The space
Spend an unforgettable time in the historic vacation home and be enchanted by the atmosphere of times gone by!

Experience the special flair of the house, which is characterized by its original architecture and historical details.

The furnishings leave nothing to be desired: enjoy the amenities of a fully equipped kitchen, a (cooking) fireplace, comfortable and huge "farm beds" made of solid, 300-year-old wooden beams and modern bathrooms.

Even if the "Haus Christine" has lived through several centuries and is one of the oldest houses in Schalkau, you do not have to do without any comfort.

In the middle of a 200 sqm half-timbered house and two apartments, it is particularly pleasant to live – whether alone, as a family or in a group of up to 10 people.

The courtyard was completed in June 2023.

The modern furnishings with sound- and heat-insulated windows, large bathrooms with glass elements, the cozy warmth of a wood-burning stove on the ground floor, a historic flair and free, fast Wi-Fi are just a few features of the apartments.

The apartments are equipped with double and single beds, sofa beds, modern and large bathrooms with shower and toilet.

A large TV streaming options as well as fast Internet provide entertainment for all ages.

The lounge on the ground floor of the guest house offers enough seating for a meal together or a cozy game night. In addition

The great thing: you can drive to Coburg Land in only 15-20 minutes, as well as to Sonneberg (15 min) or to Rennsteig (30-40 min).

On the ground floor there is a third bathroom and a single room (from 10 people). In addition, a large kitchen and a lounge for eating or socializing together, including a modern speaker system from "Teufel" and a large smart TV (YouTube Premium pre-installed, Netflix and Prime with your own account possible. TV does not have a satellite/cable connection).

Guest access
You have access to two floors: ground floor and middle floor with two apartments each with private bathroom and a single room on the ground floor with private bathroom (from 10 people). A large kitchen with a kitchen stove (firewood-operated), dishwasher and oven/stove is also available.

Other things to note

Hi! I am a computer scientist and work for a telecommunications company in North Rhine-Westphalia. I'm a straightforward, open-minded guy who loves to travel.
