We welcome you to the Biłgoraj region, on the Czarna Łada river, surrounded by the Solska Forest. The local forests are famous for their wilderness, inhabited by wolves, lynxes, beavers, otters, pond turtles and several species of bats. Brodziaki is located in such natural circumstances. The name of our village comes from the fords on the Łada River, i.e. shallow sections of the riverbed with a hard surface and calm current, which allow you to cross to the other bank. Opposite the chapel commemorating the January Uprising, we have a charming wooden cottage for you. It's already a hundred years old, and my husband Wiesiek, who was born there, knows every board here. A few years ago, he carefully and heartily breathed new life into it. There is a cottage atmosphere here, although we also have a hot tub with bubbles and a shelter by the river where you can light a bonfire. In autumn, the house becomes overgrown with vines, and the surrounding forests are filled with brown hats. Spring blooms with lilacs and tulips, in summer the poppies turn red in the meadows, and the reddest tomatoes grow in the home garden. We will be happy to serve them to you. We will also share home-made eggs, homemade pizza, warm buns and tell you where to go to get to know Roztocze better.
If you feel that the atmosphere of a wooden cottage is something for you, we invite you to Brodziaki!
We invite you to Brodziaki. To a hundred-hundred-dollar wooden cottage, renovated by our father's hands. A group of 8 people will be comfortable in the 100-meter interior.
On the ground floor of the cottage there are:
– living room with an old tiled stove, two fold-out sofas, a large table and a TV,
– bedroom with a double bed,
– bathroom with shower and washing machine.
In the attic there are:
– bedroom with four single beds,
– bedroom with a double bed and desk,
- bathroom with shower.
In front of the house you will find a covered terrace with a large wooden table and a flower garden. In the yard there are: a sandbox, a trampoline, a swing, a barbecue and bonfire area, and a separate corner with a hot tub. Next to the house there are old buildings - a cowshed and a barn.
IMPORTANT: The cottage shares a yard with the house where our 90-year-old grandmother and her son live. We took care of your privacy by separating both buildings with a high wooden partition.
You feed yourself, but we help. In the cottage you will find some goodness - a shelf with homemade preserves that you can enjoy. We will treat you to homemade cake, and maybe also pizza, which Wiesiek specializes in. In the summer season, we will share with you the harvest from our plot and fresh eggs. If you want, we will provide you with honey from our uncle's organic apiary.
Here, in Brodziaki, there is an atmosphere that takes you back in time and an atmosphere that is conducive to relaxation. Our patch of the Biłgoraj region is blooming with hollyhocks and poppies, it smells of home-made cakes and freshly baked bread, storks are flying overhead, crickets are chirping in the grass. We have a covered veranda for sitting, a swing, a hammock and a space for playing volleyball or badminton. Total relaxation will be provided by a hot tub with bubbles (for PLN 250 per day).
You will have a lot to discover in the area. Chałupka is an ideal base for getting to know Roztocze.
