Our settlement is called Wilga, but it could just as easily be called jay, tit, or nuthatch, as each of these species lives in the surrounding forest. And many other birds, too. Before you arrive, you can download an app to identify them, or, quite analogously, get yourself an atlas that will help you guess who's singing in the tree.

Wilga is famous for its summer resort, which is celebrating its 100th anniversary. Its origins date back to the 1920s. The "Climate-Recreation Estate," as it was called then, was designed by Andrzej Boni, a Polish architect of Italian descent. Perhaps you recognize the church at Szembeka Square in Warsaw? It's his work. Much has happened here during the settlement's century of existence—but today, thanks to summer residents from Warsaw, who are more eager than ever to have a piece of forest for themselves, Wilga is regaining its former glory. I'm fortunate to own a large plot of land where I have the company of tall trees, mysterious ferns, and bird companions all to myself. And this is where I'd like to invite you if, like me, you're looking for an escape from the capital. You'll find it in a modern, comfortable home, full of small delights for the design-conscious eye. Settle into the three bedrooms and soak up the forest – through and behind the windows. I hope that a relaxing and atmospheric weekend with friends or family will allow you to return to the city in a state of blissful relaxation.

Come to this modern, comfortable cottage, designed with a passion for good design – just one hour from Warsaw. Lost Forest is nestled in a pine forest in Wilga, a quiet summer resort. Here, you'll have a substantial piece of the forest to yourself – our plot measures 3,600 m². The nearest buildings are almost invisible, giving you a sense of complete freedom and seclusion. And all this so close to the capital!

The interior of the house was designed in the spirit of Scandinavian simplicity and quiet luxury. Natural materials, light colors, colorful accessories, and large windows will appeal to aesthetes and lovers of northern Europe.

On the ground floor, you'll find a large living room with a fireplace, a kitchen with a dining area, and a bathroom with a walk-in shower. On the first floor, there are three comfortable bedrooms with double beds (each 160 cm long) and a second bathroom with a bathtub.

In front of the house is a terrace and a Weber grill, and among the pine trees we've created an intimate forest platform for yoga, meditation, stretching, or simply enjoying a morning coffee among the trees.

Lost Forest is perfect for a romantic getaway for two, a family weekend, or a multi-day stay for a group of friends.

Important: We don't host parties, hen or stag nights, or other high-profile events. Lost Forest was created for those who want to slow down and breathe.

If you don't feel like cooking (and you have plenty of options, as our kitchen is very well-equipped), head to the nearby home-style restaurant U Aniołów or the iconic Dinoziółek diner.

Outside the house, a terrace and a Weber grill invite you to cook together and enjoy meals outdoors.

The area is enchanting year-round. Woodpeckers, jays, tits, nuthatches, and many other bird species can be spotted in the forests. Squirrels, roe deer, and foxes can be seen among the trees. In summer, the forest smells of resin and berries, in autumn the forest is filled with mushrooms, and in winter, time stands still and you can enjoy long evenings by the fireplace.

Just about 100 meters from the house is the Vistula River, perfect for walks, bike rides, and nature observation. A horse farm is also nearby. There's a swimming area with a beach in a natural reservoir.

In our garden, nestled among the trees, lies a cozy forest platform. It's the perfect place for morning yoga, meditation, breathing exercises, or stretching. Hidden among the pine trees, it allows for peace and connection with the forest without distractions. Many guests find their favorite ritual here at the Lost Forest.

In the evening, you can sit under the starry sky and enjoy the darkness that's hard to experience in cities. The lack of intense lighting makes the night sky captivating.

You're welcome to bring your children. It's not exactly a family-friendly place, but if you're willing to entertain your little ones, the forest offers plenty of opportunities. You can go mushroom picking, riverside walking, or discover native bird species.

We invite Warsaw residents (and beyond) to workation, as our home is perfect for it. We have excellent mobile internet. In two bedrooms, you'll find work stations with desks and comfortable chairs. The forest peeking out at you from the window will make your work more enjoyable. And when you've finished your work, hurry for a walk to admire the greenery and inhale the soothing resinous aroma.
