Western Masuria: Wooden Lake Cottage

Bieniasze - 14-310 Miłakowo - Ostróda County - Poland
Happy vacations by the lake in pure nature & deep silence of West Masuria. For one or two families, a time-out for two, or anglers. Dog welcome. A wooden cottage on 14 hectares forest & meadows with fireplaces, beach, jetty, boat & lakeview sauna.

Lost in the Outback of formerly Eastern Prussia's Oberland: directly on Lake Beniaskie, on a natural meadow of 2 hectares with its own small deciduous forest, away from the quiet village of Bieniasze. You will locate us right on the border of the Natura 2000 Reserve Lake Wuksniki and directly in the Pasleka Valley Protected Landscape Area.

ECO
We strive very hard to act as sustainable as possible. A highlight is the EU-Eco-Certificate for our 14 ha of land as well as the fact that for Beniaskie! not a single tree had been cut and 99.8% of our land is not "sealed" - in contrast: wherever possible, we let the nature grow & flow as it likes :-)

THE LODGE
A stylish, light-flooded domicile almost only made of wood with the two separate Cottage Apartments "Myslaki" & "Trokajny" generously designed - each on 72 sqm and two levels, and with two verandas each. Cottage Apartments are amply separated from each other by a 12-metre long "barn" and each can accommodate up to four guests (+ possibly one baby/toddler in a cot).
- 72 square meters on two floors
- a light-filled, open lounge with a fully equipped kitchen incl. dishwasher and a dining area for four....
- ...as well as a cast iron fireplace and a comfortable chaiselongue for two in front of it
- bathroom with shower and underfloor heating
- two cozy bedrooms with a view of nature, one with a double bed and the other with two single beds and a baby bed
- you will sleep deeply and comfortably on high-quality box spring mattresses and in pillows and comforters made exclusively from the natural materials cotton and goose down
- two private roofed verandas with a grill from where you can watch sunrise and sunset
- private campfire.

THE ESTATE
14 hectares of nature, silence & seclusion. The habitat is bordered on the west by the shoreline of Lake Beniaskie with a length of about 300 meters, on the north by forests and farmland, on the east and south by meadows with moist biotope and hills. Down by the lake there's our jetty: jump straight in for a swim or explore the lake with our rowing boat & SUPs. Or go fishing: large catfish and pike are regularly seen and caught here. During the colder season: our Lakeview Sauna with the Chill-Down-Deck in the lake. And from Spring to Autumn: explore the field paths and the vast forests with our bicycles, all the way to the Pasleka Valley or Lake Narie. Depending on the season, you can find berries, blackberries, strawberries, currants, chanterelles, boletes and chestnuts. After dark: campfire under a fascinatingly clear Oberland sky with countless stars.

LOCAL DELICACIES
When we go shopping in the morning, we can organize delicious organic products from the area for your breakfast: real rolls from the baker, country butter cut from a piece, eggs from hens that still run in the meadow, honey from bees that collect their nectar in pure nature, freshly roasted coffee ground by you "à la minute" and much more. And on Sundays, we bake our own rolls from freshly ground organic grains. For dinner, we recommend beef from our neighbors' Hereford cattle - fed exclusively on grass in the meadows around Beniaskie! and dry-aged for several weeks, and therefore very juicy and a culinary delight:
- in the colder months, for a cozy evening by the fireplace, a delicious Fondue Bourguignonne of Hereford beef tenderloin...SlowFood at it's best
- and in the warmer seasons you can grill juicy Hereford T-Bones & Burgers from the farm next door with fresh garden vegetables on your grill.
If you don't want to cook, but nevertheless want to eat at Beniaskie!: you can order delicious take-out food at Manor House (hearty Oberland cuisine with local and homegrown products) or in Miłakowo at MiDano (daily menu, home cooking & pizza) with delivery.

WHAT'S UP?
You can spend a vacation in any season - even in the stiffest winter it's warm & cozy thanks to the crackling fireplace. Then, of course, there is time for the sauna by the lake, ice bathing, and ice fishing. You will need sturdy, comfortable shoes to walk around the "garden", because our property covers approx. 14 hectares. It is intersected by two small streams with ponds and marshes and is very hilly - from the vantage point there is a fantastic panorama of West Masuria & Warmia region. On the other side of the plot you will find Lake Wuksniki, which with 68 meters depth is the deepest lake in Warmia and Mazury. It has crystal clear water (perfect for diving!) and a sandy beach.

So, you will be in nature, peace, and seclusion. The habitat is bordered on the east by the approx. 300 meters long shoreline of Lake Beniaskie, on the south by forests and arable fields, from the south and west by meadows with a moist biotope and hills. In spring & autumn, it is worth arming yourself with rubber boots, and in summer - with bathing suits. On the shores of Lake Beniaskie there is our pier, where the rowing boat is waiting for you; or jump into the lake and swim over to the Mansion House's pier vis-a-vis. A little further along the shoreline is the Beniaskie! Sauna: privacy tucked away on the timberline, with lakeview & Chill-Down-Deck in the lake. Also, you may fish in the lake: from time to time the municipal championships take place here, and large catfish and pike are regularly found and caught. Or explore Lake Beniaskie with our new SUPs...

By our bicycles you can comfortably pedal along field paths or vast forests up to the Pasłęka lowland or Narie Lake. You can also reach the famous Camp Spa -situated outdoor in the middle of fields & forests- in Włodowo in a few biking minutes. In the surrounding woods of Beniaskie! and depending on the season, you can find blueberries, blackberries, wild strawberries, currants, chanterelles, boletus and chestnuts. At night, fascinatingly clear oberlandian skies with countless stars awaits you.

You can spend a carefree holiday here, you can both, hike in the endless nature and explore the surrounding area, that has a lot to offer: Olsztyn with its old town, arboretum, planetarium, aqua park, wakeboard lift, and rope park..,or Ostróda with the world-famous Elbląg Canal and of course Gdansk with the Vistula Lagoon. Also many other monuments of Warmia and Masuria can be easily visited during one-day trips.

For you, we provide a regularly updated calendar of regional events because we know what's on in the old Oberland: fairs, festivals, sports and cultural events and much more.

KIDS
