disposal will be: a Russian pumpkin, a place for a bonfire, a barbecue and water equipment.
The plot is fenced and we accept pets, but please agree on the rules for their stay with us. We also let you know that our house is not alone by the lake and that we have neighbors.
In the spacious kitchen you will find all the necessary equipment: dishwasher, hob, large fridge, microwave, oven, mixer, dishes and coffee maker. The soothing view of the lake is free. Next to the kitchen there is a table for 8 people, the other one is on the terrace. The view from there increases your appetite. We tested it ourselves. In the warm months we only eat outside and we usually spend a lot of time eating. Test it yourself.
We have a proven solution to boredom: just like it! In a house with a large terrace and its surroundings, we have created a space where you can relax, regardless of age. On a large, green plot you will find plenty of space for frolicking, practicing yoga, playing badminton, lying down and having a picnic. Inside the house you will find a fireplace, a large set of board games and a TV that will allow you to catch up on TV series.
We have a beach and a pier (but we share them with a neighboring house), and at your disposal are a canoe, two SUP boards and two double kayaks with an additional place for a child (they are available for you in the price of your stay). Vests in various sizes are also available.
We have prepared a place for a bonfire and a barbecue, as well as a Russian banya where you can warm up and take a bath with a view of the lake.
The area is idyllic and perfect for walks. We are surrounded by fields, meadows, pastures with brown cows and forests. There is a place to run and walk. The forest is less than 100 meters away, and a little further there is the Piekiełko nature reserve, located in the Welski Landscape Park. There you will see the gorge of the Wel River, which in this section has the character of a rushing mountain river, surrounded by protected vegetation. Bird lovers can look out for mountain wagtails and water lizards during their walk. Also noteworthy is the Wel River, which you can sail down.
What’s there for children?
Children like the idyllic atmosphere of a holiday at grandma's. In summer you can run in the fields and pick wild flowers in the meadows. You can also look for frogs in the grass and go fishing.
For the youngest we have a mud kitchen with accessories, a swing rope, a wooden tipi tent and chalk boards, board games and outdoor games. In the garden there are insect houses, birdhouses and a table for squirrels where children can throw peanuts. With a bit of luck, you will meet Renata, who comes to us for lunch. You will find a supply of her nutty treats at the entrance to the house.
The entrance to the water is gentle, the beach will be a lot of fun for kids. Just like family canoe trips, which can easily accommodate two adults and two or even three children. In the evenings, we encourage you to light a bonfire, where the kids can gather firewood, and admire the stars.
What’s there for employees?
If you want to work from here, nothing can stop you! You can sit at a large table on the ground floor or on the terrace. The internet works flawlessly.
