Es war supersauber und warm. Die Lage ist zum Wandern top, die nächsten Einkaufsmöglichkeiten sind 10min mit dem Auto entfernt (Oberammergau). Außer fehlendem W-LAN hatten wir nichts auszusetzen und haben uns rundum wohl gefühlt und bestens erholt! Vielen Dank dafür! ##### Martina B.

Bei unserer Ankunft war das Haus vollständig ausgekühlt, da die Heizungen seitens der Vermieter nicht eingeschaltet waren. Erst am dritten Tag bekamen wir die gewünschten Briketts für den Ofen, warm wurde es leider trotzdem nicht richtig. Insgesamt war das Haus sehr schmutzig, es gab sehr wenig Geschirr, die Matratzen gingen gar nicht (total durch gelegen). In der näheren Umgebung gibt es fußläufig leider gar nichts, der nächste Bäcker ist mit dem Auto 10 Minuten entfernt. Die Skilifte im Ort wurden bereits komplett am 18.3. geschlossen, man musste daher ca. 20 km bis Garmisch Partenkirchen fahren, um Skilaufen zu können.

Prachtige omgeving, maar om echt te genieten moet je wel wat moeite doen en bergen in! Zeer mooie wandelingen in de nabije omgeving. Het huisje zelf is heel basic en zonder luxe. Wij geven daar niet om dus als uitvalbasis is het ideaal voor ons, maar ik denk dat sommige mensen dit wel minder zou bevallen.

Het huisje is groot maar basic. Je logeert op een boerderij, dus ook met alle geur, geluiden, activiteit,... hou daar rekening mee. Wij vinden dat goed, maar misschien is het niet voor iedereen. De ligging is perfect voor zowel kleine uitstapjes als ook voor lange bergwandelingen. Je moet het wel wat uitzoeken want je zit iets verder weg van het centrum.

Wir wurden freundlich empfangen und auch verabschiedet. Die Gegend ist wunderbar geeignet für Wanderungen,sowohl in den Bergen als auch für Talwanderungen. Sehr gut ist auch,dass man die guten Bus-und Bahnverbindungen nutzen kann. In dem Ferienhaus könnte schon einiges mal verändert oder erneuert werden,z.B. ein neuer Anstrich.

Die Gastgeber haben uns freundlich empfangen. Leider war die Einfahrt zum Haus sehr schlammig und sah ziemlich chaotisch aus.. Im Haus war es sehr kalt wir mussten am ersten Abend frieren. Leider sind ein Teil der Betten nur 1,90 m lang. Die Umgebung ist sehr schön. Man kann in jeder Richtung auch mit kleinen Kindern wandern. Es ist auf jeden Fall ein Hof auf dem man als größere Familie günstig Urlaub machen kann This review comes from a trusted partner site and has not been verified. ### 8/10 Good 7 Jun 2022 #### We had a warm welcome but was a bit limited as we don't speak German and the ow ... We had a warm welcome but was a bit limited as we don't speak German and the owner only a little English. The accommodation matched the photos very well but think the feather filled pillows duvets were old should be replaced with synthetic that can be washed . Kitchen was basic functional 2 rolling pins but no vegetable peeler! The views were stunning - and access to woodland paths superb. Cottage warm cosy but very close to cow shed - smell was very strong!

Bij aankomst werden we ontvangen door de dochter, op een boerderij is nu een maal veel werk, wat niet betekent dat we minder hartelijk rondgeleid werden. De woning heeft alles wat je maar kan wensen in ons geval. Erg mooie omgeving, erg geschikt als je van natuurwandelingen houdt.

We werden door de dochter ontvangen. De moeder kwam 's avonds om zaken door te spreken. De accommodatie was niet echt schoon en het meubilair zag er oud uit. De bedden lagen wel goed en de omgeving is prachtig. Wil je uitslapen, dan is deze locatie geen aanrader. Op zondag luidt de klok van de kapel om 6.00 uur en er gaat door de week iemand op een knetter brommer om 6.45 uur naar zijn werk. Het voordeel is, dat je nog veel aan de dag hebt.

Sehr liebe und freundliche Gastgeber. Ein rundum toller Urlaub. Die Unterkunft war sauber und mit allem ausgestattet, was man braucht.
