At a glance


Don't be surprised if your navigation system leads you into the forest. The final stretch of the road to us leads along a picturesque track. After all, this is the former forester's lodge of the Mrągowo Forest District. For years, the forester lived there, and recently we have taken up residence. It took us three years to renovate the barn and the first floor of the forester's house, furnishing the buildings with atmospheric furniture, and furnishing them to create an elegant atmosphere. In addition to comfortable sleeping and shared breakfasts on the terrace, we add the tranquility of Masuria, a lake beyond the forest, and instead of neighbors, berries and mushrooms right under your nose.

The barn is a space for groups (max. 14 people) for family and friends vacations, workshops, yoga retreats, work-outs, and team-building activities. The first floor of the forester's house is a more intimate attic, accommodating seven people. So, you can gather a smaller team and stay in the house, or organize a lively gathering in the forester's barn. Regardless of your choice, we can assure you that you'll find plenty of privacy. There are plenty of places to retreat to and even sit together. Plus, there's the cleanest Lake Piłakno, a stand-up paddleboard, herbs in the garden, wonderful tap water for drinking, and a neighboring agritourism farm serving home-cooked meals.

Sometimes we are on-site, sometimes we're not

Being a ruiner gives a lot of satisfaction. But you definitely have to love it. We fell in love with a forester's lodge in the middle of the Masurian forests, in a small clearing, five minutes from the lake, and we rolled up our sleeves. The renovation of two buildings took 3 years. We didn't use an architect's help, we acted according to our intuition and taste. That's why almost every piece of furniture carries a story. There is a kitchen counter and lamps from a pet shop that didn't survive the test of time, beautiful furniture from a collector's house - which was turned into a kindergarten, beautiful wooden chairs from a boutique hotel in Sopot. But there is also furniture from the Hilton Hotel in Gdańsk and glass works by the famous Sopot studio "Barańska Design", as well as items from the liquidated CEPELII Store from Gdynia. There is also a cleaned, beautiful, brick and stone wall of a barn and there are 2 old original lamps that gave light to this place before we showed up there.

Przepiękne miejsce, 15 minut spacerem od jeziora. Prywatny pomost. Najczystsze jezioro jakie widziałam. Bezpłatny dostęp do łódki, supa, dmuchanych materacy, siatki do badmintona. Poddasze leśniczówki i stodoła wyremontowane z ogromną starannością, miłością i widocznym na każdym kroku zaangażowaniem właścicieli. Właściciele zawsze dostępni, przemili i dzielący się wiedzą w zakresie okolicznych atr...

Polecamy z czystym sumieniem Leśniczówkę, cisza, spokój, lasy pełne grzybów, jagód i innych darów wokół. Gospodyni Pani Ewa skarbnica wiedzy o okolicy i nie tylko, bardzo dba o swoich gości, niezwykle miła osoba.

Piękne miejsce z klimatem. W okół tylko zieleń, cisza przerywana śpiewem ptaków , masa motyli i w naszym okresie malutkich żabek skaczących po trawniku. Za sąsiadów las z grzybami i jagodami. A jednocześnie blisko do jeziora, restauracji z domowym i sezonowym jedzeniem ( pierogi z jagodami - mistrzostwo ) i do sklepu ( potrzebny samochód ). Jezioro Pilakno przepiękne i niesamowicie czyste. W stodo...

Jeżeli lubicie ciszę, spokój, odpoczynek nad wodą z dala od gwaru, zbieranie grzybów, chodzenie po lesie, jeżdżenie rowerem czy spływ kajakiem po bajecznie czystej wodzie to dobrze trafiliście. Wszystko to i znacznie więcej znajdziecie w Leśniczówce Piłakno ukrytej w lesie, oddalonej od cywilizacji, ale z niezłym dojazdem przez las po asfalcie. Piętro leśniczówki to 2 duże pokoje na piętrze, łazi...

Miejsce jest piękne, spokojne, jest dużo udogodnień. Właścicielka bardzo miła, pomocna, gościnna. Super miejsce również jako baza wypadowa do pobliskich atrakcji. My byliśmy z 2 dzieci i psem i nawet mimo, że pogoda nie do końca dopisała, to było co robić. Bardzo polecamy:)
