It is a simple, wooden house on the Gorce hill. We invented it, designed and built it ourselves. And it was not easy, everyone who built a house above the clouds knows it. It is our dream come true about living among the silence and beauty of the mountains. From the windows and from the terrace, the view of the entire Tatra Mountains is breathtaking - every morning is different - you never get bored...
How did we get here? Maybe by accident, or maybe everyone is attracted to something...we don't know. In your life, you visit many places, meet different people and only sometimes everything will turn out so perfectly that you have to come back and stay, no matter what - and we stayed. Although we still live wide apart, standing with one foot in Mazovia and the other on the summit, it is here in Gorce that we experience the deepest sighs...
We invite you to a place where you can cook, test and try a lot, and share your knowledge about living in accordance with the natural rhythm of nature. The kitchen smells like baked Jerusalem artichoke with oyster mushrooms, real blueberries and rye leaven bread. Wonderful jams, meats, cheeses and yoghurts are made here from the milk of happy cows from Gorce; wild salads are made from what grows in the meadow and we cultivate kitchen spells over the pot - that is, we cook according to mysterious 5 transformations, thanks to which your bellies and taste buds are happy and satisfied. In the kitchen, health is the key, but it is your pleasure! Here you sleep in the mountain air and cosy wooden interiors, you speak to yourself - unless you don't like it - and sneak out on the terrace in the morning to practice yoga or drink a wonderfully aromatic coffee in five alternations, necessarily sweetened with real natural honey from apiaries of the family. And if someone would like to start the adventure with baking homemade bread, they have come to the right place - maybe start with us - we like to share knowledge and 9-year-old rye leaven, you can multiply it and multiply it endlessly ...
Nobody bothers us here, although sometimes there are a lot of us, everyone is at home, because it is a real home and we are to feel at ease here. And after a whole day of hiking and field trips, we meet at a long table, over a fragrant dinner with dessert, with homemade tinctures, sometimes by the fireplace and share our adventures. It is always nice and joyful and it should be so, because many things may differ from us, but never love for good food and mountains...
We have prepared 16 beds for you plus 5 extra beds
The first floor is:
rooms for 2, 3 and 4 persons
with a bathroom in the room or in the corridor, divided into two rooms.
The attic with the most beautiful view is:
- bedrooms: double and triple
- two bathrooms, including one small in a triple room.
Rent them all or a selected part.
In each room you get a view of the whole Tatra Mountains, our forest and meadow, fresh linen, towels, and the bathrooms are equipped with basic cosmetics and cleaning agents.
Time spent together quickly passes in the cozy living room - dining room. There is a long wooden table, a wood-scented fireplace, TV and DVD for evening screenings, and a stereo. In the afternoons we read books on the terrace, we have a lot of them, and we like to take naps in a hammock under a tree. We spend our evenings by the fire under the starry sky and in a cozy wooden gazebo, with a comfortable banquet table, at dinners prolonged by conversation, or simply fall into bed :)
We start the day with coffee according to five transformations. If anyone doesn't know what it smells like, it's time to try it! And its scent actually spreads throughout the entire house.
Later, regional and our cold meats, jams and home-made jams arrive on the long table. Cakes scented with berries and seasonal fruit, washed down with fresh milk. Our bread is baked on rye sourdough, homemade cottage cheese, yogurt and, of course, real honey from our apiary. We only cook with local products and what we have grown ourselves, so we are not afraid of vegetarian, dairy-free and gluten-free diets - daily surcharge of PLN 20
In the summer, we sometimes eat dinner in the meadow, because there is nothing better than ending the day with the sun, the sounds of crickets and a beautiful view. We sometimes barbecue and in the evenings we light a bonfire, because not only children enjoy it.
Dinner in the dining room includes soup in a tureen, main course, herbal tea and compote. We prefer to serve desserts for breakfast because we care about easier digestion for our guests. Generally, eat as much as you want, no one will leave hungry :)
We have also prepared a small kitchen at the disposal of our guests. There you will find a fridge, a sink, an electric kettle, a coffee machine, a bottle warmer and basic dishes and cutlery, a toaster and a mini oven.
Want to heat something in the microwave? Although we do not use it ourselves, we will be happy to share it with you.
DURING HOLIDAYS AND LONG WEEKENDS, WE OFFER HOLIDAYS WITH MEALS - WE ADD BREAKFAST AND DINNER TO EACH ACCOMMODATION.
In the period until September 10, you can choose one meal or skip eating with us altogether, but remember that we will not provide you with access to the kitchen for cooking.
