About this property

You'll have the entire home to yourself and will only share it with other guests in your party.
Designed to Pause: Fireplace, Sauna & Quiet Rest
ABAITA Ferienhaus is a design-led, all-inclusive vacation home in Brandenburg. 50 minutes from Berlin, and a world away from hurry.
We're Kobi and Vincenzo. We designed and built this house as a place to genuinely rest. Not a retreat from life, but a pause in it. A place where you slow down and feel the difference immediately.
We lived in an empty house through seasons before finishing it. We lit the stove. Sat in silence. Discovered what actually matters when you want to stop, breathe, and reconnect. The house taught us what it needed. Everything here came from that experience.
The living room centers around a real wood-burning stove. Large windows frame fields and sky. Nature sets the rhythm, not your schedule.
The kitchen is fully equipped. Upstairs, a quiet lounge overlooks the fields. Perfect for reading, writing, or thinking differently.
Bedrooms are built for rest: high-quality linens, thoughtful pillows, blackout blinds. You sleep deeply.
Outside: a private wood-barrel sauna faces the landscape. A fully fenced garden with calm corners. Covered terrace where meals stretch out. A rotating double lounger for star-watching.
The house sits at the edge of Hafendorf Zerpenschleuse, opening directly onto fields, forest, and canal paths. Zerpenschleuse is a hidden corner of Brandenburg. Not about attractions. About rhythm. Walk the canal, hear owls at night, or do nothing at all.
Everything is included. No surprises. No hidden extras. No meter readings. What's included:
✔ Electricity, heating, AC, water ✔ Private garden sauna ✔ High-quality bed linen and towels ✔ Toiletries and cleaning supplies ✔ Fiber Wi-Fi ✔ Final cleaning
We built ABAITA to welcome dogs. The fenced garden, durable materials, and thoughtful details all reflect that. If you're bringing your companion, they'll find a home designed with them in mind.
It's a place to exhale. Built with care. Shaped with intention. For those who understand that beauty doesn't need to shout.
The vacation home is air-conditioned and features a kitchen and space to spread out with 2 bedrooms. Guests can enjoy a Smart TV and stay connected with free WiFi. Other standard amenities include a washing machine, a fireplace, and a coffee maker. Housekeeping is available on request.
