Description

The Good House is a continuation of our passion for old houses, we restored it with our own hands and saved it from destruction. For years we have been running another historic house nearby "Lumbie Manor" where we invite you for unearthly good meals. The Good House, however, is a unique facility. Cozy, built of wood, ecological and simple in form. We also did not interfere too much with the landscape around the house. No tree on the plot was affected, and there are quite a few. Even the domestic treatment plant is built around a young oak tree that grows there. We built the terrace in front of the house within the limits of the old stone foundations of a house that has not existed since the war. The house accommodates six people. The first floor of the house is a cozy living room where, in summer, trees rustle outside the windows, from autumn a fire burns in the fireplace and you can lounge on the sofa bed. The kitchen, equipped with a refrigerator, induction burner, kettle and coffee maker, will ensure easy preparation of meals. A bedroom with a double bed respite after a busy day. There is also a bathroom downstairs. The attic, on the other hand, is a paradise for children and young people (due to the steep so-called "mill staircase"). In the attic we have for you another two, this time single beds. Being in our cottage, you can directly commune with nature. Through the window of the house sometimes a moose or deer will peek through, sometimes a cow. We turned a large part of the lawn into a meadow, which is used by insects and animals that pass there to the river. We opted for simple, ecological recreation. The nearest surroundings of the Good House are Lake Białe (500m) and the Marycha River flowing right next to the plot, as well as forests and fields stretching in all directions. It is 7 km to Sejny, the nearest town. On the other hand, it is 17 km to Suwalki. To the border with Lithuania 16 km. The house lies on the border of Sejny and Suwalszczyzna, making it an excellent base for exploring the two geographic lands, which are very different in landscape and culture. Not far away, in the neighborhood even, lies the border with Lithuania, still undiscovered by tourists (you only need an ID card). We have virtually everything here, as lakes, rivers, forests, fields, and even mountains with a ski lift! Suwalki (17km) hosts a world-class Blues Festival every year. There is a thriving Jazz cooperative in Sejny. The Sejny Cultural Center is thriving and invites tourists on vacations. There is also no shortage of monuments and museums. As for regional cuisine, it is very diverse. For homemade breakfasts and dinners we invite you to Dwór Lumbie, located less than 5km from the Good House. Here for all our guests we serve homemade, delicious borderland cuisine and more. Meals can be ordered "overnight". You are welcome!

I recommend the cottage for anyone who wants a break from the hustle and bustle and lights of the big city. It is located on the outskirts, but it is an excellent base for the most important attractions of Suwalszczyzna. Each day we were greeted by a pair of cranes and a herd of grazing cows. The silence, while watching the starry sky, was literally disturbed by a flock of crickets. Super place to relax for people and four-legged dogs. Highly recommended! :)

Very secluded location, surrounded by fields and forests. It only takes a moment to recuperate and see nature unseen on a daily basis. January is probably not the best date to experience the charms of the area, but the snow falling outside, a lit fireplace in the cottage and to top it off with delicious coffee with cake makes up for a short day. Supersympathetic hosts. We will gladly return another season.

We moved the Good House to the village of Michnowce from Choroszcz, 150 km away, where it had stood since 1952. The previous owner, Mr. Tomasz was very keen to save it. This was the home of his grandparents, in which he spent a large part of his childhood. Often talking about it he said that it was such a good house. Hence its current name. So Mr. Tomasz was anxious that it should end up in good hands, and not be demolished and burned as firewood. We took a mutual liking to each other and that's how we became owners of the house. With the help of friends from the vicinity of Sejny, Puńsk, Sztabin and Choroszcz, we dismantled the house ball by ball and reconstructed it on our plot in the village of Michnowce. This is where the Good House was created from scratch.
