Very beautiful holiday home
We had a very nice week in the holiday home. The holiday home is clean and furnished with great attention to detail. You feel very comfortable. Everything you need (even for cooking yourself) is available. The Wi-Fi is excellent throughout the house and very fast for a holiday accommodation. The communication and key handover is excellent. We would love to come back.

We were all excited.
Wonderfully cozy and very well maintained house with a large garden. The hosts are very friendly and accommodating. Everything went very smoothly and we felt incredibly comfortable and had a great stay. The beautiful Dankernsee lake can be reached in just a few minutes on foot. Highly recommended!

We, a family with 3 children, had a wonderful time at Haus Sonnenschein. There were play options both outside and inside for the children. The vacation home has everything you need. It is situated beautifully in a green area. Not far away is a great playground. Dankernsee is very beautiful with many activity options.
