Wiesenblick Vacation Rental
The stay with 7 people (5 adults and 2 children) in the beautiful apartment was great! The house was very clean, nice bathrooms, comfortable and very extensively equipped. The kids had a great time with the ping pong table/darts etc. Cozy to turn on the fireplace in the evening and the bedrooms were comfortable. Communication with Martina was great. If anything came up, she responds very quickly and her husband comes by to fix it. Nice tour and story given by her husband, about the pigs, which they have on the property. Very cozy, in summer even a swimming pool and there is a large garden to play for children. Overall, we have enjoyed! Tip restaurant; Gasthaus Suer. Very cozy and delicious food. We'd love to come back!

As Nice As Paradise

Everything was great.

Historic barn
Super nice little barn, good communication and responsiveness of the hostess. Gladly come back :-)

Casa Monica
Our stay there was perfect. The house provided everything we needed. We recommend 100% this location.

House with pool in the heart of Bochum
The really big house has many beautiful rooms furnished with attention to the details. Everyone has their own flair and there is something to discover everywhere. Very cozy and dreamy. The pool was - in addition to the picturesque kitchen that looked like the Lord of the Rings - the highlight of the house. We had a lot of space here, fun and hope to visit more houses like this.

Waldrand Vacation Rental
Beautiful apartment that is an optimal size for 7 people. The apartment was very clean and had everything you need. We spent an extended weekend there and were able to relax wonderfully during walks in the area.

Charming guest house for 1-3 people
Dieter is a great host, his house was quite clean and he was a very helpful host. There was only one minor negativity for me which was the heating. Only A/C is available for the heating but we visited in a cold season and it was not that sufficient. Other than that everything was great! I definitely recommend the place.
Weekly house rentals

Oberwinkelhausen– 120 m² in idyllic countryside
We had a very nice week in the house! The arrival was completely fine and the house is very spacious. You have a lot of space in the bathroom, the master bedroom and also there is a lot of space for your belongings. The kitchen is fantastically fitted with everything you need. The host are super nice and quick to respond to questions. The garden is fenced off and lovely for children to play. We heard the highway outside, but probably also because there was no leaf on the trees yet the week we were there. The garden set was lovely with pillows. Only downside was the sofa, it sits quite hard and was less comfortable than it looked in the photos. The windows can all be blinded against sunlight, ideal if you want to sleep in the dark. In short: a beautiful holiday week. Thank you to these super hosts!

Private floor (2 bedrooms+1 living room+1bathroom)
Aleksandra was a very pleasant host. She was flexible with our needs and made our stay as nice as possible. The location was great too and we would recommend this airbnb to anyone.

Jens welcomed us at really short notice. The property was clean and modern, with off street parking. Jens also showed us his tiny house and tree house, which are also on AirB&B, so check them out for a unique experience. Would definitely recommend it, and it’s great for families.

We had three really nice days in Nina's apartment and felt super comfortable right from the start. Communication with her was totally straightforward – she was always available, responded super quickly and gave us super clear information. The apartment itself is in top condition, very clean and really nicely decorated – you can tell that she has put some thought into it. Everything worked smoothly and the handling was totally easy. Thanks for the great place, Nina! We will definitely come back 😊
