Chata na Groniku

We will not charm you that it is easy to reach us. A difficult, steep road leads to the house, so you need a 4x4 car and experience driving such a car in the mountains. We consider this difficult access to be an advantage - because no one has accidentally disrupted the stay yet. It also means that you have to go to your friends without an off-road car (or give them a 45-minute walk up the hill (for health!) If there was a big problem, we have a friendly neighbor who, after prior arrangement, takes guests upstairs (PLN 30 for the course) He also helps with finding a home and gives away the keys. We offer you the whole house and its surroundings. Upstairs there are two bedrooms, each with two double beds and one baby cot. Downstairs you will find a living room with a fireplace, a fully equipped kitchen with a dining table, a bathroom with a shower and a bedroom with a double bed. The living room opens onto the terrace with breathtaking views. If you are lucky, you will also notice roe deer, majestic deer or wild boar walking through the nearby meadow. They have their paths there and they like apples from our orchard. In the evening, be sure to light the garlands in the orchard and enjoy the peace that surrounds you. The interiors of the house refer to the nature that surrounds us - you will find here a lot of wood and stones from a nearby stream. Most of the furniture was made by local designers, using the existing material and reusing it. For example, kitchen cabinets were made of the door from the old barn, and the boards that now decorate the walls of the living room, the old cottage was boarded from the outside - we know how to recycle. We heat the house with a fireplace. On colder days, we will fire your arrival to make it nice and warm. We will provide wood for the entire stay. We are equipped with a washing machine, vacuum cleaner, cleaning accessories, iron and ironing board. There is also a parking lot where you can park safely, but remember that getting to the cottage is not easy.

Together with the house, we offer a fully equipped kitchen and we encourage you to make delicious meals there - who knows, maybe you are sleeping with a chef and you will prepare masterpieces of culinary art here. It is true that there is no dishwasher, but we adhere to the principle that whoever has not cooked the dishwasher - so everyone will have something to do. The fridge is small, but we have a cellar. There is a fridge, a hob, an oven, a set of pots and pans - in short, everything you need for cooking. It is best to bring your shopping with you, because the nearest shop is in the village downstairs and if necessary, you have to go down to it (40 minutes walk down), and then go up the hill with these purchases! You can also go down by car (10 min).

The case looks like this - if you want, you can get bored in every place and position. On hammocks, deckchairs, horizontally on the grass, in bed, on the terrace. But if you prefer to spend your time actively, there is plenty to choose from. The cottage is located on the edge of the forest, on a hill that local residents call Gronik, which offers a panoramic view of Beskid Sądecki. It is enough to walk a few steps to the clearing and you will see the enchanting Poprad Valley. If you go a bit higher, you will see the Tatras in good weather. The house is surrounded by a forest where roads are basically only used by local farmers to collect timber (read: no cars). The cottage is located off the main routes, but in a short time, clear paths lead to the Main Beskid Trail leading one way through Jaworzyna to Krynica and the other to Rytro. An unforgettable walk to the shelter on Hala Łabowska takes about 3-4 hours. It may of course take longer if you come in high season and pick blueberries, mushrooms or wild garlic on the way. If you go for a walk towards Rytro, in less than 2 hours you will reach the Hostel on Cyrla (what liqueurs they serve there!). There are also countless paths around the house, perfect for shorter walks. Mountain bikers can use the above-described routes for a bike, runners or cross-country skiers will also be satisfied. The cottage is equipped with a set of maps of the area, which you can use at will. Before your arrival, we will send you files with several suggestions for walks to download to any device with navigation. Wiechomla Ski (20min) and Rytro-Ski (10min) await our winter skiing guests in the area. AquaVelo, an increasingly popular bicycle route along the Poprad valley, runs near the cottage. Rafting on boats, kayaks and pontoons is organized in the close vicinity (we can help organize them). The nearest towns with a cultural offer are Piwniczna Zdrój, Stary Sącz and Rytro. The Pannonica Festival takes place on the last weekend of August in Barcice (20 minutes by car). In summer, Stary Sącz hosts the Old Music Festival in Stary Sącz - the oldest festival of early music in Poland. Every year, Łąck organizes the Apple Blossom Festival.
