Our Nature house was originally built around 1840 on the edge of the old Oberdorf on 1 floor in quarry sandstone. If you are looking for a quiet place to stay and relax, then you have come to the right place. Enjoy the time with your partner, friends or family (children from 8 years) in this stylish historical place. Our cottage is a simple but special country house. Or special but simple? To avoid disappointment later, please read the following points carefully. 1. We deliberately do without television and W-LAN. There is no internet router. 2. there is no central heating. You have to heat yourself as in grandmother's time with 2 individual stoves on the ground floor. 3. the bathroom and kitchen are largely from the late 80s. An electronically controlled 21 KW instantaneous water heater from 2022 provides hot running water. All floors on the ground floor were renovated to a high standard in 2023. We look forward to welcoming guests who appreciate such a place!
Nature and surroundings
The 12-metre-high, 50-year-old sweet cherry tree that gives it its name provides delicious nectar for the wild bees that nest in the clay joints of the house in spring and tasty fruit and shade for people and birds in summer. Vlatten is one of the oldest villages in the area and belongs to Heimbach /Rur-Eifel. You are already in the Eifel Nature Park. From here you can set off on foot or cycle towards Hergarten, Heimbach or Nideggen. 15 minutes' walk from the village there is a traditional bakery with a small local shop. Here you can get almost everything you need for your daily needs. Vlatten lies in the fertile hills at the transition from the Voreifel to the Eifel. Malting barley, wheat, maize and other cereals have been grown here for centuries. We love the footpath from Mühlengasse up to St. Michael's Chapel. Especially at sunset, when the view over Vlatten is picturesque and the shiny roof of our little cottage gleams against the light from afar.

It’s a nice little house—basic, but just fine.
Unfortunately, it’s not on a quiet street—there’s quite a bit of traffic. You can also clearly hear traffic from Quellestrasse and the B265. This is especially annoying if you want to sleep in. It’s a farming area, so there are also large machines driving around.
Unfortunately, sitting outside wasn’t very pleasant. The cherries are falling from the tree at this time of year, and since it’s an old tree—and therefore tall—harvesting the cherries is difficult. On the other hand, there was another spot to sit, but because that part of the garden isn’t well-maintained, we couldn’t sit there comfortably. In short, the two gardens have the potential to become wonderful places to sit in all seasons, as long as they’re properly maintained. We didn’t find spending a day at home to be a relaxing experience.
The cottage is otherwise fine, though it can sometimes be difficult for tall people to avoid bumping their heads on the door frames.
The owners do make sure you feel right at home.Het is een leuk huisje, basic, maar gewoon goed.
Helaas niet in een rustig straatje, toch veel verkeer. Ook vanuit de Quellestrasse en de B265 is het verkeer duidelijk te horen. Dit vooral verevelend als je lekker wilt uitslapen. Het is een landbouw gebied, dus er rijden ook grote machines rond.
Helaas was buitenzitten niet lekker. De kersen vallen in deze periode uit de boom en omdat het een oude boom is en dus hoog is kersen oogsten lastig. Aan de andere kant was ook plek om te zitten, omdat dit stuk tuin niet goed wordt onderhouden, konden we daar niet lekker zitten. Kortom, de twee tuinen hebben de potentie om voor alle seizoenen heerlijke zitplekken te worden als het onderhoud maar uitgevoerd. wordt. Lekker een dagje thuisblijven hebben wij niet als ontspannen ervaren.
Het huisje is verder prima, alleen voor lange mensen is het soms lastig om de deurposten te vermijden.
De eigenaren zorgen er wel voor dat je, je direct thuis voelt.The cottage is located in a farming village surrounded by fields and nature. Unfortunately, it’s also right next to the B265, so you can hear cars passing by early in the morning. The surrounding area is all nature and fields, so there’s plenty of space for walking and other activities.
Het huisje ligt in een boeren dorpje tussen de akkers en natuur. Helaas ligt het ook naast de B265, waardoor je al vroeg auto's hoort. De nabije omgeving is één en al natuur en akkers, dus veel plek om te wandelen etc.

It is a beautifully restored cottage that is very tastefully decorated. Much care has been taken to make you as comfortable as possible. With many explanations throughout the cottage.With hot weather it is lovely to stay in the garden with lots of shade.The owners are super friendly and helpful and have good tips on what to do in the area.
Het is een mooi gerestaureerd huisje dat zeer smaakvol is ingericht. Er is veel zorg besteed om het je zo prettig mogelijk te maken. Met veel uitleg door het huisje heen.
Met warm weer is het heerlijk toeven in de tuin met veel schaduw.
De eigenaren zijn super vriendelijk en behulpzaam en hebben goede tips over wat er te doen is in de omgeving.Wonderfully enjoyed a long relaxing weekend in the Eifel in a beautifully restored cottage.
Heerlijk genoten van een lang ontspannen weekend in de Eifel in een prachtig gerestaureerde huisje.

The cottage in traditional craftsmanship is furnished with care and much taste, there is a lot of light through the windows and everything is very well maintained. It has a lot of atmosphere and you can completely relax (no wifi, no TV but there is a library and music system.) You can bike or walk in the neighborhood, but there is also a lot of culture to discover in the area.
Het huisje in traditioneel vakwerk is met zorg en veel smaak ingericht, er valt veel licht door de ramen en alles is zeer goed onderhouden. Het heeft erg veel sfeer en je kan er helemaal tot rust komen (geen wifi, geen tv maar wel een bibliotheek en muziekinstallatie.)
Je kan fietsen of wandelen in de buurt, maar er valt ook veel cultuur te ontdekken in de omgeving.The cottage is located in a quiet street, in a village, adjacent to a barn with green courtyard, overlooking trees and plants. It is very peaceful there.
Het huisje ligt in een rustige straat, in een dorp, grenzend aan een schuur met groene binnenplaats, met zicht op bomen en planten. Het is er zeer rustgevend.
