10 exceptional stays in Rudawy Janowickie, Poland – a weekend in nature

In brief:

Three four-person apartments located in Rudawy Janowickie Landscape Park. Spa treatments and massages on the meadow melt away tension. Only two hours from Wrocław.

If you believe “exceptional views should be savored in exceptional places,” this is the address you’ve been looking for. The three designer apartments for up to four guests (or rent the entire house for 12) are hidden on a meadow in the Rudawy Janowickie Landscape Park. The interiors delight with harmonious colors and textures that complement the surrounding scenery. You'll love views of horses, bird songs instead of alarms, and charming décor. Plus, enjoy plant-based meals, natural cosmetics, and summer workshops hosted by the hostess. Who’s up for a delivered dose of zen?

'A great place to relax! We chose apartment #1 in June and it was spot on. The best part is the private terrace right off the room. Other guests don’t have windows above the terrace, so you get full privacy and freedom. Amazing view of Śnieżka! The entire space is nicely designed, and details like good coffee, the portafilter espresso machine, and 4 Szpaki shower products stand out. There are books and games on site. The kitchen is well-equipped. The only drawback in summer could be the heat if it’s very hot—luckily, we had mixed weather with a storm and cooler temps that were a relief. There’s a fan available, which definitely helps on hot days.'

In brief:

Three yurts nestled in the forest on a hill, within the Rudawy Janowickie Landscape Park buffer zone. Silent surroundings, four-legged neighbors, and decks with “wow” views.

If sleeping in nature appeals to you but you still want a bit of luxury—like a proper bathroom and a real bed—this spot has you covered. Tucked into the Rudawy woods, it welcomes you to one of three six-person yurts, each equipped for comfortable stays, plus a stove, a skylit bed to stargaze from, and a deck perfect for outdoor meals or horizon watching. It's just a two-hour drive from Wrocław. Nearby is the trail to Skalnik, and in a few minutes by car you'll reach Bukówka Lake, the Colorful Lakes, and the ruins of Bolczów Castle.

'A wonderful place, we felt completely rested. We watched deer from our yurt window—an amazing sight. You can really feel the good vibes here. As soon as mushroom season starts, I’m heading back. Thank you.'

In brief:

Three small cabins perfect for couples. Sleep in a loft, relax on a terrace with a hot tub, and you’re just minutes from the Colorful Lakes. Ready to go?

Come solo, with two other couples, or bring the whole crew. There are three compact cabins—each comfortably sleeps two, though four people fit fine on a sofa bed. You’ll find a loft bed, a cozy interior, and two wooden decks per cabin. You can jump into the hot tub (extra fee) and count stars, or simply gaze at horizon views so stunning you might want to brace yourself. Plus, it's just a 15-minute walk to the Colorful Lakes. Leave the pets at home this time.

'I must admit this was a truly successful stay. The cabin’s location was exactly what we were looking for—a peaceful area far from the bustle. Quiet and nature created perfect relaxation for our family. Morning bird songs and fresh air were balm for our nerves. The cabin was cozy and well-equipped. We found everything we needed for our holiday meals and more. The kitchen was fully stocked. The cabin was clean and comfortable, with a fireplace that added charm to the evenings. The kids loved the play area around the cabin. It's also worth mentioning the great communication with the hosts—they were helpful and polite, answering all our questions and ensuring our stay went smoothly. I definitely recommend this property to anyone seeking relaxation in beautiful mountain surroundings.'

In brief:

A secluded house for four, with a 100 m² terrace. Sauna included, fireplace for cool evenings, and trails—hiking or ski—right at your doorstep.

This is where adults come for a full reset. No kids or pets—just you deciding, “Relax first, then hike, or maybe the other way around?” The 120 m² house features an almost equally vast terrace. You can start a fire and stargaze, pick blackberries, blueberries, and raspberries in summer, or return laden with mushroom finds on rainy days. We recommend a hike in Rudawy Janowickie Landscape Park up to Skalnik—it's rewarded with a stunning view of the Karkonosze Mountains. You can drive to the trailhead in 15 minutes, then hit the path and head upward!

'A thoughtfully and thoroughly equipped house that blends with its natural surroundings—minimalist, subdued yet functionally modern. Classy. The panorama from the terrace looks over the Lubawska Gate and/or Kamienna Góra Basin. From the front of the house, the view remains unobstructed, letting you fully soak up nature—right down to the flowery meadow around the house and the nearby birch grove rustling in the breeze. A walk downhill to Szarocin for eggs or regional kefir, ~2 km to Grażyna’s shop. The Main Sudetes Trail is ~1 km from the house. Easy access. The hosts are friendly, helpful, and unobtrusive.'

'Sokolik is one of those places you want to return to before you’ve even left. Silence, greenery, and mountain views—all here for your relaxation and escape from everyday life. The house is decorated in a very charming style. Mornings with coffee in nature by the pond were an absolute highlight. The area invites you to stroll, explore, and savor nature at your own pace. The host is passionate—helpful, warm, but not intrusive. We felt cared for yet completely free. It's perfect for peace, inspiration, and genuine contact with nature. Highly recommended!'

'A fantastic spot for families and anyone wanting to unplug from the world. Proximity to nature, playfully insistent cats charging the cabins, and the wonderfully friendly host, Mr. Jacek, create a unique mix. We’ll definitely return.'

In brief:

Charming Provençal-style cottage for six. Terrace faces the garden and, in summer, a lavender field. Perfect for slowing down. Pets welcome.

If the mountain hasn't come to Mahomet, Provence comes to Karpniki: this delightful cottage is kissed by lavender in summer, while its interiors exude Provençal charm year-round. Bring your partner, pack six of your favorite people, and don’t forget the pets—dogs and cats are welcome and will make friends with the local dogs. The terrace is perfect for morning workouts, meals, lounging with a book, or staring at the horizon. A living room fireplace keeps things cozy on chilly evenings. The hosts live next door and are happy to suggest local Rudawy Janowickie excursions.

'An extraordinary place. I recommend it wholeheartedly, especially for those seeking peace, quiet, and independence. While the cottage is on the owners’ property, you don't feel their presence at all. The views soothe, deer roam beyond the fence, and nature is everywhere. The cottage is charmingly designed. We're still amazed at how three bedrooms and three bathrooms fit upstairs. In short, this is a place we'll happily return to :)'
