Targoszówka - Stary Dom

There are several farms in Polana Wielkie Błoto, surrounded by a forest. One of them is Targoszówka - a habitat consisting of three buildings: the barn which is our home, the Old Barn and the Old House. The Old House measures 120 m2. They say that it is a typical "grandmother's house" - it is idyllic and rural. We have restored the ground floor, keeping as much as possible of the original, so sometimes the clay crumbles here and there, and its crumbs fall off the walls painted with lime and land on the floor. This is our atmosphere. On the ground floor there is a kitchen, a living room, two corridors, a bathroom and a bedroom with a double bed and its own bathroom. We have also arranged the attic, which now houses two comfortable bedrooms (each with one double bed and one single bed). A small hall in the attic is a great place to relax for kids on rainy days. Long mornings smoothly turning into lazy afternoons can be spent on the covered porch or in the yard in front of the cottage. You will also find a place for a bonfire with grill. On the terrace there is a table with chairs, there is also a hammock, sun loungers and two rocking chairs.

You can laze around with us or explore the forest. Homely entertainment reigns here - we have golf clubs and badminton equipment, and on our 3 hectares you can lay down on a blanket among the grass, sunbathe on a deckchair or have a family picnic. In the habitat, time flows differently, and the nature around is amazing and attracts the attention of even stubborn townspeople. We are in the heart of the forest, and thus we have the best possible conditions for exploring it. The Niepołomice Forest is littered with trails and roads, both gravel and asphalt. You can visit it by bike or on foot. We recommend you to take a trip to Czarny Staw, located in the eastern part of the Forest (about 11 km from the cottage). According to our calculations, it takes (for us) 36 minutes to get there by bike, and about 2 hours one way on foot. There are several pools in the vicinity of Targoszówka, pleasing to the eye, but you cannot bathe in them, we warn you. However, if on a warm day you want to cool down, you can go to the Bobrowe Rozlewisko (around 20 minutes by bike). It is a reservoir prepared with the locals and tourists in mind, there is a guarded beach, a restaurant, a park of attractions for children, and outdoor exercise equipment for adults. There is also a separate pool for anglers where they can indulge in their hobby in peace. Admission is paid. It is also a stone's throw from our habitat to Niepołomice itself (in this case it is 8 km). There, it is worth seeing the castle, where the kings stopped when they came to the forest for hunting. Niepołomice can also be of interest to cyclists and cycling enthusiasts - here the picturesque bicycle route begins (or ends), which leads along the Vistula river, from Niepołomice through Krakow, to the Tyniec Abbey. One way trip is about 40 km. You can always jump from the Forest to the city - Krakow is a 20-minute drive from us. It is also close to the salt mines in Wieliczka and Bochnia, so our place is also a good starting point for exploring the wonders of Małopolska.
