Dat Meerhuus – Family-friendly vacation rental with a private garden right on Lake Timmeler!

This newly renovated, 80 m² modern vacation rental accommodates up to 6 people and features high-quality amenities, a 200 m² fenced-in private garden, and a location right next to the swimming lake with a sandy beach and an inclusive playground.
Whether it’s a family vacation, a romantic getaway, or a cycling trip with friends—Dat Meerhuus combines modern comfort with especially family-friendly amenities.
Pets are not allowed for hygiene reasons.

The spacious kitchen-dining area is fully equipped and seats up to 8 people. In addition to an induction cooktop, oven, and dishwasher, an air fryer, a SodaStream, a coffee maker, and many other kitchen appliances are available.
To ensure a relaxing start to your vacation, coffee, various types of tea, sugar, and a selection of spices are provided.

The master bedroom, “Möwe,” features a comfortable box-spring bed (180 x 200 cm) with a topper and a spacious closet. This is where the travel crib with a firm mattress could be set up.
The “Robbe” bedroom features a pull-out bed (80/160 x 200 cm), an additional sleeper sofa (140 x 200 cm), as well as a closet and a dresser.

The bright living area invites you to enjoy cozy evenings with a spacious sofa set, a reading chair, and a smart TV. The built-in sleeper sofa (140 x 200 cm) provides an additional sleeping option for guests. From here, you can access the patio and the garden.
Wi-Fi, Fire TV, Bluetooth speakers, DAB radio, and a selection of books, games, and art supplies ensure entertainment in any weather.

The bedrooms feature exterior roller shades, and the living room has blackout curtains.

A bathroom with a sink and toilet, ample storage space, and a separate rain shower and sink round out the vacation rental.

Families especially appreciate the extensive selection of baby gear, including a travel crib, high chair, changing pad, baby monitor, handcart, stroller, and plenty of play options. In the garden, a swing, slide, sandbox, play tent, as well as a Bobby Car and balance bike await our young guests.

After an eventful day, you can relax in a beach chair on the terrace or wind down the evening with a barbecue (gas grill) in your own garden.
Our extras:
A free parking space and a wallbox for electric vehicles (for a fee) right next to the house,
smoke detectors in all rooms, a first-aid kit, and a fire extinguisher,
A starter supply of toilet paper, paper towels, tissues, and cleaning supplies,
A pickup service from the Leer train station (upon request, for a fee) is available to our guests.
Just a few minutes’ walk away is the Timmeler Meer, featuring a sandy beach, a swimming lake, an inclusive playground, and numerous opportunities for swimming, stand-up paddleboarding, canoeing, or boating. At the same time, beautiful bike trails through the typical East Frisian landscape start right outside the front door. A bus route to the nearby towns of Aurich and Leer, as well as a small supermarket with an on-site bakery—which is also open on Sundays and holidays—are just a few minutes’ walk away.

Ein unvergesslicher Urlaub – viel zu kurz!Wir waren vom 31. Juli bis 4. August 2026 mit zwei Familien im Dat Meerhus und hatten eine wunderschöne Zeit. Das Ferienhaus ist sehr sauber, modern eingerichtet und bestens ausgestattet. Es hat uns wirklich an NICHTS gefehlt.Besonders bedanken möchten wir uns bei der Familie Bender für den herzlichen Empfang und die freundliche Betreuung. Wir haben uns vom ersten Moment an wie zu Hause gefühlt.Der einzige Nachteil unseres Urlaubs war, dass er viel zu kurz war! Wir hätten sehr gerne noch länger dort geblieben.Vielen Dank für die schöne Zeit. Wir kommen auf jeden Fall wieder und können das Dat Meerhus uneingeschränkt weiterempfehlen!
