We named this house bëlny, which means wonderful in Kashubian. It is also sunny and hospitable, it is conducive to family and friendly meetings, it opens its doors to dogs of all sizes, it likes life to go on in it, bare feet step on the wooden parquet, feasts are held on the terrace, and blissful dreams are dreamed in each of the three bedrooms. I was enchanted by its beauty when I saw it in the photos. And at the first meeting I knew immediately that this was the house we had been looking for so long. Although it stands in the intimate company of several other houses, mainly summer houses, it is squeezed into the forest that is part of the Wdzydzki Landscape Park and you don't feel the neighborhood here. Only the natural one. From the spacious terrace you can see a wall of trees, it is also quite green outside the windows of the glass-covered living room. Inside and outside you will find plenty of places to relax, four fireplaces that bring warmth and atmosphere, a bathtub in one of the two bathrooms and harmonious colours of furniture, decorations and accessories. Paintings by Stanisław Koguciuk hang on the walls, because collecting Polish folk art is my passion. As well as exploring Kashubian secrets, which I encourage you to do. In the summer you spend time here in the garden and in a few moments you reach the lake, but the real magic of this place comes true in the autumn and winter. You can hide away here, warm your senses and enjoy yourself. Drop by with a nice team for peace, grounding and seclusion.
In Kashubian, Bëlny means wonderful. That was our first impression when we saw the house and the surrounding area.
Bëlny is located along the forest line in Przytarnia, in the Wdzydze Landscape Park, in the southern part of Kashubia. It is surrounded by trees, meadows and lakes.
The house is spacious, finished with wood, heated with fireplaces, has three bedrooms, two bathrooms (one with a shower and the other with a bathtub), a living room, a terrace overlooking the forest, a sauna and plenty of space to relax. Each bedroom has a large double bed and one also has two single beds. Bëlny is located in the intimate vicinity of several houses.
The nearest beach on Lake Wdzydze is a few minutes' walk away. The house has internet, towels, bed linen, a washing machine, a dishwasher, an oven, garden loungers, a barbecue, the area around the house is fenced, the beach is close, the forest is all around, dogs are welcome.
Food on your own. In the summer season, there is a small but well-stocked shop at the crossroads in Przytarnia, where delicious, locally baked bread and cakes are available in the summer season.
In the vicinity you can buy delicious goat cheeses and country eggs.
There are also larger grocery stores in Wiele and Karsin. We recommend buying local smoked fish and honey.
In Brusy, at the Kłos shop, there is always a queue for bread - they sell still warm locally baked loaves. The house has a fully equipped kitchen and a large table for 8 people.
For dinner, we recommend "Pod Gruszą" in Wiele, Jasnochówka or Karczma Largo in Borsk or Drewutnia in Olpuch (out of season it is worth calling and making sure they are open).
On foot, you can go to the beach, to the forest or to buy cheese at the "Kaszubska Koza" farm.
By bike, you can travel along the "Pętla Przytarnia" route.

Kaszëbsczi jãzëk – a stay in Kashubia is an ideal opportunity to familiarize yourself with or deepen your knowledge of this region, its history, culture, local people and language. You have to do a bit of searching to hear the Kashubian language, but where there’s a will, there’s a way. We like such challenges.
What’s there for children?
On foot – in addition to the intimate beach and the forest by the house, there are two playgrounds in Przytarnia, and in Robaczkowo, at the "Kaszubska Koza" farm, you can feed the goats with bread (it is worth calling before your visit and making sure that the goats are at home and not in the pasture). In Przytarnia, you can also climb a 40-meter observation tower.
By car:
