Wisła is a mountain town in the Silesian Beskids, home to the Malinka ski jump and a base for winter skiing and summer hiking. Homes are scattered around town rather than in a single cluster, so check the location before booking.

The homes sit in and around the town, mostly sleeping four to eight, with a garden at many and a fireplace or sauna at a few.
