Location and surroundings of object
The location of the house impresses with a wonderful view over the forests of Hesse.
At 450 m above sea level, you are in the recognised resort of Machtlos in the midst of wonderful nature.
Surrounded by mixed forest, this house has its own special charm in every season:
In spring, you can take morning dew walks across the large meadow behind the house.
In summer, the Breitenbach lakes, which are easily accessible by car, invite you to sunbathe extensively.
In autumn, you can go mushroom picking in the immediate vicinity of the holiday home.
In winter, the toboggan belonging to the house allows for extensive tobogganing.
The adjacent forest is characterised by a well-signposted and very varied hiking trail system
The hiking badge can also be acquired here.
For the younger guests, there is also the possibility to explore nature by means of geocaching.

Overall assessment

Martin Z. from Hadamar-Niederzeuzheim
Very relaxed holiday destination
Thank you very much for the lovely and relaxing stay and the warm welcome. We all, including our cat, felt very comfortable and relaxed with you, as it is really very quiet there. The beds were super comfortable and nothing was missing. One could go for beautiful hikes, but also visit the swing forest, the forest ball track, and the mini-golf course in Rotenburg, and participate in an outdoor escape event. In Bebra, we tried the bowling alley and it was a lot of fun and the food was delicious. A good pizzeria can also be found directly in the holiday resort. All in all, it was a very nice and relaxing vacation for us.
Best regards, Family Ziemer-Bauer

Simply top!
The holiday house impresses simply with its location, furnishings, cleanliness, and amenities, but above all, the attentive, friendly, and helpful landlords. My husband, our dog Luma, and I felt welcomed as soon as we entered the house. Nothing was missing. This will definitely not be our last visit. Thank you very much, the Reiß family.

Hello Reiß family,?
we are pleased that we were able to spend our holiday with you again.
As always, it was very nice. You have prepared and decorated the holiday home with so much love. It was a pity that I had to use the swan which was folded with so much love. I had never seen anything so beautiful before, thank you
The holiday home is equipped with everything you need at home, nothing is missing.
I can only recommend the cottage. Just see for yourselves. Very nice landlords
We will be very happy to come back.
I wish you a wonderful time and above all good health
See you soon !
best regards from
Wolfgang, Karin and Eddy ??
