Wildlife Villa
Cosy and comfortable stays next the Bialowieza Forest, self-check-in, wi-fi
The premises
Our premises (together with the meadows about 2.3 ha big) is a magical garden: Wildlife Villa – a blue wooden house in the regional style (for 6 grown-ups plus 2 additional beds for children), with all the necessary facilities, romantic and luxurious Circus Wagons (1 for two people, 2 for a group of four), and last but not least – the back yard, swimming pool and a playhouse for children.
We built the house in 2009: in the living room walls we fixed hand-hewn logs from the cottage that used to stand here but had to be pulled down. You can see the deconstruction stage in a photo hanging in the living room. We tried our best to preserve some traces of the past life on this location. We took care of the old orchard. The biggest compliment was when we heard the house made the impression of being there since forever.
NOTE: We do not provide catering. The house has a well-equipped kitchen.

Our area
- The house is located at the beginning of a tiny forest village of Pasieki. To reach the place you need to go down the road domed with old willow trees. The village is inhabited by just a few, usually older people who live their lives to the rhythm of nature. There is a lot of charm in this slow pace and the visitors get into the spirit of it, taking a break from city stress.
- We own a few hectares of meadows right by the Forest and we mow them to protect the cultural landscape. We try to stop the invasion of Canada goldenrod in our surroundings and to preserve the feeding grounds of the stork and the lesser spotted eagle. In the cooperation with a group of biologists, we dug “frog ponds” in our meadows – we hope they will serve well and help tree frogs, fire-bellied toads and a few more species. You will also find there special tubes to listen to the forest sounds.
- Birdwatching – it is enough to go out to the terrace to listen to cranes, corncrakes or to watch a lesser spotted eagle or a shrike. Spring nights in Pasieki (at the turn of April and May) are not easily forgotten. In fact, they should be spent outside, for example at the terrace, while listening to the concerts of birds and frogs. This is the time when nature does not sleep at all.
- The vicinity of Siemianówka Lake is another big attraction. This is a place famous among ornithologists and anglers. Another spectacular location are the meadows near Babia Góra and Siemieniakowszczyzna, where flocks of geese gather in Spring and Autumn.
- Walks in the open space of the forest meadows are a wonderful experience. Also nature reserves in the northern part of the Forest belong to the most beautiful ones. The smaller woodlands in the area are great for tracking bisons and moose or to pick up some mushrooms.
- A local shop in Siemianówka is 1.5 km away. The distance to Narewka is 10 km. You will find there shops, a restaurant, a bar, a small river beach, an art gallery, an old Jewish cemetery and an orthodox church.
- 9 km away there is a beach at Stary Dwór with a climbing wall, basketball and volleyball court as well as tennis courts. There is also a possibility of renting kayaks and pedal boats.
