Lots of space & lots of sun - family-friendly apartment near the forest
Our bright, spacious holiday rental is located on the ground floor of a two-family house on the outskirts of Schwelm, surrounded by plenty of green spaces and close to the forest. The historic well house and Martfeld Castle are within walking distance—10 and 20 minutes, respectively—as are three lovely playgrounds, a small football field, and the forest with its beautiful hiking trails.
Two supermarkets, a pharmacy, a bakery, and a drink store are also located nearby.
The Accommodation **************** Our holiday rental features cosy hardwood floors in the living area and is bright and spacious.
The kitchen has a spacious dining area for 4–5 people, where you can enjoy the morning sun and watch the chickens. The kitchen is bright, quite large, and very well-equipped. There is a classic drip coffee maker (including coffee filters) as well as a Nespresso capsule machine for a quick espresso or lungo. A few coffee capsules are provided and are available for your use. Basic staples such as vinegar, oil, salt, spices, sugar, tea, and more are also available. If anything is missing, please feel free to ring our doorbell—we’ll help out if we can.
The living room features a second, even larger dining table, as well as a cosy couch and a rocking chair; from there, you can enjoy the view to the south (sun blinds provided) and to the west. The loggia faces south; there, you can enjoy the sun especially in spring and fall, when it’s still too cold to sit outside.
The bedroom with a double bed is also spacious and can comfortably accommodate a wooden cot. The bedroom can be completely darkened with shutters.
The children’s room is bright and cosy. It features a bunk bed, a single bed, and a cot, as well as some toys, books, and art supplies. The skylight in the children’s room can be completely darkened. Upon request, the baby cot can, of course, be placed in the parents’ bedroom.
There is also a brightly tiled bathroom with a shower and toilet, as well as a guest bathroom.
In a small courtyard shop right outside the apartment door, you can purchase our “homegrown” products, such as fresh eggs and honey, as well as other items like jam, pasta, and sauce, various drinks, and assorted snacks.
Also right outside the apartment door, you’ll find an extensive selection of board games available to borrow—games that we enjoy as a family ourselves, but are of course happy to share with anyone who enjoys them and treats them with care.
In front of our house, there’s a small, south-facing seating area with comfortable garden chairs and a small table. When the weather is nice, this little spot is perfect for winding down at the end of the day.
The apartment is smoke-free. Pets are not allowed.
************* Dear guests, we’re very pleased that you’re interested in our holiday rental! Since we live in the house ourselves, harmonious coexistence and a personal connection with our guests are very important to us. We’d therefore appreciate it if you could include a few lines about yourselves in your enquiry: Who are you, what brings you to our area, and why did you choose our place to stay? This helps us get a first impression of who will be staying with us and allows us to prepare for your stay in the best possible way. We look forward to hearing from you!

Eine wunderschöne, liebevoll eingerichtete Wohnung mit ausreichend Platz für eine größere Familie. Die Wohnung war einfach perfekt, sehr sauber, gemütlich und mit ganz vielen kleinen Details, die den Aufenthalt besonders angenehm gemacht haben. Man hat sich vom ersten Moment an wie zu Hause gefühlt.Auch die Gastgeber waren ausgesprochen nett, herzlich und hilfsbereit. Wir haben uns rundum wohlgefühlt und würden jederzeit wiederkommen. Eine absolute Empfehlung!
Sehr schöne Wohnung, wir haben uns sehr wohlgefühlt. Alles sauber, sehr nette Kommunikation, prima Ausstattung der Küche, familienfreundlich. Super die kleine einkaufsecke im Flur. Für uns Pluspunkt, eine zweite Toilette, bei fünf Personen super.
Die Gastgeberin war sehr freundlich und herzlich. Vor Ort war alles sauber und gepflegt. Wer frische Eier oder Honig möchte, kann diese ebenfalls direkt vor Ort erhalten.
Wir waren mit unserem Kleinkind für ein Wochenende in der Ferienwohnung. Die Wohnung war sehr sauber, die Vermieter sehr zuvorkommend und familienfreundlichen. Sie sind bereits vorab auf individuelle Wünsche eingegangen und haben die Wohnung dementsprechend vorbereitet. Wir hatten dort ein tolles Wochenende und waren rundum sehr zufrieden. Vielen Dank noch einmal an die Gastgeber!
Wir wurden herzlich von Familie Thomas empfangen und hatten einen wunderbaren Aufenthalt. Die Wohnung ist super ausgestattet (gerade für Familien mit Kindern) und bietet mehr als man braucht. Es wird definitiv nicht unser letzter Besuch sein.
Familienfreundlich durch und durch! Alle Steckdosen waren bereits gesichert, es wurde Bettzeug sowie Handtuch in Kindergröße bereit gestellt. Außerdem gab es viele Kinderbücher sowie Duplo zum Spielen
Wunderschöne Ferienwohnung, liebevoll eingerichtet, perfekt ausgestattet und tippitoppi sauber.Der kleine Hofladen bietet zusätzlich Honig aus eigener Herstellung und Eier von den eigenen Hühnern. Fr. Thomas war sehr freundlich. Wir kommen gerne wieder
