Thank you very much for a pleasant stay. It was a lovely experience to visit this old house. We were completely satisfied. Clean everywhere, calm and also absolute darkness at night :-) Nice welcome from the hostess. I would love to come back here when the trees are green and I can see the garden in all its glory.

“Clean, spacious, homely room, with friendly and accommodating host”
The room was really nice, spaceous and clean and gave me a real homely feel. Since the establishment is outside of town you will experience the beauty of stillness. The host was welcoming and friendly and provided great advice about local cuisine. I would gladly return.

“perfect expirience and good for a rest while you in long trip.”
it’s amazing quiet place to stay for a short vacation in a village. I’ll get real fillings of living at country side. the air is full of sound and aromas of village. You will live in a real old German country house, small rooms, a lot of wood in the interior. But everything is done with modern conveniences so that you have complete comfort. A breakfast in a garden will keep you calm on a morning. so it’s really place to have a rest.

A rarity! I'm in my fourth week of travelling in Germany and I've seen everything from hostels, Couchsurfing and luxury apartments. But this place is something truly unique. Want to detox? Farm-grown organic food? Peace of mind? Recharge your batteries? Get away from your phone? Look no further it's a wonderful place for that and more ❤️❤️❤️❤️🏠

“Wish I could have stayed longer”
I was late to check in because of traffic yet when I arrived, I was still made to feel welcome. The breakfast and room was worth every penny and the area is a peaceful escape from the busy motorway.
