About this property

Cozy vacation apartment in a historic half-timbered house

Our guesthouse was Ilfeld’s first school and was built around 1800. It is located in a very central spot in the oldest part of Ilfeld. Just 50 metres away is a private butcher shop with a small supermarket attached. Our local baker delivers bread and rolls there. You can have breakfast or lunch at the butcher shop’s snack bar. We host barbecues every Friday throughout the year. The town features an ice cream parlour, butcher shop, bakery, newsstand, post office, drink store, EDEKA supermarket, pharmacy, doctor’s office, Harzer Schmalspurbahn train station, bus stop, church, and a dialysis centre for guests with kidney disease. Internet access via our in-house Wi-Fi hotspot is included in all apartments. The beautiful outdoor area, with its many flowers, lawn for sunbathing, and outdoor seating, invites you to rest, relax, or have a barbecue. Enjoy the view of the mountains and the charming half-timbered houses. Our apartments are lovingly furnished, and each is named after one of the surrounding mountains or rock formations. Every shower and kitchen has a large window. Depending on the season, our laundry is still dried outdoors in the breeze and sunshine.
You’ll be staying in the “Herzberg” holiday apartment, which sleeps up to 5 people (approx. 60 m²), on the 2nd floor. It’s a studio-style apartment featuring a very large living-sleeping area (approx. 40 m²) with a flat-screen TV, upholstered furniture, a closet, a coat rack, a double bed, and an additional upholstered daybed, as well as a bedroom (the bedroom with two single beds, which can also be pushed together, is located directly above the holiday apartment and is accessible via a staircase). Kitchen with electric stove, dining table, refrigerator, etc., as well as a window for ventilation; bathroom with shower, sink, toilet, and a window for ventilation offering a view of our mountains.
