Accomodations and Bookings:

What is the concept of the Lodge?

The Oak Lodge is not a conventional hotel or a holiday-farm. It is a special place designed for those who love individual vacations and yearn for an extraordinary getaway in an outstanding atmosphere.


Nestled amidst stunning natural scenery, surrounded by trees & fields directly at the riverside, it serves as a retreat and expedition base for guests who value freedom and privacy as much as adventure and activities. 


With a deliberately limited number of guests in spacious rooms and apartments, the lodge ensures a peaceful and intimate experience. Additionally, there are many common areas, seating options, and activities available on the premises.


Here, you won't encounter crowds of people or a 24-houer reception desk. Instead, you'll enjoy unforgettable moments, and the natural beauty of a region waiting to be discovered.

How do I make a reservation?

You can make your booking at any time conveniently through our website. For special requests or group bookings, please use the contact form provided on our Booking page. This helps us better understand your needs and tailor your stay to your preferences. 


We look forward to welcoming you soon!

What types of rooms are available?

At The Oak Lodge, every room has its own character. We believe that the space you stay in should reflect your journey—whether you're here to relax, explore, or reconnect.

Our accommodation is thoughtfully divided into different areas:

Themed Rooms in the Main Lodge

These spacious double rooms are individually styled, each offering a unique atmosphere and direct access to shared spaces like the library, bar, or lounge. They are perfect for couples or solo travelers who appreciate both comfort and creativity

Little Oak Holiday Apartment
Located in a separate building by the river, this private unit features two double rooms (not rented separately), a pub-style kitchen, a sauna, and a terrace. It's ideal for couples, friends, or families looking for an intimate stay with full independence.


Furthermore, The Old Barn is available as a stand-alone holiday home with 4 bedrooms, an outdoor pool, roof terrace and amazing indoor & outdoor spaces for families and groups up to 8 people.

What are the check-in and check-out times?

Check-in at The Oak Lodge is available from 4:00 pm, and check-out is until 11:00 am.

If our cleaning schedule allows, we are happy to offer early check-in or late check-out at an additional fee of 200 PLN per hour. Please let us know in advance if you wish to extend your stay so we can confirm availability.

Are there rooms for families with kids?

While The Lodge itself exclusively offers double rooms for adults, our apartments - The River & The Wild - feature additional rooms, making them suitable for children aged 14 and above. These apartments provide extra space and privacy, ideal for families with older children.

For larger families or those with younger children, The Old Barn offers a unique accommodation experience. It is perfectly tailored for a family vacation, featuring its own swimming pool available during the summer, various rooms, indoor & outdoor spaces, a private kitchen, and a large terrace.

Are pets allowed in the rooms?

Pets are warmly welcomed in our holiday apartments, The Nest, The River and The Wild, although we regret that they cannot be accommodated in The Oak Lodge due to the building's specific characteristics.

For those staying in our holiday apartments with pets, please be aware that an additional cleaning fee of 150 Zloty per stay will be applied. In addition, please take care not letting them unoccupied or run free at the Common Areas.

What is the cancellation policy?

We reward guests who plan their trips well in advance with a discount. By planning ahead, you can not only enjoy potential savings but also ensure that you have the best options available for your stay. Therefor, the cancellation conditions for your trip depend on the booking rate you select. So please review the specific cancellation policies associated with the rate you choose.

Do you offer group bookings, special packages or discounts?

The Oak Lodge is especially well-suited for groups looking to spend meaningful time together in nature. You can rent the entire property for your private stay – whether it's a reunion, a retreat, or a special celebration. This kind of group rental is always arranged individually and tailored to your needs. To make an inquiry, please use the contact form on our booking page.

While we do not offer commercial travel packages or bundled services, we occasionally provide seasonal arrangements or limited-time stays that might include special extras or are aligned by external, local events. You can find more details on our website or by contacting us directly.

Compforts and Amenities:

How can i use the Nature Spa?

Our Nature Spa is a private wellness area of over 600 m², designed to create an unforgettable retreat experience. It features a panoramic sauna with river views, a wood-heated hot tub, a private bar, lounge areas, and a spacious riverside terrace. This exclusive area can be booked separately and is always reserved for one group at a time.

We offer two daily time slots: 12:00–16:00 and 17:00–21:00. The cost is 600 PLN per session. Because both the sauna and hot tub are traditionally heated with wood, we require at least 2–3 hours’ notice in order to prepare everything for you.

If you wish to include the Nature Spa as part of your company retreat or group stay, please let us know in advance so we can make the arrangements and ensure everything is ready at the time of your choice.

Is WiFi available at the rooms?

We understand the importance of a strong internet and provide you with high-performance Wi-Fi with Wi-Fi 6 standard and multi-chanel mesh-network in all rooms and most areas of the main grounds.

Considering the Lodge's mighty stone walls, which can be up to 1 meter thick, we also recommend the activation of Wi-Fi calls for staying in touch.

Or fully switch off and enjoy your stay :-)

Are the rooms heated, and what is the temperature in the summer?

All rooms have heating, and in autumn/winter, additional wood stoves in the common areas provide pleasant warmth. Our guests describe the climate in the house as very comfortable due to the natural materials and the construction style.


In summer, it feels like there are even different climate zones.

You can find everything from cool forest air to sunny seating areas. In the courtyard, there is usually a light breeze coming from the forest.


The same applies to the house. The lower floor of the house with the lobby has 1-meter thick stone walls, which remain pleasantly cool even in high summer heat. Under the roof, it is a bit warmer at midday, as the upper floor is completely half-timbered. At the same time, the rooms there are very high and have windows through which a pleasant breeze flows all day, preventing it from becoming stuffy.


Basically, there is more than one comfortable place for every temperature and every season. Especially in summer, it is advisable to spend time not indoors, but for example, in a hammock by the forest, the River Lounge or in one of the many other common areas in the house or on the property. 


However, this is recommended regardless of the temperature.

Do you provide room service?

The Oak Lodge offers a private and independent stay, designed to feel more like your own countryside home than a traditional hotel. That means we do not provide room service or daily housekeeping.

Your room is prepared for you before arrival and will remain entirely yours throughout your stay – we won’t enter it unless requested. If you need fresh towels, extra bedding, or assistance of any kind, just reach out to our Lodge Team. We’re happy to help whenever possible.

Do you have a bar or lounge area?

The Explorers Hub, the Nature Spa, and The Lodge itself are equipped with comfortable lounge and relaxation areas.

The Explorers Hub features a self-service Bar to enjoy Fruits, snacks, and drinks.

Is breakfast included in the rate?

Breakfast is not included by default, but we’re happy to offer a seasonal breakfast option for guests staying in the main house. It’s freshly prepared with regional ingredients and placed in the fridge for you to enjoy at your own pace.

Guests staying in one of the holiday apartments have a fully equipped private kitchen.

Besides that, we do not operate a restaurant or offer commercial catering, but we’re always happy to recommend trusted local providers if you’d like something special.

Do you cater to special dietary requirements?

Our regular breakfast features various local, fresh, and traditionally processed products that change with the seasons. Vegetarian options are readily available and no problem at all. However, if you have multiple allergies or specific needs and wish to partake in breakfast, we kindly ask that you inquire about these before booking, to ensure we can accommodate your dietary requirements.

How can I get other meals?

At The Oak Lodge, you’re fully free to decide how and when you want to eat. The Explorer’s Hub provides a cozy space for a snack, a drink, or to prepare simple meals on your own – with fresh ingredients available on-site.

Many guests also enjoy ordering delicious food from excellent local restaurants, which deliver directly to the lodge. The surrounding area offers a great variety of shops and dining options, so everything you need is just a short drive away.

We do not run a restaurant or offer in-house catering, but we’re happy to assist with recommendations and tips for your stay.

Activities and Local Attractions:

Are partys allowed?

We value the unique atmosphere and tranquility of The Oak Lodge, and for this reason loud music and parties are not permitted. Especially in the outdoor areas and at the fire pit, music is only allowed at a low volume and until 10:00 pm. Inside the bar, celebrations are welcome until midnight.

Larger events or extended parties can be arranged, but this requires booking the entire property and must be discussed in detail in advance. Such events cannot take place as part of a standard reservation.

Outstanding Atmosphere



We spent 5 unforgettable days here. The surroundings are perfect for a city dweller – meadows, orchards, forests. Seclusion from the surroundings and the feeling of finally being able to breathe.

The building exudes history, creaks, smells of wood – that's its charm!
