Super house for a big family reunion!

We had a great time with the extended family! The spacious house offers plenty of room. The elaborately renovated house left nothing to be desired. Large, bright rooms, some with private bathrooms. The kitchen is large and practically equipped. The common rooms are nicely furnished and meet all needs.
We were able to sit outside by the river and in the sun and barbecue when the weather was nice.
Many places of interest in the immediate vicinity invite you to make excursions for every taste.
Highly recommended house with lots of charm and the outdoor area has lots of potential!
Thank you!

House on the Bode

The house is very large, the kitchen is an absolute highlight, there are 3 large kitchen areas, 2 stoves, 2 dishwashers, 3 sinks, and enough seating space. The rooms are large, on the upper floor there are 3 rooms with their own bathroom. In the garden, you can sit comfortably, make a fire in the stove, and in the fire pit.
The location is not far from two show caves. Very nice house with lots of space and good quality.

Great house for relaxing and for large groups.

We have been regular guests at this house for many years and always come with a larger group.
It's great that there are many common areas, so you don't always have to sit on top of each other. The highlight for us is the new covered terrace (you have to bring your own firewood for the heater) and the huge bonfire pit.
All the rooms are spacious and functional, and it's great that there are now many more washing facilities than before. The new large kitchen is awesome!
It's fantastic to sit on the terrace in the evening after a trip to the Harz (there's more to discover here than you think!), light up the grill, and watch the lively Bode River. Pure relaxation.
By the way, the caretaker is absolutely fantastic!
The "White House by the River" is a great accommodation for groups who have outgrown the charm of bunk beds and shared showers in youth hostels but still want to spend time together. Pippi Longstocking has grown up with the renovation of the house.
We will be back!

Beautiful house situated idyllically

We came to the White House for a family gathering and felt very comfortable! The check-in was uncomplicated and we were greeted nicely! The house offered us more than enough space (17 people). The kitchen equipment is great! We cooked big meals every day and didn't miss any utensils! The living area is cozy and the rooms perfect for retreat. Even in February, the surrounding area was inviting, with the creek right by the house and fields and forest around the corner.
Highly recommended, we will come back :)

Beautiful house in a great location

The White House on the River completely won us over with its charm and idyllic location directly on the Bode. We spent a great weekend there with 25 people. Due to the spacious rooms, the large kitchen and the cosy living room, the house is also well suited for larger groups. Situated in a quiet valley, with a large garden and direct access to the river, the house invites you to relax, especially in summer (barbecue equipment was also completely available). In a radius of approx. 15 min. by car, many of the highlights in the Harz mountains such as the Teufelsmauer, the Rappbodetalsperre or Wernigerode can be reached easily. Some renovations and cosmetic repairs to the house are certainly still to be carried out (e.g. in the outdoor area) and the rooms could be furnished with a little more attention to detail. However, this should all be done by next year
For us, the house had enough charm of its own. Therefore, it completely fulfilled our expectations and we would come back anytime. Many thanks to the nice caretaker, who helped us with all our questions in an uncomplicated way.

Class house

We were able to book the house spontaneously for 4 days and were very surprised that everything was so beautifully furnished and clean. There are still a few small things missing but you can overlook that. We also liked the fact that when we needed the caretaker, he was quickly on the spot. We will definitely come back next year. Greetings Monika

We can recommend the house very well

We really liked the White House on the River with its idyllic location directly on the River Bode. We, a group of people with disabilities (14 people + carers), were able to spend a great 4 weeks in the house. We were one of the first groups to occupy the house after the renovation. Of course, there were still a few small things missing, but we could overlook that. We liked the spacious kitchen, TV room, games room, recreation rooms, washing machine, dryer, gas barbecue and also the large garden overlooking the river Bode. The house had many advantages for us and fully met our requirements. Thanks also to the caretaker, who was always uncomplicated and helpful with his expertise and friendliness

We can highly recommend the house!

Nicht sehr Einladend

Wir hatten das Haus für ein Wochenende und eine Familienfeier gemietet. Wir wussten auch, dass es außen noch renoviert wird. Aber die Renovierung ist auch innen noch lange nicht fertig. Im Flur gibt es Lichtschalter ohne Abdeckungen. Viele Fenster lassen sich nicht öffnen. Hierbei handelt es sich um alte Doppelfenster aus Holz, was eigentlich nicht das Problem wäre, wenn nicht die vielen toten Insekten im innern wären. Diese finden sich auch in einigen Lampenschirmen wieder. Das war auch das eigentliche Problem die Sauberkeit, schmuddelige Stühle mit Brandlöchern, Spinnweben an den Wänden, die Esstische verschmutzt, was auch kein Wunder ist, da weder Tischdecken, noch Untertassen vorhanden sind . Die Aussenanlage ist noch nicht schön. Die Terrasse an der Bode besteht aus einer zerbröckelnden Betonplatte und die Mauer sieht aus, als wenn sie jeden Moment zusammenfällt. Teilweise ist sie durch einen Drahtzaun abgesperrt. Die Stühle und Tische waren uralt, vergammelt und teilweise unbrauchbar.
Das war das was uns nicht gefallen hat.
Positiv in diesen Haus sind die renovierten Zimmer mit Bad (ohne WC) die Küche und die Lage zu nennen, aber das reicht nicht um sich wohl zu fühlen. Gastlichkeit geht anders. Wir wollten nicht nur meckern und hoffen dass die Probleme abgestellt werden, damit es ein Pippy Langstrumpfhaus wird.

Answer from Adri & Klaas:

Danke fur ihr bewertung.
Wir haben fur ein halbes Jahr eine ganz grosse Renoviering gemacht um das Haus fertig zu haben fur dem Sommer. Da ist ein neue Kuche, sieben neue Badezimmer, ein neue Spielzimmer, ein neue TV Zimmer, neue fliesen und das complette Haus ist von innen gemahlt. Neue Sthule sind unterweg und die Venster werden im nachseizon repariert.
Wir haben sie gemeldet wan Sie gebucht haben das das Haus niet complet fertig war aber das es viel besser ist wie auf die foto's die dabei gehorren . Und wir haben die alte Preis fur Sie berechnet.
In kommendes Herbst und Winter werd das Haus complet fertig gemacht und hoffentlich kommen Sie noch mal das weisse Haus am Fluss anschauen und mitmachen wie schon die Harz ist
