Toller Urlaub in einem tollem Haus

Das Fachwerkhaus ist super restauriert. Die modernen Elemente machen es zu was besonderem. Das einzige was uns gefehlt hat waren Fliegengitter, so hatten wir leider viele Stechmücken im Haus und durch die Wärme mussten wir Nachts lüften.

Traumhafter Urlaub

Die Beschreibung des Hauses stimmt 100%ig. Es ist sogar noch viel schöner als auf den eingestellten Fotos. Die Vermieter sind sehr nett und entgegenkommend und haben uns und unseren Hund herzlich begrüsst. Es ist das erste Ferienhaus das WIRKLiCH alles hat, was man braucht, Ausser der eigenen Kleidung muss man nichts mitbringen. Die Umgebung und die Hochrhön war jetzt im März noch nicht überlaufen und für Wanderungen mit dem Hund ideal. Eigentlich sollte ich es nicht tun aber ich kann das Haus nur wärmstens weiter empfehlen. Wir kommen auf jeden Fall gerne wieder.

Tolles Ferienobjekt

Hiet wartet ein wirklich tolles Ferienobjekt auf die Gäste. Die Integration moderner Wohnelemente in eine fast vergessene Zeit ist zu 100% gelungen ! Selten waren wir so begeistert weil absolut alles Stimmig ist. Das Haus ist sehr liebevoll und mehr als komplett eingerichtet ,so das der Urlaub schon mit dem Tag der Ankunft beginnen kann ! Hot-Tube, IR-Sauna, komfortable Nassbereiche und auch ein sehr schön gestalteter Aussenbereich machen den Aufenthalt zu einem tollen Erlebniss. Vielen Dank das wir hier sein durften.

Dieses wunderschöne und mit viel liebe zum Detail renovierte Haus, lässt keine Wünsche offen. Zum entspannen und genießen genau das richtige. Wir sind überaus glücklich dort gewesen zu sein. Und kommen gerne wieder. Mit weitaus weniger Gepäck, da die voll ausgestattete Küche keine Wünsche offen lies und auch unsere Hündin Amy komplett versorgt war und auf ihre Kosten kam. Wir bedanken uns sehr herzlich bei Ihnen.

Ein traumhaft schönes Ferienhaus!!!

Wir haben in diesem wundervollen Ferienhaus einen traumhaften Urlaub verbracht. Es hat uns an nichts gefehlt. In diesem Haus wurde an alles gedacht. Von der Brotschneidemaschine bis zum letzten Weinglas war alles vorhanden. Die Einrichtung ist sehr geschmackvoll und liebevoll eingerichtet. Die Vermieter waren sehr nett freundlich und hilfsbereit. Der fast 400 Jahre alte Hof wurde von Grund auf saniert und das gesamte Arial ist perfekt angelegt. Der kleine ruhige Ort ist perfekt für ein paar erholsame Tage und die Hochrhön und die Wasserkuppe sind nicht weit. Wir haben uns jeden Abend gefreut wieder in unser Häuschen zurückzukommen. Wir können dieses Haus uneingeschränkt weiterempfehlen und werden bestimmt wiederkommen.
