In a clearing by the forest, on the outskirts of the village, surrounded by trees of Magura Małastowska, we created a place for ourselves to live and practice hospitality. In the fork of three streams, a habitat was created – special, because it was saturated with our feelings. Dreamed of and dreamt of, finished with clay, wood and stone. Built largely by our own efforts.
Years ago, we built a Cottage by the stream, made of beams from an old granary. It was in the Cottage that the desire to escape civilization was born, and then the idea to share our place on earth with others. Next to the Cottage, a house was built with rooms and space for guests, and it itself gained the name of Stara and became an option for those who value the trappers' atmosphere more than rooms in a new guest house.
Drop by for some relaxation and normality, because in the Low Beskids we have them to share. We also have three streams, two cats, a sauna with a banya and a dog. And a colony of bats, which are not as scary as the myths paint them. Thanks to them, you don't have to clap at mosquitoes, chase away midges and other man-eating creatures.
You can find rooms in our guesthouse on the profile: TRZY POTOKI – HIDDEN FROM THE WORLD.
Stara Chata was created years ago as a fulfillment of my youthful dreams of a house in the mountains. It stands on a stream next to our main guest house (Trzy Potoki – hidden from the world) and is a more intimate option for staying in our settlement.
Cool in the heat, warmed by the fire of the stove and the goat in the cold season.
Built with my own hands, from old beams from a dismantled Lemko granary, it undoubtedly has a soul and a unique character. Simple and austere, yet warm and cozy. It is fully functional and has everything you need to spend a short vacation or a long holiday here.
Downstairs there is a room with a cast iron goat and a large table made of thick beech boards. Behind the chimney there is a kitchenette and a shower, and the toilet is located in the hall at the entrance to the cottage. Steep stairs lead to the attic, where there is a sleeping area, divided into two rooms.
The kitchen equipment allows for self-catering, so we basically rent the Cottage without catering. If you are interested in catering, please contact us
When you leave the city to hide in the mountains, suddenly entertainment changes form. You appreciate the silence, the sunny days, the lesser spotted eagles above your head, the spotted salamander you meet on a walk, the cross-country trail under your nose, the cold water in the stream and the evening in the wood-fired sauna. What becomes valuable is that you don't have to rush and plan too much, that there is time for morning yoga, and the neighbors are far away, that in the evening you can listen to a concert of crickets or stare at the stars.
Don't let our location fool you. There is also something going on in the middle of nowhere, because the Low Beskids attract minds full of ideas. Our region abounds in unique events and festivals, you just need to know where and when they happen:
- IN NOWICA theatre festival (held every year in September)
- International Jazz Bez Festival in Nowica (annual event in December)
- Łemkowska Watra in Zdynia (in July)
- unique performances staged by the local theatre group PLEMIĘ (Beskidzkie Dziady, Sobótka, Beskid Bez Kitu, Bombel etc.)
- orienteering competitions - Rajd Hawran and Mordownik
- summer series of workshops "Towarzyskie Lato"
Our region is also a place hiding forgotten history, worth discovering and interesting culture of Lemkos who have been inhabiting Beskid Niski for centuries.
So you can follow the cultural trail or completely stay away from our clearing and take a few steps to the stream. Or go to Beskid straight from your home. Mountain trips without crowds on the trails await you. There will be an opportunity to learn about the history of Lemkos, find abandoned villages and forgotten churches. For example, in Nieznajowa, Lipna, Radocyna, Czarne and Długie. It is also worth going to Wołowiec, Ropki, and in Zyndranowa, to visit the most famous Lemko Culture Open-Air Museum in the Low Beskids.
In winter, there are great conditions for cross-country skiing, especially in the option of "wild" hiking. You can also use the prepared cross-country trails located in the town of Krzywa. In the Low Beskids, you can also do downhill skiing. And although there are no large resorts here, the slopes are pleasant and not as crowded as in the high mountains.
We have three resorts nearby: Magura-Ski with a long slope and chairlift, a shorter but very pleasant slope in Małastów and a small lift with a gentle slope ideal for children in Sękowa. And all this within a half-hour drive from the house.
Spring and autumn belong to sheep and shepherds. It is absolutely worth seeing the last sheep herd in Poland at least once in your life, when a large herd of sheep is driven from Czarny to Nowy Targ after the summer pasture.
After the attractions, you can lie in a hammock, set up an astronomical observatory on the terrace or relax in 101 other ways. In the summer, we open a frame pool, available for children only under the supervision of parents or guardians. In the colder season (usually from September to May), you can use our sauna and tub, although this attraction is additionally paid.
What’s there for children?
Calm down, your uncombed, we have a hundred and one places for children to play and relax. Daily rounds for strawberries, digging potatoes for dinner by yourself, smelling bean flowers, recognizing carrot tops, knowing how to mow rye. You will be able to show all this to children in Trzy Potoki.
In addition, when the weather is good, our habitat turns into a natural playground. Carefree and unfettered children's ingenuity reigns. Toys are put aside, and the most interesting things turn out to be stones and clay, lizards and watching frogs, wading in the stream and playing in the base in the bushes, chasing a cat and petting a dog... We also have a summer frame pool, swings, a sandbox and a trampoline.
In the season, there is an offer of various workshops, some of which take place on site and some in neighboring villages. It's also possible outside the season - when the house is full of kids.
If you want to go on a hike, the trails start right in our clearing. You can even do it with a stroller (as long as it has big wheels), so you're free to go. In winter, there's cross-country skiing, skis and sleighs, frost and snow, and Narnia in general. In autumn, trips to the forest for mushrooms and colorful leaves.
What’s there for employees?
Come and hide away in the Cottage and spend a piece of your life truly far from civilization, and all this thanks to the possibility of remote work. On site you will find a large table and decent internet. On warm days, work will be made more pleasant by the sound of a stream coming through an open window, and when it is colder, by a fire burning in the stove.
