Vacation
For several years now, we have been spending the best time of the year, namely the vacation, with the Ottemann family in Barkow on the Mecklenburg Lake District. We always like to come back and are already looking forward to the coming year. The Ottemann family is always helpful and is gladly available for questions. The holiday home is very clean and spacious. The property is located directly on the Elde, and for us, it is always nice to enjoy the idyll and the peace there. Family Hecker

Wolz / Surma vacation 2023
We found it very very great. Not only that you can go directly to the canal from the house and drive through the canal with the boat. But also that you don't need to drive far to go shopping.
The owners are very nice and helpful.
Can only recommend.

Simply beautiful.
"It was simply beautiful. You could be at peace and recover from the stress. The property of the Ottemann family is simply a dream. The property is located directly on the Elde, where there is also a boat that can be used - a dream for anglers? We didn't want to go home again. That's why we plan on coming back. Greetings from the Simon family from Franken."

Holiday in one of the most beautiful federal states
For some years now we have been spending the most beautiful time of the year, namely our holidays, with the Ottemann family in Barkow in the Mecklenburg Lake District,
The Ottemann family has a very beautiful property, where you can see immediately that there is a lot of attention to detail, the flat is clean and spacious,
We have already been here a few times and are looking forward to our holiday in August with the Ottemann family. I would also like to mention that the property is located directly on the Elde and there is nothing in the way of a boat trip with a rowing boat or motorboat and for me it is always nice to grab the fishing rod
