A place that was created out of love. First to each other and then to an old house from 1928. There was no calculation if it was worth it. Like a bolt from the blue, our blind love for the old house in the clearing hit us, followed by making our wild dream of living close to nature a reality.
A place made for good sleep, relaxation, reading, writing and composing. Artistic souls come here, people so active that they do not take off their sports shoes, there are nice families with children, there are loners. Everyone comes back here. They say that they feel good, that they like to eat here, that they love the small details of the decor and the idea of a healthy life. They are not surprised that there is no TV set, they enjoy the silence and respect it, they feel the need to talk, appreciate the lack of it. They are surprised that this house is made of wood, clay, and straw. Everything sourced from the immediate vicinity. Healthy, natural, unprocessed, pleasing to the eye, healthy for the body, nutritious for the soul.
I invite you to a place with a constant exchange of energy. Guests come here for SOMETHING, leaving a piece of themselves behind. I repay you with hospitality, cuisine and people's curiosity. I am waiting for you in the wildest Polish mountains. By the lake.
Guests of Nasza Polana have at their disposal four cozy rooms located in the attic of the house. All partition walls are made using the clay-straw method based on hazel poles. The presence of clay plasters ensures ideal air humidity and affects peaceful sleep.
Gray room - a room with a bathroom, four sleeping places, which normally functions as a room for two. It is also ideal as a family room in a 2 + 2 arrangement. The windows face southeast.
Blue room - a room with a bathroom, with three sleeping places. Also ideal for two, but a family of 2 + 1 will also have a great rest in it. The windows face west.
Green room - a room, 2-person, with access to the bathroom next to the room. The advantage of this room is a beautiful, large terrace with a view of the meadows, fields, forests and mountains.
Swallow called a hole or a fisherman's house :-) - a tiny room with access to the bathroom downstairs, has a double bed. The room is perfect for one person, but many couples praise the sleep in this room. The view from the windows overlooks an old apple tree, where birds go wild in the summer.
The rooms are equipped with towels.
In my home, breakfasts are an important part of the day. I try to make dishes from local and unprocessed products. Cheeses and eggs are home-made, vegetables come partly from my garden. I also make various preserves myself, which I also serve during meals. These include jams, pickles, marinades. I also make vinegars and sometimes liqueurs myself.
Herbs are an important ingredient in the kitchen. Their aroma is a mandatory element of dishes. I appreciate their presence in meadows and flower beds. For years, I have been friends with nettle, mint, ground ivy, dandelion, thyme and oregano.
Dinners are served only in the autumn-winter season (from October to the end of May), but breakfasts are served all year round (included in the price of accommodation).
On a daily basis, I serve meatless, vegetarian cuisine. However, after prior and advance notice, I also prepare vegan and gluten-free meals.
Our Polana is the wild Beskid Niski. Its very heart. Here, for hikers and cyclists, there is no shortage of trails, both difficult and easier. The house is located on the black trail. Just put on your shoes, pack your provisions and go. For short-distance runners, there are paths in the forests, where there are animals, herbs and, in season, mushrooms.
In winter, Beskid Niski can be traversed on cross-country skis or ski tours. In the area (10-15 km) there are also ski lifts for downhill skiing. Do you want a sleigh ride? That can also be organized.
In addition, Beskid Niski is Lemkoland. So, beautiful wooden Orthodox churches, an open-air museum and Zagroda Maziarska are waiting for you. Visiting these places takes you to another time, allows you to get to know the history of the region, talk to people who cultivate the Lemko tradition to this day.
The ideal place to laze around is the Klimkówka Reservoir, also known as the Cold Hawaii, where you can surf and even try your hand at kitesurfing. There are kayaks and boats, as well as a guarded swimming area. Anglers with a valid card can also try their hand at this discipline.
After returning to Nasza Polana, you can read - we have a library available to guests, you can swing in a hammock, lie in the meadow, and admire the starry sky in the evening.
What’s there for children?
Nasza Polana is a place where guests come for peace and quiet. For this reason, I do not have any attractions specially prepared for them. I cordially invite children, but slightly older ones, i.e. from 7 years of age.
The area is safe. The area of Nasza Polana is not fenced, but the traffic on the village road is minimal.
What’s there for employees?
In two of the four rooms there are tables where you can work comfortably. Their advantage is privacy and a beautiful view from behind the window. However, if you prefer larger tables, we recommend a walk to the dining room near the kitchen. A table with wooden benches awaits you there. In the summer, we invite you to the yard, where, accompanied by fresh air and surrounded by green trees, work will immediately gain momentum.
