Description
We are a family with two children: myself (Magda), my husband Wojtek, and our kids - Hela, who is 8 years old, and Gucio, who is 3. Our home is nestled in the picturesque Drawsko Lake District, located in the northern part of Poland, approximately 80 km from the Baltic Sea. Surrounded by numerous lakes and breathtaking views, it's a haven for nature lovers.
In addition to running a farm, we are also engaged in other professional endeavors. However, our most exciting project began two years ago - glamping.
Our glamping site is situated in a rather remote location, adjacent to forests and fields, with its own charming pond. Typically, we are not present on-site (due to work commitments), so if you decide to join us, you'll mostly have autonomous tasks and plenty of time to relax and unwind in the beautiful surroundings. We gather once daily in the evenings.
Our lives are filled with creative DIY projects. We're establishing an eco-friendly garden, building a yurt from scratch, and spending evenings by the campfire, providing opportunities for bonding and exchanging experiences. It's a perfect chance to delve into your passions and skills amidst nature.
We are open to new connections and exciting ideas that our guests may bring. Our children love meeting new friends to play with, so families with children are warmly welcomed to our glamping site.
