Sonja and Markus are lovely hosts as is the accomodation and location. Highly recommended if you are visiting Cologne.
Rental unit in Sankt Peter-Ording
4.98 out of 5 average rating, 470 reviewsApartament Juste 1
We felt very comfortable in the beautiful, very clean and stylishly furnished apartment. The amenities are very good. Also the kitchen is equipped with all you need. The apartment is centrally located in the Bad district just a few meters from the pier and the Dünentherme, but still quiet. We will be happy to come back.
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😊
Rental unit in Nideggen
5 out of 5 average rating, 149 reviewsSpectacular View at the Edge of the Forest
It is a nicely decorated space! Lots of light and a nice view. The area offers many opportunities for hiking and biking. Close to the location (2 minutes ) you are in the beautiful nature with beautiful narrow sometimes steep paths. Ingrid is very friendly and very attentive, responds quickly to questions . In short, a recommendation! We would love to come back again.
Rental unit in Bad Wildungen
4.9 out of 5 average rating, 134 reviewsLANDzeit 'S '- your break in the middle of the basement forest
Beautiful location, hardly any people, pure relaxation, beautiful views and nature.
Rental unit in Langenstein
4.93 out of 5 average rating, 215 reviewsHolidays in the mill
We really enjoyed the tranquility of the surroundings and found everything we needed. The communication was clear, timely and very friendly. The bedrooms are a little cold (in autumn), but the existing electricity radiators can help. We were very please with our stay.

Hut in Gummersbach
4.97 out of 5 average rating, 260 reviewsForest hut on the lake - glamping
Everything was great, I am very satisfied. I will only recommend it. The surrounding area is really fantastic and very nice hosts :)
Home in Güby
4.9 out of 5 average rating, 156 reviewsCharming "Chapel" in North German Bullerbü
The little "chapel" was at least as beautiful as the photos. It is located on a beautiful property, surrounded by greenery. Every day we were greeted by very nice animals - the rooster crows, the chickens cackle, the geese chatter, the cat comes to visit - it's like a picture book. Martin is a very nice host who provided us with tips for excursions and good food. If you want to go to a beautiful, quiet place, this is the place for you!
Tiny home in Greven
5 out of 5 average rating, 100 reviewsTiny House im Münsterland
I had a very nice stay at the tiny house of Max and his family! The house is very cozy furnished. A highlight is the oven, before which you can make yourself comfortable in the evening. The house stands in a meadow, so you can also sit outside in the countryside and enjoy the sun. Surroundings are also a dream! Lots of peace and nature. In the tiny house you can easily store clothes and things. With water and power, everything worked perfectly. All the details of the available amenities were accurate. The only thing to know is that the mattress is relatively thin and is on the floor without a slatted base. If you have a sensitive back, this may be uncomfortable. Communication with Max was very friendly and reliable. He was quick to respond and also inquired during the stay if everything was okay. His excursion recommendations were also great and it was great that I was allowed to borrow a bike.
Cabin in Wiefelstede
4.96 out of 5 average rating, 214 reviewsHaus am See @mollbue
Five+ 1 child were allowed to spend a wonderful weekend in Ingela's cabin. We felt right at home, Ingela even got fresh flowers to prepare the already wonderful house even nicer. The kitchen is well equipped, the oven keeps the house muggy warm and of course contributes in addition to coziness. We did not use the outdoor area because of the weather, but it also has everything you need to feel comfortable with a fire bowl, barbecue and seating areas.
Tiny home in Egloffstein
4.98 out of 5 average rating, 160 reviewsRomantik pur im ‚Daini Haisla‘
Probably the most beautiful Airbnb I've been to so far. We were in the area to explore the climbing paradise of Franconia - from the property you could reach many climbing walls in a very short time. The place was simply beautifully decorated - with a lot of love for detail and very clean. We'll be back!
Home in Gaißach
4.99 out of 5 average rating, 146 reviewsDetached wooden house in a very quiet location
The small wooden house is truly a paradise for all nature and mountain lovers. Absolutely idyllic and quiet location, sitting in front of the house, you can look at orchards and cow pastures - probably one of the most beautiful reading or home office places you can imagine! Due to the convenient location, you can quickly reach the foot of various mountains for great hiking tours or on the water - be it the Isar, Lake Tegern, Kochel or Walchensee. The cottage is perfectly equipped, absolutely clean and nicely furnished. A top kitchen, a modern bathroom, a really large, fantastic bedroom and a cozy parlor leave nothing to be desired! We felt right at home and didn't want to leave... The contact with Maria was straightforward and very warm. We will definitely be back and look forward to it!
Cottage in Neukieritzsch
4.89 out of 5 average rating, 268 reviewsOetti's hut at Hainer See with fireplace+canoe+wheels
The property is very cosy and beautiful. Kai is super friendly and helpful. We particularly liked the fact that we were able to rent bicycles and explore the great area even better. Thank you so much for the beautiful extended weekend!
Condo in Wiesenburg

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.
