Sielska Zagroda

In a wooden house smelling of the forest and the entire Białowieża Primeval Forest. We have two apartments for 3 people for you. Gawra Apartment with a sauna and the brand new Ptasi Zakątek Apartment, where a 2 + 2 family can fit. The Gawra Apartment is a place where you will feel the power of Podlasie, the atmosphere of a cozy home, a bit like at your grandma's in the countryside. 3 people will sleep inside. The apartment consists of a small kitchen, bathroom with shower and a living / sleeping area. The central point here is a large double bed, the comfort of which is said to be sung by songs. Next to it there is a single bed and a fireplace which does a good job of not only heating but also climate. A good book, movie or a cup of hot tea accompanied by crackling wood is a completely different experience that should be checked here. And when it is warm, instead of a fireplace, the Niemen placed in an old tower with a decent sound system is a great underlay. The Ptasi Zakątek apartment is our novelty. A sunny interior ensures peace, a separate bedroom with a double bed and a single bed gives you a break, and the kitchen gives independence. Designed for 3 adults or a family with two children (2 + 2). The apartment consists of a living room with a fully equipped kitchen (stove, fridge, microwave-grill, tableware), a bedroom with a double bed and a single bed closed with a sliding door, and a bathroom with towels for guests. The lounge has a round table for debates and a bench by the window, a comfortable armchair and plenty of space for dancing and board games. There is a green garden that can easily be called enchanted. You can sit there all day without embarrassment, and no one will judge you. Lie in a deckchair with an apple picked straight from the tree, take a nap in a swinging hammock or on a swing. In the large gazebo you can make a barbecue or a fire, and in the evening with a glass of wine you will see a firecracker sunset. There is a sauna waiting for you for your body and soul, where you warm up in winter, and then hop into the snow. In summer, of course, you can also, if someone does not have enough heat. We also have Nordic Walking bikes and poles at your disposal.

Bears only sleep in their lairs, ours is multi-purpose, because you can also cook here. In the apartment you will find a kitchenette with a stove, refrigerator, microwave-grill, dishes and cutlery. Now all you have to do is go shopping at the locals and cook something delicious. I have a friend in the countryside from whom I take fresh tomatoes, cucumbers, eggs from happy hens and other vegetables. From farmers I will get organic honey without artificiality and sugar, real butter or crispy, freshly baked country bread. In addition, they make delicious cheeses, various types of oils, regional beer from Hajnówka, or the "Spirit of the Puszczy" - Podlasie homemade dish. Every Wednesday in Hajnówka (4 km), a market is organized with practically everything that grandmothers from nearby villages come to. Guests coming to me often practice the so-called grilling and picnics. It's nice to eat outdoors, sit on the grass or in the gazebo and spread out the meal for a few good hours combined with interesting conversations, games or stories. And while waiting the fat will melt from the back of the neck or the potatoes are turned into ashes, you can nibble apples, plums and raspberries straight from the bush from my garden. Podlasie is characterized by delicious food, so you can eat regional delicacies nearby. I know several pubs in Hajnówka, Białowieża and Dubicze Cerkiewne, which I can recommend with a clear conscience. You can eat there local dumplings, potato sausage, potato cake, solyanka, pielmieni, Ukrainian borscht or marcinek cake.

You have plenty of attractions with us. Podlasie, even though it sounds inconspicuous, has all the artillery of attractions. It is a region famous for its bison, forest and Orthodox Church. When you come to us, you can prepare yourself for total rest, sightseeing or sports holidays. But it's best to combine these 3 options and charge your batteries to the max. Get on the bikes that are waiting for you on the spot and take advantage of the routes that the area offers. It is worth taking a ride along the Podlasie Stork Trail, the Trail of Orthodox Temples, the Podlasie Cultural Trail "Tree and Sacrum" or visit the famous Land of Open Shutters, about which we will tell more in a moment.
