Happynest Vacation Rental
We felt very welcome thanks to our host Torsten. The apartment was perfect for the four of us. Everything was available, we were able to barbecue despite the rain under a cozy awning and Torsten was always very friendly and helpful. We would always use this apartment again.

KOMM - Terrace - Parking - Kitchen - Box spring bed
Beautiful place in a peaceful place, definitely recommend it

Apartment Uniblick
Wilhelm made sure that a friend could wait for me, give me the keys and explain everything, when he could not come himself personally. This friend then guided me by phone through the dark town so that I reached the place safely. :-) The one-room apartment (with separate bathroom) had comfortable interior with high ceiling, so that it felt cozy and spacious at the same time.

Beautiful Loft in Jena / Cospeda
The accommodation has a great value for money, top amenities, appealing furnishings and a beautiful location. Overall, a top recommendation for a stay close to nature in the region. Especially Michael as a host was a very pleasant experience. Absolute recommendation, I will come back!

Old forge
Great apartment with great amenities! The treats for our dog were especially great. We felt right at home.

Maisonette - Vacation home "Stelluna" on the local mountain
Very nice and quiet place to stay with a great view of the city. The bathroom was super new. The shower is a little tight, but it's doable. For several people, it must be clear that everything is open and the bathroom is upstairs. Maren is super friendly and very reliable. The place is highly recommended.

Small, cosy apartment on the outskirts of Jena
We had a great stay at Antje's. Insanely fast in Jena and adjacent villages. Despite the highway nearby, extremely quiet. In the kitchen, everything is available to take good care of yourself. Discount stores and bakeries can be reached in the neighboring towns within 5-10 minutes. A great nature reserve on the Saale with a swimming spot between Göschwitz and Lobeda can be reached in 8 minutes. We'd love to come back and can only recommend the location, amenities and also contact with Antje as this was absolutely brilliant and straightforward from start to finish. Parking is available right in front of the house.

NEW 2025: 30 sqm apartment, fully furnished, modern
Thank you for the short but unforgettable stay. We felt super comfortable from the first second. Conny and Henry are sooo likeable people! The apartment is very lovingly and lovingly furnished. We love it at your place and would be happy to come back 🫶🏼 Thank you for everything!
