Location and surroundings of object
The garden has numerous secluded spots, a barbecue area and a bakehouse. It is largely accessible via paved paths and is situated in a beautiful landscape on a ridge with views of the surrounding forests, fields and villages.
Due to the surrounding flat Lower Rhine landscape, there are very big skies with fantastic cloud images and sunsets. Sometimes you get the feeling you could fly a little!
The swimming pool (6 x 12 m) is located in a 170 sqm tropically planted hall. It is not heated, it can be used (depending on the weather) from May to October by arrangement. It is equipped with an automatic chemical measuring and dosing station. The filter is rinsed every week.
A small sauna** with shower is also available by arrangement
The 25000 sqm park, swimming pool and sauna are shared by two other holiday homes (Blauhaus Galerie and Blauhäuschen).
The Blauhaus is situated on a foothill of the Süchtelner heights at an altitude of 86 m in the Schwalm Nette nature reserve with its numerous lakes, nature reserves, beautiful walking and riding trails and running, walking and biking routes (information material and maps are available). An 18-hole golf course can be reached in 3 minutes. In the immediate vicinity there are several riding stables with qualified care and training staff. Distance to the nearest towns: Düsseldorf 30 min, Krefeld 20 min, Mönchengladbach 15 min, Ruhr area (Duisburg) 30 min, Venlo NL 10 min.

additional information:
Due to the very open architecture and the many stairs in the BLAUHAUS and the large pond with the narrow footbridge, the holiday home is only suitable to a limited extent for very small children and disabled guests.
Our interior is put together with a lot of love. Our rooms are therefore not suitable for alcohol-fuelled bachelor parties or similar.
Additional overnight and day guests require prior arrangement or permission
Our guests are looking for peace and relaxation. We therefore attach great importance to mutual consideration.
A contact person is available for all questions on site in the direct vicinity and mobile.
Earlier arrival or later departure may be possible depending on occupancy and by arrangement
* The disinfection of the whirlpool is very important to us. We therefore ask our guests to inform us on departure whether it has been used.
** The sauna needs approx. 60 minutes to preheat and is turned on especially for our guests. Therefore, prior arrangement is necessary. The use of the sauna is included in the price.

Familie H. from Olbernhau
Different than expected...
After reading the many good reviews, I actually expected more. We were somewhat disappointed. The Wi-Fi was constantly cutting out, and the television didn't work from the first day. Mrs. Henkel brought us her laptop, but the Wi-Fi connection was often missing. That was really annoying! Yes, the bathroom really needs to be renovated, it's no longer up-to-date. Quickly washing your hair is impossible. You always had to step into the oversized tub to reach the faucet. The fittings should be replaced, they didn't look nice anymore. The door frame in the bathroom completely swollen. . . It was also very cold in general there, as there was no heating on or a towel warmer. We really missed that. In the bedroom, we constantly had the dehumidifier running, it wasn't possible without it. In the corner, it was already slightly damp. I emptied the large container every 2 days and activated the air purification at least 2 hours before sleeping. I'm not usually so petty, but it was impossible to sleep properly here. The children's room with the two single beds was also not great. For me, it was more or less just a "basement." I do feel a bit sorry for my son.
Luckily, everyone has a different opinion. But we have rented many vacation homes/apartments, and we will not use this one again. We paid a lot of money per day (I unfortunately can't write the amount!) and it just wasn't worth it! For a few euros less than the requested amount per day, we had truly luxurious accommodations. Despite everything, we made the best of it. It was a beautiful spacious property, and the area was well-suited for biking. A visit to Venlo and Roermond is also worthwhile. We wish Mrs. Henkel all the best.

Very nice house
We had a wonderful, relaxing holiday at the Blauhaus
The spacious grounds with their cosy corners are great
The morning swims in the fresh water got us fit for the day.
Especially the friendly dog Colin made the days very special for my grandson

A wonderful spot on earth
Our choice fell on this holiday home because of the photos, we fell in love with the pool and the beautifully designed cottage, as we were looking for something where we could holiday independently and also not have to put up with such a terribly long journey
We found a wonderful spot and were able to spend very nice days with Mrs. Henkel and her dear companion Collin. Just strolling through the enchanted park-like garden was enough to forget the rest of the world. And squeaking into the refreshing water of the pool every morning was also a great pleasure for us. The house is also so exquisitely designed
Dear Mrs Henkel, thank you for this fairytale place!

Perfect for a meeting with friends
We are 5 former school friends and meet once a year for a long weekend. This time we were guests in the Blauhaus. In this beautiful ambience we were warmly welcomed by our hosts Ulla and Wolf Henkel.
The house is, as you could already see in the photos, very tastefully furnished. Basic equipment is available in the kitchen (coffee beans, tea, vinegar, oil, spices, washing-up liquid, etc.). An information folder provides practical shopping, leisure and gastronomic tips.
As it was already getting colder in the evening, the landlord lit the fireplace for us. We were allowed to make ourselves comfortable with a drink.
The water temperature in the swimming pool was now perfect for waking up in the morning
There are numerous seating areas and deckchairs for chatting and relaxing in the huge park. We enjoyed harvesting our dinner from the vegetable garden: Lettuce, tomatoes, cucumbers, courgette, artichokes, pumpkin, herbs - all organic.
A big thank you to the hosts Ulla and Wolf Henkel! We felt very comfortable with you.

Gourmet Relax at the Künstlerhaus
The Blauhaus and the two hosts Ulla & Wolf gave me unexpectedly fantastic days. Not only the location of the house in an enchanting landscape park on the only hill far and wide is spectacular, but also the house itself: there is a special corner for every mood, everything is aesthetically immaculate and yet never cool. The hosts, themselves well-travelled, know in every detail what it takes to feel comfortable in a luxurious way, without having to go to a 5-star hotel. For me, who seeks and needs balance after exhausting business appointments, a dream of contemplative silence. The whirlpool and sauna were immaculate and a blessing. And because of the greenhouse swimming pool alone, I have to come back in summer at the latest. Breakfast and the additional offer of a gourmet diner, which I took advantage of once, also deserve 5 stars: I usually only know unobtrusive hospitality combined with a high way of life from France. Düsseldorf city and airport are within easy reach, and the Hombroich Museum Island is close by for those interested in culture. All in all, a treat for all the senses and worth every diversions.

Great and fancy house
We spent a short holiday in this property as a couple. The photos posted by the Henkel family at least corresponded to the actual conditions. It is a great, clean and fancy designer house in open construction. The kitchen lacked a few small things (I don't deduct any points for the equipment), but our "list of deficiencies" was gratefully accepted and the kitchen was equipped accordingly. I find the number of towels in the bathroom and the bed linen provided without extra payment remarkably positive. I felt a cordial cooperation, the Henkel family was very interested in making us feel comfortable. I would like to emphasise the good location of the house on a very large property, but on the other hand not far from Viersen, Nettetal City and Venlo. We felt very comfortable and are looking forward to coming back in spring or summer to use the "big garden". We thank the Henkel family for their great hospitality.

The firecracker
As a choreographer I've been around a lot but the Blauhaus tops everything!
The Henkel family is super hospitable and the Blauhaus can't be beaten for genius!
... From now on one more regular guest on the list!
