In the heart of the Black Forest at an elevation of 800 m The Nature house is a lovingly furnished, cozy and snug attic apartment in the Waldhaus, built in 1957—not a sterile hotel, but a warm retreat with wabi-sabi charm. In just under 60 m², you’ll find a spacious bedroom with two single beds pushed together (which can be separated upon request), a cozy sofa, a small east-facing balcony for coffee in the morning sun, and plenty of space for yoga for two; two yoga mats are provided. In the living room, there’s a comfortable daybed that serves as a sleeping spot for a third person—and otherwise as a favorite spot for reading, cuddling, and daydreaming. The wood-burning stove provides cozy warmth; we provide plenty of firewood. There’s also a cozy dining/work area under the south-facing skylight, a cheerful, well-equipped kitchen with a Nespresso capsule machine and a dining area for 2–3 people, as well as a newly renovated bathroom with a spacious bathtub and a view of the fir tree tops and the sky.
Nature and surroundings
At 800 meters above sea level, at the quiet upper end of a small road, the forest begins right outside the door. Here in the northern Black Forest, there are no streetlights: at night, the moon and stars shine; during the day, forest trails, quiet moments with a view, and a small, fairy-tale-like path lined with moss-covered blueberry bushes and fir trees invite you to take a deep breath—we’d be happy to tell you all about it. The Waldhaus is part of a sunny clearing on a south-facing slope, surrounded by conifers and laburnum trees; in the spring, the blossoms are buzzing with bees. As a bonus, you’re welcome to use the sunny south-facing balcony on the ground floor. You’ll have exclusive use of the Waldhaus; there are no other guests in the house. Baden-Baden, with its legendary park, old town, and thermal baths, is about a 35-minute drive away; the Black Forest High Road is 15–20 minutes away, and the famous Mummelsee is about 30 minutes away. Alsace and Strasbourg also make for lovely day trips. Just 200 meters higher (10 minutes away) are Untersmatt and Seibels Eckle for skiing in the winter!

The apartment, located above a small store, is uniquely decorated with beautiful pillows, fun mugs, and handmade art, and has a pleasant atmosphere. It’s the perfect size for two people. The bedroom is huge and has plenty of storage space. The adjoining bathroom is fine. In the living room, you can sit at the table, on the couch, or on the sofa bed. This apartment is less suitable for people with limited mobility: there’s a long flight of stairs leading from the shop to the apartment, and inside there are two small steps to climb up and down. You’ll also need to watch out for the slanted walls in the living room. Be sure to take a look inside the shop: there are all kinds of beautiful cards and (gift) items for sale (no more organic fruits and vegetables). There’s also an art studio available where you can color or paint. It’s a lot of fun! The owners are incredibly friendly and made us feel incredibly welcome! When my husband fell and broke his arm, they administered first aid and drove us to the hospital. What a blessing!
Het appartement, dat boven een kleine winkel ligt, is eigenzinnig ingericht met mooie kussens, grappige bekers en zelfgemaakte kunst en heeft een fijne sfeer. Prima formaat voor 2 personen. De slaapkamer is enorm met veel bergruimte. De aangrenzende badkamer is prima. In de woonkamer kan je zitten aan de tafel, op de bank of de bedbank. Voor mensen die slecht ter been zijn is dit appartement minder geschikt: er gaat een lange trap vanuit de winkel naar het appartement en binnen zijn 2 kleine op-/afstapjes. Ook moet je even alert zijn op de schuine wanden in de woonkamer. Neem zeker even een kijkje in de winkel: er zijn allerlei mooie kaarten en (cadeau)artikelen te koop (geen biogroenten/-fruit meer). Ook is er een atelierruimte beschikbaar waar je kan kleuren/schilderen. Erg leuk! De eigenaren zijn ontzettend vriendelijk en zorgden ervoor dat we ons enorm welkom voelden! Toen mijn man viel en zijn arm brak hebben zij 1e hulp verleend en ons naar het ziekenhuis gereden. Wat een zegen!
All around the apartment, which is nestled in the mountains, you see coniferous forests everywhere you look. The forest literally begins right outside the apartment’s door. Just a short distance from the apartment is a wooden two-person lounge chair, from which you have a stunning view of the surrounding area. It’s wonderfully peaceful there. We thoroughly enjoyed watching the squirrels, the birds (including birds of prey), and the beautiful natural surroundings. There are several waterfalls and lakes in the immediate vicinity. There are plenty of opportunities for nature excursions, even if you’re heading to Baden-Baden.
Rondom het appartement, dat midden in de bergen ligt, zie je overal waar je kijkt bos met naaldbomen. Het bos begint letterlijk voor de deur van het appartement. Een heel klein stukje van het appartement staat een houten 2-persoons ligstoel, vanwaar je een prachtig uitzicht hebt over de omgeving. Het is er heerlijk rustig. We hebben ons prima vermaakt met het bewonderen van de eekhoorntjes, de (roof)vogels en de prachtige natuur. In de nabije omgeving liggen diverse watervallen en meren. Er zijn veel uitstapjes in de natuur mogelijk, zelfs als je naar Baden-Baden gaat.

The rooms were fine. The balcony with a view was part of a shop/studio and was outdated. It was a shame that it didn't match the rest of the cottage. It was a bit odd to go get a drink because you had to walk through the studio/shop to get there.
De kamers waren prima. Het balkon met uitzicht was onderdeel van een winkel/atelier en was verouderd. Het was jammer dat deze niet aansloot bij de rest van het huisje. Iets te drinken pakken was raar omdat je daarvoor door het atelier/winkel moest.
The stay was wonderfully peaceful. At one point, someone was sawing wood; it seemed especially loud because it was the only sound. Other than that, there were just the sounds of birds and squirrels. The view was fantastic. The surroundings are green, and there are walking and biking opportunities everywhere—from short walks to serious hikes. But just reading a book is also perfectly fine. Don’t expect too much from the nearby villages; they were very quiet, and there wasn’t much going on. There weren’t many restaurants or cafes nearby. But there is a supermarket within a 30-minute drive.
-Response from the host
Thank you again for your stay and your wonderful review—eight out of ten points! The balcony and the studio you mention at the beginning aren’t actually part of the vacation rental, but are a complimentary extra that we offer our guests when the weather is nice. Since this sentence is now right at the beginning, it creates an unfairly negative first impression of the vacation rental itself. Would you mind removing it or moving it to the end—we’d really appreciate it!Het verblijf was heerlijk rustig. Er was een moment dat iemand hout aan het zagen was, dit leek vooral veel geluid omdat het het enige geluid was. Verder vogel en eekhoorn geluiden. Uitzicht was fantastisch. De omgeving is groen en overal zijn er wandel of fiets mogelijkheden. Van korte wandelingen tot serieuze hikes. Maar gewoon een boek lezen kan ook prima. Verwacht niet te veel van de dorpen in de buurt. Deze waren erg rustig en er was niet veel te beleven. Er was niet veel horeca in de buurt. Maar binnen een straal van 30 minuten rijden in de auto wel een supermarkt.
-Reactie van verhuurder
Nogmaals hartelijk dank voor je verblijf en je mooie recensie — acht van de tien punten! Het balkon en het atelier die je aan het begin noemt, horen eigenlijk niet bij de vakantiewoning, maar zijn een vrijblijvend extraatje dat we onze gasten bij mooi weer aanbieden. Omdat deze zin nu helemaal vooraan staat, ontstaat daardoor een onterecht minder goede eerste indruk van de woning zelf. Zou je hem willen weghalen of naar het einde willen verplaatsen — we zouden je erg dankbaar zijn!This text is automatically translated.
