    The wilderness center offers cozy rooms with original furniture, a great spa in the middle of the wild, very good food prepared by an excellent chef and carrying as well as warming staff. We totally recommend this place and would always come back.

    My stay was magical. The sauna and spa were outstanding. The rooms, reminiscent of a Polish 'skansen,' had a unique charm. What truly set this place apart, though, was the incredible friendliness and hospitality of the hosts. I highly recommend it.
