About this property

Historic railway cottage at Mount Arber

An extraordinary monument awaits you in the beautiful spa town of Bayerisch Eisenstein: an authentic railway signalman's cottage dating from 1877. With its solid fieldstone walls, natural slate roof, and the forest railway passing by, it exudes a timeless atmosphere that will transport you to another era.





The lovingly preserved original details such as wooden floorboards, lattice windows, and exposed ceiling beams characterize the character of the house. Your day begins in the spacious living/dining area with open kitchen. A historic wooden staircase leads to the cozy reading gallery and two bedrooms, while the spacious bathroom surprises with historic church tiles.





The wild garden with its delicate pink climbing roses, moss-covered boulders, and inviting breakfast lawn invites you to linger. Two original wooden sheds, including the former wash house, tell their own stories.





The Bavarian Forest is at your feet: discover the nearby grocery store with regional specialties, hike to the Arberseewand, or visit the Bavarian Forest National Park with its wildlife. The historic restaurants 'Schmugglerhütte' and 'Vo'Gunders' are just a short walk away.

The location of the house was perfect. Not to far from the village but due the long private drive it also felt as being in the middle of the nature. The different vieuw from every window was stunning, the forest, church, grosses arber,... The house had everything we needed for our stay. We loved the interiour choices and the cosiness. Also the temperature inside the house was very refreshing when the outside temperatures rose to 30°C. The only downside was the curtains, we like our rooms to be darker at night, the kids woke up too early due the sun lightning the rooms too early. Also the village it self doesnt have a big supermarket, keep that in mind. There's plenty to do in the region, hiking, musea, restaurants, beautiful scenery, silberberg-coaster,... we even filled a day by visiting the village itself with its train museum, the play area and the restaurant at the station. We had some regrets that we didnt stay here a few more days. Also, we loved the trains passing by and used them as our clock as from day 2.

This is a special place—an old railroad house from 1877 that has been beautifully renovated and truly has character. The space is very nicely furnished—we were fascinated by the bathroom with a view of the garden. The mattresses and bedding are extremely comfortable. The kitchen is great for cooking. The best parts were the morning walks along the tracks to the church and the pond, and buying a fresh breakfast at the De Kramerin shop. We also recommend a walk to the train station or a train trip to the Czech or German side, and a visit to the charming station restaurant. We traveled by bike and on foot to both sides of the border, and the area is truly beautiful. Trains pass by the cottage frequently, but they’re relatively quiet, and there are none at all at night. We enjoyed watching them, and we slept really well. Our only suggestion for improvement—bedside reading lamps :-). Thank you very much for the stay and for your trust.
