    An extremely friendly owner.

    Nature, peace & environment: 5 /5

    1st surprise: a beautiful purple (heather), green (many kinds of trees and shrubs) terrain where after a gravel path is the 2nd surprise. 2: a cute 8-cornered house, cozy, cared for with all the trimmings, where you first rest with coffee or tea that very thoughtfully is already ready. Look around, windows on 8 sides, nature meets you everywhere. You immediately feel embraced by kindness and nature, the silence and peace you are looking for. The early morning with dew and waking birds in otherwise dead silence, so serene. After a walk resting in the lake house by its own little lake, taking some laps with dragonflies and croaking frogs around you. Is the evening a little chilly, then there is a wood stove next to the underfloor heating to keep the atmosphere 100% until the last moment, before you dive into the lovely bed. Here I want to stay longer, here I want to be more often! I will definitely come back!

    How fantastic the environment was and how we enjoyed nature, how sparse the cottage was. It is 1 space for sleeping and living. There are two loose chairs that are not really comfortable because the cushions have sagged. There are no cabinets to store clothes except for a few dressers, so we laid out our clothes on the dining table and on the dresser by the foot of the bed. The bathroom/toilet is really super small and again without cabinets. The kitchen, again without cabinets, so really just a countertop, has a two-burner stove, so cooking is quite difficult. The refrigerator is low and very small (minibar size) so there was almost nothing in it. Furthermore, the description said there was a fishing pond, but that turned out not to be the case. So fishing gear brought for nothing. In addition, in the house which is on the property there is a dog that often barks, so our dogs went every time to see where this barking came from.

    Nature, peace & environment: 5 /5

    Was wonderfully quiet and very private. We saw no people and the area is great. Supermarket in Sellingen which is easy to bike. Really fantastic. However, the grounds are not enclosed so our dogs could not really run free as I had thought.

    Unfortunately the swimming pond was full of mosquito larvae, not wise to go swimming in it, also chance of blue-green algae due to stagnant water. In April May and June better suited in my opinion. I was there from Friday to Monday. Too bad there was no extra kitchen textiles. 1 Dishcloth and tea towel is too little for 3 days. Otherwise only positive experience. Sat in the morning at half past 7 already outside the coffee, enjoyed it. Response landlord: Dear Hetty, "Great to hear that you had such a nice stay and are so satisfied! I can address your concerns about the water. It is fully controlled water with a pumping system, which ensures that new fresh groundwater continuously flows into the pond. In addition, it is drained regularly with our pumping system. Twice a week the water quality is checked. See photo at end of ad how we perform a total cleaning biannually. ''

    Cozy and cozy. Heather in full bloom. Enjoyed the tranquility. As soon as I entered I was surprised and thought what a nice cozy cottage.
