Stryszawa is located near Sucha Beskidzka, in the Maków Beskids. A small, undulating town where folk toys have been made since the 19th century. Wooden carriages, ambulances, cradles, cassettes, wheelbarrows, rattles, horses, ladder carts, merry-go-rounds and staves are hand-painted in the colours of the rainbow by toymakers from families such as the Klimasar, Leśniak and Lachs. Somewhere between Stryszawa and Zawoja, at the end of the dirt path in Bartoszki, there is a patch of heaven at the end of the world. A hundred-year-old, shingled house where time has stood still. It has a view of the Jałowieckie range, and the view is undisturbed because it is 700 m above sea level.
We found him at the most unfortunate time. Our hunter friend told us about a fabulous place an hour from Krakow and in the middle of nowhere. It was October, there were no views and a neglected cottage. It was cruel, but we fell in love at first sight. In this amazing energy, in silence, at home with a past, with new perspectives. And those angels. We believe they live here. They fill every corner, surround them with care. Obviously, not only us but one of our guests - Mrs Clairvoyant, confirmed their presence. Believe it or not, this is where you can meet them.
We arranged Przytulia with great tenderness. It was our heart that dictated how to do this. It was supposed to be like on a country vacation at grandma's. Waxed wooden furniture, starched linen sticks in the windows, stiff tablecloths on the tables. Porcelain with pink flowers, rugs and paintings of the area hand-painted by Wiesia. The goal was achieved. After the renovation, I brought my mother here, who was amazed that we had recreated the atmosphere of the old Małopolska village. We are proud of this.
We invite you to the most democratic place in this part of the country. There is space for expressing emotions and long conversations around the fire or tiled stove. There is yeast dough, which I bake using the old method and home cooking with sides. There are two apartments with separate entrances, colourful Stryszawa birds, ice water from the well, breakfast in the yard and pots on the fence.
There are fireflies in the summer that light up a corner where only the stars and the moonshine. In the winter, there's snow up to your armpits. Good energy all year round. We invite you, let Przytulia soothe you to sleep.
In a more than 100-year-old house, which hugs you from the moment you enter and introduces you to idyllic, rural life. We tried to make everything here like grandma's 100 years ago. There are pots on the fence, country flowers, benches, a table in the garden, a well with crystal water, a porch, starched linen curtains and curtains at the windows, and tablecloths and napkins stiff with starch. We have a maximum of 6 beds for you in two apartments with separate entrances, if it is exclusive, then there are no other guests here.
The "Angel" apartment with a view of the garden is located on the ground floor and is available for 3 people. It has an entrance from the garden through a porch, a hall, a sitting room with hundred-year-old furniture, a table, chairs, a comfortable bed in the living room and a small bookcase. It has a bathroom with a shower and a separate bedroom. It has a double bed (180 cm), a bedside table, a view of the mountains.
Apartment "Gallery on the first floor" suitable for 2 to 3 people. there are 3 wooden single beds 90 cm wide, bedside tables, a chest of drawers, a table with chairs, a bookshelf, a bathroom with a shower. By the room there is a niche with a table for working at a computer or for reading, a gallery of oil paintings painted by the host of the house.
On the ground floor you have a "blue kitchen" which is shared by two apartments. Here you can prepare delicious, traditional dishes.
You can choose Przytulia or Fairy-tale house "Sojdówka" - an exclusive house. It has 120 m2 - it is located in Przytulia's garden (separated by a wooden fence). All amenities like in Przytula. The house is designed for 6-7 people and has: a large living room with a well-equipped kitchen, two closed and one open bedrooms, two bathrooms, a terrace with a beautiful view of the mountains.
Przytulia is located at an altitude of 700 m above sea level, surrounded by forests, hiking trails and walking paths. We have a limited cell phone range, so no one will bother you, we don't have a TV, but there is fiber and the internet is very good.
There are a few rules in our house that you are subject to while living in Przytulia:
Leave your shoes at the entrance. We walk around the house barefoot or in home slippers - wooden floors give very good energy, warmth and atmosphere.
Remember to segregate waste. The environment is a common good.
Three very friendly dogs live in Przytulia. Black, long-haired Wiki, German Shepherd, sweet Kropeczka, and the youngest Popi.
Bring your pets, we'll hug them too.
We adhere to the principle that without breakfast it makes no sense, preferably in the garden with a view of the mountains. Lunch is also a holy thing, always home from the heart. We cook everything we serve ourselves, we use local products and we do not darken it. We recommend taking advantage of our hospitality, and then in the morning we will serve you a breakfast buffet with pancakes, pancakes, scrambled eggs on smoked bacon, home-made meats, soft-boiled and hard-boiled eggs, salads, cheese, pate, tomatoes, tea, coffee and other drinks.
For lunch, we can cook vegetarian or completely traditional. The vegetable option may include vegetable cream, cabbage, mushroom and potato patties, groats, beetroots with horseradish, compote, then a carrot cake and a glass of tincture for good digestion. The meat on the table is sour soup with egg and potatoes, roast in real sauce, groats roasted in butter, a set of salads, yeast dough made using the traditional method, compote and a glass of tincture invariably in both options.
We serve meals at specific times. It is possible to adjust them flexibly so that you have the opportunity to freely use your time, but let us know in advance what your plan is.
You can, of course, cook yourself, because you have a “blue kitchen” shared by two apartments at your disposal. It is fully equipped, with a table, fridge, sideboard, stove, sink, tables, kettle, coffee machine, dishes and glassware.
You can also light a fire near the forest.
What we like the most is walking in the surrounding forests and accidentally stumble upon something beautiful. A view of the mountains, old trees, hares and deer scurrying away from prying eyes, cows carelessly grinding grass, Wilderness and sunsets, which are wonderful here. We live at the end of the World, on a wonderful piece of Heaven. We pride ourselves on the landscape of the Beskids, a direct view of Jałowiec, Jaworzyna, Kiczora and Skrzyczne, silence in which you can hear the work of bees and the lack of mosquitoes. Fireflies delight, crickets play. There is unimaginable silence and darkness. We have very clean air. At night, only the moon and stars illuminate hearts. Such are the luxuries. We love to sit on the terrace with coffee or tincture, treat you with cake and chat.

By the fire, which is located near the forest, you can sing and make noise. The guests talk and their joy and happiness are in the air. It is a place with very good energy and healing power.
There is no TV in Przytulia and there will be no TV. You come to us to be with yourself, your loved ones and other people. Enjoy the closeness and listen to your own heart. It's very romantic here.
Bring party games, a good book (you can also borrow it from me) and crossword puzzles.
Around fantastic hiking trails - gentle and charming. Babia Góra is also nearby, 15 km from us.
Of course, a place that proudly guards our tradition, i.e. the Beskid Wooden Toys Center in Stryszawa. It is here that you will learn the history of wooden birds, storks, horses made of various types of wood, delighting with the richness of colors and variety of shapes. In the Toys Center you will see old patterns of folk toys, you will learn the principles of their creation and people - artists who have been creating them with passion for generations. You will also be able to take part in folklore workshops, during which you will create your own handicraft.
Every year on the first weekend of June in Stryszawa, the Festival of Folk Toys is also organized, during which competitions, fairs of folk art and handicrafts, shows of disappearing professions, etc. are organized. .
It's beautiful in winter. We have a lot of snow, hills around the houses for sledding and walking paths. There is a ski lift and a pontoon track 600m from us. There are also ski lifts in nearby Zawoja. This is where we direct skiers and snowboarders. You will find several ski slopes here, including one really fancy, quite steep and for rather advanced players - Mosorny Groń. From this mighty mountain there are fantastic views of Babia Góra, and with good visibility also of the Tatra Mountains. For beginners and intermediates, there is the Wojtek and Baca slope, where you can hire an instructor and learn to ride without excessive stress.
What’s there for children?
Children in Przytulia are doing wonderful. They march along dirt roads in search of cows, collect flowers in the meadow to weave wreaths from them, help in watering flowers around the house, create new patterns of Stryszawa birds, play stalking games, build bases, organize picnics in the garden, bake a sand cake in a sandbox and they climb the peaks behind the house. In winter it is known that sleds, sleds, downhill rides, snowmen, snow walls to hide from snowballs and sleigh rides with parents as workhorses. Then home-made bun and cocoa and stories of what it was like 100 years ago.
We direct seekers of intense sensations to Energyland. It's not far, 40 minutes away, and a whole day of fun is guaranteed.
For children, we have a wooden cot, changing table, baby bath, high chair, and a stroller adapted to driving along forest paths.
What’s there for employees?
The fairy-tale house is exclusive to you, so you have peace of mind for work included in the price. In the living room you will find a large round table with an amazing view of the mountains. We warn you that the view may cause an increased number of interruptions in your work. In the bedroom there is a second table, so everyone will find a comfortable place here. The work on the terrace is also already checked by our guests.
Przytulia has two separate entrances to the apartments - thanks to this, they can be rented separately (but we recommend renting for one family). There are tables in each of the apartments, and in addition, in the common blue kitchen we have a table for working and snacking on something delicious between meetings. Between the apartments and the kitchen one more extra table. In the garden, however, there are 3 tables, which in the summer are the favorite place for remote work of our guests.
