This was the third time for us to spend our holidays in this beautiful place and yes, I mean it if I say 'best kept secret'! Gut Rechetsberg is not only offering a breathtaking view on the mountains and forests surrounding the compound, but it is a great package you get consisting of absolutely friendly and welcoming hosts, a spacious, confortable and not only tasteful, but well-thought-out interior. You will find everything you need to feel at ease with all the amenities a modern household would offer.
Kids will not want to leave the place: a monkey slide, a 3m trampolin, several swings, a large pond with hide away places - just to name a few outdoor facilities - will glue them to the compound and you will have to look for them when it's time to start the BBQ!
What makes this place so unique is the fact that it seems so remote and tranquil, yet a 10 minutes drive through the forest will get you to the closest supermarket, train station and good Bavarian restaurants, another 10-15 minutes to beautiful lakes and many surrounding viallages and the city of Murnau. Living in Hong Kong, there couldn't be a bigger contrast for us.
This place is large enough to accommodate family and friends and if needed, there is always the option to also rent the small appartment adjacent to the house and connected by a foot bridge.
I can only speak highly of Gut Rechetsberg and will hopefully have the chance to return many more times.
Well done Christine!!
