The garden area is largely screened from view, allowing you to relax in privacy. We also provide bicycles as an option; 2 bicycles are always reliably available.

The Holiday Home
Breathe in the forest air! The holiday home is located right in the heart of the Märchenwald, on Drosselbartweg. With a living area of about 85 square metres spread over two floors connected by a space-saving staircase, on a generously sized and completely fenced-in lot of approximately 1,000 square metres (with privacy screening), you’ll have all the peace and relaxation you could wish for.

The house is a so-called “roof-only” wooden structure. It is fully equipped, connected to the electricity and water networks, and could theoretically also be used for long-term rental. Smoking is prohibited INSIDE the house. Outside, it’s no problem.



The Fairy Tale Forest:
North of the main crossroads in Ovelgönne lies a small lake. In the summer, it’s a popular spot for children from the surrounding villages. Supervised swimming is allowed here, and there are also a few snacks and drinks available.
North of the lake lies the so-called “Fairy Tale Forest.” It’s an area dotted with weekend homes. The Fairy Tale Forest is actually located right in the middle of the woods. Cycling and walking are the most popular activities here. Of course, you can also go for a run. A 10-minute walk away, there’s also an extensive fitness trail. A nature reserve with trails for long walks and hikes is just a few minutes’ walk away. There’s plenty of space to unwind. There’s plenty to see, and the street names—all taken from well-known fairy tales—will transport you and your loved ones back to your childhood.

The town of Ovelgönne:
On the edge of the heath, surrounded by woods and fields, the small village of “29313 Hambühren – OT Ovelgönne” has developed in an unspoiled and peaceful manner. The entire municipality is surrounded by forest. In this small suburb west of Celle, with just under 10,000 residents, you’ll find the “Märchenwald” holiday home area, which is well-known and popular both regionally and beyond. Ovelgönne is located between Celle and Hanover and is easily accessible via the B214. There are plenty of shopping options that can be quickly reached on foot or by bike. All the major discount stores, several good restaurants, and various sports facilities are also located right in town.

A personal note:
We do not rent out this holiday home for profit. It is a labour of love, and we have put a great deal of hard work, effort, and passion into the property. We regularly work on this house during periods when it’s not rented out, renovating and beautifying the entire property for you and your next visit. For example, in the summer of 2015, we installed a new roof with modern insulation.

Please leave the house swept clean and in the same condition as you found it. Please report any damage you find in advance. If you cause any damage yourself, please report it immediately to minimise further damage.

Abschalten für ein paar Tage

Abschalten für ein paar Tage, das war unser Motto für diesen Kurzurlaub. Kein Stress und keinen Zeitdruck. Also für ein paar Tage Essen, Trinken und Feuerholz für den Kamin gehortet, gemütlich unsere persönlichen Sachen verstaut und dann dauerte es auch nicht lange, bis wir vor dem Kamin unsere Alltäglichen Sorgen weit hinter uns ließen. Die Natur wollte uns mit ihrer unaufhörlichen kalten und nassen Winde auch nicht so wirklich vor die Tür lassen, also ein Stück Holz nachgeworfen, einen heißen Kakao zubereitet und zu zweit auf die Couch mit einem schönen Buch in der Hand eingemummelt. Das Haus besitzt alles, was man benötigt. Von Riesen Tassen, zum Eierkocher bis hin zum Spiel für Jung und Alt. Die Kommunikation verlief stets ohne Probleme und so konnte man schnell auch mal Sachen über WhatsApp regeln. Lediglich die Nachbarn dürften bei Nacht gehört haben, wie wir uns im Bette umdrehten. Wir kommen wieder, gar keine Frage.

Ruhe und Natur im Märchenwald

Uneingeschränkte Empfehlung, sowohl für kleine Gruppen als auch Familien! Schön zum dritten Mal sind wir mit unserer Gruppe im Märchenwald gewesen. Die Siedlung ist wunderbar ruhig und die Anreise unkompliziert. Sogarit Öffis kommt man von Celle aus unkompliziert hier hin, mit dem Auto ist es aber bequemer. Im Haus findet man alles was das Herz begehrt. Küche und Bad sind gut ausgestattet. Nicht topmodern, aber alles auf der Höhe der Zeit. Die Highlights sind aber das Wohnzimmer mit großer Sofalandschaft, großen TV und kuscheligem Kamin sowie der üppige Garten mit megamäßig gemütlichem Außenareal was dazu einlädt, lange Abende noch draußen zu sitzen, zu grillen, Spiele zu spielen oder in Geselligkeit abzutauchen. Allein die Betten sind eher rustikal, uns hat das bislang aber nie gestört und würden uns auch wieder hier einmieten. Das Haus ist direkt am Wald gelegen, in wenigen Schritten kann man die umliegende Natur genießen, sowohl im Sommer als auch in den kalten Jahreszeiten.

Idylle im Märchenwald

Wir waren als Gruppe von Freunden hier um ein Pen and Paper Wochenende zu verbringen und kamen voll auf unsere Kosten. Mit fünf Männer und zwei Hunden hat es zu keiner Zeit an etwas gemangelt. Sowohl die Umgebung, als auch die umzäunten Außenanlagen sind für Hunde wie geschaffen. Das Haus selbst bietet auf 2 Etagen ebenfalls alles was das Herz begehrt. Einzig die Raumspartreppe sollte erwähnt sein, das ist sicher nicht jedermanns Sache. Zumindest für Menschen mit Höhenangst kostet es etwas Überwindung. Der Kontakt mit der Vemieterin war ebenfalls einwandfrei. Herzlich, schnell und unkompliziert. Wir freuen uns jedenfalls darauf auch unser nächstes Treffen hier zu verbringen!
