The Winkler Vacation Farm dates back to 1877 and has been lovingly restored to its original condition. It is located in the circular village of Schweskau; the village, framed by oak trees, lies directly in front of the garden gate. In Schweskau, time moves at a leisurely pace, and visitors are enveloped by an idyllic atmosphere and restful tranquility. The guest apartment is located in a newer addition—the former stable buildings.
The largely natural property (please don’t expect an English-style lawn) covers approximately 6,000 square meters and is completely fenced in.
The lockable game room in the barn features lounge chairs, cushions for the patio furniture, a grill, a clothesline, and a selection of indoor and outdoor games (small soccer goals, bocce, Viking game, badminton, volleyball, croquet, various board games for all ages...). All outdoor games may be enjoyed to your heart’s content on the lawn behind the barn. Bicycles you bring along can also be stored safely there.
Dogs traveling with you are welcome to run around on the back lawn under supervision.
The nearest shopping options are in Lüchow, about a 10-minute drive away.
In the village itself, there’s also a Tante Enso supermarket with everything you need for daily life, just a few minutes’ walk from the farm. Hours: Mon, Tue, Thu, Fri, Sat 8 a.m.–12 p.m., Mon, Fri 2–6 p.m., closed Wednesdays. Open 24/7 with a Tante Enso card.
The apartment is a cozy 50 square meters; due to the sloped ceilings, the upper floor is slightly smaller than the first floor.
