Nadine B. from Berlin
Family friendly
The John family is super friendly; we were welcomed with coffee and delicious cookies. The view from the balcony is beautiful. There was more than enough space for us in the house. We were 2 adults and 3 children. Another double bed is located on the lower floor. Personally, I was a bit disturbed that there seem to be garden sheds nearby, where it was sometimes quite loud until late evening. Nevertheless, we felt very comfortable. The garden is great for children. I would wish for the equipment to include, for example, a baking dish and a baking pan, as well as a mixer. Otherwise, there is nothing to complain about. There are plenty of excursion destinations; for instance, we were at the fun park on Inselberg. There, you can zoom down the large summer toboggan run, among other things. We would be happy to come back. One more personal word to Mrs. John, thank you for the warm welcome and the nice conversation we had. Thank you very much!

Hiking vacation
The vacation home is located on a slope with a real view of the Rennsteig. It was the starting point for beautiful hikes, for example to the Henneberger Haus, into the Roßbachtal or to Burg Maienluft. The beautiful city of Schmalkalden was also easily accessible on foot. Our granddaughter was happy about the slide and swings, the adults about the table tennis table and barbecue area. We felt very comfortable and can only recommend the vacation home. The jam donated by Mrs. John also tasted very good.

New Year's Eve in Schmalkalden
We stayed with 9 people (8 adults and one child) over New Year's Eve in the holiday home (including the flat) and were very satisfied. The house has a great view over the city and we could watch the New Year's Eve fireworks from the house or from the balcony. The location is good and we had enough space with 9 people. Each family had their own bedroom and the large table was great. We can recommend the holiday home 100%.
Thank you.
