Leave the grey walls and everything that's part of your daily routine - this is our advice to you and ... at least for a moment, put your energy in a place where high-end foreign hotels are second to none. Rumour has it that in the Beskid Żywiecki, on the slope of Mały Rachowiec, there is everything that urban runners need.
It is worth slowing down, waking up in front of everyone and spending the morning on the terrace surrounded by fog, humid air and whirling silence. Add a teaspoon of honey to your coffee. Lick the teaspoon. Then maybe take a bath. A bathtub in the middle of a stone floor, a fridge full of local delicacies, crackling wood in the fireplace and massage on the terrace.
Don't forget to bring those who make every moment taste like fresh bread with butter. It is a home that brings you all closer together, strengthens your bonds and encourages you to travel together, or do nothing. Just be.
In the summer, pilates on the grass, sports hiking and a swimming pool overlooking the mountains. In the autumn and spring, when the weather is bad, you need to take your hiking boots and head to Duży Rachowiec. After 40 minutes there's a surprise: the sun and fantastic views, but the magic is at the edge of the clouds. In the winter, tire chains are essential, as snow peeks into the windows and encourages you to take out your shovel. That's when skis and a board come into play, and in the evening, a fire, star gazing and warm woollen socks. Delight and bliss included in the package.
We invite you to Zwierzówka - a pampered highlander cottage. Respect for tradition, so don't expect tiles and panels. The decor was designed to harmonize with the original elements of the old house.
The house can comfortably accommodate 8 people, has 4 separate rooms, a spacious living room with a fireplace and a sofa, a large fully equipped kitchen, a bathing room and a terrace with a view of the mountains. On the ground floor there is a cozy bedroom with a fireplace and a double bed.
On the first floor you will find two rooms with double beds and a bedroom with a king size bed, and if necessary (10 people) there will be two additional beds - solid mattresses on a steel frame, which are as comfortable as the other beds. In the largest bedroom on the first floor there is also a goat to warm up on colder days. All beds are, of course, made with fresh, starched linen, and duvets and pillows are filled with natural feathers.
Silence, beautiful views, the surrounding area of over 1000 m2 - all this has a positive impact on days free from chaos. On the additional terrace you will find an outdoor swimming pool and a terrace for sunbathing, chilling and enjoying the silence.
Take your pets with you - they will be happy here. Next to the house, there is a renovated barn at your disposal, equipped with a fireplace, a platform and seats with tables - there you can also feast on a rainy day, sit by the fire, eat something and watch a movie.
Take your pets with you - they will be happy here.
Eat when you want, how much you want and what you want. There is a fully equipped kitchen at your disposal - stove with oven, microwave, dishwasher, coffee machine, pots and beautiful tableware. Amateurs of home cooking will have a chance to show off and the nettles or sorrel growing in the nearby fields will tempt you to prepare soups from them. Blueberries, blackberries, mushrooms - sometimes they come right to your door in liter jars. Our homemade preserves are available in the cottage.
On request, we can provide you with home-made products from friendly hosts: eggs, cottage cheese, butter, rennet cheese, cold cuts, milk, bread. Let me know in advance, and on your arrival we will fill the fridge with these delicacies. Availability depends on the date of stay - agreed individually.
In the vicinity, you can find the atmospheric inn "Swojskie Klimaty" with delicious home-made food - 15 minutes walk from the cottage. At Ms. Monika, the owners of the inn, you can also order delicious meat, barbecue items and other good-quality products.
In the center of Zwardoń, we recommend a cafe with great donuts, buns and cakes. After a mountain sports walk, replenish the calories as he found.
In summer, the mountains are teeming with life. The trails promise hectoliters of sweat, but also a reward in the form of million-dollar views. The green routes of the Żywiecki Beskids wind through hills, mountains, valleys and sunny glades. Backpacks in motion and movement towards:
- Duży Rachowiec - 40 minutes walk. There is an observation tower with benches there. Sometimes, when the weather is good, you can see the Tatra Mountains.
- 1 hour to the unforgettable Skalanka,
- romantic view of Lovers' Avenue - 20 minutes away.
Take a trip to the vicinity of Ostrava, specifically to the former Landek coal mine. 1.5 hours away from our cottages. All day surrounded by greenery and Czech specialties. You will also find beer with a lot of foam.
Take advantage of the proximity of the borders and go on a culinary and sightseeing trip to our southern neighbors - Slovakia. Just 1 hour walk and what do we have? Thick pork shank with cabbage and, of course, dumplings. There will also be syra fried with garlic sauce with a million delicious calories. There's no need to mention the beer. And the original Kofola and artisan ice cream for 0.3 euros per scoop. Plus views, blooming wild fruit trees and ski lifts.
We have ways to deal with the heat. 30 minutes from us you will find a great place to spend the whole day. We recommend Geo Park Glinka. Or maybe go-karts in Zwardoń? Great track under cover on the border. We recommend it - great fun (also with kids!)
A trip for the guilty and innocent towards the Vineyard of Mr. Jacek Chrobak in Wiślica. In the difficult Polish climatic conditions, several varieties of grapes are grown there, from which Mr. Jacek produces miracles corked in bottles. They are waiting for you in Chatata. Mr. Jacek offers you a tasting of his wines and refreshments with local products.
How about massages delivered to your home, on a sunny terrace. Miłko Massages - a mobile masseur is not far from us and will be happy to offer his healing hands. We will give you directions to it on site, because the man knows how to relax your mind and body.
It so happens that we have the best neighbors in the world, i.e. ZwardońSki. A slope with a chair, so both skiers and boarders will be happy. Winter never disappoints us, and sometimes to go to the slopes you have to break through a snow wall. You will be satisfied.
If the abundance of attractions overwhelms you and you don't want to move from your seat, no problem. We have an idea for that too. Next to the cottage there is a swimming pool with a terrace - lying in the sun with your feet in the cool water. Not very active, but so nice. You can practice pilates on the grass, sit on the terrace with a book and laze around. Or maybe more activity, but not too much. There are many paths, avenues and trails in the vicinity - most of them marked. We recommend going to Żywiec by car - the Żywiec Brewery with its museum and a trip through the production line will certainly be remembered not only by beer lovers.
What’s there for children?
A 70 cm deep swimming pool for summer and a large green meadow - all within the sight of an adult. Winter - in the neighborhood, the Zwardoń SKI ski slope with a baby lift, ski school and individual skiing instructors.
There are about 100 more reasons to come with kids to Beskid Żywiecki, and we are close to each of these reasons. A treasure hunt, the wind in your hair on Zipline, views of the Tatra Mountains and Mala Fatra, the Feast of Gourmands, fires shooting at the sky and delicious pancakes in shelters - you can exchange for a long time. Go-karts, a water paradise in Glinka GeoPark, a mountain botanical garden called Forest Castle with bee observation and a visit to a heather sheep, collecting nettles for soup are at hand. All this will make the children fall asleep in the evening like angels, and from the morning the same energy and barefoot, running on the trampoline.
What’s there for employees?
In the cottage we have fiber optics, a desk and a table - remote work is no stranger to us. With such views through the window, you can work.
