    Just be careful of the entry at the front door, the floor is a bit higher than you expect.

    The cottage is very complete and an abundance of tranquility.Everything you need is there incl. a very good WiFi.The cottage is very sheltered and gives all the privacy you could wish for.Nice base for hiking and biking.Great house to use as a writer's cottage where you can shut yourself off from the world 100%.Contact with the owner is top, responds quickly and very friendly.

    Cottage was well maintained, clean and hygienic. Beautiful surroundings and plenty nearby (especially Germany) to do and shopping. Price-quality ratio is excellent!

    Nature, peace & environment: 5 /5

    Fantastic experience, when you are inside and look outside there is green everywhere. When you are in the garden it is fantastic green and all you hear is birds. Freeways are not around here. A few meters walk with the dog and you are in the German forest, here I have walked with the dog for hours and not a mortal encounter. Mouse quiet except for the birds. We were with 2 adults and 2 children and here was enough room for it, 2 lovely 2 beds in 2 bedrooms. Bathroom was spacious with a nice bath and the kitchen was fully equipped. We will definitely come back again!

    Possibility to separate garbage in the cottage would be nice. (There is now one trash can for rest)

    Nature, peace & environment: 5 /5

    We greatly enjoyed the peace and quiet around this cottage. We ourselves live near a highway and you hear it well. Here, however, we could go to sleep in peace. We also enjoyed the wealth of nature and the proximity to a forest. The garden was so big that we were unable to find a few hidden Easter eggs so that's luck for those coming after us. :-)
