JELONKOWO – DOMEK

We are opening the door to a new house in our habitat. Your relaxation will be enhanced by the terrace with a beautiful and unobstructed view of the Muńcoł panorama, as well as the singing of birds and deer behind the fence. You will receive the keys along with a fresh breath of mountain nature. The house has an area of 37 m² and interiors in the colors of nature: green forests, brown trees, but also meadows full of colorful flowers. The ground floor is a living space with a bathroom, a living room with a kitchenette, and access to the terrace with a beautiful view of the meadow, forest and mountains. In the attic there is a bedroom with a double bed and a bedroom with two single beds. We filled the interior with delicacies that refer to old life in the countryside and the long history of our mountain habitat. We hope that in the house you will feel the atmosphere of an old shed in a comfortable version. We don't like waste and luxury. For construction, we used boards recovered from the original local shed, and the interior contains refreshed furniture and lighting from the times of the Polish People's Republic, and even parts of crumbling antiques. There are also countertops, shelves and even lamps made from pieces of old trees. We sourced most of the new materials locally, and many interior elements were handmade by a highland carpenter. We have tried to create atmospheric lighting so that you can spend time with pleasure, playing board games with your family, reading in peace and quiet or having a romantic dinner for two. In the garden of the habitat there is a barbecue shelter and a place for a bonfire, and behind the fence there are 3 hectares of meadows. Cells have LTE coverage and everyone will find a corner to work. The house is centrally heated, so you will be warm and cozy.

We do not offer meals (apart from freshly baked homemade sourdough bread), but before your arrival you can order delicious home-made and local products that will be waiting for you. The dishes are prepared from the heart by local housewives. IMPORTANT! Place food orders at least 5 days before arrival. If you have not placed an order, you will still have the opportunity to order the set of the day. Of course, you can also cook, because the house has a kitchenette at your disposal, including: a fridge, a microwave, a dishwasher, an induction hob with two burners, a coffee maker and the necessary kitchen accessories. In the mountain clearing there is also a place for a bonfire and a barbecue shelter.

When it comes to dining near Jelonkowo, we recommend: – Gościniec Smrekowa Chata – right under "our" mountain, 25 minutes' walk or a quick car ride, – Colinka restaurant at the border crossing in Glinka with traditional Slovak dishes and more. A shepherd's hut on Hala Królowej (7 km from us) with incredibly delicious oscypek cheese. Baca sells from May to October. He then drives 500 sheep from Zakopane here for the summer season. Unforgettable views in a package with oscypek cheese. However, all year round, for delicious local cheeses, go to the Cheese Land in Rajcza or take a walk to the landlady towards Wielki Smerekowo. In Ujsoły, on Friday mornings, there is a local market where you can buy good products, and on Thursdays, Delikatesy Centrum delivers real meats from local producers.

Our habitat is located on the yellow trail to Wielka Rycerzowa and on the other side to Krawce Wierch. There are shelters at both peaks with delicious food and beautiful views. For mountain hikers, we have kilometers of hiking and cycling trails. We provide maps and advice on site. Winter can treat us to a lot of snow, so in addition to building an igloo, having a snowball fight, sledding behind the fence, you can grab a shovel and dig up the house as part of some outdoor exercise. You can go ski touring just outside the fence, and if you don't have your own equipment, you can rent it near us in Rajcza. If you don't ski, we have snowshoes for you. Autumn is full of mushrooms and the phenomenal calls of deer in the rut. It often looks like this: "Honey, I'm going to the larch for a moment to see if there are butterflies" and you come back with 4 kilograms of mushrooms. In August, Ujsoły hosts Wawrzyńcowe Hudy - a celebration of the highlanders from Ujsoły (it is part of the Beskid Culture Week), when there is a festival of folk bands from all over the world over the weekend, and the culmination is the evening burning of a 20-meter-high wooden tower. An important ritual in the highlander culture is the spring custom and the autumn redyk. Sheep with shepherds go all the way from the Tatra Mountains in search of green grass. In June every year, a shepherd's custom takes place in Soblówka, i.e. a drive of sheep to the village and an accompanying event. In autumn, there is a holiday in Soblówka, i.e. redyk, a farewell to the shepherd before returning with the flock of sheep to Tarty for the winter. Every year, Baca drives a herd of 500 sheep through the mountains from Zakopane to Soblówka and back. Not far from us, in Soblówka, there is a shepherd's hut where Baca works while grazing sheep. You can buy delicious, fresh and not cheated cheeses there. We recommend it wholeheartedly.
