There is a place in Masuria where horses and cows reign supreme. They have hundreds of hectares of pastures to graze and romp around, rivers to wade in and lakes to swim in. And next to them are us - silent observers and admirers. We live here in Gałkowo in symbiosis with fauna and flora, far from shopping malls, cinemas, museums, concerts. We have other attractions. Krutynia for kayaking, lakes for swimming, beaches for sunbathing, forests for mushroom picking. In addition, for dinner we walk to the "Potocki" restaurant, located in a beautiful wooden manor house, and right next door, in the Ferenstein stud farm, we watch horse competitions, look into the stalls and stroke the horses' noses, and then we walk to the old Evangelical cemetery, hidden in the forest.
When we don't feel like going anywhere, we stay at our Przystanek. At the end of the village, in our meadow with two houses. The smaller one - for seven people and the larger one for twelve, will allow you to sleep comfortably, sunbathe in the garden and take a nap in a hammock. We will be happy to share with you our silence, the smell of autumn, the sky full of stars, Masuria. Stop at our stop, we invite you.
We have two houses on our meadow - a larger Guest House and a smaller Prairie House. They are placed on the plot so that they do not look into each other's windows and have plenty of air between the buildings. On our premises there are also hammocks, a wooden swing and a place for a bonfire.
The Guest House has 4 bedrooms (bed layout 2, 1+1, 2+1, 2+1), 2 bathrooms with showers, a fully equipped kitchen, a living room and a large covered terrace. Here we can comfortably accommodate 10 people in the bedrooms and 2 on the sofa in the living room.
The Prairie House has 2 bedrooms with 5 sleeping places (bed layout 2, 2+1), a living room with a fold-out 2-person sofa, a kitchenette and a bathroom with a shower and a terrace.

A few kilometres from Gałkowo, in the small town of Pranie, is one of the most famous forester's lodges in the history of Polish literature. It was here, in the years 1950-53, that Konstanty Ildefons Gałczyński came to visit and it was here that such works as "Kronika Olsztyńska", "Wit Stwosz" were created. and "Niobe".
