HARVEST MOTEL
Kasia and Walek Bukowski, the owners of Harvest Motel, are both originally from Poland. Walek was born in southern Poland near Nowy Targ and Kasia was born north of Gdansk, Poland.
Kasia came to the U.S. in 1978 and Walek in 1981. After meeting, falling in love, and getting married, they both craved a quieter place to call home so they moved from Chicago to Yuma, Colorado in 1997.
They were passionate about having their own business and decided to buy the Harvest Motel – the best hotel in Yuma Colorado. Their wish is to have each visitor feel like they are staying at a house in the country.
Kasia, Walek and their family began remodeling and decorating (which is an ongoing project) to make it comfy and cozy, with their love of the Lord shining through.
They wanted it to be a home-away-from-home, providing folks a chance to escape from their busy lives, urging them to stop and smell the roses.
Kasia and Walek truly care about the people who stay at Harvest Motel. They treat them like family and want them to feel at home while they are visiting.
They feel it’s important to give back to the world and pay it forward every day. According to Kasia, “A positive attitude is everything, and if you treat people with a kind heart, it encourages them to feel calm and relaxed.”
Kasia and Walek take pride in knowing their customers by name and giving them a hug when they come back for a return visit.
