Pure nature: Apartment 'Tawny Owl' at 'Frau Holle' (Mother Hulda), dogs welcome
Hostelry 'Frau Holle' In the heart of Germany, in the northern Hessian highlands between Kassel, Göttingen and Mühlhausen, lies the traditional hostelry Frau Holle (what means 'Mother Hulda') The detached property from 1884 in the typical half-timbered nestles on a forested mountain flank and borders the nature reserve Bilstein in the picturesque 'Höllental' (hell valley or formerly also called Hulda's Valley) with the remains of the castle Bilstein. With its guesthouse and the cozy tearoom (currently closed) in the former dance hall, it offers an ideal starting point for leisurely hikes in beautiful nature on a variety of premium hiking trails or trips to the old half-timbered towns along the German half-timbered street or the 'Werra-Burgen-Steig'.
The guesthouse The completely renovated guest house in an idyllic and quiet secluded location offers everything you need for a relaxing holiday. The object with great attention to detail, divided into 2 apartments, fulfills its guests everything you can expect from a holiday apartment. A generously equipped kitchen with all modern amenities. A fireplace and a cozy living area invite you to cuddle up. The modern bathrooms of the house have shower and toilet. Both apartments have bright bedrooms. On the inviting south-facing balcony you can unwind and leave everyday life behind.
Apartment 'Tawny Owl' The apartment 'Tawny Owl' is the smaller but still very cozy unit in the guest house. On 35 square meters you will find everything you need for a relaxing holiday; the furniture is made of high-quality Danish design in real wood, instead of laminate you will find parquet and linoleum. In the spacious and well-equipped, modern kitchen (with stove, oven, coffee maker and s.w.) you have enough space for cooking and eating - or just to sit and enjoy with a view of nature. From the kitchen it also goes to the large balcony (for sole use) from which you can look into the forest and meadow. The bright living / bedroom with access from the kitchen also offers enough space and opportunity to dream and relax on the sofa - and of course to sleep in the comfortable beds. Finally, the bathroom: sink, shower, toilet, all contemporary - what can be said more about a bathroom?
Directly in front of the front door of the guest house at the edge of the forest (or almost in the woods) are some hiking trails that invite you to explore nature. Or how about, for example, a visit to the beautiful half-timbered town in the Werra-Meißner district or in neighboring Thuringia? However, here it is good to draw strength for the next day's holiday - and also for the upcoming activities after the holiday.

In Alleinlage mitten im Höllental gelegen. Die Wohnung ist sehr nüchtern eingerichtet, aber hochwertig. Hervorragend gepflegte Premiumwege direkt vor der Tür, diverse andere mit kurzer Autofahrt erreichbar. Für Menschen mit Hund, die das Alleinesein suchen perfekt. Handyempfang geht so, WLAN eher schlecht, aber dafür fährt man ja nicht in den Wald.
We hebben het genoeglijk gehad. Door het mindere weer veel binnen gezeten. Dan merk je wel dat het huisje klein is.
We hadden wel meer handdoeken e.d. verwacht.
Mooie rustige omgeving! Helemaal niet heel erg toeristisch 👍
Theehuis erbij was leuk.
Aardige, betrokken eigenaren.
Super Ferienwohnung für zwei Personen mit Hund. Alles vorhanden, sehr sauber. Ferienwohnung direkt im Wald, tolle Wanderwege. Kleine nette Städtchen in der Umgebung. Einfach sehr schön.
Die Lage ist super, die Vermieter sehr Nett aber unauffällig. Die Ruhe und das Zwitschern der Vögel entschleunigt ungemein. Für Menschen die Stille suchen das Optimale.
Sehr gute Lage. Von dort aus alles möglich, tolle Wanderungen (mit Hund) und reizende Städtchen in der Umgebung. Schöne, klare und zweckmäßige Ferienwohnung (mit Hund).
Wir hatten 5 schöne Tage mit unseren 2 Hunden.
Die Lage der Wohnung kann man nur als traumhaft bezeichnen. Sie liegt mitten im Wald mit angrenzenden wunderschönen Wanderwegen.
Fijn appartement, alles is nieuw en aanwezig. Er is een startpakket met koffie (Nescafé), filterzakjes,thee, afwasmiddel, etc. Het is midden in een natuurgebied, je kunt meteen vanuit het appartement starten met wandelen. Er is een map met tips.
Fijn is ook de (redelijke) wifi, je kunt dan Nederlandse tv kijken op een eigen apparaat, anders alleen Duitstalige zenders. Je kunt met de tv een USB stick afspelen.
...ist es in Berkatal! Wir kommen jährlich zu Besuch und sind jedes Mal wieder sehr zufrieden. Es mangelt an nichts und man bekommt eine tolle Unterkunft inmitten der Natur zu einem fairen Preis. Danke liebe Frau Wortmann! :-)
Ich habe meine Kindheit in der Gegend verbracht und war begeistert, dort eine so schöne Ferienwohnung zu finden! Es war alles super und die Vermieter waren sehr nett!

Gemütliche Ruheoase
Wir haben den Jahreswechsel mit einem befreundeten Paar (insgesamt 4 Erwachsene und 2 Hunde) in den beiden Ferienwohnungen des Hauses verbracht. Die Wohnungen waren sauber, gemütlich und mit allem Wichtigen ausgestattet. Der Kontakt zu den Vermietern war herzlich und unkompliziert. Wir haben uns alle wohlgefühlt und konnten in Ruhe ein paar entspannte Tage verbringen, ob beim Wandern in der Umgebung oder bei einem Spieleabend vor dem wärmenden Ofen...
Gern wieder.

Eine Oase der Ruhe
Wir haben hier mit zwei Hunden einen wirklich tollen Kurzurlaub zum Jahresbeginn verbracht.
Direkt von der Wohnung aus kann man in die wunderbare Natur spazieren, im nahegelegenen Ort findet man alles, was man zu Leben braucht.
Für Wanderfreunde die perfekte Wahl.

Ein süßes , sehr sauberes, modernes Appartement, in dem es an nichts fehlt! Toller Balkon nach Süden und sehr kuschelige Sitzecke vor dem Haus.
Außerordentlich sehr nette Vermieter!!! Auch der Hund hat sich wohlgefühlt
Für Menschen, die naturverbunden sind und entschleunigen wollen perfekt!!!
