It is like this: a country road full of cobblestones, fallow deer and roe deer run across meadows, and we are standing between the Siecino and Dołgie lakes, in the Drawsko Lakeland. Once a sign here said Groß Grunow, now it is Gronowo and it looks as if time stopped here in the interwar period. You will find us near Zlocieniec, which is part of Ostoja Drawska, so the bird radio plays on high frequencies here.
Under a 60-year old linden tree stands the estate snuggled in a garden and an orchard smelling of fruit trees. We preserve what our land produces in jars - mushrooms, pumpkins and apples are preserved in jars. Provisions for cold times. At the end of the orchard, you can sneak through a small gate into the nearby forest. In peace and quiet, you can watch the forest animals and listen to the croaking of frogs and the calls of various species of birds. Walk a few steps further and you will hear the murmur of a stream not far from the Rakoń river.
We have an old red brick house with apartments with a fireplace, peace and quiet. You are welcome at any time of the year because in Gronowo there is no better or worse weather. Only the colours change. It is green, then red and yellow, then white, and finally green again. And so on and so forth. It's great for us. The food tastes better here, the sleep is better and the people are just plain nice.
The settlement consists of two buildings - the one in which you will live is a red brick house renovated with care, with 3 6-person apartments, and our house is located opposite it. In the yard, we have created a place with benches and tables under the umbrella, where you can eat meals outdoors. In the garden there is a fireplace waiting for you with a grate, benches around and a table at which you can sit.
At your disposal are 3 spacious apartments, each for 4-6 people.

At a distance of about 4 km from Gronowo, you can see the remains of an ancient settlement, specifically a cemetery with barrow tombs.
The attractions of the region are clean lakes and hiking trails. Siecino Lake is about 6 km from Osada and can be reached by bike. Swimming, sailing and scuba diving await you in first-class water on site. The lake has two islands: Kępa and the island of Ostrów connected to the mainland by a causeway. There is no shortage of berths and charming bays, so sailors, sailors and windsurfers will be satisfied.

Anglers can rest easy. Almost all species of lake fish can be found here, and thanks to many fishing footbridges, you can easily indulge in your passion. The lake is one big quiet zone, so combustion engines are not here.

Closer to us is Lake Dołgie with a wild beach and fishing opportunities. In the waters of the lake there are, among others, pike, perch and bream.
The surrounding mixed forests are full of mushrooms and berries. A great attraction of the village is the breeding of fallow deer and roe deer. These cute animals can be admired from a very short distance. Impressive antlers, a large herd and a rut - it's impressive!
