Worth weighing

  • Steep hill and no pavement — The chalets sit on a steep hill with no pavement and limited street lighting. Most guests find it manageable but caution that it may be challenging for elderly visitors or those with mobility issues.
  • No pets allowed — The property does not accept pets, so travellers with animals will need to look elsewhere.
  • Limited on-site dining — There is no restaurant on site. Guests self-cater in the well-equipped kitchens or rely on the hosts' recommendations for local eateries.
  • Pay for airport transfers — The property offers an airport shuttle but it is paid, not complimentary.
  • Check-out is at 10:00 — Guests must vacate by 10:00, which may feel early for a leisurely morning.

“The wooden chalets have breathtaking mountain views every morning – a magical touch. Interiors are cosy and tastefully decorated, and the well-equipped kitchen makes self-catering easy. The log fire adds warmth and ambiance, and the staff were friendly, recommending great local restaurants.”

“Quaint and amazing – the cabin we stayed in was perfect. It felt like a traditional home with beautiful design, great beds, and it was quiet. Walking distance to the local market and city centre was very convenient, and the location was ideal for exploring.”

“We arrived late at night to find the keys in the door and the cabin ready. The friendly owner gave tips on ski locations and organised a 06:15 taxi for an early airport transfer. The cabin was a short walk from the town centre, with the market just down the street. The design was lovely – very well thought out and tastefully decorated. The wood fire was a nice feature, though the property is so well heated you have to turn the heating off to use it. Mountain views each morning were a bonus. The owner's daughter recommended many restaurants, and most were as good as she said. We would definitely return. The chalets sit on a steep hill with no pavement and limited lighting – you get used to it and it's safe, but I wouldn't recommend the walk for elderly guests. The photos don't do the chalets justice – they're even better in person. For Zakopane, skip the characterless hotels and stay here. The location was fine for us as we enjoy walking – hotels in the centre are closer if you prefer. It's a 10-15 minute walk. I booked this for my husband's birthday – it was perfectly romantic but would suit families too, so it really fits everyone.”

“The chalets are charming, cosy, and modern, with amazing mountain views. The log fire, spacious layout, and comfy beds were highlights. Heating and insulation were impressive – they dried our wet clothes nicely. Traditional design and tasteful decor added to the experience. The owner's daughter recommended great restaurants. A dream come true.”

“I stayed at Domki Pod Gubalowka for a few nights. The modern amenities and mountain views were delightful. The log fire created a warm atmosphere, and the spacious downstairs and good dining area added comfort. Beds were incredibly comfortable, and the heating and insulation kept us warm. The traditional style of the chalets added to the dreamy ambiance. Highly recommended for a peaceful stay.”
