Description
SLOW SZOPA – forest, silence, and zero comforts. Seriously. Let’s start with what is NOT here, because that’s the most important: ⛔ There is no electricity. None. You won’t charge your phone, turn on a hairdryer, or heat anything in the microwave. ⛔ There is no running water. Water comes from a well and is not suitable for drinking, so you bring your own. ⛔ There is no bathroom in the cabin. There is a dry forest toilet and an outdoor forest shower, even when it rains and when it’s cold. ⛔ There is no "automatic" heating. There is a stove that you have to light yourself. If you don’t light it, it’s cold. ⛔ The sauna doesn’t heat itself. You light it manually, with wood. ⛔ The hot tub is not standard. Using it is only possible after purchasing the hot tub preparation option (300 PLN) – then you will find it filled with fresh water and heated for the hour of your arrival. Without this option, the hot tub is not available for use. ⛔ There is no Wi-Fi, and the signal can be nonexistent. ⛔ After rain, there is mud. At night it is really dark, and you can hear the forest: owls, deer, sometimes wild boars. ⛔ The hot tub is filled with groundwater that has a high iron content, hence its rusty color. This is natural, but if you expect a clear jacuzzi, this is not the place. If after this list you feel disappointed, don’t book. This is not the place for you, and that’s completely OK. 🙂 If, however, you feel excitement, read on, because this place was created just for you. 🌲 WHAT YOU GET IN RETURN 6000 m² of private, wild forest just for you. No neighbors, no notifications, no rush. 20 km from Zielona Góra, as if on another planet. In the evening, you light the stove (in winter it keeps 21°C at -12°C outside, if you know how to light it), you manually light the sauna, you sit by the campfire. Sauna, then a cold bath under the stars, and back to warmth: a forest spa that you earned yourself, and that makes it taste twice as good. At night, owls and silence that you don’t know from the city. In the morning, coffee from the forest kitchen and a forest that belongs only to you. 🛁 HOT TUB – ADDITIONAL OPTION (300 PLN) Do you want to start your stay with a hot bath in the middle of the forest? Choose the hot tub preparation option when booking. We will replace the water with fresh and heat it so that it is ready for the hour of your arrival – you walk straight from the road to warm water, without waiting several hours for it to heat up. The sauna, on the other hand, is at your disposal throughout your stay, without extra charges – you light it yourself whenever you want. 🛖 TWO CABINS – BEAVER AND RACCOON Each for 2 people. Beaver: triangular, at a height of 3 meters, with a view of the sunsets. Raccoon: with a rooftop terrace, perfect for stargazing. Are you coming as a couple? You choose one cabin, the other remains empty, and the whole forest is just for you. Are you three or four? You rent both cabins, with an additional charge of 290 PLN for each person over two. For adults and children from 12 years old. No pets. We love them, but to maintain the peace and character of the place, the Raccoon remains a pet-free space. 🪵 ON SITE YOU WILL FIND Dishes, cutlery, pots and glasses, candles, matches and lanterns, wood and kindling for the stove, sauna and campfire, sauna, forest kitchen with a covered grill, deck chairs, forest bathroom with toilet paper and cleaning supplies, and a bowl with dishwashing liquid. In the evening, the area is illuminated by solar lights. The property is monitored. 🎒 DON’T FORGET TO BRING Drinking water (a lot!), food, coffee and tea, towels, flip-flops and swimwear, a headlamp, mosquito repellent, warm clothes (even in summer nights can be cool), and charcoal. 🐴 THE AREA Within a 15 km radius: horseback riding (Pasja Ługi), the Prince's Park in Zatonia, bike paths and meadows to the horizon. 📍 Czasław, Otyń municipality, Lubusz Voivodeship We will speed up check-in or delay check-out if possible. Slow down. Breathe. Return to simplicity. With love for nature – The Slow Szopy Team 🌲
