Right on Lake Siecino is the Wolf Ostoja habitat. After the first house, Grey Wolf - measuring over 70 square meters - was built, the owners , Kasia and Mariusz Kosecki, decided to erect two smaller cottages in the area. All three are wooden, Scandinavian-inspired, and inside you can find "wolf accessories" to complement the Ostoja's name.
Wolf Ostoja is located in an extremely charming part of the Drawsko Landscape Park near Lake Siecino. According to Kasia and Mariusz, these are areas where the interference of the human hand is not yet so visible. The name "Wolf Ostoja" stems from Kasia's fascination with wolves. On the shelves you can find books dedicated to their life - the owner was keen to disenchant the way people perceive these animals, to break the stereotypes operating about them. In Wolf Refuge you will learn the truth about wolves! In addition, you will forget about the ordinary world, everyday problems, the rush and chase of thoughts. For rent there is the Grey Wolf - especially for those who come in a larger group or two smaller cottages - the Noble Deer or the Barking Fox! In addition to Kasia and Mariusz, Wolf's Retreat is inhabited by their Husky dogs.

Basia Hyjek: How did your adventure begin?
Kasia and Mariusz Kosecki: It all started with our love of Scandinavia, wild nature, fascination with wolves and sailing. The Drawsko Lake District has always been close to us because of its diverse terrain. During one such trip around the lake district, we found an ad with an offer to sell the last plot of land - as if it was waiting for us. Without thinking long, we immediately bought it.
Basia: What were the most difficult moments of creating this place?
Kasia and Mariusz: We know it sounds strange, but there was no such moment. We had a proven company Drew Mur Marcin Zolnierczuk, which put up the Gray Wolf in 3 months without any problem, with full professionalism. We were very lucky with the contractor.

Basia: What was particularly important to you in creating this place?
Kasia and Mariusz: Harmony with nature, so that the house would blend in perfectly with the place and the interior would naturally overlook the forest, be a part of it.
Basia: Where did you get the idea for such interior design?
Kasia and Mariusz: The interior design was inspired by Scandinavia, as well as looking for various things at flea markets or online auctions. It was supposed to be simple cozy and familiar.
