This house, which is fabulously filled with light for most of the day, is located at an altitude of 920 meters above sea level. We say that it is located in the clouds. You can see the world better from here, you want to experience more and get closer to yourself. The over-a-hundred-year-old wooden cottage was not in the best shape at first. We took care of it with care and now it offers not only a fantastic view of the mountains, but also a kitchen that is conducive to integration and celebrations, an armchair by one of the huge windows for contemplation and immersion in reading, sleeping in three comfortable bedrooms and breakfasts on the terrace. They can be made from local delicacies, which we can organize for you. Getting here can be an adventure, but a reward awaits at the top, so it is worth the effort. And then the road is clear. You can settle down, take baths in the tub and just be together or set off wherever your legs and desire take you. Start by going down to the shelter on Hala Boracza, because there are outstanding blueberry bushes there and the trails separate. We invite you to the slopes of Prusów to discover the trails of the Żywiec Beskids. Here we have great panoramas, empty trails and extremely close contact with nature. The fairy tale lasts here for all four seasons and we ourselves do not know which one we like the most.
We invite you to a more than 100-year-old wooden house located at an altitude of 920 m above sea level. We have diligently renovated it, preserving as much of its old charm as possible.
The house is 180 m² and has a large terrace. Inside there are 3 separate bedrooms (two upstairs, one downstairs), and additional sleeping places are two fold-out sofas (one in the living room, the other in a large space upstairs). The house has two bathrooms on the ground floor (one has a bathtub, the other a shower).
While reading, lying down, cooking, you can stare at the view from the large windows, which changes depending on the time of day, year and weather. We are high in the mountains and even though there are a few houses nearby, you can feel that this is the kingdom of wild animals that come to the house and fly over it.
We are right next to the trail leading to the shelter on Hala Boracza (which is lower), so hiking is within reach. From Hala Boracza (stop at the shelter to taste blueberry buns) through Polana Cukiernica you can go to Hala Redykalna. You can go to Hala Rysianka, Hala Lipowska, Wielka Racza, Zapolanka or Rycerzowa. On September 29, Hala Boracza hosts the autumn redyk, or the roundup of sheep from the pastures. These are also great areas for mountain bikes, and in winter for ski touring.
The cycling route along the Soła River is 17.5 km long and leads from Rajcza through Milówka and Cisiec to Węgierska Górka. Although these are mountain towns, the route is not demanding because it leads through the river valley. There is also a route: Milówka, Rajcza, Rycerka Dolna, Rycerka Górna, Młada Hora, Ujsoły, which is 59 km long. These are two loops that start in Rajcza with sections of varying difficulty. The easier loop is the northern loop through Nieledwie and Milówka (23 km), and the southern loop is more difficult (through Rycerka and Ujsoły, 36 km).

What’s there for employees?
We have LTE about 20 MB/s, Zoom works, Netflix, we have a large table downstairs and a desk upstairs, but it's best to work from bed ;-). If the house is in the clouds, then the internet is a bit worse.
