Quick check


In the vicinity of the border with the Czech Republic and Slovakia, on the slopes of the Złoty Groń mountain, Istebna is sometimes green, sometimes covered with snow, and always undulating. It was asking for a nice idea and one that's favourable for us too. We found two shipping containers that have sailed around the world several times. We transported them to the mountains and gave them a new life. Adapting a rectangular metal eco house box was a challenge. Along the way, everything was uphill, which is normal in the Beskids. But it was worth it!

We put our whole heart into the creation of Woodboxes to be able to share with you good energy, brilliant skiing conditions, beautiful walking routes, a forest full of mushrooms, a gurgling stream nearby, coffee on the terrace and sledging down the hill. See what we managed to create when we boldly combined unconventional design and ecology.

Hi, I'm Ania and I manage and take care of Woodboxes. I'm a manual therapist by education, a mother of two children by vocation and the wife of a wonderful, supportive husband. I love healthy ecological food and I keep everything I can in jars. I have a lot of ideas in my head that I don't hide in my closet, but I implement them step by step. Until now, neither of us has dealt with the hotel industry and everything related to creating a new place from scratch. Building Woodboxes was a challenge worthy of a master. Each day brought new experiences and valuable lessons, and this is still the case today. We are glad that we can give our little works into your hands. We do all of this for people who are looking for innovation just like us. People who value peace, respect nature, and appreciate the little things. We are waiting for you.

Dzięki temu miejscu mamy za sobą bardzo relaksujący weekend. Marzyłam o siedzeniu na tarasie z kubkiem kawy w słońcu i to się udało! Domek przygotowany perfekcyjnie! Pomyślano o wszystkim. Doskonale wyposażona kuchnia. Czysto. Trafiliśmy na przemiłych sąsiadów w domku obok i nasze psy bawiły się ze sobą. Żyć nie umierać! Na pewno wrócimy.

Cudowne miejsce, żeby odpocząć od codzienności i się totalnie zresetować. Łóżko w kapsule pozwala odciąć wszelkie bodźce i cieszyć się widokami i drugą osobą. Wyposażenie domku sprawia, że nie trzeba się niczym martwić - dostępny nawet opiekacz i blender. Gościnnosc i pomocnosc gospodarzy na medal - rozwiązanie drobnego problemu szybko i z usmiechem. Dziękujemy za przyjemny czas ❤️

Wlasciciele podchodza elastycznie do rezerwacji z ukierunkowaniem na klienta. Samo miejsce piekne, blisko na stok i szlaki gorskie. Dodatkowe atrakcje jak jaccuzi czy sauna sa niewątpliwym atutem. Polecam z czystym sumieniem ;)

Piękne miejsce z super widoczkami. Malutki minus za to, że czasem leje się zimna woda ale tak poza tym nie możemy nic zarzucić 😊

To był nasz drugi pobyt i zapewne nie ostatni. Balia i basen był dla nas miłym zaskoczeniem. Woodbox i teren dookoła bardzo zadbany. Trzymacie poziom :)

Z całego serca polecamy pobyt w Woodbox w Istebnej! Domek był doskonale przygotowany na nasz przyjazd – czyściutki, przytulny i w pełni wyposażony, co zapewniło nam maksymalny komfort. Idealne miejsce na relaks dla dwóch osób, a także naszego psa, który czuł się tu równie dobrze jak my. Dużym plusem była możliwość korzystania z sauny, która okazała się prawdziwym luksusem po długich spacerach w o...

Wspaniałe miejsce na pobyt we dwoje , w ciszy i na pięknym łonie natury ! Dobra baza wypadowa na piesze wycieczki po Beskidzie śląskim , w okolicznych karczmach pyszne i regionalne produkty. Sam Woodbox skradł nasze serce. W środku mieliśmy wszystko czego potrzeba do porządnego odpoczynku - pyszne herbaty, ciasteczka do kawy , wygodne i duże łóżko , planszówki do gry wieczorami , jacuzzi z podgrze...
