Everyone needs a big hug from the forest sometimes. And anyone who says they don't probably needs it even more. The forest soothes our nervous system, and this is confirmed not only by regulars but also by research. Forest walks lower cortisol levels. They also increase the activity of the parasympathetic nervous system (the one responsible for rest and regeneration). Furthermore, the brain uses less energy in the forest to deliberately direct attention – ignoring noise, advertisements, notifications, and hundreds of other urban stimuli. If you want to learn more about the beneficial effects of the forest on your well-being, you'll find a comfortable lounger and pleasant surroundings here.

But if you'd rather spend your time watching a silly TV show or reading the author's hundredth crime novel, no one will judge you. Because in our forest, everyone does what they want! They fart and gaze at the trees, or practice yoga and engage in lively conversations with their friends. The cabin is simple, cozy, and comfortable. It doesn't distract you from what's most important here: connecting with nature. In summer, you can take a walk to the Chańcza Reservoir, enjoy the beach, and paddleboard. In autumn, don't forget your baskets to accommodate the abundance of mushrooms. Pack your bike too, as we have beautiful trails nearby. And bring your curiosity with you, because the beautiful palace complex in Kurozwęki and the fascinating ruins of Krzyżtopór Castle, built… like a calendar, are waiting to be discovered. The cherry on the cake is the Plum Museum in Szydłów. Come visit!

What will you find in our small but thoughtfully designed cottage? There's a large living room with a view of the forest (sofa, bookcase, TV), connected to the open kitchen. There are also two bedrooms (one with a large window overlooking the forest), each with a double bed, a dresser, and a mirror. There's a comfortable bathroom and a large wardrobe. We also have two mezzanines: one with a sleeping area—a paradise for children—and the other with a workspace and a desk. In front of the cottage, a large and comfortable covered terrace awaits, featuring sofas, a table and chairs, and a barbecue. A fire pit, a swing, and garden baskets will make relaxing in the garden even more enjoyable. Our fenced plot is nestled in the forest.

You'll eat what you prepare, but don't worry about equipment or washing up. Our kitchen has a large refrigerator, dishwasher, induction cooktop, dishes, cutlery, pots and pans—everything you need to cook a good meal.

– Cycling routes.

Kids are welcome to play carefree in the forest, on the fenced plot, and splash around in the reservoir. Just bring some toys, because we don't have any here!

The cottage features a special mezzanine for work, which you can climb onto when you need to focus. There, you'll find a desk and peace of mind. Internet access allows you to work freely.
