Wonderful motorcycle vacation.
We spent a very nice week there. The apartment is just great, very spacious and tastefully decorated, with two beautiful balconies from where you have a nice view of the surroundings. There was simply nothing missing. Wonderful area to ride beautiful tours with the motorcycle and relax. We felt very comfortable with the Eckhardt family and would always spend our holidays there again.

Dream holiday in Kördorf
From 27.09. to 11.10.2021 we spent a dream holiday in this luxury holiday flat. No wishes were left unfulfilled. In the modern, very tastefully and yet cosily furnished flat, everything was available that was needed for a relaxing stay. From various utensils in the kitchen, bed linen and towels to a small library for bad weather days and a whole shelf full of information for hiking tours or excursions as well as restaurant recommendations in the area and carefully listed addresses of doctors in the vicinity and other important information, e.g. in case of health problems. In case of bad weather, there is even the possibility to use a fitness room and the sauna (for an extra charge) in the basement of the house
We were very lucky with the weather, however, and made wonderful walks in bright sunshine through deciduous forests that were beginning to turn colourful and saw many of the recommended sights.
It didn't bother us at all that the nearest shopping facility was in Katzenelnbogen. After all, we were there by car. The landlords offer a morning delivery service for fresh bread rolls, so that the day can start with a delicious breakfast. We will remember the view of the beautiful surroundings from the dining area for a long time
Of course, the fact that the landlords of the flat are very friendly and accommodating contributed to this wonderfully relaxing holiday. As soon as you arrive, you immediately feel at home and sense how important it is to the landlords that their guests are satisfied
For us, awarding stars was easy, because this flat in the beautiful surroundings with the nice landlords deserves 5 stars in every respect. If it had been possible, we would also have given 8 stars.

Wonderful holiday flat that deserves its 5 stars
A super nice and tastefully furnished flat with very nice landlords. We immediately felt at home and enjoyed the days there. In the morning we had breakfast on the small balcony and in the evening we enjoyed the sunset on the large balcony. Also that everything is available such as bed linen, towels and in the kitchen spices, dishwasher tabs.....ebenso the bread service was perfect. Thanks again for that!!!
The location is great to make many excursions
If we have another holiday in this region we will come back immediately
Kind regards

Great holiday flat, it corresponded to the internet presentation in everything. We immediately felt at home. It is very tasteful and we enjoyed the spaciousness of the rooms. The location is very convenient for many activities. Mr. and Mrs. Eckhardt are very accommodating, friendly and helpful. The price-performance ratio is clearly in favour of the tenant.

Fijn en ruim appartement
We had a great week here. The apartment is spacious and equipped with all conveniences. Nice balconies, one for the morning sun and a larger one for the afternoon/evening sun.
Good internet connection, which the children especially appreciated.
Herbert and Monika Eckhardt are very friendly and helpful. Beautiful surroundings, suitable for hiking and cycling (and also canoeing), although we didn't do that ourselves.
We visited some sights.

Holiday in the Valley of Lamentations
The Eckardt family is simply great, you feel completely comfortable, simply put, like at home but in unfamiliar beds. Our motorcycle vacation in the region is highly recommended, especially since we were kindly allowed to park the bikes safely in a garage. The accommodation exceeds even the posted pictures. All in all, if we were to head towards the Rhine again, we know where we would stay.

The vacation rental can only be highly recommended to men and women. The feeling of well-being started with the booking and only ended when we left the vacation rental. We have never encountered such warm and accommodating landlords. The equipment of the vacation rental is perfect, sauna and fitness room very demanding. Even the neighbors set off their fireworks within sight of our balcony. Thanks to the Eckhardt family and neighbors.

Pure relaxation, if we could we would give extra points in all criteria!
We were very warmly and courteously welcomed by the Eckhard family during our entire stay. Reserved, but always present and competent when it came to answering questions and tips for the upcoming excursions in the area. The price-performance ratio of this apartment is unbeatable! The furnishings are excellent and correspond to the internet presentation in all points. The classification as a 5-star apartment is absolutely appropriate. We recommend this holiday accommodation without any reservation!

Great vacation apartment and great hosts.
Everything has already been said. We can only confirm everything. The house is clean, large, complete, etc.
The hosts are very friendly and helpful.
We have done many beautiful hikes without using the car.
The baker comes to the door on the 1st floor. Bread roll service from the landlord. Great!
Everything has already been said in the other reviews and we can only agree with it. The house is clean, large, complete, etc. The owners are very friendly and helpful. We did a lot of walking without needing to use the car.

Accommodation to feel comfortable
The holiday apartment is very bright and also spacious, fully equipped, and just perfect for feeling good. There is a balcony for breakfast in the sun and another one for watching the sunset - very charming. The landlords are extremely pleasant and have contributed to a very successful stay with their friendly manner. A warm thank you to them at this point. The region is very quiet and offers numerous excursion possibilities, for example, by bike. There are also swimming options available, as well as the opportunity to visit smaller towns like Limburg, Bad Ems, or some well-known places along the Rhine. We are happy to recommend this accommodation and will return there ourselves.

The view of the surrounding area was great. In the morning, mist hovered over the fields and created an incredible atmosphere.
There are 3 double rooms, one with an additional crib, the second with an additional sofa bed available. All rooms are sufficiently large. The bathroom is also very spacious. There is an additional toilet. We enjoyed the afternoon sun on the living room balcony.

Plenty of space to feel comfortable.
From the first email contact until our departure, we felt welcome with the Eckhardt family. The holiday apartment corresponds exactly to the representation in the photos. Kördorf is a quiet place in the Taunus region, from which you can go on many hikes in good weather and take trips to Limburg or Koblenz in bad weather. A special feature in the apartment is the lovingly arranged shelf with a lot of useful information material about excursions in the area, which can outshine some tourist information offices. The equipment of the holiday apartment leaves nothing to be desired. Everything you need for a self-catering holiday is available and in very good condition. Shopping facilities are easily accessible by car and if you don't feel like cooking yourself, there are good restaurants in the immediate vicinity. All in all, a vacation in a very cozy yet modern holiday apartment.
