Welcome to Karkonosze - to our Mountain Retreat!
Luxurious Chalets
Our Chalets are a fulfillment of wishes and suggestions of our guests. Fully equipped kitchen, damask linen, towels, firewood for the fireplace – all included in price. The only thing missing is some provisions & coffee (coffee machine awaits) 
. We made our Chalets as we ourselves would prefer to live – simple, yet comfy – take a look at the pictures.
Pets
If your family includes furry creatures, and dogs, cats, guinea pigs, rabbits or hamsters are integral part of it, rest assured that every pet will be welcomed in our Mountain Chalets. There is garden and nearby meadows to run around, and maybe new friendships can be made? Our family includes two dogs and two cats, and they might try to pay you a visit . Please remember though, that sofa & beds are sleeping places for humans only
Beautiful, quiet surroundings
Yet a Mountain Chalet would not be complete without some mountains And those are just a moment away. 300 meters from our place starts National Park of Karkonosze Mountains. Probably this is why we have so many satisfied guests, and that must be one of the reasons why some of them keep coming back to us – to the serenity of our place. To those forest trails, mountain hiking paths, quiet streams, autumn colors and interesting places around us.

Our Chalets
What you will find upon arrival...
All three chalets have the same floor plan. Each chalet has 75m2 of living space prepared for your comfort and convenience. They are planned and equipped for a comfortable stay of 4 to maximum 6 persons.
They are heated by wood burning fire-place with hot air circulation. Price includes supply of wood, and beginners course of „how to start the fire quickly & well” 🙂 . If requested, we can start the fire for you. After 15 years of living here and using the fireplace as a main heat source, we’ve picked up some experience… Main room with fireplace will create the special atmosphere of a cosy, safe home. Staring into a flickering fire will let you forget about the hectic pace of modern life. From our personal experience we can add that snow & rain outside improve by about 80% the positive psychological impact of a burning fireplace 🙂 .
Additional hint for improving the mood – a glass of wine for adults or bowl of popcorn for the kids coming from the fully equipped kitchen annex. On the bottom floor you will find the bathroom with shower, towels, and other bathing paraphernalia.
On the upper floor there are 2 separate bedrooms ensuring maximum privacy. One has a king-size bed, and the other has 2 separate beds that optionally can be joined to create 1 big bed (but please remember that those are still 2 beds).
Amenities:
For Your Comfort – Towels and comfy linen, wood for fireplace
For Entertainment – LCD TV, satellite TV, DVD, WiFi access.
For Relaxation – 2 bedrooms on upper floor, and comfy fold-out couch in front of the fireplace (in total accommodation for 6). Garden furniture set on the terrace.
For Your Taste – kitchen with ceramic heating plate, fridge, electric kettle, dishwasher, microwave oven, coffee maker, cutlery, china, cups, pots & pans – just about like home. Go ahead and unleash your chef’s potential! For those not wanting to spend time cooking, local pizzas are available, a neighboring motel can provide full board, and just down the road (500m down) you can find a country home restaurant. At this time we do not offer meals.
For Taste Outdoors – there is a grill outside, separate for each chalet.
For Fitness – Karkonosze Mountains welcome you, and we ask for no smoking inside the chalets. We think this may actually benefit everybody involved 🙂
Four-legged friends – Pets are welcome too! We hope they will find common language with our pets (ours are living in a separate, fenced area). Right outside you will find the perfect meadow, ideal for running, rolling, fetching and other sports. For the sake of local, abundant wildlife we strongly recommend using a leash when walking in the National Park.
Some funny facts…. 🙂

Local Attractions
We think that your visit in Karkonosze Mountains should go well beyond cosy couch in the front of the fireplace! According to some sources, first ever in the world, mountain-guide association was established in 1817 in... yes! In Karkonosze Mountains (called at the time Riesengebirge, in German - Giant Mountains). Our valley, known as Valley of Gardens & Palaces, has highest density of palaces & castles per square kilometer in Europe. And that would probably make it in the world too 🙂 . Miles and kilometers of marked tourist paths for hiking and biking are starting just behind our fence - from our gate to the border of National Park of Karkonosze Mountains is maybe 200 meters. And skiing of course! Closest resort is called Szklarska Poręba, about 12km by car, after another 15km takes you to Harrachov (Czech Republic), and if you add another 25 you will end in Spindleruv Mlyn, major resort on other side of the border. Other popular skiing place is Karpacz, about 20 kms from us. Don't forget the cross country tracks! In Jakuszyce, 20km away, is 2nd most important Polish cross country skiing centre, which doubles as capital of Polish husky dogs races. But this is just the beginning of what our area offers to visitors. For comfort of youngest ones we can lend you a hikers baby-carrier (model KOALA, Neverland brand, up to 20kg baby's weight).
