'Our stay at Zagrody was wonderful. The house is beautifully designed with friendly hosts, stunning views, peaceful forests—everything you need to reset. The bedroom view is unforgettable. The hosts deserve a sixth star for the delicious cake, bread, jams and treats waiting in the fridge when we arrived. Highly recommend for anyone wanting a nature-filled getaway.'

Ever wake up thinking, “I need another swim today”? Stay here. These cabins look out over Lake Kopalińskie in northern Poland, and just a kilometre away—through a pine forest—you’ll find a wide sandy beach and the Baltic Sea. Guests love the wooden sauna with a view and evening barbecues on the terrace. If you’re up for more, you can kayak down the clear Piaśnica River, windsurf in Sarbsk or go horseback riding at nearby stables. Families will appreciate the playground, though we’ve heard kids often team up with neighbours before breakfast for a day of splashing around. Oh, and seasonal wild blueberry pierogi are not to be missed. Sun loungers and water await—you just need to show up!

'A wonderful place—I’ll definitely return! :) The cabin was spotless, and the fireplace was ready when we arrived. It’s a 20-minute walk to the sea—beautiful paths perfect for a leisurely stroll. The on-site sauna is a great bonus, and grilling or relaxing in the sun on the terrace is so inviting. The place is constantly improving, and the hosts clearly care about guest comfort. The pre-arrival info from Slowhop (like SMS updates) was so helpful—made for a stress-free start to our stay.'

Fancy drifting on water before breakfast? No problem. The crystal-clear Lake Kamionka is just 200 metres away—easy in your slippers. These two houses each sleep up to eight, perfect for two families or a group of friends looking for a fun-filled summer retreat. It’s family-friendly with play areas and toys indoors and out. An attic hangout and a meadow for safe romps are just part of the fun. Pets are welcome too! Adults will appreciate the garden-view sauna and the outdoor hot tub for stargazing at night.

'We stayed with our four kids and had a blast! The houses are in a lovely spot with everything you need: water, SUP boards, a hot tub (teen favourite!), a sauna (parent classic), and a campfire—with roasted potatoes, of course. The kids can’t wait to return—that’s the best recommendation! P.S. Runners will love the local trails.'

From the moment you step inside, you’ll feel the sea breeze and hear the waves. Six spacious two-level apartments (around 60 m² each) feature minimalist design and natural materials—perfect for escaping the noise and soaking up a Kashubian-Baltic vibe. Allergy-friendly and very family-oriented (furry friends stay home). Kids get their own playrooms with toys, leaving parents free to sip coffee on the terrace with a good book. Guests rave about lazy mornings on the deck, strolls across the dunes, shell collecting and deep breaths of sea air. For active days, the beach is a natural hub for swimming, wave jumping, sand running or simple sunset splashing. Who’s in for this relaxation plan?

'A charming place run by wonderful people. We had a fantastic time with our kids, away from crowds and close to wild beaches. The apartment was beautifully appointed and fully equipped for little ones (cribs, high chairs, bath, stair gates, a toy room and a garden playhouse). On arrival, the hosts surprised us with wine, honey and local treats. We highly recommend Dom na Wydmach for a family getaway. It’s one of those places you’ll want to return to—with us, it’s a yes!'

Calling all water lovers! Start your day dipping your toes in a private pond, float on a flamingo in the pool by afternoon, and take a 2 km stroll to three nearby lakes after lunch. This intimate cabin is perfect for couples or a trio of friends, nestled among forest and blueberry fields on a 25 ha estate. Peace reigns, broken only by birdsong and frogs. The kitchen is fully equipped for your own cooking, with a fire pit on the terrace ready for evening treats. Who’s first to nap, swim, grill, repeat?

'If I had to sum up Shuuumi Forest in one word, it would be IMPRESSIVE! The cabin’s setting makes it easy to unwind. You could spend the day on a deckchair, listening to birds and the trees. More active guests can bike to the highlights of Kashubian Switzerland. The cabin itself is tastefully furnished and well equipped—even grooming kits and toothbrushes for forgetful guests. The host was kind and helpful. We hated to leave and will definitely return :)'

With pastel hues and quirky design straight out of a Wes Anderson set, these six houses could host your summer dreams. Best news: the Baltic Sea is just 5.5 km away—an 18-minute bike ride or an hour’s stroll by footbus. Perfect for quick beach breaks between meals or lazy afternoons watching kids build sandcastles. There’s a fun playground on-site, so parents can catch a breath. Each house has a terrace overlooking meadows, and local bike routes lead to Stilo Lighthouse, Osetnik Beach or famous herring spots. See you by the sea!

'Fantastic place—peaceful, with green views from the house. The minimalist design and unique character make it feel special. The hosts are attentive and helpful. 200% satisfaction. Highly recommend!'

Pack your bags and head to Lubkowo in Kashubia—picture-perfect lakeside village, surrounded by fields, horses and quiet. It’s the peaceful gateway to Baltic beaches—close enough for a bike ride, yet far from crowded coastlines. Here you’ll find two four-person cabins with open-plan kitchens, cosy living areas and large windows overlooking oak forests. There are goats (the friendly kind), terraces with forest views and beds fit for even the biggest night owls. You get two beaches: one on the lake dubbed the “Kashubian Sea,” the other a nearby nudist beach in Dębki. Come breathe in the sea air and top up your iodine!

'The cabin was tastefully decorated, cosy, clean and smelled wonderful. Despite the rain, it was a warm and inviting shelter. The fully equipped kitchen let us cook anything we wanted. Entertainment in the living room—board games, travel albums, Bluetooth speaker and a projector with screen—made the rainy hours fly by. The lush grassy grounds offered open space for our golden retriever and a shady grove with hammocks and fire pits. Nearby lake access is just across the road, and the sea is a 15-20 minute drive or a 2-hour walk through picturesque fields and forest ravines. This spot is magic.'

Grab your swimsuit and head to Lake Raduńskie—five minutes away you’ll find two cabins with private spa areas: a hot tub on the terrace, a warming sauna and a cold plunge barrel to finish your session. And if you crave bigger waters, a quick float on an air mattress takes you straight to the lake. Swim, paddle, fish, or lounge on the dock—then dive back into bubbles under the trees. It’s wild, quiet and perfectly water-loving. Swap crowds and fried fish for forest whispers, peaceful evenings and starry saunas.

'A wonderful spot ❤️ perfect for escaping the bustle. The cabin met all our expectations; the terrace was begging for a book session. Dinner on the grill and jacuzzi at sunset—what else could you want?'

Luxury means something different to everyone. For us, it’s a private lake with no dock crowds, two SUP boards at your disposal and total relaxation. Sound like a dream? Meet the two thatched-roof cabins—one small, one large—each with a sauna, dock, kayaks, pontoons and waterfront chill spots. Swim, fish, drift in silence and even chat with the resident horses, chickens and cats. On-site meal plans are available, or fire up the grill by the lake. Come refresh yourself after sun baths, lounge on the dock and remember why summer is so beloved.

'Quiet, atmospheric, simply wonderful. The photos on Slowhop don’t capture all of Farm Noe’s beauty. We stayed in the Small Cabin—cozy, well equipped, with a fireplace. The porch view is breathtaking—lush greenery and the lake create pure happiness and regeneration. And the hosts are the cherry on top—friendly, polite, helpful in every way. The breakfasts were local, abundant and delicious. Thank you for this unforgettable retreat where time truly slows.'

Bring the kids—and maybe a friend group—because this ultra-family-friendly spot was created by parents. These two small cabins sit right on the edge of the Tuchola Forest in northern Poland, with trails for forest walks, mushroom hunting and wildlife spotting. Nearby is a fenced, stocked pond for fishing enthusiasts, and just beyond the woods, a scenic lake. The terrace invites you to sip coffee watching grazing horses, while the lake awaits for swimming. Spots are filling—when will you join the swimmers?
