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.

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.

Wedding in the little paradise!
We rented all 3 houses for 5 days on the occasion of our wedding. Despite the mediocre weather, it was our dream wedding. We lived for 5 days with dear friends in an enchanted place.
The houses, with their light-flooded eye-catching design and unusual art objects, create an atmosphere of elegance and coziness. Large windows create the impression of being in the midst of the nature of the beautifully maintained grounds with many features and quiet spots. The large swimming pool and the sauna provide relaxation. The owner gave us a lot of freedom in planning the celebration and was helpful to us. Thanks also for the pavilions.
Anyone expecting the spotless, cool, and sterile ambiance of a 5-star luxury hotel is mistaken. Sometimes functionality is subordinated to design, which is what makes the uniqueness and charm of the houses. Nature has a tendency to reclaim what is man-made and to exert influence in a lush way, so that even with the best constant care, not everything is perfectly yet casually designed and structured.
We have escaped the everyday and were right in the middle of a unique romantic garden.

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.

«Blue House in the Schwalm-Nette Nature Park» achieves a holiday rating of 4.8 (rating scale: 1 to 5) at 9 submitted reviews.
Die Häuser mit ihrem lichtdurchfluteten aufsehenerregenden Design und den ausgefallenen Kunstgegenständen ermöglichen eine Atmosphäre von Eleganz und Gemütlichkeit.
Großflächige Fenster vermitteln den Eindruck, mitten in der Natur des wunderschönen gepflegten Geländes mit den vielen Features und Ruheplätzen zu sein. Entspannung verschaffen das große Schwimmbad und die Saunq. Die Eigentümerin ließ uns viel Freiheit bei der Gestaltung der Feier und stand uns hilfreich zur Seite. Danke auch für die Pavillons.
Wer das blitzblanke, kühle und sterile Ambiente eines 5 Sterne Luxus Hotels erwartet, liegt falsch. Manches Mal wird Funktionalität dem Design untergeordnet, was das Besondere und den Charme der Häuser ausmacht. Natur hat die Neigung, Menschgemachtes zurückzufordern und in üppiger Weise Einfluss zu nehmen, so dass auch bei bester ständiger Pflege nicht alles perfekt allerdings zwanglos gestaltet und strukturiert ist,
Wir sind dem Alltag entflohen und waren mittendrin in einem einzigartigen romantischen Garten.
Ja das Bad müsste wirklich mal erneuert werden, dass ist kein aktueller Standard mehr. Mal schnell Haare waschen unmöglich. Man musste immer in die übergroße Wanne steigen, um an den Wasserhahn zu kommen. Die Armaturen müssten mal gewechselt werden, die sahen nicht mehr schön aus. Der Türrahmen im Bad total aufgequollen... Es war auch sehr kalt im Allgemeinen dort, da keine Heizung an war oder ein Handtuchwärmer. Das hat uns echt gefehlt.
Im Schlafzimmer hatten wir ständig den Luftentfeuchter an, ohne diesen war es nicht möglich. In der Ecke war es bereits leicht feucht. Ich habe alle 2 Tage den großen Behälter geleert und mindestens 2h vor dem Schlafen die Luftreinigung aktiviert. Ich bin sonst keinesfalls so kleinlich, aber hier war sonst kein ordentliches Schlafen möglich. Das Kinderzimmer mit den zwei Einzelbetten war auch nicht berauschend. Für mich war es mehr oder weniger nur ein "Keller". Ein bisschen leid tat mir mein Sohn schon.
Zum Glück sieht es auch jeder anders. Aber wir haben wirklich schon sehr viele Ferienhäuser/ Ferienwohnungen gemietet, aber dieses werden wir nicht nochmal nutzen. Wir haben viel Geld pro Tag bezahlt (ich darf leider den Betrag nicht schreiben!) und das war es einfach nicht wert! Für einige Euro unter den geforderten Betrag pro Tag hatten wir wirklich schon luxeriöse Unterkünfte.
Wir haben trotz allem das Beste daraus gemacht. Ein schönes weitläufiges Grundstück war es und die Gegend für Fahrräder gut geeigent. Auch ein Besuch in Venlo und Roermond lohnt sich.
Wir wünschen Frau Henkel alles Gute.
Das weitläufige Gelände mit seinen lauschigen Ecken ist klasse.
Die morgendlichen Bahnen im frischen Wasser haben uns für den Tag fit gemacht.
Besonders der freundliche Hund Colin hat die Tage für meinen
Enkel zu etwas ganz Besonderem gemacht.
Wir haben ein wunderbares Fleckchen Erde gefunden und durften sehr schöne Tage bei Frau Henkel und ihrem lieben Begleiter Collin verbringen. Durch den verwunschenen parkähnlichen Garten zu stromern reichte schon völlig aus,um den Rest der Welt zu vergessen. Und quietschend allmorgendlich in das erfrischende Nass des Pools zu tappsen hat uns auch eine große Freude bereitet. Dass das Haus dann auch noch so exquisit gestaltet ist,kommt noch dazu.
Liebe Frau Henkel,danke für diesen märchenhaften Ort!
Das Haus ist, wie man bereits auf den Fotos sehen konnte, sehr geschmackvoll eingerichtet. In der Küche ist eine Grundausstattung vorhanden (Kaffeebohnen, Tee, Essig, Öl, Gewürze, Spülmittel etc.). Eine Infomappe gibt praktische Einkaufs-, Freizeit- und Gastronomie-Tipps.
Da es abends bereits kälter wurde, hat uns der Hausherr den Kamin angezündet. Wir durften es uns dabei mit einem Drink gemütlich machen.
Die Wassertemperatur im Schwimmbad war jetzt perfekt zum Wachwerden am Morgen.
Zahlreiche Sitzgruppen und Liegestühle zum Klönen und Relaxen gibt es im riesigen Park zu entdecken. Unser Abendessen haben wir gerne im Gemüsegarten geerntet: Salat, Tomaten, Gurken, Zucchini, Artischocken, Kürbis, Kräuter - alles Bio.
Ein herzliches Dankeschön an die Gastgeber Ulla und Wolf Henkel! Wir haben uns bei Ihnen sehr wohl gefühlt.
Kann man wirklich nur empfehlen!
Die Familie Henkel ist super gastfreundlich und das Blauhaus ist an Genialität nicht zu übertreffen !
... Ab sofort ein Stammgast mehr auf der Liste !!!
