Description
☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆
Autumn in the garden, the quiet time begins
☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆
Our country house is a former Gulfhof from the 2nd half of the 19th century, with direct water access
in the middle of Loppersum, a tranquil little village near Emden. The former barn area has been lovingly transformed into large, bright rooms. We laid special emphasis on the comfortable design of the rooms. The apartment has a separate entrance, a generous 80 sqm living area, 2 large bedrooms, a living-dining room, as well as a spacious bathroom and a kitchen. Our guests have their own, comfortable sauna in the apartment. The large terrace on the south side of the house invites you to sunbathe and lets your gaze wander into the well-maintained, park-like garden, which extends to the Knockster Tief.

Location and surroundings of object
Our comfortable holiday flat is located in the rear part of a former Gulfhof, which dates back to about 1850. The rooms have been completely renovated, a new bathroom and a new kitchen with dishwasher and all necessary equipment have been installed. The flat has good comforts such as underfloor heating in the bathroom, a floor-level shower, washing machine, free Wi-Fi in the living area, as well as flat-screen TV, mini hi-fi system and DVD player. The house is situated on a plot on the edge of the Warf. A more than 2000sqm park-like garden ends directly at the canal. Our guests have their own boat with electric outboard motor for free use, or let us show you East Frisia on a boat tour with our 7-seater boat. Anglers also have every opportunity to pursue their hobby with us; carp, pike-perch, pike and eel are at home here. Not only on cold days we recommend a visit to the sauna, which offers enough space for 4 people, and ensures relaxation and well-being. For those interested in art and culture, visits to the Ostfriesisches Landesmuseum (East Frisian State Museum) and the Emder Kunsthalle (Art Gallery) are highly recommended, as is a visit to the neighbouring towns of Aurich and Norden. Extensive hikes are possible by bike or on foot, as well as surfing and sailing on the Großes Meer, a shallow inland waterway of over 400ha in size a few kilometres away. In cold winters with longer periods of frost, the East Frisian canals are used for 'geschöfelt', ice skating, a wonderful pleasure for all ages Loppersum is an old warf village not far from Emden with a small church at the top of the warf. Next to the church is Loppersum Castle, in the middle of a very large garden. Our house is situated in a dead-end street, so there is very little car traffic. In the middle of the village runs a low, which is the name of the canals in East Frisia. Since East Frisia lies to a large extent below sea level, the land has to be artificially drained, otherwise it would be under water. This is done by means of the lows, the water from which is then pumped out of the dykes by large pumping stations on the coast. The canals run like a net through the whole of East Frisia and are not least a paradise for boaters and anglers, especially as it is said of our lowland that it is one of the particularly rich waters for fish.

The best accommodation for me as an angler that I have had so far.
The Eckenga family welcomed us very warmly and served a homemade bread as a greeting. We found a very beautiful and well-equipped apartment that left nothing to be desired. Mr. and Mrs. Eckenga were very pleasant hosts who quietly ensured the guests' well-being and were available with advice and assistance. The wonderful garden and the direct location by a good fishing spot are particularly worth mentioning. We would gladly return and highly recommend this apartment.

The welcome was warm, the house, the rooms, the estate itself, a dream. Since the host and his wife are culinary experts, I got along very well. Fishing was good, and the relaxation factor was top-notch. A very good recommendation. Thank you.

An East Frisian dream in May
Looking for a holiday home in East Frisia, we discovered the Haus am Tief. We wholeheartedly confirm all previous reviews from guests; the loving hospitality of Mrs. and Mr. Ekkenga enriches the entire ambiance, the apartment itself, the terrace, and the beautifully landscaped garden. Since the weather gods blessed us with glorious sunshine every day, we were able to reach many beautiful destinations in East Frisia by bike. And the enchanting view of the Knockster Tief offered us well-deserved relaxation from morning to evening. A highlight was also the personal insight into Mr. Ekkenga's bread baking art, the bread tastes excellent as do his corresponding wine recommendations! We thank you very much for the beautiful days and wish Mrs. and Mr. Ekkenga all the best! Best regards from Munich.

Pure relaxation in a wonderful atmosphere.
The holiday home of Grete and Martinus Ekkenga is perfectly suitable for a vacation. The equipment is of high quality and includes everything the heart desires. The wooden terrace overlooking the park-like garden provides ample space for relaxation with two loungers, a beach chair, and a dining table with chairs. The Ekkenga couple is available with advice and assistance, they provided us with homemade bread and handmade soap, and also arranged a highlight of our vacation: a ride through the surrounding canals with their own boat to the city center of Emden. The explanations and guidance from the Ekkenga couple were pleasant and very interesting, and the visit to the "best fish stand in the world" in the port of Emden was truly enjoyable.
Additionally, Lokkersum is a good starting point for various bike tours to explore the East Frisian landscape and soul; also, Europe's most crooked church tower is in close proximity.
In short: The accommodation and the landlords are 100% (and more!!!) recommendable.

The flat leaves nothing to be desired. We can fully underline all the positive reviews so far.
We wanted to switch off for a few days and relax from the hectic everyday life and the house is the ideal place for it.
It was by far the most lovingly furnished and cleanest holiday home we have stayed in in recent years. The accommodation has everything you need to spend a relaxing time. Everything is clean and stylishly furnished. The furnishings are far above the usual average!!!

Wunderschöner Urlaub
In September, we were two guests for a week in the holiday apartment Haus am Tief. The location is ideal for trips in the area, whether by car or bicycle. The apartment is decorated with attention to detail, and we immediately felt comfortable. The very nice and unobtrusive landlords also contributed to this, helping with tips to explore the surroundings. Additionally, we were spoiled with self-baked bread of various varieties. There is a nicely furnished seating area by the water that makes every angler's heart beat faster. In short, we can only say that all the positive reviews are true, and we will certainly come back.

Highly recommendable holiday apartment with high recreational value
In June 2021, we spent very relaxing days at Haus am Tief. Upon arrival, we were warmly welcomed by our hosts. The beautiful, well-maintained house is equipped with everything a holiday guest could wish for. The furnishings are high quality and the rooms are tastefully decorated. The very comfortable mattresses made for good and restful sleep in the quiet residential street. There is a large terrace with a magnificent view of the garden, inviting for breakfast and equipped with sun loungers and a large, comfortable beach chair. Truly relaxing!
We were particularly impressed by the large, lovingly designed garden, resembling a park - and this is by no means an exaggeration! Under the large trees, there are various small, shady spots with seating for lingering and relaxing. In the canal that borders the garden, we enjoyed cooling off on hot days. For those who wish, you can explore the surroundings with the motorboat, which is also part of the equipment. Or use the available bicycles to enjoy the landscape on well-developed and signposted paths and discover the diverse nature. We were spoiled by our hosts with homemade bread (the toast bread is legendary) and rolls, as well as jam, wine selection (we particularly enjoyed the rosé from the David Spies winery), and a large collection of information material and books about the area. Other highlights included a boat trip to Emden with Mr. Ekkenga as a knowledgeable tour guide, as well as an evening picnic at sunset on a nearby lake with our warm hosts. It felt like a vacation with friends, so we will happily come back again.

Our holiday got off to a great start with a warm welcome from the Ekkenga couple. The apartment was clean and equipped with everything as described. The fantastic view of the park-like garden and the time spent by the canal was a delight. The private sauna was also welcome. On the large terrace, you could relax and unwind. During our pleasant conversations, we received many good tips for our activities. A big surprise was also the delicious freshly baked bread from our host. Since Mr. Ekkenga gave me a crash course in bread baking, I successfully baked a wonderful rye bread at home. We had a very nice stay in your great holiday home and say thank you very, very much.

Repeat offender East Frisia
We have been on vacation in East Frisia several times. Each time in a holiday home by the water, as my husband is a passionate angler.
Many things fit together here: the friendliness of the Ekkenga family, the location of Loppersum, the fish stock in the Knockster Tief, the sauna in the apartment for a bit of wellness in between, and the dreamlike, almost park-like garden.
Everything was so good on this vacation that we have already booked for next year. We are looking forward to it and send warm regards.

Relaxing holiday.
We were welcomed by two very warm hosts who were always there to help us, two adults and two children (10 and 14 years old), throughout our entire vacation. Whether it was a question about the nearest bakery, a worthwhile excursion destination, or a restaurant in one of the neighboring villages, there was always a recommendation that turned out to be a perfect fit. The direct access from the beautiful garden to the water and the included boat with an electric motor especially appealed to our 10-year-old, he felt like he was fishing all the time, and successfully so. The 14-year-old was very satisfied with the stable Wi-Fi to stay in touch with her friends. The provided bicycles were in good condition and offered the opportunity to bike to the bakery in the morning and to take a bike tour on the well-developed bike paths in the area. The house is very tastefully furnished, we lacked nothing. We also greatly enjoyed the existing sauna. All in all, a wonderful, relaxing vacation. We would like to once again send a heartfelt thank you to our hosts who provided us with such a beautiful, relaxing time. We will gladly come back.
P.S. The house and the garden really look like they do in the posted photos! 😊
Oh, and last but not least, a small tip from us: A visit to the Mill Café on the weekend is definitely worth it, the cake there is super delicious!!!

The boat tour was especially beautiful. Loppersum is a good starting point for explorations, whether to the islands or to Holland. In the beautiful garden, one can relax and unwind. We found the amenities of a washing machine and dryer to be excellent, you can drive home with clean laundry. This property is not suitable for a pure beach holiday.

Recommended for anglers.
I spent 3 days at the "Haus am Tief" with my best friend. I am writing here as an angler and can only recommend the house. Directly from the terrace, you can walk through the very well-kept and beautiful garden to the Tief. Down by the water, there is a small tiled seating area. However, we sat with our fishing rods on the grass right by the water. Our catch was many bream (up to 2kg) and 3 eels. Grilling with charcoal is no problem. Swimming is also possible. We were both in. In the middle, it is about 2 meters deep.
The holiday home itself was very well maintained and modernly equipped. Everything was available.
The landlords were very nice. One felt immediately comfortable there. We would come back immediately.

We arrived and immediately felt at home in the holiday flat, which was furnished with great attention to detail. The Ekkenga family has succeeded in combining modern and high-quality furnishings (kitchen, bathroom, sauna) with a lot of cosiness and East Frisian tradition (e.g. beautiful pictures of the owner, tea set with East Frisian rose). The terrace and the large garden with many secluded spots and situated directly on the canal, invite you to stay and relax in good weather. The landlords are very nice and we not only received many good tips for excursions, but were also spontaneously served freshly baked waffles by the landlord while we were drinking East Frisian tea from the above-mentioned service on the terrace. With the bicycles, which we could borrow free of charge, we made very beautiful tours into the surrounding area (e.g. Three Seas Trail). It was a wonderful holiday and we will definitely come back soon.

You can usually get to the towns and highlights of the surrounding area quite quickly by car or, even more relaxed, by taking the house's own boat for a meal or shopping.

Perfect rest
Our holiday is now three weeks behind us, but despite the daily hustle and bustle setting in again, a few thoughts of the wonderful time are enough to feel the recreational value again.
The holiday flat, furnished with great attention to detail, radiates a lot of warmth with a high cuddle factor, while the functionality in the kitchen, bathroom and sauna is just as perfect
The huge garden plot with its tall trees invites you with its many possibilities to stay and look for a suitable shady spot even in this "hot" summer, starting from the breakfast terrace with beach chair and sauna loungers, over the bridge place at the pond to the shore seat at the low, which forms the natural property boundary. Guest bicycles and a guest boat with an electric motor provide opportunities for your own adventures of exploration in the surrounding area, e.g. to the "Grosse Meer" for swimming.
The landlords live in the other part of the house; so we had good conversations with many tips for our stay; questions could be answered quickly and comprehensively. Bread roll service is possible; the tea soap from our own production is pure pleasure.
Our daughter, who is studying in Emden, visited us, and our landlord offered to take us and his boat on a longer tour. So we headed for Emden from the low, docked briefly at the Kunsthalle and were able to drop our daughter off there. We glided back just as calmly and tranquilly, a wonderful adventure from an unusual perspective.
All in all, the comprehensive, loving care deserves the highest praise
With the car, shopping is quickly done and worthwhile sights or activities in the near and far surroundings are easily accessible in a day trip. To name but a few:
A visit to the cheese production in Pilsum, the seal station, Papenburg, Leer, adventure golf etc..
Here's to a new one and gladly again in the "Haus am Tief" with absolute recommendation!

Very nice holiday flat, beautiful location, very nice landlords
We were in Loppersum at the end of July with two children (11 and 7 years old) and were lucky to secure a free week in this wonderful holiday apartment relatively last minute. The location is truly fantastic, the garden is very lovingly and generously designed, the holiday apartment is spacious, nicely furnished, and extensively equipped. The landlords were the small highlight of the vacation: very helpful, very friendly, and incredibly patient despite our two extremely lively little ones (and the associated noise level) and never annoyed. Mr. Ekkenga offered us, right upon our arrival, to combine the necessary shopping for the weekend with a boat tour through the Knockster Tief. So we were able to get a picture of the wonderful landscape around Loppersum in the beautiful weather and at the same time stock up on the essentials at the supermarket in the neighboring village.
The area is ideal for extensive bike tours and short trips to the surrounding cities, such as Emden, Norddeich, Greetsiel, or even a day trip to Norderney.
There is also a large lake ("Großes Meer") nearby, which is fantastic for smaller children due to its shallow water depth. If the weather doesn't cooperate, the holiday apartment has a very nice sauna which we also enjoyed on a rainy day.
We would like to thank the Ekkenga family once again for the wonderful stay, and we would love to come back.

Traumhaft schön
A dreamily beautiful and relaxing vacation. The Ekkenga family takes care of the guests with a lot of heart and understanding. The garden is dreamy, and the spacious holiday apartment leaves nothing to be desired. The apartment is the ideal starting point for smaller and larger bike tours around the Great Sea, to Greetsiel, Ditzum, or just a shopping trip to Emden or Aurich. The highlight, however, was the boat trip with Mr. Ekkenga through the canals with a visit to the revolving lock. Thank you very much and we will gladly come back.

Traumhaftes Grundstück
We stayed in Loppersum for five nights in July. The holiday apartment was very clean, tastefully decorated, bright, friendly, and equipped with everything a holidaymaker desires. The property was (and probably still is ;-) amazing. Beautifully designed with, among other things, a lovely sitting area right by the canal. Enjoying the tranquility with a glass of wine was wonderful. The hosts were extremely friendly and helpful. Overall, a great vacation rental and highly recommendable! Greetings to Loppersum.

Wunderschöner Urlaub im Haus am Tief
On the recommendation of friends, we traveled to Loppersum to the Haus am Tief. When we arrived, we were greeted by a beautiful vacation rental, lovingly and affectionately decorated by the hosts. Beautiful artworks by the photographer Mr. Ekkenga adorn the entire apartment. The amenities (including a sauna) fully deserve the 4 stars. The house is very quiet, allowing for wonderful relaxation. The fantastic garden extends directly from the large terrace. We were fortunate to see the roses in full bloom. Every meter of the way down to the boat dock offers new motifs to discover. We would like to thank Mrs. and Mr. Ekkenga for their warm and caring hospitality during our vacation. Thank you for the bread service, the wonderful boat trip, the instruction in East Frisian tea-drinking, and much more. We can definitely recommend the house.

Feriendomizil - Erlebnis
Couple Ekkenga has created a small paradise in Loppersum with the holiday apartment. The garden is extremely well-maintained - the roses are a dream. Very good fishing opportunities, unfortunately mostly breams bit.
As a wheelchair user, I got along well in the apartment.
The kitchen is very well stocked, as I enjoy cooking it was a lot of fun - nothing was missing.
The apartment is very clean and tastefully furnished - we felt at home. Couple Ekkenga rightfully received 4 stars. Pleasant, friendly, and helpful hosts. We have stayed in numerous vacation rentals in Germany and abroad, and have never felt as comfortable as at Ekkenga's. Thank you. We can wholeheartedly recommend this apartment!

Great vacation in a very beautiful holiday apartment
We, as a family of 3, were guests at the Ekkenga family over Easter.
It was fantastic, the weather was great and everything was overall good.
The holiday apartment is cozy and furnished with a lot of attention to detail.
The landlords are very friendly and always helpful and courteous.
The evenings in the in-house sauna with a good glass of wine rounded off the stay. If you are not looking for a direct seaside location, you are in good hands here in a small quaint village Loppersum.
Thank you for the lovely days :)

Beautiful holiday in a quiet location
The house is very nicely furnished and the huge garden is simply a dream. We have laid in the garden several times with our daughter on a blanket and just enjoyed the peace and been able to relax. The house lacked nothing, our 9-month-old daughter was even taken care of (from the changing table to the travel cot to the baby bathtub). The kitchen is also very well equipped and leaves nothing to be desired. Mr. and Mrs. Ekkenga were always helpful and very friendly. The house is located in a very quiet area, but you can still reach numerous excursion destinations from there in a short time. Conclusion for us: The house is highly recommended and we will definitely not have been there for the last time.
Thanks again to the landlords for the many tips and best regards from Cologne.

Quiet and pleasant living during the vacation
the scent of roses that came into the apartment in the morning when airing it out is simply beautiful;
the combination of renovated "old" elements (e.g. room doors with door handles) and new items (e.g. magnifying mirror in the bathroom) is well chosen;
since the weather was not so consistent, it would have been great if a second sofa or a cozy armchair had been available.

We have now stayed for the second time with our little daughter at the Ekkenga family's house, and we enjoyed it very much again. The vacation rental is beautifully and elaborately furnished with many details and wonderful landscape photographs by the host. The equipment, from the cheese knife to the East Frisian sugar cones for tea, leaves nothing to be desired. With the boat, we could row directly from the garden through the canals, and our daughter could play in the garden. The Ekkenga family is very kind and helpful. We will gladly come back!

Using the sauna in the holiday apartment in the wet and cold weather was incredibly beautiful and relaxing.

In sunny weather, the terrace with a view of the garden invites you to relax, and if the Frisian summer takes a break, we highly recommend the sauna in the apartment.
Boat available for a fishing trip. (also, even though my men didn't have much luck fishing ;o)
Conveniently located for trips to the North Sea, Bremerhaven is also easily accessible. (Climate House and Emigration Center)
Tip: Mini-golf in Wiesmoor
By bike, you can easily reach Emden and the Great Sea, which is especially suitable for children as the water is very shallow. Surfers also have plenty of opportunities there. (Surf school)
In the area, you will find many paddle and pedal stations where you can explore the canals of East Frisia and take a bike tour.

Family vacation in great holiday apartment
We decided last minute to go on an Easter holiday and were very excited about the holiday apartment we found on the internet immediately because of the great photos.
We were not disappointed. When we arrived in Loppersum, we found a spacious, bright, and very tastefully furnished apartment. The terrace was fantastic as well. We enjoyed a first coffee in a beach chair with freshly baked scones made by the landlord. Here we had a great view of the lovingly maintained garden and the pond, which is inhabited by the two house ducks Napoleon and Josephine. The area invites you to go on outings. We can recommend visiting the tea museum in Norden and of course the seal rehabilitation center in Norddeich. But the bread roll service, which we enjoyed every morning, was also great. We felt very comfortable during the days we spent at the house by the Tief and can highly recommend both the holiday apartment and the surroundings for a great family vacation. It was a short but unforgettable holiday!

The adjacent Knockster Tief offers the opportunity for swimming and fishing. You can also take a boat trip. The kitchen is fully equipped. It is very rare to find a kitchen at this level, congratulations to Mr. and Mrs. Ekkenga. Cleanliness is a top priority and is taken for granted, everything is spotless. We stayed here for six weeks and were able to explore the entire region. There is really a lot of interesting things to discover. The tourism information offices are knowledgeable and well equipped with materials. The landlords, Mr. and Mrs. Ekkenga, live in the same house and are happy to answer questions. We naturally received the best tips from them. You can also take a boat trip with your own boat by arrangement. We liked it very much, we will definitely come back.

A dream for everyone
Not only the extraordinarily wonderful hospitality of the Ekkenga couple, but also the holiday home and the beautifully landscaped garden warmly invite you to a wonderful holiday. We felt incredibly comfortable during the week we rented the holiday home. The house and garden have been built with great attention to detail. Due to the fact that Emden is only a 5-minute drive from Loppersum, there is a large shopping opportunity "directly" in front of the house. Not only for cyclists, this area is simply fantastic, anglers will also not be disappointed with direct access to the Knockster Tief from the house garden. In one week, we caught 3 carp (see pictures), several bream, and pike-perch. On bad weather days (thankfully only one day), we took advantage of the very spacious sauna. We are already looking forward to another stay in this beautiful holiday home. Furthermore, we wish the Ekkenga couple all the best and thank them for everything.

House at Tief, Loppersum
We spent our nine-day, very relaxing vacation in East Frisia (end of June/beginning of July) in the spacious, well-equipped holiday apartment "Am Tief" in Loppersum. From here, we embarked on interesting day trips. At the beginning of our stay, we received great tips for activities and restaurant visits from our very friendly landlords, Ekkenga. This support was very helpful, as the variety of events announced in the information sheets were initially very confusing for us. Highly recommended for a visit are the Moormuseum in Moordorf (buckwheat cake and buckwheat pancakes) and the Dörpmuseum with action day on the last Saturday of the month. We took advantage of Emden's proximity for city exploration and a visit to the Kunsthalle. Evening summer concerts (Gezeitenkonzerte / Nachtorgel in Dornum, among others) were also enjoyable. The days at (location) were a delight and enriched our daily activities. We especially appreciated the caring contact with the Ekkengas. We are particularly thankful for the bread service in the morning, the casual chats sometimes with, sometimes without a glass of wine in the beautiful garden or on the terrace. We also thank you for the boat trip on the canal, which we started directly from the house garden. The entire living situation in the lovingly and very attractively furnished holiday apartment with a large garden (rose bloom in June!) at the house provided a very relaxing setting for our vacation. We thank Mr. and Mrs. Ekkenga.

My cycling friend and I booked a holiday apartment with 2 bedrooms for the first time, as we wanted to do day trips.
The reception and all contact beforehand were very warm and accommodating. The Ekkenga couple has a nice sense of humor, and we were absolutely satisfied with our accommodation. The area is wonderful for cycling with many lakes and canals, short and long routes. Greetsiel can be reached by bike in about 20 km, Emden-Petkum in about 12 km, so these are not long distances. And when you come back to a cozy and warm apartment after work in the evening, it's pure relaxation. Because the apartment is located outside, it offers pure tranquility. The garden invites you to idyllic evenings in warm weather, and in general, it leaves nothing to be desired for the heart. The baker with super fresh rolls and delicious bread can be reached by bike in 2.5 km, by car in just over 3 minutes.
We felt very comfortable and thank the couple for their super hospitable welcome.

...a lovely holiday season
One week family vacation in East Frisia was our wish, what we received was three in unrelenting coziness a time of relaxation and well-being. Of course, the bright, friendly, and lovely holiday apartment contributed to this, which quickly became "home", but the icing on the cake was the magnificent garden. In autumnal sun, we were able to spend a lot of time on the terrace, the English roses provided color and scent. It is probably impossible to list everything that makes this vacation address special, and everyone evaluates this based on different aspects, but one thing is certain:
Those looking for peace and relaxation, who appreciate the East Frisian landscape, and prefer a well-kept and sophisticated accommodation, will find exactly what they are looking for here. Thank you and greetings to Mrs. Ekkenga, my mental screensaver will be activated on demand starting tomorrow. Thank you and greetings to Mr. Ekkenga, the bread service was absolute luxury.

Relaxing autumn days in Hinte-Loppersum
Despite the bad weather, my wife and I spent a few very relaxing days in October 11 in a beautifully renovated semi-detached house. The landlords were very friendly and accommodating. Each morning fresh bread rolls were brought to us, and as a welcome gesture, a bottle of Riesling with Riedel glasses was on the table. The landlady has a knack for decoration and interior design, which is evident in both the apartment and the garden. Also worth seeing are the pieces hanging on the walls. The host is a landscape photographer well-known beyond the borders of East Frisia with regional exhibitions. All in all, a package that we did not expect in Hinte-Loppersum. What is offered here is usually sought in vain in this price range. We will gladly go there again.

Ein wunderbares Wochenende
In the "Haus am Tief," things are stacked deep in the East Frisian way, even more beautifully than described. The sauna is integrated into the house, allowing you to end the day wonderfully and completely undisturbed. The very beautiful black and white landscape photographs by the homeowner make every wall in the house an eye-catcher, and the other pictures by artists from the region are a joy. The arranged tea set is very inviting, and the tea provided is very delicious. The apartment is equipped with all comforts, not to mention the nice details like candles, matching decorations (hairdryer), and the view of the garden, which is a delight at any time. The beach chair on the spacious terrace invites you to linger, and we were very pleased with the homemade soap. A small tip for wine drinkers: have the fridge stocked with nicely chilled wine (wine list in the house), it's possible and fun to arrive to. Thank you to our hosts, we will recommend you and come back.

East Frisia at its most beautiful
Even though the time was actually way too short - thanks to the wonderful holiday home of the Ekkenga family, the time in Loppersum was simply fantastic! I will not forget this vacation with my 3 daughters anytime soon. So tastefully and lovingly furnished, so cozy, so clean and nice-smelling (non-smoking) - everything was perfect. The beautiful terrace allows a view of a garden area of the finest quality! The most beautiful garden in Loppersum... , which is bordered at the end by one of the navigable canals. A rowboat is available. Just beautiful.

Charming vacation apartment with probably the most beautiful garden in Loppersum.
At the beginning of September 2011, the four of us spent a long weekend at the holiday apartment "Haus am Tief". We felt very comfortable here and can highly recommend the apartment to anyone interested! The special highlights for us were, among other things:
- the particularly warm and personal care by the landlord couple, who live in the neighboring house
- the very quiet location right next to the house
- the beautifully freshly restored building (old farmstead)
- the well-equipped kitchen with high-quality crockery, authentic Frisian tea sets, and Fissler pots
- the brand new stylish and very clean bathroom
- the very large and especially nicely furnished bedroom "Captain's Room" with a view of the garden
- very spacious wooden terrace with a beach chair (!) ! ! ), terrace furniture, and 2 sun loungers.
- soon there will be a sauna in the house!
However, the most beautiful garden in Hinte-Loppersum is worth mentioning, stretching in gentle hills with old trees down to the small canal with its own mooring. In the middle of the garden, there is a small lake. It should be noted that the garden is specifically for small children to use only under supervision, as it cannot be secured. From Loppersum, you can reach numerous attractions of the coastal area in a short drive. A mudflat walk, a boat trip, or even a carriage ride with real Friesian horses are highly recommended! The landlords provided us with wonderful tips and provided us with very informative information. We will be back very soon!

Beautiful short vacation in Loppersum
The very tastefully furnished holiday apartment with a beautiful garden is located directly on the East Frisian canal system (Knockster Tief). Day trips can be booked by arrangement with the landlord (should not be missed). The landlords are very nice, open, and warm people who have offered our children and us a lot (red rowing boat, campfire, barbecue facilities, fresh bread rolls every morning). Unfortunately, we could only book a short vacation spontaneously but we would like to come back for a longer stay in the future. This vacation rental is highly recommended if you want to relax and unwind. We are looking forward to seeing you again and, of course, the sauna!

Our vacation in 2011 in the Ekkenga family's holiday home in Loppersum
A holiday apartment tastefully furnished with great attention to detail where we felt very comfortable with our 8-year-old grandchild. The hosts, Mrs. and Mr. Ekkenga, are very attentive to their guests, and you feel at home from the very beginning. The beautifully landscaped garden with access to its own jetty is a paradise, especially for anglers and water sports enthusiasts. This house is not only suitable for families with children but is also ideal for a romantic holiday for two. The bathing lake "Das grosse Meer" can be reached in just a few minutes by car (surfing and sailing possible). The house itself is located in a quiet street in the "Old Village" with typical small Frisian houses and exudes a lot of coziness. We will definitely come back!!!
