Description
The Rikate is a thatched-roof, listed house and was built around 250 years ago. At that time, it served as a worker's dwelling for the Loitmark estate. Later, the artist Gerda Schmidt-Panknin, who is well-known in the region, used the stylish house as her inspiration and studio. From 1987 onwards, the Kate served as an art café and was christened the "Rikate" by the tenant at the time, Erika Jaep (nicknamed "Rika")
The Rikate (5 star DTV approved) now serves as a charming holiday home for holidaymakers who want to enjoy their most precious days of the year in a stylish & historic setting. In the Rikate, the holiday already begins when you move into the house, because a bottle of sparkling wine and a glass of jam await you as a welcome.
The house is 62sqm and is furnished in Nordic style with pine furniture but also with some antiques for decoration. All rooms still have the original floorboards, freshly renovated in light wood. The Rikate has a living room of approx. 25 sqm with sofa and recamiere as well as a separate dining area. The room is heated by the electric night storage heater or by the still functioning historic stove, which is also located in the living room
The most modern technology with flatscreen TV, DVD and music system (radio/CD) will entertain you if the weather is not quite so good. In addition, the small bathroom, a cloakroom and a spacious kitchen are located on the ground floor. The kitchen has another small dining table, large fridge with ice compartment, cooker with ceramic hob, dishwasher, microwave, kettle and a coffee machine.
In the hallway area you will find a reading corner with rattan furniture and a well-stocked selection of books. This area of the house is flooded with natural light through a large panoramic window with a view of the Schlei River, which is only 150m away, and therefore invites you to relax and linger
From the hallway, the stairs also lead up to the first floor, where the bedroom is located. The bedroom has a double bed (180x200)
A travel cot for toddlers and babies can be provided. Motorbikes or bicycles can be parked in the lockable garage, a car in the house's own car park
For exclusive use is the small, secluded garden (~300sqm), which is surrounded by a hedge and therefore hardly visible from others. Hollyhocks and colourful flower beds invite you to relax on the lawn or the garden set
You can reach the shore of the Schlei via the Fischergang in just 150m, where a public footbridge and park bench invite you to linger. It is about 350m to the Schleibrücke bridge and about 1000m to the centre of Kappeln. Restaurants, cafes and shops are within easy walking distance. The Weidefelder Baltic Sea beach is only 5 km away.

Overall assessment
Wolfgang C.
Absolute recommendation!
It was very cozy, including the furnishings. Furthermore, we particularly liked the location: After the hustle and bustle at the harbor, then the peace in the house - Simply beautiful. A umbrella might have been missing for bad weather.
L.
Ideal Location!
The location was ideal for us. Short distances on foot and quickly by car to the beach. Since we already knew Kappeln and the surrounding area, we had fixed destinations. We quickly felt very comfortable in the house. It is very lovingly and thoughtfully furnished. We had a very nice vacation here! A few more large cups would have been nice.

Vacation in the Rikate
We particularly liked that no car is needed; everything is within walking distance. The historical ambiance in the house, as well as the "green" surroundings. The tranquility and the "special" room climate and the tasteful furnishings in all rooms. The stove should be equipped with an induction cooktop (saves a lot of energy). In the shower, we would wish for a small basket for the shower gel. A topper for the bed would be nice. The front door sticks, and there was poor reception for some TV channels. I felt very comfortable, except for construction work from 09. 10. - 13. 10. 2025, directly on the street in front of the house (starting at 6:30 AM).
B.
Our vacation
The house has a nostalgic charm, and we particularly liked the overall impression of the house. The kitchen is well equipped, the garden is well maintained, and there is a cozy atmosphere. We also liked the reading corner and the central location. The shower and the toilet should definitely be refurbished. Additionally, we recommend pleated blinds for the front door windows, like in the bathroom.

We felt very comfortable here.
The house is very tastefully furnished, cozy, and suitable for its age. We felt very comfortable here and also had a great rest. The equipment, e.g., the kitchen, is up-to-date, and everything needed is available. We have no suggestions for improvement. The charm and character of the house should be preserved. The ambiance convinced us.

Schön fanden wir die liebevolle und respektvolle Sanierung/Renovierung und Ausstattung dieses wunderschönen Kleinodes in Kappeln.
Danke!!! für wunderschöne, erholsame Tage in Ihrem wunderbaren Haus!
Man ist auch sehr schnell in der Innenstadt.
Wir haben unseren Urlaub hier sehr genossen und kommen gerne wieder.
Das alles beschreibt den Kurzurlaub von mir und meinem Mann sehr gut. Unser kleiner Hund durfte zum Glück auch mit und so konnten wir die schöne Umgebung und die Ruhe in vollen Zügen genießen!
Lange Spaziergänge in Arnis und Kappelner Umgebunng waren tägliches Programm! Somit konnte sich der kleine richtig schön austoben. Das Haus ist sehr zu empfehlen!
Das Ferienhaus an sich, ist in seinem Stil echt eine große Abwechslung, zu dem was man normalerweise gewohnt ist. Zudem ist es sehr geschmackvoll und stilecht eingerichtet worden, und bot so eine sehr angenehme Art der Erholung und Entspannung.
Wir werden wiederkommen!
Wer das Besondere sucht und bereit ist, dafür etwas mehr zu bezahlen, ist hier genau richtig. Wir haben uns sehr wohl gefühlt!
So gemütlich war es, durchgekühlt vom Spaziergang am Strand in diese Kate zu kommen und bei Tee und Plätzchen am Ofen wieder aufzuwärmen! Wir kommen bestimmt und können die Unterkunft nur wärmsten weiterempfehlen!
