Eine wunderschöne Ferienwohnung, hell und ruhig mitten im Grünen. Ein perfekter Ort, um zu entspannen, aber auch gut gelegen, um in kürzester Zeit die verschiedenen Städte zu besuchen. Die Vermieter sind sehr freundlich und zuvorkommend, auch mein Hund war sehr willkommen. Es fehlte uns an nichts.Ich kann mir sehr gut vorstellen, nochmals einen längeren Aufenthalt dort zu planen. Ein großes Lob an die Vermieter!

Die Wohnung ist sehr geschmackvoll und mit viel Liebe zum Detail eingerichtet. Man fühlt sich durch Familie Plaumann wirklich willkommen. Diese neu eingerichtete Wohnung in unglaublich idyllischer Lage wird mit Sicherheit nicht lange ein Geheimtipp bleiben! Wunderschön!

Super leuke en gezellige vakantiewoning en hele aardige, gastvrije verhuurders. Bij aankomst werden we hartelijk ontvangen en kregen we een rondleiding door de woning en over het grondstuk. Ook stonden er lekkere drankjes voor ons klaar in de koelkast. De vakantiewoning is prachtig en rustig gelegen in de natuur en toch dicht bij de bezienswaardigheden en voorzieningen/winkels. Het bevindt zich op de begane grond; dus je hoeft geen trappen te lopen. De verhuurders wonen op de bovenverdieping. Het tuintje/terras (met ligstoelen en een zitje) bij de ingang hoort bij de vakantiewoninig; ook mag je een plekje zoeken op het grote grondstuk. De vakantiewoning is het gemakkelijkst te bereiken door vanaf de Sprockhöveler Straße de Heierberg (straat) in te rijden.Onze auto konden we parkeren op het erf en onze E-bikes mochten in de garage staan (met oplaadmogelijkheid). De vakantiewoning is ruim, licht, zonnig, schoon en lekker warm. Het bed vonden wij erg comfortabel en er waren voldoende handdoeken en keukenlinnen. Verder was de communicatie met Jürgen voor, tijdens en na het verblijf zeer goed. Kortom: zeker aan te raden en we komen graag nog eens terug. Bedankt Steffi en Jürgen voor jullie gastvrijheid!
