Agrotourism• Max 17 people
Without animals
for guests over the age of 12
We cook for you
Slow down, turn off the air conditioning, open the windows and let the world in. There is no sense in rushing because, in Dom nad Wierzbami (House by the Willows), the rhythm of life is determined by the age-old laws of nature. The kitchen clanking and conversations in the living room intertwine with the sounds coming from the Bug River jungle. You can hear birds singing, frogs croaking, roosters crowing, village dogs barking in the evening. But also the sound of threshing machines in summer or saws cutting wood in early spring.
In January and February, the House by the Willows is like a bear in a cave. Warm, quiet, because there are not many guests. Only the cats and the dog, demanding attention and caresses, enliven the deep silence. And from outside the window, over the backwater, you can hear the steady flapping of swans' wings and sometimes a heron's cry. Then we miss the joyful bustle during meals and evening gatherings. But soon, you can feel the breath of spring, and then the river comes to life. An otter appears in the sparkling water from the sun, and the cows on the Bug River wander the river like the sacred waters of the Nile.
Come for a walk at dawn accompanied by a cat, the smell of bread in the morning, fresh fish on your plate and fafernuchy for dessert. We will host you like in a family home - you are welcome, important and awaited here.
Host:
Barbara
It's so good that you are here. I am waiting for you by the Bug river, and I am already putting bread in the oven. For your arrival, the house will smell of crispy bread and maybe even fish from the Bug river; we will see what will be on the menu. For the past 13 years, I have been mainly involved in "making heaven on Earth" for the guests who come to us to relax, explore the wild nature of the Bug River, practice handicrafts and art, and apply life's Italian essence that is so lacking in everyday life. Although it might seem that nothing is happening here, there is always something to do. There's painting, carpentry, wickerwork and, my favourite, cooking workshops. Bustling breakfast conversations disturb the morning's silence and nature excursions to the meadows by the Bug River. In between all this, like worker bees, we make lots of preserves of vegetables, fruit and mushrooms - crammed in jars, cans and bottles, dried and those drenched in strong liquids. Then we serve, feed and taste them. This is what we are here for - to make you feel good. It is not only me but also a team of wonderful women who co-create the atmosphere of our house. We cannot forget about Tunde, Urszulka and Ania. Welcome to our women's republic.

Our home is your home. With all the pros and cons, rules and charms. The smell of wood and the creaking of floors, mosquitoes and an alarm clock in the form of bird concerts and cow roars. The interiors are filled with aromas from the kitchen, the walls of our painters are hanging on the walls, and cats and a dog are occupying the couches. It is a house filled with warmth and history built of hundred-year-old logs, which found its new place of residence in the wilderness of the Bug.
In the old house we have 5 rooms with balconies and a river view for a total of 11 people. One 3-person room and four 2-person rooms. The rooms in this house have 2 shared bathrooms. When you need socialization and a moment by the fireplace, we invite you to the cozy living room and the large terrace with a view of the garden.
In 2014, we completed the construction of a new building, which we called the Gray House. It is a modern space where you can relax, integrate, take advantage of a wide range of workshops, trainings, educational, dance and meditation classes, including yoga, as well as socialize.
In the Gray House there is a 40-meter room with mirrors, equipped with multimedia devices, with an extensive view of the meadows and backwaters of the Bug, and a terrace. There is a separate kitchen and two bedrooms with bathrooms upstairs. One of these rooms has a large balcony on the river side, the other one overlooks the orchard.
We provide towels on request. We change them every 5 days (more often on request).
In our house we accept adults and children over 12 years of age.
Allergy sufferers are advised that pets are members of our family. We have a dog named Synek and 5 cats: Fiona, Bąbla, Rysia and two red dogs - Józia and Rysia. We regret to inform the dog breeders that our son does not tolerate other dogs in his area. In a situation where we have a lot of our pets, we invite you without your pets.
We know a lot about ecology and for many years we have been trying to live and host without harming the environment:
- We segregate waste and encourage you to follow in our footsteps.
- We do not use chemical cleaning agents and plant protection products at home and on the farm.
- We nourish you as we do - we mostly use products produced traditionally and ecologically by ourselves and local producers, as well as fair trade.
- We use solar panels and photovoltaics, we use energy-saving light bulbs. We try to remember to turn off devices. We do not iron bed linen and towels.
- We limit water consumption.

What will I eat?

Kitchen is a topic for me. Wide, deep and convoluted like the Bug itself. I love to treat, experiment, discover old recipes and regional flavors. I use local, traditionally produced products to prepare meals. I pay attention to whether they are ecological and fair trade. I bake bread and cakes myself, and process vegetables, mushrooms and fruit. This is how jams, preserves, juices, pickles and other marinades are made, as well as wild fruit seasonings for vodka, the famous Bella Rosa hawthorn wine, Bello Nero from chokeberry and elderberry, and pear cider. Everything without E additives, artificial colors and flavor enhancers. I want to feed you and treat you with something really good. Polish cuisine, with a regional advantage, also vegetarian. Do not be surprised when we sit down to the table with you - we eat together, as in a family home.
From this year on, we serve mainly breakfasts, but as always with us, rich. The table bends under Korycin and goat cheeses, local cold cuts, country eggs, seasonal vegetables, homemade bread and unusual jams. For this tea from herbs harvested in summer and delicious coffee. We will also prepare a dinner for workshop / training groups.
Since our house is located in the vicinity of Biała Kurpiowszczyzna and the cultural influences of this land have reached our village, we also serve regional delicacies. Therefore, when we have enough strength, we will make broth of suckling sheep, whitened fish soup, dumplings with goat cheese and fenugreek, and unique dumplings for you. I will not reveal everything, because the element of surprise on the menu is the most desirable thing. Come and get fed.
For an additional fee, you can use a separate, fully equipped kitchen.

Will I not be bored?
In the countryside

I invite you to come home for relationships, simple fun, happy faces and bliss from the threshold. There is no need to fill the calendar with attractions, time flows along the natural course of the river, seasons and flowering. Wild Bug and backwaters, kayaks, canoes, bicycles, wading and fishing - a bit like in a fairy tale or in a series about good life and good people. We are not bored, because nature offers variety. You can sit on the terrace and observe a different panorama of the Lower Bug Valley at any time of the year. We will be happy to accompany you with the tincture, wine of our own production and stories that we have collected a lot.
In spring, the river swells, flooding coastal meadows and islands (sometimes reaching the fence of the plot), then retreats, revealing sandy shoals in summer, perfect for lazy sunbathing and swimming. River arms, meanders, islands and peninsulas form a labyrinth that is an oasis for fish and water birds, as if created to be explored from a kayak or boat, with a fishing rod or a camera. And in winter? After a walk or cross-country skiing in the snowy meadows, you can hide in the quiet of a room with a good book, or go down to the living room, sit near a burning fireplace with a cat on your lap and a glass of wine in your hand and listen to the silence.
We have 2 kayaks, canoes and bicycles ready for you - all in place.
We could talk for hours about the flora and fauna of our surroundings. A riparian forest, that is, the wild jungle of the Bug River, the mud and water birds living in its depths, binoculars and all day long. We invite you to go on micro-nature trips around the Bug backwaters by canoes and guided boats, as well as on educational trips around the Natura 2000 area Dolina Dolnego Bugu.
In the evening, when the air is vibrating with the sounds of insects, birds and cats purring, and the sun is turning red, it's time to relax. By the fire, on the terrace with a book or in a herbal bath in a bathtub by the pool. This is how you have to live.
We share what we have the best, so feel free to join us in the kitchen. We organize culinary workshops and discover the secrets of old, regional recipes. Together, we will make preserves of fruit, vegetables, mushrooms, and maybe even we can make dumplings.
Our Jackowo Dolne is not only a river, there are also beautiful forests within walking distance - Popowski (4 km) and Somiankowski (2 km). The road to them leads through Barcice, a village founded in the 13th century, in the center of which is one of the most valuable sacred monuments of Mazovia - a wooden baroque church from 1758. In the village, you can still see a dozen or so wooden Kurpie cottages, located on a high slope above the river.
Another attractive destination for a bicycle trip may be Pułtusk, located in the north. The road to it may lead along the Bug and the embankment crown along the Narew River, passing the marshy bird reserve Stawinoga on the way. The highlight of the escapade may be visiting Pułtusk, where there is a charming and somewhat forgotten market square and a picturesque Bishop's Castle towering over the Narew River.

What’s there for children?

Translated by Google Translate.
We have rules that are there for you to do your best. We respect the silence, peace, silence and carefree of adults during their free time. That is why in our agritourism we only accept adults on a daily basis.
Family celebrations are an exception to the rule. Then we open our door for the little ones who feel like fish in the Bug, cows in the meadow and cats on the couch - that is, on the spot. Then we take them on micro-nature trips, organize guided educational tours and give them complete freedom to go crazy. Usually, however, they spend their days outside, playing with the cats, building structures with sticks, and counting the cows grazing on the other side of the pool. They will eat quickly and fly back to the yard, because there are things and errands there. Live not die.

We have a 40-meter room with four tables that can be connected with additional inserts, and with access to the terrace. 3-4 people can work at a single table. Here, too, no one will disturb the working guests, because the place is far from the main house. The only obstacle may be the barking dogs of the neighbors and periodically gagging geese, but that's the charm of the place.
Currently, 2 rooms in the Gray House have been adapted to remote work. In the first there is a fold-out desk for one person, and in the second for two.
The old house does not have the conditions for working in the common space, but some guests were working in headphones at the dining table and said it was ok. The most popular place to work remotely is the huge table on the terrace next to the old house.

Reviews
Świetne miejsce, Świetne jedzenie, bardzo miła gospodyni. Miejsce jest zadbane, komfortowe, piękny widok na rozlewisko Bugu. Przemiłe zwierzaki domowe, super-swieże jedzenie, Basia po prostu rządzi!
Wybierając to miejsce na odpoczynek byłam pełna entuzjazmu, bardzo dużo pozytywnych opinii, każdy zachwala panią Basię właścicielkę, więc miałam spore oczekiwania co do tego miejsca. Niestety podczas naszego pobytu (pobyt na dwie noce, finalnie 1 noc przez problemy zdrowotne) nie wszystko było tak jak być powinno. Już na samym początku naszego przyjazdu co mnie bardzo zdziwiło właścicielka nie wyszła nam na przywitanie (może tam tak jest), zostałyśmy zaprowadzone do pokoju, który prezentował się znacznie gorzej niż na zdjęciach. Po rozpakowaniu chciałyśmy podgrzać wino, właścicielka nie była za bardzo chętna bo w tym czasie robiła ser, ok uszanowałyśmy to. Chciałyśmy zrobić sobie grilla, usłyszałyśmy że grill jest w szopie i że powinno coś węgla zostać po ostatnim grilowaniu (grill bardzo brudny z resztką wilgotnego węgla). Po podpałkę znowu trzeba było się prosić, potem po talerze, sztućce. Brak informacji czy możemy sobie zrobić kawę, herbatę, napić wody. Jakby właścicielka nie była zachwycona naszą obecnością. W kuchni 4 osoby robiące ser, ale żadnej pomocy z ich strony. Tak naprawdę wiesz tylko która to właścicielka a pozostałe 3 osoby nie wiesz czy turyści czy stali mieszkańcy tego domu jak się później okazało. Pokój był bardzo zimny, kaloryfer zimny, woda względnie ciepła, podobno popsuł się piec ale to się same domyśliłyśmy a raczej usłyszałyśmy przypadkiem. Następnego dnia ciepłej wody nie było. Śniadanie miałyśmy zamówione, niestety przez mój problem zdrowotny nie byłam w stanie jeść, więc właścicielka stwierdziła, że skoro ja nie mogę to moja współtowarzyszka też nie będzie jadła. Przed przyjazdem przez telefon wspomniałam, że będziemy chciały skorzystać z kąpieli ziołowych, usłyszałam że nie ma problemu, że na miejscu wszystko ustalimy. Jakie było moje zdziwienie kiedy w ogrodzie zobaczyłam wannę brudną, z różnymi rzeczami w środku, kompletnie nieprzygotowaną, już wiedziałam że właścicielka nie będzie skora do zorganizowania nam kąpieli. Okolica jest bardzo ładna, stary dom trochę zaniedbany, sporo pajęczyn, pająków. Nie wiem czy właścicielka miała gorsze dni, czy nie ale nie mogę powiedzieć że czułyśmy się u niej dobrze, i że byłyśmy przez nią dobrze przyjęte. Pozostał spory niesmak po tym pobycie.
Basia prowadzi dom niezwykły. Miejsce pełne zwierząt, ciekawych ludzi i dobrego jedzenia. Tu czas płynie zupełnie innym rytmem - śniadania płynnie przechodzą w obiady, te zaś we wspólne posiadówki przy winie i rozmowach do nocy. Aktywne osoby też znajdą coś dla siebie - na miejscu są kajaki i rowery, blisko stadnina koni, a wszędzie wokół ścieżki na piesze wycieczki. W Domu nad Wierzbami można poczuć się jak u siebie, poznać wspaniałych ludzi, zainspirować się i zwyczajnie odpocząć. Gospodyni wraz ze swoją cudowną ekipą zadbała nie tylko o nasze dobre samopoczucie, ale też o podniebienia (a na drogę dostaliśmy jeszcze najlepsze na ziemi ciasto dyniowe!). Na pewno tu wrócimy! Dziękujemy, Basiu! Julia i Tomek
Julio, Tomku, lejecie miód na nasze serca🙃 Nie zamierzamy ukrywać, że takie odczucia naszych gości dodają nam skrzydeł. Bo przecież naszym celem jest przychylanie wam nieba. Jeśli potwierdzacie, że tak jest, to jest dla nas najwyższa nagroda. Bardzo dziękujemy i serdecznie was ściskamy, Basia, Ula i Ania
