Description
Welcome to the Inna Bajka habitat in picturesque Podlasie, not far from the Bialowieza Forest, in the tiny village of Novoberezovo. In addition to its picturesque appearance, which it owes to its beautiful wooden cottages and two Orthodox churches, it carries something important - respect and nurturing of tradition. Local residents recreate family recipes and recipes, cultivate old rituals, help each other and try to keep the local culture alive so as not to let it be forgotten. Therefore, when decorating the Bajka house, we tried to reflect the character and atmosphere of the Podlasie climate. We succeeded in doing so with old furniture and trinkets in Podlasie style, which we gave new life to in our interiors. The old tiled stove has become the heart of the house, and the restored wooden floors, walls and doors hide interesting stories from decades ago. Straight from the house there is an exit to a large covered terrace overlooking the garden and a barbecue, and right next to the terrace there is a fire pit. On the property we have preserved a beautiful old barn and pigsties. We converted the pigsties into atmospheric sleeping places - Nowelka and Mysia Norka. The whole creates a typical Podlasie rural backyard with an orchard behind the barn and beautiful areas for walks 🙂 We hope you will feel this idyllic atmosphere. We invite you to our rural other fairy tale 🙂 The house BAJKA is designed for up to 6 people. Novella for a maximum of 4 people. Mysia Norka will accommodate a maximum of 2 people.
