It was supposed to be a house in Kazimierz, but Kazimierz doesn't look like Cornwall in the summer. It did not snow as much in winter as in Zyndaki. There was no such orchard in Kazimierz with old apple trees and a million mirabelle plums, and no such hill overlooking the valley and two lakes like here.
We named the estate "Niedziela". From the old name of our town in Prussian times - Sontag and this big city dream that someday "Sunday will be for us". In the barn, we hung a chandelier, put sofas, easels, looms and passed on to it our love for fabrics, weaving and creation. We built a clay oven in the garden. We have a large table in the kitchen. Couch under the trees. Gazebo and terraces.
You will find here a lot of space and sensual impressions - 6 hectares of wild meadows smelling with herbs, a view of the phenomenal valley and vast hills, an old orchard with a spring aroma of flowers on fruit trees and the busy buzzing of bees, over the fields with larks, and under the forest and in the valley of the cranes' clangour, the croaking of frogs in the estate's pond, the soothing murmur of a stream in the ravine, and in autumn the smell of leaves and mushrooms, the sound of the forest and the taste of organic apples...
It's Sunday here every day. Whatever you want - lazy, active, family, lonely and among friends. There is room and space for everything. And so Sunday is finally for us. And for you.
The house is situated on a hill, it looks over the valley, and on both sides of it there are lakes in the silence zone connected by the shyly beginning Krutynia. We are 500 meters from the nearest neighbors.
You can sleep in the house exclusively (groups) or in rooms.
There are 5 rooms for guests, each of a slightly different character. Each with its own bathroom.
The rooms downstairs have a lot of old brick and old wood upstairs.
1. On the ground floor
- Clouds in the sky - with a separate exit to the backyard garden. It has wicker armchairs necessary to catch the atmosphere, an old brick wall and a lot of space. There is a comfortable double bed 180x200, which can be easily converted into 2 single beds, and a fold-out sofa.
- Joy in the morning - with a double bed 180x200 (can be converted into 2 single beds) and a sofa bed, a kilim on a brick wall and your own terrace.
2. Upstairs
- Blooming apple trees - intimate, double, with a wall made of old larch logs, with a large window and a view of the orchard
- Wild meadows - intimate, double room with an atmospheric wall made of old larch logs, looking at the slope drowning in herbs, grasses, flowers ...
-Green hills - a four-person room (it can accommodate 6 people, but we prefer to treat it as a comfortable four), divided into two parts: in the main part two single beds that can be easily pushed together and form a double 180x200 and a comfortable fold-out sofa, and in the annex with a window, behind the curtain to make it more intimate and cozy, also two single beds.
Each room has its own bathroom with a shower cabin.
We spend our free time in so many places that there is a suitable space for everyone. We are:
- in the kitchen and dining room and on the spacious terrace. They are located in one friendly space and, as it usually happens, everything that is important is happening right at the table. New acquaintances, meetings of friends and wine or our liqueurs in the evening ...
There are also quiet places:
- on couches under the trees, in a secluded place in the orchard, where you can be alone with yourself ...
- on the sunny terrace, on the sun loungers and by the pond
- in the garden, where there is a clay oven where you can make the best pizza east of Milan :)
- in Kreatywna Barn. For creative souls and for creative children (and who are not :) there are coloring books and crayons, cutouts and architectural blocks. And there is still plenty of room to sit on sofas and seats. Here you can calm down, enjoying the view of the phenomenal valley, reading books from the habitat library, browsing interesting old magazines.
We do not cook in Siedlisko. Sunday. But we have a nice kitchen with a large table where magical things happen if you want. From morning coffee to evening wine.
If you wish (in the spring and summer season, upon prior reservation :) - we will prepare a welcome basket of local products for you, including pure good:
- eggs from happy chickens
- cheese made from local rural (goat or cow) milk
- local fish and smoked meats
- great bread
- our home-made preserves
- delicious honey from the local apiary
In the afternoons, you can make a pizza in the garden, sprinkle it with herbs from the garden, then put a cake with rhubarb or raspberries that grow under the house ...
We also have a small KRAMIK for you - here you can buy our preserves, which we make from organic fruit of our old orchard, dandelion juices and elderberry flowers that bloom in our wild meadows, truly natural fruit and herbal teas, delicious honey, traditional and flavored from a friendly Masurian apiary, sometimes bread or cake to order ... and various other delicacies or curiosities, depending on the current possibilities :)
To our guests who are looking for the flavors of the region, we recommend:
- delicious and varied food in the local restaurant "We Młynie" with a gift minus 10% of the bill
- Berta's inn in Święta Lipka
- excellent cheeses in the nearby Frontier Ranch - do not come home without them :)
- delicious eggs from the green legged farm "Pod Rooster"
You should be a bit bored here. You come here for a reset, getting away from the hustle and bustle of everyday tasks and goals, stopping on the run, calming down, collecting your thoughts, tasting life, being in a slow motion ... to being here and now ...
You walk, have, meditate, relax, and even, if you want, you can massage yourself or order a session with a coach to reflectively look at the problems of everyday life :)
But if you have energy and will, we suggest:
- Kreatywna Stodoła where we hang out, realizing ourselves creatively. You can sit here for hours - also for relaxation, for doing nothing :), hiding from the sun or rain, reading, chatting or enjoying the phenomenal view of the valley ...
- Magic evenings by a burning fire, under a starry sky.
- Meditations on couches and a pier over the pond.
- In the nearby Mrągowo you can still hear country sounds. Apart from the festival, each summer weekend is a new concert and lots of attractions, sometimes fairs, fairs ..
- Be sure to visit Święta Lipka - here is a beautiful Marian sanctuary with miraculous organs, presentations of pieces and moving figures, and every summer Friday there are classical music concerts. Then, after impressions for the soul, you can come to the regional, deliciously cooking Berta Tavern, to satisfy your body too :)
- On Saturdays, it is worth taking a trip to the local ecological market in Jeziorany.
- You have to go to the nearby Frontier Ranch - they make delicious, almost legendary cheeses there - you must taste it and buy it obligatorily :) and ask for a tour of the farm, maybe you will also get a piano concert with wine.
- History lovers - see Hitler's bunker and the almost fully preserved medieval town of Reszel, Polish Carcassonne.
- Water sports enthusiasts - in Mrągowo and Mikołajki there are sailboats, water bikes, and in winter iceboats.
- In winter, visit the ski slope in Mrągowo or cross-country skiing on our hills.
- In summer, focus on the best rafting trip on the Krutynia River in Poland - start in the nearby Sorkwity.
There are also shelves full of books and magazines waiting for you: but there is no TV :)
What’s there for children?
We don't have any special animations, not even a playground. But there is a garden and wild meadows - a great place for bucking, playing and stalking. For kids, we also have a Creative Barn with prepared coloring books, cutouts, crayons and wooden architectural blocks, which adults also like to play. For creative older children, we have looms and frames here, on which, during the ordered, additionally paid workshops, they can develop their creative passions. Little guests like to make their own pizza and pick raspberries. They will be fine here, as it is in the countryside.
