At a glance
There are regions of Poland which draw in extraordinary people. They usually move there from big cities and create extraordinary communities of unique non-residents. You can find such creative heads in, among others, Beskid Niski, in the Dylewo Hills, in the Izery Mountains and right here - in the Białowieża Forest. Maybe they are tempted by the wild nature, the sounds of rutting, the sight of bison in the morning, or maybe just life tastes like a meringue cake that can be eaten with any number of toppings.
We have always dreamed of leaving the big city. We wanted to leave our Warsaw apartment blocks, set up a garden, watch peonies bloom and make preserves. The search for the yard with the well centred around Białowieża because we were always intrigued by the stuffiness of Podlasie and this is where our friends settled. Białowieża, however, turned out to be unattainable, while the unknown Suszczy Borek, on the western side of the Forest, was a revelation. A farmstead of the village of Podlewkowo with 8 farms - an ideal place for a quiet life. Not so commercial and popular, but much more of a village and quiet. Suszczy Borek charmed us with the proximity of the forest and the river, meadows as smooth as a tabletop, where deer graze, and we feel the kindness of our neighbours.
In the new reality, we finally feel in place. We have our house in the green yard, and right next to the one with guest rooms, there is a well with spring water, a place for a fire and an oven from which bread, pizza and preserves are slowly made in the kitchen with fireplaces. This is just a prelude to a culinary recital because we practice a new repertoire in the kitchen. From the nettle picked in the garden, we make soup, we turn the dandelions into syrup from God's pharmacy, we serve the cabbage rolls in the style of Podlasie because they are wrapped in sauerkraut leaves. Apparently, it is only here in Podlasie that cabbage is pickled in this way: with the whole heads. When the zucchini plays the first fiddle, we cook to the top - soup, lecsó, grill, chutney - always veg, simple, homemade.
All shades of green behind the windows, and Narewka right behind the house, across the meadow. In spring it is buzzing and the smell is wafting around, the storks move into the nest and observe our entire estate from above. Everything turns pink in the evening. Even a stork. At night we invite you to concerts outside the window: nightingales in spring, crickets all summer, and a rut in the fall. Crickets are effectively drowned out by the roars of lovebird deer, you will remember these performances for the rest of your life.
Come look for traces of wolves, for culture in the wild, for natural flavours, admiring bison and lazing around. Individually, family or group; dogs, cyclists, hikers or canoeists - we invite you in any configuration.

Host:
Basia i Darek
We speak these languages: Polish, English
We are on-site, we give our guests space and intimacy, but we're always ready to help
I'm Basia, who has been dealing with large trade fairs for years, and Darek is a teacher experienced in working with difficult youth. We have slowly grown into this place like old trees that surround us. Both of us were "urbanites", brought up in a block of flats, but we learned to farm on our plot of land, grow vegetables, bake bread and pizza in the oven, pickle pickles, smoke in a smokehouse and cook food on a slow fire. Life has a different dimension and pace here, and as it turned out, we can devote one hundred percent of our time to this place. We have Białowieża within reach - it's only a half-hour drive through the forest, which means access to all its attractions, and after returning - rest in the comfort of our home.
