This is the story of our end of the world. We found it in Rycerka, in the Rycerski Potok valley, not far from the border with Slovakia. And we knew from the very first moment that we would transform the old house into one filled with warmth and coziness, and we would also take care of all the components of deep relaxation, with closeness to nature at the forefront. Our village used to be called Radeczka. Beskid robbers roamed here, and Count Ludwik De Laveaux, fascinated by the local folk culture, not only bought the village but also described it in his work "Bieskid Highlanders of the Western Carpathian Range". We are not surprised at all, because even the names of the hills here stimulate the imagination. There are Praszywka, Bendoszka and Przegibek, among others. Rycerka Górna consists of 61 scattered parts, scattered at the foot and on the slopes of the mountains. You will look at some of them from two terraces, a jacuzzi and a sauna of a comfortable house with 3 bedrooms. And from its threshold you will set off straight onto the trails. After returning, you will listen to music from vinyl, warm yourself by the fireplace and play more than one game of board games. And maybe you will also think that it would be nice to come back here?
In Rycerka Górna, at the end of the world, we've created our dream home. Our 200 m² house offers plenty of space for families and friends.
Inside, you'll find three bedrooms with ensuite bathrooms, two mezzanines, a large common area (a living room with a kitchen and dining area), and outside, two terraces with a jacuzzi. We also have a sauna for you. All bedrooms are located upstairs. Two fold-out sofas in the living room provide additional sleeping space.
We've carefully crafted wooden parquet floors, large windows with mountain views, linen blackout blinds, and incredibly comfortable mattresses.
At your disposal, we have a spacious meadow, perfect for relaxation, picnics, and outdoor activities.
Please note!
For stays according to the standard price list, the price depends on the number of guests. For reservations for fewer than 8 people, the number of available bedrooms depends on the number of guests. All bedrooms are available for reservations of 8 or more people. The provision of an additional bedroom upon request may incur an additional cost, subject to prior arrangement with the Host.
You can buy farm milk, eggs, cheeses, and local honey nearby.
Perhaps you'd like some homemade broth or cake?
For those interested, we can prepare broth made from farm chanterelles and homemade cake for an additional fee.
A nearby restaurant with a beautiful view is located in Zwardoń, "Karczma Swojskie Klimaty."
The Ochodzita Inn is also worth a visit. While you're there, a hike to the top of the mountain of the same name is a must. It's literally a 5-minute walk from the inn, and the views are spectacular.
This is a place woven from our dreams. Located in a picturesque mountain village, immersed in nature. And steeped in history, as we've breathed new life into the old house. Today, it enchants with comfort, pampering you with a fireplace in the living room, a dry sauna overlooking the garden and mountains, and two terraces with a jacuzzi. Inside, board games and a mini library await you.
The surroundings of the Żywiec Landscape Park and the Śrubita Nature Reserve will appeal to even the most discerning travelers. Even the hottest days will be endured by splashing in the cool, clear rivers in Rycerka. You can hit the trails right from the house and climb Przegibek, Bendoszka Wielka, Przysłop Potócki, Rycerzowa, Wielka Racza, and Młada Hora. It's not far from here to the rocky peak of the Mała Fatra Mountains, the scenic Rysianka meadow, the Pilsko peak, Barania Góra, Skrzyczne, and Babia Góra.
Cyclists will be pleased to know that Velo Sola, a nearly 40-kilometer cycling route along the Sola River, runs close by (due to the slight elevation changes, it's ideal for family trips).
If you're looking to venture abroad, there's a Tourist Border Crossing in Rycerka. You can enjoy Slovak dumplings and return to Samotnia for dinner. If Slovakia isn't on your radar, head to Żywiec (with its beautiful park, castle, and historic brewery), Zwardoń (the fantastic Zwardoń-Ski ski slope), or the Geo Park in Glinka. At Lake Żywieckie, you can rent a sailboat, kayak, stand-up paddleboard, or pedal boat.
In Sol, near Rajcza, you can take advantage of the excellent facilities of the graduation tower in the Salt Land. You can take a beautiful, scenic shortcut from Rycerka Górna to the graduation tower via a mountain shortcut.
The nearest ski resorts are: Rycerka Dolna, Rajcza, Zwardoń Ski, Złoty Groń Istebna, the Zagroń Istebna Complex, and the Olza Water Park.

Our meadow works well as a field for team games. On hot days, you can quickly cool down in the stream.
The package includes a Starlink, a comfortable desk, and a chair. You can work from there.
