The news about the area around Istebna spreads among cyclists and two-wheel enthusiasts like a rumor. Those who like smooth roads located on hills come here - inconspicuous at first glance, but still giving their calves a good workout. There are also those who prefer mountain pedaling, i.e. MTB. The dose of adrenaline and beautiful views waiting for the most persistent ones at the top of the mountain means that the group of admirers of this area is constantly growing. And that's how it grew to include us too. Neil is a long time MTB enthusiast and I am a people lover. The first race and we were sold straight away. Neil was enchanted by the unique routes that connect with Czech and Slovak paths, and I was enchanted by the surroundings, people and the wonderful aura of the place. After our first visit, we came here regularly. In 2015, we bought our private house and started meeting the locals. We made friends with our neighbors, native Beskid highlanders. Each visit to Istebna was like a vacation for us: we returned with clear heads and lots of good energy. All this gave us the strength and courage to fulfill our dream of running a guest house. We invite mountain lovers, hiking enthusiasts, and fans of two wheels. The trail is a stone's throw from us, and if you want to try your hand at the world of MTB, you can rent a bike from us. Neil will take you on his beautiful routes and share his passion. In the evening you can relax in the sauna and on the terrace overlooking the towering spruce trees. Come to Istebna!

Host:
Monika i Piotr
We have been connected with Istebna and the Tricity (Istebna, Koniaków and Jaworzynka) for about 9 years. I come from eastern Mazowsze (from the small village of Nowy Bartkow) while Neil is Scottish, coming from Edinburgh. Neil has been connected to Poland since the 90s, and we have been making our home together in Poland for a long time. We have travelled the world and are trying to use the experience we have gained to run the guesthouse. From Monday to Thursday, you - our guests - and the house are taken care of by our hostess Ira - a woman with a heart on her hand and great cooking talent, and Basia - a specialist in delicious breakfasts. We (Neil and I) are usually at the Villa from Thursday to Sunday. We plan to settle permanently in Istebna next year.

In a charming, almost 100-year-old villa located in a Beskid village, famous for its beautiful views and wonderful bicycle routes (and more). We welcome adults and young people over 10 years of age. We are happy to host younger children during the winter break. Zwolakówka is located on the main road leading south. We have 7 rooms in our guesthouse: - two standard double rooms - "standard" - two larger double rooms - "de Luxe" - two double rooms with a sofa on which another person can sleep - "double 2+1" - one family for 2 adults and 2 children - "family". Each room has a bathroom equipped with a shower, a hairdryer and basic cosmetics (shower gel, shampoo, soap). There is a shared fridge and microwave in the corridor. There is also a lockable room in the house that serves as a bicycle storage room in summer and a ski room in winter. The common areas include a large living room divided into zones so that everyone has a piece of space for themselves. There is a fireplace, comfortable armchairs and a large table where you can play board games and work. At the back of the property we have a garden with terraces, lounge furniture, deckchairs, a place for a bonfire and a barbecue. We also encourage you to use the relaxation area with a sauna overlooking the forest and a terrace overlooking the towering spruce trees. This zone is located in an old barn, which we transformed into a unique place. We have arranged a living room with comfortable armchairs and a fireplace, there is also a bathroom, a small kitchen, a mezzanine with fatboy seats and a terrace with deckchairs. We reserve the barn exclusively for a given room/group (it is additionally paid). The house is very warm, we have central heating that is on all year round. We recommend it for those who are cold. We have fiber-optic internet, so we recommend Zwolakówka as a place suitable for remote work and learning. Important: for fire safety reasons, it is prohibited to use heaters, toasters, electric irons and other similar devices that are not part of the room equipment in the rooms, and it is also prohibited to smoke and use open flames throughout the facility.

Only local delicacies! We rely on eggs from our neighbors and homemade meats from Mr. Piotr. We also have our own small garden, so chives, lettuce, dill and other herbs come from us (in season, of course). We serve breakfast in the form of a very varied buffet. Our housewives prepare delicious delicacies: fritters, delicate pancakes, "French toast a'la Zwolakówka", eggs on toast, green sandwiches. We also try to bake homemade rolls if time allows. For breakfast we offer our homemade jams made from currants that grow in the garden and berries from our forest. We collect and dry a lot of herbs and serve healthy infusions. We also offer breakfast options for vegans, vegetarians and gluten-free people - please let us know your preferred diet on the day of booking. Homemade cakes, fruit, coffee from an espresso machine, a selection of teas, water and juices are available in the dining room throughout the day. We can recommend several pubs in the area: - Karczma Po Zbóju, 5 minutes away. on foot from Zwolakówka. – traditional highland food (including delicious garlic soup and crispy pancakes), - Karczma Ochodzita in Koniaków with beautiful views (in good weather you can see the Tatra Mountains), - Złoty Groń restaurant located on the top of the Złoty Groń mountain, in the hotel of the same name.

For those who want a bit of boredom, there is a large, comfortable living room with armchairs, sofas and a chaise longue. You can stare at the burning fire in the fireplace, read a book, talk to friends. There is also a garden where you can take advantage of the good weather and recharge your batteries with vitamin D. But you don't have to be bored, because there are plenty of cures for boredom on site and in the surrounding area. At location: - relaxation zone with a sauna, which you reserve exclusively for yourself. This zone is located in a renovated barn, which has a comfortable living room, a small kitchen and bathroom, and a terrace where you can cool off after a sauna session and admire the starry sky. A bit of pleasure for the body and a good idea for spending a pleasant evening for two or gossiping with friends or relaxing after a day spent in the mountains; - a terrace with a pergola where you can not only laze around, but also organize a barbecue or light a bonfire; - high-class MTB bikes for rent. The host is passionate about MTB and will be happy to take you on one of his favorite routes to show you how much fun you can get from this sport. Additionally, he provides technical tips, so you can learn something. Nearby, at the Srebrny Bucznik Hotel, you can take advantage of the offer of massages and body treatments.  In the area: Trójwieś Istebna-Koniaków-Jaworzynka is an ideal place for hiking, cycling and admiring wildlife. There are plenty of trails to choose from, and the closest ones (to Stożek) are accessible directly from the neighboring forest. We are also close to Barania Góra. Along the way, you can stop for a small (or large) snack at the Przysłop pod Barania Górą or Stożek shelters. In winter, you can also go classic or cross-country skiing. The nearest Zagroń and Złoty Groń ski lifts are located approximately 1.5 km from Zwolakówka. The cross-country skiing routes on Kubalonka are approximately 4 km from the Villa. Maps of hiking and cycling routes are available in Zwolakówka, and we are always happy to advise you. We also recommend other interesting places in Trójwieś: - Shepherding center in Koniaków - Lace Museum in Koniaków - Maria Gwarek Memorial Room - Regional Museum on Grapa - Jan Kawulok's cottage in Istebna - Jerzy Kukuczka Memorial Room in Istebna - Tripoint - the meeting point of the borders of Poland, the Czech Republic and Slovakia.

What’s there for children?

We do not have attractions for children. We're honest - our place suits adults more than children. Peace and quiet reign here. We invite slightly older children (from the age of 14) to Zwolakówka. They have good conditions for rest here: there is a yard, and nearby are ski slopes and hiking trails, which they will certainly be able to cope with easily.

The soft sofas in the common space are perfect for making yourself at home with a laptop, and the deep armchairs will provide you with the highest level of work comfort. However, if your physiotherapist has ordered you to work at the table, you will also find a harder place for six people here. In each room there is a small table where you can send urgent e-mails. After delicious breakfasts, you can use the dining room, where you can work at single tables without disturbing the person next to you. If you are chasing a deadline and need a moment of concentration, you can go to the barn, which is heated.

To dowód na to, że duszę danego miejsca stanowią ludzie. Przemili, troskliwi i otwarci. Na szczęście nie narzucający się, co dla introwertyków jest istotne. Śniadanie: przepyszne! I mówię to jako osoba wybredna. Widać że naturalne składniki i domowe przetwory robione są z myślą o tym, by zaczynało się dzień najlepiej jak się da. Bardzo łatwy dojazd (chociaż GPS pokazuje sąsiadów). Strefa relaksowa jest jak z moich snów: kominek, wygodne fotele i leżanka, a do tego klimatycznie to wszystko urządzone.

Kochani nooo dziękujemy bardzo za cudowny pobyt wielkanocny. Czuliśmy się u Was świetnie! Pokój był bardzo wygodny (dziękujemy za upgrade, byliśmy zaszczyceni 🥹), śniadanie miód malina no i te ciasta Moniki to poezja! Byliście świetnymi doradcami jeśli chodzi o lokalne trasy, a wisienka na torcie była wizyta u Pani Cecylii Kukuczka ale to już opowiemy przy następnej wizycie ☺️ Dzięki również za niekończące się rozmowy w kuchni i mega miłe towarzystwo Wasze (uściski dla Emilki również) i pozostałych gości których serdecznie pozdrawiamy (Weronika, Piotr oraz Sylwia i Tomek). Pies Wilson również dziękuję za gościnność i tym samym pozdrawia Frodo oraz Gordona. No to do następnego? 😌

Miejsce nie było przypadkowe gdyż już wcześniej o nim słyszałam. Nie rozczarowałam się ani o trochę a wręcz przeciwnie było jeszcze lepiej. Niepowtarzalny klimat i atmosfera, którą tworzy sama odrestaurowana Willa jak i Gospodarze zasługują na wielkie uznanie. Poczucie rozpieszczenia przez miejsce i ludzi więc cóż więcej chcieć, jak po prostu wracać do takich miejsc!
