Bronisław Piłsudski, an outstanding ethnologist and brother of Marshal Józef Piłsudski lived here before World War I. Tytus Chałubiński, Stanisław Witkiewicz and Henryk Sienkiewicz also paid this place a visit. And it all began with the great-great-grandfather, Professor Edward Kornistowicz, who bought and expanded the charming house in Bystrem in 1896. He loved the Tatra Mountains and in the interest of preserving the expansion of Zakopane in the Tatra valleys, he bought plots of land from highlanders looking to build on them. His son Tadeusz inherited his father's passion and proved himself as a nature protection activist, mountaineer, spearhead and mountain rescuer TOPR.

That's enough of history, now here's something for lovers of relaxing in unusual places.

The house is one of the oldest buildings in Zakopane. It is surrounded by a large garden that borders directly with the Tatra National Park. It smells of old wood, and the inside welcomes you with a bright, glass interior. You don't have to move from the sofa to feel that you arrived in the mountains. A large garden can be seen from the veranda as well as Giewont and Kasprowy Wierch in the distance. The sharp eye (with the help of binoculars) will see the lift on the Gąsienicowa route. Aged trees invite you to walk deeper into the garden, up to the borders of the Tatra National Park Lagoon. What you have here is beautiful meadows and glistening lights of lifts. An additional attraction of the garden is the historic Chapel, a drawing of Witkiewicz, which can be seen in full glory from ul. Karłowicz.

We invite everyone who is looking for history, the atmosphere of olden times, modern comfort or simply a place where children feel good. We hope that you will feel a special atmosphere that Sienkiewicz found here.

Our own favorite place is the garden. It reminds us of an old park. The trees such as ash, larch, spruce, beech and an extraordinary hexagram linden are over 100 years old. There is also a historic little chapel, that was drawn by a well-known Polish artist Witkiewicz. For the best view of the chapel it is recommended you see it from Karlowicza street.

Feel free to make a fire, the place is safe and secured. All the fire and garden utensils (fire sticks, a pot, a poker, an ax, a wooden table, 2 sunbeds) are stored in a glazed garden gazebo.

Kornilowicz's history

It all started with our gran, grandfather professor Edward Kornilowicz that bought and re-built the house in 1896. He loved Tatras and in order to protect the mountains from developers he was buying tiny land plots from sherpas, His son Tadeusz, was equally passionate about Tatras. He was an active ecologist, a sherpa, a speleologist and a TOPR mountain rescuer.

Just before War World I the house was a home to Bronislaw Pilsudski, a prominent ethnologist, a Joseph brother. The house also hosted famous biologist Tytus Chalubinski, an artist Stanislaw Witkiewicz or a writer Henryk Sienkiewicz.

Now the house continues hosting you, amateurs of extraordinary places 😊

If you seek history, past years atmosphere, modern comfort or a place where your kids could feel well, Kornilowiczowka is the place. We wish you can find the house the way Sienkiewicz did.

We give you the house exclusively, which means that you cook yourself. There is no problem with getting groceries, the nearest shop is 300 meters from the house. But if you were not particularly eager to cook dinner, we recommend:


1. Karczma Marzanna "U Ryśka" (400 meters)
2. Tavern Burniawa (right next to the house)
3. Karczma Nosalowy Dwór

and many others...

Korśmieowiczówka is located right next to the Tatra National Park and the very location makes it impossible to get bored. Only a 20-minute walk (5 minutes by car / taxi) is from here to Kuźnice (the bottom station of the Kasprowy Wierch cable car). A few steps away you can eat well (inn Marzanna, inn Burniawa, Restaurant Regionalna Nosalowy Dwór). There are also well-equipped grocery stores nearby.

Near:
- ski lifts
- mass of kilometers to go on mountain trails
- aqua park

But if you are going to Zakopane, you probably know very well that it is not boring.

We have prepared the house so that in case of bad weather it becomes an attraction itself. We have a very large garden, fireplace, cauldron and grate for baking delicacies. A large hut among old trees will provide entertainment not only to the youngest. In the evenings, your time will be made more pleasant by games and books on the subject of the Tatra Mountains. You will be fine here.

We have children ourselves, so we know what they need. Kids usually play in a large garden, climb trees, sit in a hut, use swings or toys at home. There are so many things happening in Zakopane that they come back home full of impressions and adventures. The mission of promoting love for the mountains usually succeeds in Korśmieowiczówka :)
