This is a story about a house on a lake that no longer exists. When it existed, it was called Ittowker See after the name of our village. It is also a story about seeing an advantage in a lack. Because while other Masurian settlements attract tourists today, no one visits the one without a lake. When poverty prevailed in today's Witówko, and then Ittowken, at the end of the 19th century, the inhabitants decided to drain the waters of their lake to obtain additional arable land. However, the area was never completely drained: there are no arable fields or meadows in its place - there is a mysterious pool with the clanging of cranes and the buzzing of an invisible bittern. For 20 years, we have been investing the love and work of our hands in this extraordinary corner, with the feeling that the reward for the eyes and soul comes with interest. These 2 hectares with Prussian tissue and old trees in a small Masurian village in the heart of the forest attract us like a magnet every Thursday. Our happiness is what for most people in Masuria is a deficit. Get to know the taste and color of a holiday on the backwater: in a house that thoughtfully dialogues with the history and atmosphere of the village.

We live in the city permanently, but 20 years ago we bought an old habitat, which we are systematically expanding with respect for nature. We contemplate the quality of life in the countryside. Our houses are an old Masurian fabric surrounded by the shade of old trees on a two-hectare property. We feed our eyes with the fruits of our work in the garden, looking for inspiration in English gardens. | We devote ourselves to the garden, working in it has become our mantra. We rest in the evening, staring at the starry sky. It is a place of respite for busy people. For those who are relaxed, it will be a complement. Everyone will find something for themselves here.

A well-thought-out and refined house full of natural materials and earthy colors awaits all aesthetes. Immersed in the context of an old Masurian village, but not shying away from modern solutions. Consistent with the surrounding garden and full of sunlight coming through the rounded windows.
Inside you will find:
on the ground floor
– kitchen connected to the dining room,
– double bedroom,
– single bedroom,
– bathroom,
on the floor
– living room with a very comfortable sofa that can accommodate 2 people,
– bathroom,
– 2-person bedroom.
You will also have a swimming pool located among the trees in our habitat.
The former farm includes several buildings, including our house. We share our life between the big city and Witów, so it is highly probable that you will find us there. We will be happy to share stories about the village by the non-existent lake and advise you what interesting things to see.
We are separated from the sights and sounds by trees and a lush garden, but remember that we are in a village. There is peace and birds singing here, but sometimes you can hear a dog barking or children playing.
At Ittowken, we try to listen to nature and welcome guests who value a similar style of relaxation. Our place will not be a suitable choice for outdoor events.

If you find solace in bird watching, you've come to the perfect place. Next door, in an old maple tree, a family of hoopoes has been nesting for years, and on the other side of the house, in a two-hundred-year-old linden tree, tawny owls give birth to offspring, which we discreetly assist every year.
The cry of cranes lasts over the floodwaters, which are part of the Napiwodzko-Ramucka refuge, from April to September, so you can observe them on a daily basis. Sometimes lost cubs "graze" in front of the house at dawn. The bittern is perfectly audible, but only the bittern knows where it can be found. The green woodpecker, although timid, can be surprised in the morning in the short grass, looking for grubs and beetles...
Although it was different 140 years ago, today our village is no longer located by the lake. However, in the forests surrounding Witówko you will find many of them: from small, dystrophic ponds to quite impressive ones. The fastest way to get there is by bike, we have three bikes available to our guests at no additional charge. You can go even further to the Małga reserve with its secrets, which we will be happy to tell you about.
If necessary, we will provide assistance and suggestions for activities in the area. And if you don't want to move anywhere, there is a heated swimming pool with a terrace around it and comfortable sun loungers.

Reviews
Perfect Retreat for a Relaxing Getaway! We recently spent a long weekend at Ittowken and couldn't have asked for a better experience! The property is absolutely stunning, with beautiful grounds that are perfect for leisurely walks and soaking in the natural beauty of the area. We especially enjoyed the pool, which was a fantastic way to unwind and enjoy the sunshine. One of the highlights of our stay was preparing our own meals on the BBQ, allowing us to fully enjoy the serene surroundings while sharing delicious food together. To top it off, the hosts Agnieszka and Bartosz, were incredibly friendly and welcoming, making us feel right at home from the moment we arrived. We brought along our toy poodle, Italian greyhound, and Havana brown cat, who loved their stay just as much as we did! Our pets had a wonderful time mixing with the hosts’ dogs :) Overall, it is the perfect place to relax, recharge, and connect with nature. We highly recommend it and look forward to returning!
Ittowken to prawdziwa perełka. Pięknie urządzony, z niezwykłą dbałością o detale, stanowi idealne połączenie nowoczesności z rustykalnym urokiem starych, mazurskich zabudowań. Naturalne tkaniny i starannie dobrane elementy wystroju tworzą przytulną i harmonijną przestrzeń, w której można naprawdę odpocząć. Otaczająca dom piękna okolica to prawdziwy raj dla miłośników natury – malownicze krajobrazy zachęcają do długich spacerów i wycieczek rowerowych. Dodatkowym atutem jest urokliwy ogród w stylu angielskim, który dodaje miejscu jeszcze więcej magii oraz basen z widokiem na rozlewisko, zapewniający chwile wytchnienia w upalne dni. Wnętrze domku wypełniają delikatne, eteryczne zapachy, które wprowadzają w stan głębokiego relaksu. W pełni wyposażona kuchnia pozwala na komfortowe przygotowywanie posiłków, a świetny grill na zewnątrz idealnie sprawdza się podczas wieczornych biesiad na świeżym powietrzu. Gospodarze są wspaniali, pełni życzliwości i troski o gości, dzięki czemu można poczuć się bardzo swobodnie. Na każdym kroku widać pasję i serce, które Agnieszka i Bartosz wkładają w tworzenie tego miejsca, co dodatkowo podkreśla jego wyjątkowy charakter. Dziękujemy i wrócimy!
Ania, bardzo nam miło za te ciepłe słowa. Do zobaczenia !
Cudowne miejsce. Ogromna działka, w malutkiej wsi na końcu drogi, z pięknym widokiem na teren gdzie wcześniej było jezioro. W domu jest dosłownie wszystko, w 100% wyposażona kuchnia, w łazience znalazłam nawet odżywkę do włosów. Basen w pełni rekompensuje brak jeziora - temperatura wody była idealna nawet przy 23 stopniach na zewnątrz. Bardzo mili & pomocni wlaściciele, pełni miłości do miejsca gdzie spędzają czas od ~20 lat.
Kasia, dziękujemy za docenienie i zapraszamy ponownie
