Questions

& Answers

Most things at the lodge take care of themselves, as this place was never built around theories but grew around the needs of the people living here for centuries. You will feel that from the moment you arrive. To give you that same confidence before you get here, we have put together the questions we hear most often, whether you are coming with a group of friends for the main house or staying in one of our apartments. 

Take a look at what matters to you, and reach out if anything is still open.

About The Lodge:

What is the concept of the Lodge?

The Oak Lodge is not a conventional hotel or a holiday-farm but has been been a home for centuries. Today, you will find private accommodation for smaller and larger groups looking for a real getaway, whether that means a weekend of doing nothing or a few days full of activity.

 

Surrounded by several hectares of trees and fields, the Lodge keeps a deliberately limited number of guests on the grounds at any time. This gives you a feeling of freedom, privacy, and quiet that never feels crowded, but feels like yours.


This makes it the perfect place to discover the beauty of Lower Silesia, to spend special moments with friends, or simply to enjoy a few days in nature. Everything you might want is close by, from archery and axe throwing right outside the door to castles, hiking trails, restaurants, and a region that is only just being rediscovered.

What types of accommodations are available?

At The Oak Lodge, there are no standard rooms, and every option has its character. 

Currently there are three:

The Main Lodge

The Oak Lodge is the historic main building of the estate and is always rented exclusively with no other guests in the house. 

It's a perfect space for groups of 15-20 guests and brings together old sandstone walls and heavy timber beams with modern comfort, plenty of space, and a timeless atmosphere.

The Wild (Holiday cottage)

The Wild is a cottage in the historic barn that grew out of the farmstead itself. It's an ideal place for friends and couples looking for both adventure and rest, with space for up to 4 people.


The Nest (Holiday cottage)

The Nest is a loft of sandstone and wood for two. It offers an open loft beneath a historic timber-frame structure, with thick sandstone walls on the ground floor, a large outdoor area by the stream, and views over forest and meadows.


In addition, all accommodations can be combined to make space for larger groups when the entire grounds are used exclusively.

Is it possible to host a celebration, wedding or event?

The Lodge is made for spending good time with family and friends, and it also offers ideal conditions for celebrations and events.


For smaller celebrations within a normal stay, the bar in the main house is yours to use. The way the buildings are set apart, together with the thick sandstone walls, and the fact that you are the only guests in the house make sure nobody is disturbed.


Outside, in the garden, at the fire pit or anywhere else on the grounds, music, loud gatherings and noisy activities are not permittet.


Larger celebrations such as weddings, birthdays or parties are welcome, but they need to be discussed with us in advance and cannot take place as part of a standard booking.


Please also take a look at our house rules and the information flyer at the top of this page.

Is The Lodge available the whole year

Yes, both the main house and the apartments are open in every season.


The people who built this place lived with the land, not against it, and that is still true today, so the Lodge and its surroundings have their own kind of magic regardless of when you come.


In summer, the forests and meadows around you are at their fullest, and in the shade of the old trees there is always a place to slow down, while the sandstone walls keep the rooms buildings cool even on hotest days.

In winter, everything is heated properly, and wood and pellet stoves add the kind of warmth and atmosphere that carries you through the darker months.


Whatever time of year you choose, you will have a wonderful stay.

Is the property wheelchair accessible?

The Oak Lodge is a charming 200-year-old half-timbered house, rich in history and character. Due to its age and traditional architecture, it features uneven floors and distinctive staircases. However, this also means that the property is not wheelchair accessible.

About Your Booking:

What does a stay cost, and how do I get a price?

For the main house, prices for 2027 start at 265 zł (~60€) per person per night.

Children under two years old who sleep in their parents’ bed stay free of charge.

On certain dates a minimum stay may apply.

Just get in touch with us directly and we will send you a non binding offer.


Prices for the apartments can be checked on our booking page, or reach out to us personally for an individual offer.

If you book through an online platform such as Airbnb or Booking, the platform fee is added automatically to our nightly rate, so booking directly with us is always the best price.


All our prices include bedding, towels, cleaning and any other incidental costs.

How easy is it to get to the Lodge?

The Lodge is easy to reach and hard to leave in every season.


By car, you will reach us from Dresden, Wrocław and Prague in about one and a half to two hours, and from Berlin in around two and a half to three hours.


Each of these cities also has an international airport, in case you are travelling from further away.


If you prefer to come by train, the best station is Bolesławiec. It has good connections from all directions, and from there it is about a twenty minute taxi ride to the Lodge.


We recommend coming by car or bike, so you can also enjoy the region on your own terms.

How do I make a reservation?

There are a few ways to book a stay with us.

The easiest is to contact us directly through the booking page on this website.


There you can check availability for our apartments up to four months in advance and book directly.

If you are planning a stay further out than that, just send us a message, and we will take it from there. 


On the same page you will also find the form for requesting the main house.


Once you have sent us your request, we will get back to you with all the details and a personal offer.

To confirm your booking, we ask for a deposit of fifty percent to secure your dates.


We look forward to hearing from you and welcoming you soon.

Are pets allowed?

Pets are warmly welcomed in our holiday apartments, The Nest 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?

As The Lodge is an accommodation for groups, which usually books a long time in advance, prepayments can only be refunded if we can rebook the dates. If you need to cancel your stay, please tell us as soon as possible to give us time to find another group.


The apartments can be booked on different platforms; therefore, 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.

About YourStay

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.

Do you offer breakfast, a restaurant, or is there a kitchen?

There is no public restaurant here, and we do not prepare meals ourselves, but during your stay you will find plenty of ways to eat.


Both the main house and the apartments have their own fully equipped kitchen, so you can cook for yourselves whenever you like. Shops are just a few minutes away; some are open on weekends or even around the clock, and the area has plenty of restaurants and delivery services if you would rather have something brought straight to the Lodge.


For larger groups or special occasions, we also work with a range of local catering partners who prepare fresh, home style meals for you and your guests. Just get in touch if you have any questions, you will not go hungry.

Is there parking and WiFi available on site?

There are plenty of private parking spaces available. No need to reserve and parking is free.


We also 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. We’re happy to help whenever possible.

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.

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!

Krzychu

Action & Relaxation



An absolutely unique place, the atmosphere of a 200-year-old half-timbered house is impossible to imitate/repeat.

Great as a starting point because the area is full of attractions, it works great as an escape from the city hustle and bustle, you can calm down and just relax.
