Location and surroundings of object
The Steiger-Gustav-Haus is only a 5-minute walk from the ski slope and about a 5-minute walk from the town centre and 3 minutes from the spa - right in the middle.
Altenau is a former free mountain town in the district of Goslar in Lower Saxony and today a health resort in the Upper Harz. Altenau was granted town charter in 1617. The town is a member of the Oberharz joint municipality.
The town is characterised by old miners' houses from the time when Altenau was a free mining town. The use of wood as a building material is typical of the region. The relatively small wooden church of St. Nikolai, built in the 17th century, is located in the town. The houses have been well adapted to the harsh winters since time immemorial and have an architectural style typical of the Harz Mountains.
Quite in the centre of the village is the imposing Schützenklippe, from which you can get an excellent panoramic view of the village.
germany's largest herb park was opened in Altenau in 2004. Many thousands of tourists visit the botanical garden every year, which is maintained all year round and displays a wide range of varieties. Other sights can be reached on foot via hiking trails. The Harzer Hexenstieg (Harz Witch's Path) leads to the Dammgraben with the Dammhaus and the Polsterberger Hubhaus. Hiking trails also lead to the Kellwasser valley at the pre-dam of the Oker dam and to Torfhaus in the Harz National Park.
The local history museum in Altenau offers an insight into the history of the Upper Harz. The exhibition there is particularly dedicated to presenting the living conditions in the Upper Harz, which were strongly influenced by mining and the professions that depended on it - metallurgy, forestry, charcoal burning and haulage.

Price based on the condition of the object
The second and third floors are available for rent. The owners of the house live on the ground floor. The managers (i.e., contacts for the rental) are other people. Some parts of the house are okay, while in others, one wishes the owners would renew something. What was annoying:
* the faucet around the sink is not tight - water runs into the cabinet or down the back (everything not sealed; reported)
* there were mice (they came in during our time, the manager immediately set traps)
* some interior doors do not close properly (reported)
* the doors are loud (reported)
* the front door must be locked twice, otherwise it does not close properly (we did not know)
* you are not allowed to play soccer on the lawn (stupid for the kids)
* it was quite cold at the beginning (it got warm slowly with the heating set to 4)
* the fireplace in the living room is not connected! * since it is an old house, to which something has always been added, there are some low doors and beams (<185cm)
* there is only 1 toilet per floor
What was OK/good:
* we paid about 20€ for electricity for 4 days (especially - the old heating is not electric); the deposit was fully refunded
* there are 3 parking spaces on the premises
* the common room is nice, practical, and large enough
* there were 2 refrigerators and a freezer (completely sufficient for 13 people)
* the location is good: Nahkauf, bakery, butcher, 2 playgrounds, and nature are all easily accessible on foot
* we slept well in the beds
recommend for: holiday with children

Evaluation Group House
The house is beautiful, very good location (shopping stores and bakery easily accessible, hiking trails are nice).
It is cozily furnished, with many people it automatically becomes snug.
The house fits just 21 people, this should be included in the listing, that it will be very tight and partly two people have to lie on 1.2m width.
Kitchen equipment has potential for improvement: for 21 people the pots are much too small and the plates are partly insufficient.
Another broom for cleaning would be good. The water pressure in the shower in the upper bathroom is unfortunately too low; in the lower shower, one floods the bathroom while showering.
The house has been freshly painted and has attention to detail, which is very nice; it is also cozily furnished.

Short vacation
We were received very kindly at the accommodation.
The house is cleaner than last year.
The glass panel (shower partition) on the bathtub could be sealed better, as water runs under the glass panel while showering...
The cover for the dishwasher is still missing in the kitchen (it doesn't look good visually).
The ventilation for the stove is also missing.
These things should be fixed. On the new garden grill, we sizzled the grilling food for the evening.

Schöne große Ferienwohnung
This vacation rental is huge and beautiful. You can use a large garden. The landlords on the ground floor are friendly and quiet. The area is also very quiet and beautiful. There is even plastic crockery and a high chair for small children. We will definitely check in again. This vacation rental is definitely suitable for large families or larger travel groups.

Weekend getaway
We were on site in March 2019 with a group of 10 adults. The house is functional with plenty of space and we found it very clean. We can recommend it :-)

Dear guests, i grew up in beautiful Southern Friesland, near the Neuchâtel primeval forest, but now, as a single mother with my three children, I enjoy living in the city. Growing up in the countryside was the best thing that could have happened to me. So I opened my house in Friesland, the Köpkenhuus, to my guests to give you this feeling of breathing freely too - if only for a holiday. It is nice to pass on things that you yourself have found fulfilling. The Steiger-Gustav-Haus and Karl's Ferienhaus in the Harz Mountains are the counterparts to the Köpkenhuus. It is a beautiful contrast to Friesland and it has its very own flair. It is located in the heart of the Upper Harz and everything is within easy reach from here. The different seasons can be experienced intensively here. The largest continuous forest in Lower Saxony is here and invites you to take a deep breath. Wish you a wonderful time in the houses of the Eilerschen Heimat!

«Steiger-Gustav-Haus» achieves a holiday rating of 4.2 (rating scale: 1 to 5) at 5 submitted reviews.
Einige Teile des Hauses sind OK, bei anderen wünscht man sich, dass die Besitzer doch mal was erneuern würden.
Was genervt hat:
* um die Spüle ist der Wasserhahn nicht dicht - es läuft in den Schrank oder hinten runter (alles nicht abgedichtet; gemeldet)
* es gab Mäuse (sind erst während unserer Zeit rein gekommen, Verwalter haben sofort Fallen aufgestellt)
* manche Innentüren schließen nicht richtig (gemeldet)
* die Türen sind laut (gemeldet)
* die Haustür muss man doppelt zuschließen, sonst schließt sie nicht richtig (wussten wir nicht)
* man darf auf der Wiese nicht Fußball spielen (blöd für die Kinder)
* es war am Anfang ziemlich kalt (wurde mit Heizung auf 4 dann langsam warm)
* der Kamin im Wohnzimmer ist nicht angeschlossen !
* da es ein altes Haus ist, an dem immer mal was dazu gebastelt wurde, gibt es einige niedrige Türen und Balken (<185cm)
* es gibt nur 1 Klo pro Etage
Was OK/gut war:
* wir haben für 4 Tage ca. 20€ Strom bezahlt (insb. ist die alte Heizung nicht über Strom); Kaution gab es voll zurück
* es gibt 3 Parkplätze auf dem Gelände
* der Gemeinschaftsraum ist schön praktisch und groß genug
* es gab 2 Kühlschränke und einen Frost (völlig ausreichend für 13 Leute)
* die Lage ist gut: Nahkauf, Bäcker, Fleischer, 2 Spielplätze und Natur ist alles gut fußläufig erreichbar
* wir haben gut geschlafen in den Betten
Es ist gemütlich eingerichtet, mit vielen Leuten wir es auch automatisch kuschelig
In das Haus passen gerade so 21 Leute, das sollte man in der Ausschreibung einbinden, dass es sehr eng wird und tlw zwei Leute auf 1,2m Breite liegen müssen.
Küchenausstattung hat Potential nach oben: für 21 Leute sind die Töpfe viel zu klein und die Teller reichen tlw nicht aus.
Ein weiterer Besen zur Reinigung wäre gut.
Der Wasserdruck in der Dusche im oberen Bad ist leider zu niedrig, in der unteren Dusche schwemmt man das Bad beim Duschen.
Das Haus wurde frisch gestrichen, und hat Liebe fürs Detail, das ist sehr schön, ist auch gemütlich eingerichtet.
Das Haus ist sauberer als letztes Jahr.
Die Glasscheibe (Duschabtrennung)auf der Badewanne könnte noch besser abgedichtet werden,da das Wasser beim Duschen unter der Glasscheibe durchläuft...
In der Küche fehlt immer noch die Abdeckung der Spülmaschine( sieht optisch nicht gut aus.)
Die Dunstablüftung für den Herd fehlt ebenfalls.
Diese Dinge sollte man in Ordnung bringen.
Auf dem neuen Gartengrill bruzzelten
wir uns das Grillgut für den Abend.
