Quick check


Before the war, Mendel Glinstein, aka Jaśnie Tatko, lived in the manor in Niechmirów, and he won this land in a card game. He would come by carriage with his family to the ponds to rest during the Sabbath. Then, at the turn of the 19th and 20th centuries, there was a farm here belonging to the Niechmirów manor. The manor workers lived in quads, there was a sheepfold and a shepherd's house with 200 sheep. The buildings are gone today, but you may encounter a herd of fluffy animals during your walks. But first you have to look for the treasure. You can't get to a house in the middle of nowhere using navigation. You have to look for a hiding place, because the name of our house is not accidental. It is difficult to be visible in the forest, on 17 hectares that are part of the Międzyrzecze Warta and Widawka Landscape Park, in an area filled with meadows and covered with old beeches and oaks. There will be even more trees, because we will give you one and ask you to plant it here. There are also ponds buried in the 1960s, which my father Jerzy recreated based on maps, and a river flowing in front of the house, the course of which he renewed. Now we have taken over the old orchard as a family.

Because Schowanko is our family project, a place full of nooks and crannies that we call hiding places. It was there that my mother, Magda, and I found furniture that, together with those found at antique fairs, filled the interior of the house with 4 bedrooms, a spacious dining room with a fireplace and a terrace. You will also be able to relax in the huge garden, inviting you to yoga sessions and outdoor parties, and in the seasonal barn, where there is a workshop room and a place to sit together. I will tell you that Schowanko has another meaning. It allows you to realize the vision of going to a place where you can disappear for a while, read, wander, relax and regenerate.

Sometimes we are on-site, sometimes we're not

I love nature, even though I click on the computer every day. The hiding place is my place in the world, where I spent a large part of my childhood. A place where I learned to recognize trees, built mini ponds for tadpoles, and hid in rye fields. Now I want to share this place in the very center of Poland with others. Come and hide from the hustle and bustle of the city, replace it with the sound of a stream and the sound of cranes. Apart from Schowank, I am interested in the world of ethnology. I go on small and large trips. Also those deep inside yourself.

Nasz pobyt w Schowanku był absolutnie wyjątkowy. Otoczenie natury, z dala od miejskiego zgiełku, pozwoliło nam się w pełni zrelaksować i naładować baterie. Domek był przytulny, dobrze wyposażony, a obok domku sala, w której praktykowaliśmy jogę. Wieczorami panowała idealna cisza, przerywana tylko szumem drzew i odgłosami natury. Dodatkowym plusem była możliwość spacerów po okolicy – las był peł...

Pobyt w Schowanku okazał się dokładnie taki, jak opisano w ofercie, a nawet lepszy. Spokój i bliskość natury stworzyły idealne warunki do odpoczynku. Dom był doskonale wyposażony, a otoczenie sprzyjało relaksowi na świeżym powietrzu. Dodatkowo, możliwość spacerów po okolicznych lasach była dla nas miłym urozmaiceniem. Gospodarze zadbali o każdy detal, co widać było nie tylko w wystroju, ale także...

Miejsce z klimatem. Udany aktywny wypoczynek z rodziną. Gospodarze pomocni i dostępni. Na miejscu świetnie wyposażona kuchnia, możliwość rozpalenia ogniska, piłkarzyki, przestrzeń do ćwiczeń, spacerów. Kontakt z naturą zapewniony. Świetna opcja z możliwością spływu kajakowego Wartą - organizator spływu podjeżdża po was do samego Schowanka. Polecam!

Schowanko jest sztos- cisza, spokój i natura. Przemili właściciele, możliwość zasadzenia jabłonki w sadzie, pięknie i funkcjonalnie wyposażony domek. Spacer nad warte obowiązkowy i obserwacja owiec na pastwisku! Polecamy, bardzo nam się podobało i ja już myślę kiedy wrócić na dłużej :)

Schowanko to cudowne miejsce do spokojnego, rodzinnego (i nie tylko) wypoczynku. Jest prowadzone przez sympatyczną gospodynię - p. Kasię i jej rodzinę, którzy dbają o komfort swoich gości i dobrą atmosferę tego miejsca. Dom jest przestronny, pięknie zaaranżowany. Jego wyposażenie spełni oczekiwania najbardziej wymagających. Spędziliśmy tutaj cudowne święta; pospacerowaliśmy, pogrillo...

Wspaniale spędzony czas. Kojąca przyroda, przytulne wnętrza i przemili gospodarze. Wspaniałe, wygodne łóżka! Jeden z pokoi ma osobne wejście co sprawia że ktoś miłujący spokój ma swoją samotnię. Przez okna dobiega plusk wody, szum drzew i beczenie owiec - bardzo relaksujące. Dom posprzątany na błysk. Żadnych problemów komunikacyjnych. I te kochane podwórkowe burki <3
