Wir haben uns sehr wohl gefühlt in dieser schönen, sauberen Ferienwohnung. Die Vermieterin ist sehr nett. In der Küche war alles vorhanden, was man brauchte. Das Haus liegt direkt am Wald, sodass man gleich wandern gehen kann. Zu Fuß erreicht man z.B. das Meeresaquarium sehr gut in ca. einer halben Stunde. Einkaufsmöglichkeiten gibt es auch genug. Das Einzige, was uns in dieser Ferienwohnung gefehlt hat, ist eine Couch. Aber das war in der Anzeige auch nicht mit aufgeführt und somit dann auch in Ordnung.Wir danken Frau Pfestorf für die Gastfreundschaft und wünschen ihr alles erdenklich Gute.
Ziel eines Urlaubs ist ja runterzukommen und gleichzeitig etwas zu erleben. Besser habe ich das noch nie realisiert gesehen. Wir wurden sogar jeden Tag mit Ideen versorgt was man unternehmen könnte. Hier wird man wirklich als Gast wahrgenommen und behandelt. Richtig freundlich und zuvorkommend, mit menschlicher Wärme und ganz viel Kümmern. Ein riesengroßes Dankeschön. Gern jederzeit wieder :)
Toller Ausgangspunkt für Ausflüge im Thüringer Wald
Sehr nette Gastgeberin, die gern Tipps zu Aktivitäten in der Umgebung gibt. Wir haben uns sehr wohlgefühlt. Die Lage ist als Ausgangspunkt von Wanderungen sehr gut und man ist zusätzlich innerhalb von 3 Minuten auf der Autobahn und andere Ziele zu erreichen. Trotzdem ist die Lage sehr ruhig. In der direkten Nähe befindet sich ein toller Bäcker, der fußläufig in 5 Minuten erreichbar ist, sowie ein Einkaufszentrum (nur mit Auto erreichbar) mit allem, was man für den täglichen Bedarf benötigt. Wir können diese Unterkunft nur empfehlen.
