Description
Forsthaus Leonard*****
Our Forsthaus Leonard***** is designed to give you a break from stressful and fast-paced everyday life. Its secluded location on a 2,000 m² plot with unobstructed lake and forest views conveys a great feel-good atmosphere.
The forester's lodge has recently been completely renovated and given a fresh new look. (2020/2021)
With a direct view of Petersdorfer See, Forsthaus Leonard***** is situated in Biestorf, in a quiet location surrounded by beautiful woods and idyllic meadows for cycling and with walking opportunities. There is lake access in the immediate vicinity of the house. The bathing beach is 1.5 km away. The bathing beach can be reached on foot (18 min) or also by car (3 min).
The cosily furnished forester's cottage has a spacious living area with a cosy living landscape. You can listen to the crackling of the wood in the fireplace. The fireplace spreads a cosy atmosphere of well-being in the dull months of the year. For TV lovers, a 75-inch flat-screen TV with in-house Netflix hangs on the wall.
The dining area in the conservatory with its lake view offers a lovely ambience for playing games together and cosy meals. This is followed by the fully equipped kitchen with Miele built-in kitchen appliances, which leaves nothing to be desired. (Everything is furnished with love down to the last detail)
The house has two bedrooms upstairs and one bedroom downstairs. The bedroom on the ground floor has its own adjoining bathroom. All bedrooms have flat screen TVs and wardrobes. There are two box spring beds and one spring mattress bed. There are two additional beds in the children's room.
Each room is individually furnished and spreads a cosy, inviting flair
The bathroom on the upper floor offers you a bathtub as well as a floor-level, glazed Raindance shower, washstand with two sinks, towel warmer and toilet.
You will also find a place to read your favourite book.
In the basement you will find our common rooms, which invite you to cosy rounds of games. The facilities include a pool table, foosball table, 55-inch flat screen TV, exercise bike and various games for young and old. Or you simply want to switch off and relax in our sauna. A separate laundry room is also located in the basement, equipped with a Miele washing machine and dryer.
The non-smoking forest house is perfect for 2-6 adults and two children. Additionally, the accommodation of a toddler/baby in a baby travel cot is given
The large, sunny terrace with a view of the Petersdorfer See lake is fully equipped and offers you the necessary peace and relaxation
For cosy and harmonious evenings, there is a barbecue (you have to bring your own charcoal). Cool drinks with ice cubes from the side-by-side ice cube dispenser for balmy summer evenings round them off.
A playhouse with slide and swing for the little ones can be used individually.
A garden shed offers space for 2 bicycles and serves as other additional storage space
Car access directly to the house is available and offers convenient, short access to the house. Car parking spaces are available directly at the house.
Let yourself be enchanted by the idyll at Petersdorfer See!

Shopping facilities, bakers, cafés and restaurants, often located directly on the lake, small shops, the town harbour, museums, the town church, as well as the monastery with its organ exhibition are all within easy reach in Malchow. The passenger boat companies tempt you with excursions to Lake Fleesensee, Lake Plauer See, or Lake Müritz, the largest inland lake in Germany.

Simply great
Here a wonderful place has been created that could not have been designed better. One can see that it is about more than just the mere rental of "any" holiday property. Despite absolute modernity, high quality, and great comfort, the character of the old forester's house has been preserved during the renovation. It was planned and implemented with expertise and a large portion of love. This makes the entire area incredibly charming. The elevated single location at the edge of the forest, the lake view, the mouflon (if you're lucky ;o)), the fire bowl, the design of the outdoor area including generous park spaces, and so on contribute to it. One can hardly want more if one is enthusiastic about nature and tranquility. Perfect for me, therefore the next booking is already in planning. The uncomplicated, friendly contact and quick booking process should not go unmentioned either. Thank you very much for that, Ms. Brandt.
Answer from Mr. A. Strauch:
Liebe Antje P.,
herzlichen Dank für Ihre wundervollen Worte – wir haben uns wirklich sehr darüber gefreut! Es bedeutet uns viel zu lesen, dass Sie die besondere Atmosphäre des alten Forsthauses ebenso schätzen wie wir und dass die Mischung aus Modernität, Komfort und dem ursprünglichen Charakter bei Ihnen so gut angekommen ist.
Auch die Lage am Waldrand, der Blick auf den See und die kleinen Naturmomente – wie das Muffelwild – machen diesen Ort für uns besonders. Umso schöner, dass Sie all das genauso genießen konnten.
Vielen Dank auch für Ihr Lob zum Kontakt und zum Buchungsprozess. Es freut mich sehr, dass alles für Sie unkompliziert und angenehm war.
Dass Sie bereits Ihre nächste Buchung planen, ist für uns das schönste Kompliment.
Wir freuen uns schon jetzt darauf, Sie wieder begrüßen zu dürfen!
Herzliche Grüße

Finally found
After years of searching for a vacation home that meets all our wishes, we have finally found the top vacation home for us and our two Hovawarts. Everything is really there, just as described by the landlord. Nothing is missing, quiet secluded location, high-quality furnishings, comfortable beds, and plenty of space. It is a true feel-good oasis. We spent 15 days of truly relaxing vacation - - and of course booked again for next year--

Answer from Mr. A. Strauch:

Es ist schön zu hören, dass Sie 15 erholsame Tage bei uns verbringen konnten – genau das ist unser Ziel: einen Ort zu schaffen, an dem man abschalten und genießen kann. Umso mehr freut es uns natürlich, dass Sie direkt wieder für nächstes Jahr gebucht haben!
Bis dahin wünschen wir Ihnen alles Gute – wir freuen uns schon jetzt auf ein Wiedersehen mit Ihnen und Ihren beiden Hovawarten!
