Among the rolling hills of the Silesian Beskids, close to the border with the Czech Republic and Slovakia, in the largest village forming Beskidzka Trójwieś, we built two wooden outdoor houses. We specialize here in the art of relaxation. To help you reach an expert level, we have prepared terraces with exquisite mountain views and hot tubs on them. And we filled the interiors with designs that are pleasing to the eyes and regenerating for the senses. The area favors active recreation. It encourages you to walk along forest paths along the Olza River, climb Ochodzita for the best views and go from the Kubalonka Pass towards the Stożek and Czantoria or Babia Góra ranges. We are located on the Tripoint, i.e. the place where the borders of three countries meet, so you can also go to the Czech Republic or Slovakia. Since settlers appeared on the southern slopes of Złote Groń in the 16th century, a lot has happened here. The smelting industry developed, bog ore was mined, then the focus was on the health resort values of Istebna and a sanatorium was built. Today, a network of cross-country and bicycle trails is developing here, and there are two thriving ski resorts. Istebna is not aloof, it is alive and intense, providing a wealth of entertainment, but its resources of peace and quiet are not exhausted. You can also experience them here. So, see you outdoors?
We invite you to two wooden houses in Istebna. Each has 69 m² of interior space and a 40-meter terrace with a hot tub with a jacuzzi and a view of the mountain panorama. We filled their eye-pleasing interiors with natural materials and design.
On the ground floor there is a living room with a sofa bed connected to a kitchenette and dining space, and a spacious bathroom with a washing machine and a shower. The second bathroom with a shower is on the first floor.
Each cottage has two bedrooms upstairs. One with a double bed and a fold-out sofa, the other with two single beds (which can be pushed together or apart) and a single couch. You can also sleep on the fold-out sofa in the living room. If you come with children, we also have travel cots.
We also took care of a work corner in one bedroom upstairs, as well as a ski room and a bicycle room in the utility room.
You can come to Terracotta with a small or medium-sized dog (the area is not fenced), but we invite you to Kamień without pets.
Well-equipped kitchens (with long countertops, a dishwasher and a large table next to it) will be perfect for preparing breakfasts, exquisite dinners and culinary experiments. Upon request (and for an additional fee), we can prepare baskets with local products for you (consisting of delicious bread, cheese, eggs, cold meats and vegetables).
We welcome you to Istebna, near the border with the Czech Republic and Slovakia. Our village, together with Jaworzynka and Koniaków, forms the so-called Beskidzka Trójwieś.
For the best views, go to Ochodzita in Koniaków (from there you can admire the Tatra Mountains, the peak of Wielki Chocz and the highest peaks of Mała Fatra), Złoty Groń, Koczy Zamek, Przełęcz Kubalonka or Stecówka. From Stecowka, you can follow the red trail to the Przysłopie Shelter, and from there you can go to Barania Góra with the observation tower. You can also go for a walk to the artificial Olza reservoir, walk along the Olza River or go through Czerchla and Bystre towards the border. The Kubalonka Pass is 10 minutes away from us. It separates the Stożek and Czantoria ranges from the Barania Góra range and connects the Vistula with Istebna at an altitude of over 760 m above sea level. From there you can hit the trails.
Cyclists will be happy to know that there is an electric bike rental right next door, as well as enduro routes and the Złoty Groń bike park (4 different bicycle routes with a total length of over 4.5 km).
You can go cross-country skiing, ski touring or classic downhill skiing here. We are close to the Złoty Groń ski station and the Zagroń Istebna complex. A Nordic walking park has been opened in Bukowiec, with 3 routes available, starting from the Kempaland resort. And Kubalonka is the second cross-country skiing center in Poland after Jakuszyce (routes available are 2.5 km, 3 km, 5 km and 7.5 km).
