About us
Zatoka Wilków is not a guesthouse located in the countryside, a holiday resort or a summer resort. It is my home, and once, a long time ago, I was looking for a place where "moss-clad stone, contemplation in the wind and the air has a different taste". It is here just as I wanted. I am closer to a meadow than a mowed lawn, I prefer to open the window than to have air conditioning smelling of the forest and to walk on gravel rather than on cobblestones. I like creaky stairs, old furniture, moss under the trees and lichens on the fence. I am glad that hedgehogs, orioles and squirrels live in the garden, and cats, dogs and wild vines push their way into the house. I sincerely invite everyone who prefers climatic places to comfortable ones, although I really try to make the rooms comfortable. For those who cannot stand without technology, we provide televisions in every room and public Wi-Fi.
Although I find it hard to believe, we have been welcoming guests for thirty years, since 1995. Most often, we hosted families with small children and year after year we watched as ours and other people's children grew, matured, started to come to us camping with a group of friends, and then returned with their own children. We have highchairs, bathtubs and cots for the youngest. Now, we are visited more and more often by our peers, i.e. pensioners in pairs, groups or grandparents with grandchildren. As we used to sing: "We'll chat a bit..." and we certainly won't complain.
We offer our guests a double Dream Room, a Stork's Nest Family Studio, Bella Holiday Apartment and Zosia's Cottage standing in the garden. You can also come to us with a camping trailer or pitch a tent under a pine or larch tree.
In a large, somewhat wild garden bordering the forest, we have a playground with old-school toys from an old kindergarten, a place for a bonfire, a covered grill, a lighted shelter with the possibility of feasting for 40 people and charming nooks where you can read a book in the shade, listen to the murmur of the fountain, relax in a hammock, enjoy the sun or... pick mushrooms. It is easy to meet a hedgehog, squirrel, redstart or jay here and sometimes deer or badgers appear.
Guests relaxing in the garden and staying overnight in tents can use the electricity connection, a shared bathroom and a place where you can prepare small meals, equipped with a refrigerator, sink, electric kettle, microwave, electric stove and a large table.
The large, free parking lot can easily accommodate several cars.
The property is fenced and monitored and is vigilantly guarded by the multiracial cutie Tort.
We are happy to accommodate our guests’ four-legged family members free of charge.
We do not smoke and do not support smoking, but we understand the power of the addiction, so we have designated places outside the quarters where you can inhale a smoke without poisoning others.
Events and conferences
ONLY OUTSIDE THE TOURIST SEASON, we organize barbecue parties in a comfortable, stylish shelter that can accommodate 40 people. We serve local delicacies: kulebiaki, homemade cheese, jam, freshly baked bread, smoked fish and cold meats.
If you want to spend a nice time in the garden near the forest with your family or friends - come to us!
Our attractions
We teach those who are interested how to tie Easter palms, write eggs, burn wood, and make paper. You can help in the vegetable garden and watch the plants grow, and make preserves together. Sometimes we are visited by hares, deer, foxes and badgers, and in the garden, in friendship with our dogs and cats, hedgehogs, lizards, frogs and squirrels live. In the evening, you can meet beavers. For pike, perch and roach, you have to go to the river or lake, but it is only 100 meters from the house. We collect mushrooms and strawberries in the garden, which is part of the forest growing behind the fence. For those who enjoy active recreation, we recommend walks, bikes and kayaks.
Children have access to a playground with toys from an old railway kindergarten. A sponge cake-colored dog, Tort, and a caramel cat, Sernik, accompany the games and are happy to be pampered.
Nearby attractions
Guests have access to a beach 100 m from the facility, a forest grows behind the fence. Nearby there are interesting, well-marked bicycle trails, there is a possibility of kayaking on the Małkiń River and sailing on Lake Selmęt Wielki. From the station located at the Ełk Historical Museum, a historic narrow-gauge railway runs to Sypitki, two kilometers away.
Gastronomy
Nearby, in Sędki, there is the Fisherman's Cottage, highly praised by our guests: a fish frying shop from our own ponds and our lake, a smokehouse, a restaurant and catering, including dietary catering.
In nearby Ełk there is a full range of restaurants, from fast food to elegant establishments. Or maybe go to the iconic "Albatross" in Augustów? Is not far away!
Location
The farm is located on the edge of the small village of Makosieje, which has always been famous for its silence "as poppy seed" and peace. We are 100 meters from the nicely developed beach of the shallow bay of Lake Selmęt Wielki, and 250 meters from the mouth of the Małkiń River. The forest begins behind the fence and invades our garden, where, next to flowers and shrubs, forest mushrooms, strawberries and raspberries grow.
There are no restaurants, fish and chips shops, discos, amusement parks, souvenir stalls or mechanical toys here. We have a village shop and a beautifully renovated community centre with a modern playground, and a historic narrow-gauge railway comes to neighbouring Sypitki. In the summer, its forest stop hosts regular concerts under the stars.
Makosieje is located 17 km east of Ełk, the capital of Masuria. It is a beautiful and picturesquely situated city and also a very good starting point for trips to Biebrza and the Great Masurian Lakes, to the Suwałki Region and to Augustów, which are located within a radius of 50 km. You can go to Rajgród or to the municipal beach in Skrzypki with your whole family by bike, and to Vilnius, which is closer than to Warsaw, you can go individually or in the summer season with a one-day coach trip. We also like trips to the Aquapark in the atmospheric Druskininkai, skiing in Gołdap or rafting on the Czarna Hańcza, Krutynia or our own Małkiń river.
The international expressway Via Baltica, which connects Warsaw and Helsinki, is 10 km away (Ełk-Wschód junction).
