Manor by the lake - 2 storeys Loft - near cities
Anne's property is beautiful. It is peaceful and quiet and the area is wonderful.

Wiesenblick Vacation Rental
The apartment was perfect for us as a group of 7 friends for a relaxing weekend. The apartment was very clean, well equipped and in great condition. It is wonderfully quiet and you are quickly on the canal for nice walks. Martina answered our questions quickly, we highly recommend the apartment!

Private vacation home "BlessedHome" by the lake
My girls and I just wanted to escape everyday life for a weekend and relax. Laureen's house was perfect for that. We were warmly welcomed and everything was shown and explained to us (whirlpool). The house is cozy and modernly furnished. We felt right at home. The recommended restaurants were also great. So if you just want to unwind, Laureen is the place to be 🙂

As Nice As Paradise
Great host and a very nice place conveniently located. Great communications and clarity. Overall we were very happy with our stay.

Ferienvilla Forstwald
Beautiful house that completely meets expectations!

Wonderful summer house with garden
This was a perfect place to stay for our family with 3 children. The private (massive) garden was exactly what we needed to ensure our kids could still play without having to be too quiet, such as it is in most apartments. There were plenty of toys and a playground as a bonus. The host was wonderful and friendly, always checking on our needs and responding to our requests. One minor issue is that the kitchen doesn't have hot water so you need to get warm water from the bathroom for doing dishes. For staying in the summer, this place is ideal and we'd happily go back!

Historic barn
We’ve had a lovely stay at this beautiful barn home. The owner was responsive and kind. The weather was nice and we made use of the outside kitchen and the amazing heated pool (about 27C.). The home itself was very clean and cozy.

House with pool in the heart of Bochum
We felt very comfortable with Patricia and had a very relaxing time in Bochum. The house is as described, very spacious and cozy. The communication with the host was impeccable and very friendly. We were completely satisfied, especially the many bathrooms and toilets made the stay with 6 girls very easy!

Cozy apartment
The host was attentive to our questions and any issues that came up were quickly dealt with. The bedrooms were in the attic space, separate from the main level kitchen and living room area. We had pleasant weather and so the temperature in the rooms remained comfortable, but in a heatwave it would be different. The apartment kitchen had the basic equipment. Coffee machine with coffee available. Quiet apartment in a quiet neighborhood with parking on site. Groceries store two minutes walk. Walk to center town would be 20-25 minutes.

1Step2AllCities House&Garden Ferienhaus 94m2
The cottage is surrounded by greenery and yet is very well connected to the city by bus. We felt very comfortable. Everything was super clean, very well maintained and lovingly furnished. Our daughter particularly liked the foosball in the living room. Jens greeted us right upon arrival and gave us valuable tips for restaurants and shopping. We highly recommend this place!

Cozy half-timbered house in the Oberberg region
We've already been to here for the second time and - this time despite rainy weather - we felt very comfortable again!We were well provided with tips and hints from host Andrea. The kitchen is super equipped and above all the garden is wonderful thanks to roses and seating and even a fire bowl. On foot, we were able to quickly (5-10 min) leave the less exciting residential area behind us and were in the forest and fields with the cows. We will be happy to come back!

Living on the Alpakahof
We had a very pleasant stay. Cedric and his family are very kind and welcoming. We enjoyed spending a weekend on their farm. The alpacas are a great addition, very nice to meet them.

House with a large garden at the city park
Everything great, clean, apartment tastefully and modernly furnished, super nice contact. Everything well equipped and clean. Very helpful and did everything to give us a perfect stay. We will be happy to come back!

Charming half-timbered house in the countryside
Tiny house with everything you need. Especially the kitchen utensils were great (new and high quality). The washing machine (with integrated dryer) was great. For more than a few days, the house would be too small and not private enough for us. The location of the terrace on the (after all very quiet) street, without greenery and vis a vis with the landlords was not so attractive. Under the roof, it can get very warm in the summer.

House with rustic décor
I had very good stay. Pretty house, warm host, beautiful garden, everything is awesome.

Small house in the countryside
we had a wonderful weekend in Barbara's accommodation! Good bidding to Dusseldorf. The spaces were spacious with lots of privacy! Also the communication with Barbara was excellent, quick and friendly response. We will definitely come back!

Aldo's and Anna's Cottage
Definitely very helpful and accommodating and nice. It was clean and if you had questions you could ask right next door. Unfortunately, not much came out of the faucet in the bathroom, otherwise everything worked out.

Helmut's Cottage
It was just beautiful! We lacked nothing, and we ended up living there for three months! Once we didn't have any baking paper, I asked if they could help us. What could you and the next day we had a whole pack lying in front of the door. Really attentive. This and many other friendly gestures really made this stay a second home. It is also super child-friendly. What can I say, if we didn't live in the neighborhood, we would definitely come back 😉

House in Düsseldorf
A wonderful stay! The place was very clean, stylishly furnished and has everything you need. The area is very quiet and everything is within walking distance and quick to reach (shopping, train, etc.). Communication with Barbara was warm, accommodating and she was always available. If we are near Düsseldorf again, we will definitely stay here again :)

TOP 85 sqm duplex + terrace in the countryside & central
We were very satisfied and the communication with Nina was really great. The old town is within walking distance and we ate well there. There are many different restaurants and cafes.

Tasteful°half-timbered°65 m² in Solingen, NRW
The appartment was very cozy and well designed. Everything we needed was available at the home! We visited Düsseldorf with public transport and that was very well doable. Overall, a great place to stay to relax and visit the surroundings! Thanks to the kind host, Andrea

Small apartment with terrace
Wonderfully quiet and separate little apartment with everything you need, great bathroom with great shower, we liked it again, except for the weather, but Frank can't help it!

At the beach bath
We enjoyed the time in this beautiful apartment very much! The tranquility, the perfect location to the lakes and the bike path network, the lovingly designed garden, the nice decorative items, the extensive amenities of the apartment - everything was perfect!!! Everything as described; very clean and well-maintained new apartment. Flexible check-out and very good communication. Clear recommendation!
