About this property

Holiday home with sauna & WLAN in the Bergische Land: for hikers, cyclists, etc.

Wonderfully located in the Bergisches Land, not far from Cologne and Dusseldorf, situated on the edge of the forest with a big and sunny garden, 3 terraces and a separate sauna house. Hiking and mountain bike tours with both easy and more difficult ascents can be started directly from the house: you could go around the Dhunntalsperre, through the Eifgental Valley, along the Jakobsweg or across Maria in der Aue to Altenberg. In just 5 walking minutes you reach the forest swimming baths or the Pfannkuchenhaus Coenenmühle. In the afternoons you can relax in the sauna, use the sun terraces, or have a barbecue in a relaxed atmosphere...

Great accommodation

Perfect place to say to explore a beautiful part of Germany. Fantastic host, with near instant communication when needed before and during our stay. Good parking for a van. Host had fire lit for our arrival, so house was toasty. Great tour of house and explanation of everything. Look out for the 8.30am red squirrel visits! Thank you Martin

Mooi vakantiehuis

Wij hebben een fijne vakantie gehad. Het huis is erg mooi en van alle gemakken voorzien. Alles wat je nodig heb is aanwezig. De sauna is echt heerlijk. Wij hebben genoten van de rust. De gastheer Martin is erg gastvrij en behulpzaam. Het enige kleine puntje is dat de trap en sommige bedden kraken.

Wir haben den Aufenthalt sehr genossen. Wir waren zu unserem jährlichen Wanderwochenende zu viert unterwegs. Wir haben gekocht, gelesen, waren wandern und haben vor allem die Sauna sehr (!!) genossen! Der Auf- und Abstieg in die oberen Zimmer ist recht sportlich ;), aber wir haben alle wunderbar geschlafen!

Lage: Ruhig, abgeschieden, mitten in der Natur Ausstattung: Es müssen kaum Dinge mitgebracht werden. Was alles da ist, kann man aus der Beschreibung entnehmen Vermieter: Der Kontakt ist unkompliziert und sehr freundlich, sehr hilfsbereit Highlight: Ofen, große Terrasse, Wintergarten, Sauna für 3-5 Personen Kann ich also nur jedem empfehlen der absoluten Erholungsurlaub machen möchte.

The house has a nice natural vibe with a beautiful garden. The sauna is nice and spacious, plus the kitchen has everything you need. The owner is super friendly. The house is perfect for group of friends or families of maximum six persons.

Ein Ort zum Abschalten

Diese Ferienwohnung ist sehr schön in der Natur gelegen. Von der Terrasse und der Sauna hat man einen Blick auf den Garten. Da alles sehr hoch gewachsen ist, hat man auch vor allem beim Saunieren Privatsphäre. Die Ausstattung ist vollkommen ausreichend. Wir hatten ein entspanntes Wochenende.

Wanderwochenende

Die Lage des Objekts ist idyllisch und man kann direkt vom Haus aus schöne Wanderungen machen. Die Ausstattung ist tendenziell eher mäßig und das Objekt ist sicherlich nicht in einem guten und gepflegten Zustand. Zudem ist alles etwas beengt. Zustand und Ausstattung rechtfertigen jedenfalls nicht den Preis.

About the host

Hosted by Martin Gniewoß

Host profile image
The Bergisches Land has always been my destination for cycling tours and hikes. Since I have been renting ski lodges and holiday homes in the Alps for over 20 years, it was a special pleasure being able to design a holiday home for holiday guests just nearby...

Why they chose this property

I searched a very long time for a house in the Bergisches Land, since it had to be close to nature and no more than 30 min away from Cologne at the same time. In the summer of 2013 I finally found this wonderful house in Ketzberg! To me it was very much a matter of the heart: to realise all my ideas of a holiday home and to create a place in which you can recover and relax and feel absolutely comfortable. Hence, in the next two and a half years I spent - with the vigorous help of friends - every free minute in order to completely restore the house, to build a separate sauna house, and to create an autonomous creek, for example.

What makes this property unique

The house’s location is secluded, on the edge of the forest. Because it is set on a hill side, it offers beautiful views in the natural garden up to the forest's edge. The property is sunny like a forest clearing from March to the end of October. The light-flooded conservatory invites you to read surrounded by nature. “Up there”, there’s often snow in winter, while it is only raining in Cologne or Dusseldorf – I have been able to enjoy several sledge rides with my children. The big former garage seemed perfect to convert it into a sauna house with its terrace facing the garden...The forest baths are just a 5-minute walk away. They open for the summer holidays and offer a wonderful opportunity for refreshing - besides its 2 big pools, there is a children's pool, a playground, and a new wakeboard facility. I really like to be “up there” myself and have spent many hiking weekends with friends in the house, enjoying the sauna afterwards and some delicious barbecued food on the terrace...
