Of mid-nineteenth century vintage, the cottage is a typical single-building homestead belonging to a person of very modest means. The whitewashed log building is made of large spruce trunks with uneven log ends protruding at the corners. The roof is covered with low-hanging, stepped straw thatch characteristic for older houses. It consists of three rooms arranged in a single file: the hallway, kitchen (bakery) and a dwelling room. In the hallway, there are entrances that lead to the cellar, to the tool storage and to a pigsty attached to the front of the cottage. The floor is earthen in all rooms. As was typical for the region, there is a place for a cow in the corner of the kitchen, whose walls and ceiling have been blackened by smoke. The smoke from openings in the hearth and from the bread oven would spread to the entire kitchen and escape through an opening in the ceiling from where it would flow through a wooden smoke duct that vented it through the roof and out to the open air. The room is also very modestly furnished. It contains the necessary pieces of furniture and weaving and rug-making equipment.  The cottage today is in the same state it was until the 1970s. Its inhabitant was Stanisław Cięciwa who made a living as a weaver of flaxen cloth and as a rug-maker.
