The apartment is very spacious and comfortable. The kitchen was well supplied with dishes and cooking utensils.

Rental unit in Erfurt

Dear Kerstin, what should we say? If you don't give a full review here, I don't know either. You could complain that no cocktails will be provided on request. But seriously, we were super satisfied, a great apartment and Kerstin gave us great tips for things to do and surroundings. Full score. Thank you so much for the nice days in Erfurt.

Rental unit in Dachsberg (Südschwarzwald)
4.99 out of 5 average rating, 110 reviewsRuhepol with alpine light WG 1
We had a wonderful week in Iris's apartment. We immediately felt comfortable in the cozily furnished apartment with a large balcony and fantastic views. There is nothing missing in the kitchen, the bathroom is also large and has a great bathtub. In addition, Iris is a perfect, warm and always available hostess. This apartment is really a real haven to relax in the beautiful southern Black Forest! We will be happy to come back!
Rental unit in Koblenz
4.98 out of 5 average rating, 316 reviewsPanoramic view to central Koblenz
What a comfortable and well decorated apartment! Once inside the apartment you are overwhelmed by the furnishings and the great view. The bathroom is huge, the living room is comfortable and the kitchen is functional. The apartment is safe and quiet. You sleep like a log in a comfortable bed. If you arrive by car you can’t stop outside the entrance door. To much traffic and a bicycle lane make it a mission impossible! Piece of advice: pass the entrance door, take a direct right turn ( you have to go over the paving stone and bicycle lane) into a short pedestrian street, stop between the Bäckerei and the O2 store, unload/load your car! We parked our car in the recommended underground garage ( the price is now 20 euros/24 hours). Walking distance to restaurants, supermarket and attractions. 👍 Finally: we do recommend a stay in this apartment. You will not regret it😊

Chalet in Kerschenbach
4.97 out of 5 average rating, 172 reviewsWald-Chalet Vulkaneifel
We had a very relaxing stay at the chalet, the holiday park is incredibly quiet and perfect to escape the noise of the city. The furnishings and the fireplace create a cozy atmosphere, we enjoyed using the well-equipped kitchen and enjoyed the underfloor heating in the bathroom. Excursions and walks are only possible if you leave the holiday park by car. The stairs to the upper floor are very steep and narrow and especially with luggage to be enjoyed with caution. Communication with Oliver was impeccable and we would be happy to come back!
Chalet in Duggendorf
4.99 out of 5 average rating, 178 reviewsNature is calling – quiet chalet on the edge of the forest
If you are looking for peace and relaxation and want to escape everyday life, this is the place to be. The chalet is beautifully located on the edge of the forest and its facilities leave nothing to be desired. Whether reading by the fireplace or relaxing in the jacuzzi. The house is lovingly decorated and very clean. The experience is rounded off by Thomas, who starts the holiday feeling at check-in with his kind. We also gratefully accepted his excursion tips. All in all, a wonderful few days - we will be happy to come back!
Home in Kleines Wiesental
4.99 out of 5 average rating, 164 reviewsBlack Forest Country Cottage
We had a very nice stay with Daniel and Martin. The apartment was very clean and nicely furnished,😊 everything was available. Sauna is easy to use and fun. A cool gesture from the host was the free bread he brought over on Friday. The highlight from our point of view was the absolute tranquility. Thank you both and see you next time.

Really great place to stay in a wonderful location. Even more beautiful than in the photos :-) We felt right at home, everything is very cozy and stylishly furnished and the fireplace was the icing on the cake. Ideal for a few relaxing days, the area invites you to hike and the large garden to linger. We were 100% satisfied and would be happy to recommend the place! Thank you very much, dear Elli, for your hospitality and this beautiful place you have provided us🌼

Your guide to Germany
Welcome to Germany
Germany might just be the best place to orient yourself to central Europe's varied terrains: Its borders are flanked by vertiginous Alps, brilliant lakes, and dune-ribbed beaches. Off the northernmost tip, the Frisian Islands form a dreamy 24-mile long archipelago, with the island of Sylt shining as a popular choice for a ritzy getaway. Down south, the Romantic Road winds through Bavaria’s historic walled towns, Romanesque villages, and mountainous landscape. This rugged region is also synonymous with popular festivals like Oktoberfest. In the country’s interior, the scenery softens into idyllic valleys, plains dotted with farmhouses, and meditative forests. But it’s German cities like Berlin, Munich, and Frankfurt that offer a steady pulse of culture. The country still hums with activity throughout the winter season when the snow-capped mountains change from a hiker's paradise to a base for skiing. The famous Christmas markets that spring up across most towns and cities in Germany offer mulled wine, traditional sweets, and handmade crafts.
The best time to stay in a vacation rental in Germany
With the weather at its finest and festivals galore, summer is the perfect time to stay in one of Germany’s vacation rentals. Travelers take advantage of the long sunny days to hike and swim amid the glorious landscape and linger in the country’s iconic beer gardens. From December through early January, Germany transforms into a winter wonderland with famed Christmas markets lighting up nearly every city and village, set against a backdrop of pristine snow. This is also a great time to visit for winter sports enthusiasts — especially if skiing in Alp towns like Oberstdorf is on your bucket list. Although summer is considered peak travel season, fall and winter are also popular times to visit. For smaller crowds, visit during spring and autumn, when you’ll find festivals and wine harvest taking place in smaller towns and villages.
Top things to do in Germany
Bavaria
Bavaria’s countryside boasts a trove of natural wonders. Bavarian Forest National Park, the country’s first national park, is home to 14,000 wildlife species, including the endangered lynx, Ural owl, and capercaillie. The shorelines of Lake Constance’s sparkling cyan waters touch Germany, Austria, and Switzerland, making the lake a hotspot for swimmers and sailors from all three countries. The setting for all this: The Bavarian Alps and Danube plains, which are dotted with storybook castles fit for a fairytale.
Neuschwanstein Castle
Originally a retreat for King Ludwig II, this 19th-century castle is now one of Europe’s most-visited citadels. A mix of Romanesque and Byzantine architecture, it is inspired by castles and cathedrals of the king’s childhood. Inside, discreet passageways and grand hallways lead to gilded rooms and skyscraping watchtowers.
Museum Island
Museum Island is a UNESCO World Heritage Site and one of Berlin’s most popular stops. Here, five world-class museums were built over the course of centuries. The Altes Museum was designed by one of Prussia’s most prominent architects, the Pergamon Museum houses a coveted collection of Greek and Roman antiquities, and the Bode Museum is known for its 19th sculpture collection.
