Barn loft Usedom -4- family oasis up to 15 pax spacious big garden dog-friendly
Pure country-house idyll. Peace and quiet, nature, tree-lined avenues, meadows, and forests with old-growth trees—all in a neighborhood known for its culinary delights. Centrally located on Usedom. Close to the water—the Bodden and the Baltic Sea. The Scheunenloft am Wasserschloss is situated right next to the historic Mellenthin moated castle, in the heart of Usedom, with surprisingly short distances to the famous seaside resorts—a perfect starting point for relaxation, enjoying nature, and exploring. Everything is within walking distance. The neighboring castle features a courtyard café, a brewery and schnapps distillery, a restaurant serving regional cuisine, and a roastery for fresh coffee. In the village, there’s a farm shop offering bakery items and many everyday essentials. The small brick church offers cool respite, tranquility, and summer concerts. If you enjoy getting out and about, you’ll love the surrounding hiking trails. A bike station with app connectivity is just a minute away, making spontaneous trips to the inland areas or the Baltic Sea possible. In about 20 minutes, you can reach the imperial seaside resorts like Heringsdorf or Ahlbeck—perfect for a day trip to the beach. Mellenthin is also ideal for families: the car-free surroundings, the playground right next door, the loft’s large garden, and many child-friendly spots on the island ensure a relaxing vacation. An insider tip is the nearby Achterwasser—quieter than the Baltic Sea coast, with idyllic swimming spots, ideal for sandcastle-building or paddle tours, and plenty of hidden sunbathing spots. Those who prefer to stay close by can enjoy the view across the fields, the chirping of birds, the special tranquility in the garden, and the Milky Way at night. The Scheunenloft’s location at the Wasserschloss combines it all: a central island location, good transportation links, and an idyllic setting close to nature. Whether you’re seeking peace and quiet, traveling with your family, or want to actively explore Usedom—this is where your vacation begins. #UsedomVacation #BarnLoft #AmWasserschloss
Amid vast meadows, right next to the historic moated castle of Mellenthin, a former barn awaits you—transformed with passion, style, and a sense of community into a unique retreat. The Barn Loft at the Water Castle is a gathering place for families, friends, and people who appreciate spaciousness, authenticity, and thoughtful design. Nothing here is cookie-cutter. The combination of brick charm, generous space, and high-quality amenities makes the Barn Loft a visual delight. Here, you’ll find both space and tranquility—whether you’re traveling with a group, an extended family, a circle of friends, or simply seeking a retreat. The apartment is practically hidden from view from the street. Thoughtful details, plenty of seating, ample tableware, and flexible sleeping arrangements make hosting gatherings with many guests hassle-free. The furnishings are unique, featuring antique and designer pieces, and provide modern comforts wherever you need them. A large, fully equipped kitchen-diner with a long dining table, several cozy seating areas, a large tiled stove, stylish bedrooms with comfortable beds, and modern bathrooms. Outside, a spacious garden beckons. Everyone can find their own spot to relax or let off steam, whether by the fire pit or in the large orchard. In the summer, a romantic circus wagon provides a private retreat. The garden is perfect for anyone who loves nature and open spaces—and dogs are welcome, too. Families with children will find toys and children’s books in the house; they’ll love the sheltered garden. There’s a lovely public playground in front of the house, and you can enjoy paddling in the castle’s adjacent moat. Our guests say: It’s even more beautiful than in the pictures. And that’s exactly what we want to offer—a house with soul that inspires and brings people together. Welcome to the Scheunenloft—welcome to your temporary home. #Scheunenloft #Usedom #VacationVilla
I’m Brita—a host with a big heart, an architect at heart, and always on the lookout for beauty in everyday life. I live in Berlin with my family. We converted Mellenthin into a private retreat and gathering place for our extended family. Today, it has become a special place for guests seeking individuality, atmosphere, and space for connection. Our old brick barn was love at first sight for us—rustic, charming, and full of history. Little by little, we’ve renovated and designed it without losing its original character. I love creating something new from old things, filling spaces with soul, and never losing sight of what matters most: that people come together and feel at home. As your host, I’m always in touch, from your first inquiry to your farewell. It’s important to me that my guests don’t just stay the night, but truly feel at home—whether they’re here with their children, dogs, the whole extended family, or among friends. It especially touches me when people say, “It’s even more beautiful than in the pictures.” Because that’s what I want to convey—not perfection, but authenticity, warmth, and individuality. The Scheunenloft at the Wasserschloss is our labor of love, and it continues to grow. Anyone who’s been here knows: This is a place to come together, laugh, breathe deeply, dream—or simply BE. I’d be delighted if YOU, too, became part of our story soon.
