Dom nad Wierzbami (Azyl tylko dla dorosłych)

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 works of our painters are hanging on the walls, and cats and a dog occupy 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 garden perspective. 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, and 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 rooms 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). We only accept adults in our house on a daily basis. The rule does not apply to family celebrations, cooking workshops and trips for children. Allergy sufferers are advised that pets are members of our family. We have a dog named Synek and 4 cats: Fiona, Bąbla 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 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.

Kitchen is a topic for me. Broad, 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 and vegan. Fish from the local river are often on the table. Do not be surprised when we sit down at the table with you - we eat together, as if at home. We serve breakfasts and dinners, and for an additional fee you can use a separate, fully equipped kitchen. Since our house is located in the vicinity of Biała Kurpiowszczyzna and the cultural influences of this land have reached our village, we often serve regional delicacies. That is why we use fafernuchy, chicken broth and dumplings with goat cottage cheese and herbs. We also treat bream with thyme and pike watered with country cream and unique dumplings. I will not reveal everything, because the surprise element in the menu is the most desirable thing. Come and get fed.

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.
