Description
We are a friendly family run foundation working with rescue animals and children. We want to help share animals right awareness through education workshops and animal assisted therapy including art therapy in a natural woodland surrounding. Our animal shelter/farm is in a quiet, secluded forest in the Polish countryside, perfect for long walks with dogs or horses and a swim in the nearby lake.

The house has very fast WiFi (we have starlink). Shared bathroom in the house with hot shower. Fully stocked kitchen in the house, where you can cook your own meals.
What else ...
The location is quiet (unless you count the animal sounds) and secluded. If you're looking to disconnect from the rush of city life but keep the comforts of a modern home this is the place. It's a great place to recharge your batteries. Our land overlooks a river and kayaking trips can be arranged. Nature walks all the time any time.
