House rentals with a pool

Manor by the lake - 2 storeys Loft - near cities
Anne's property is beautiful. It is peaceful and quiet and the area is wonderful.

Luna apartment with wellness area and garden
Very beautiful and complete house, nice place to stay! Florian is a really good host and makes sure everything is good for you.

As Nice As Paradise
Great host and a very nice place conveniently located. Great communications and clarity. Overall we were very happy with our stay.

Ferienvilla Forstwald
We were with 6 adults, 2 small children and 1 dog at Jens' place for a family celebration in Krefeld. The house is super beautiful right in the forest, perfect for walks with the dog. The house has a very nice garden with pool and hot tub, unfortunately we had very bad weather, so we could not use the pool. Everything felt very cozy. We will be happy to come back.

Wonderful summer house with garden
This was a perfect place to stay for our family with 3 children. The private (massive) garden was exactly what we needed to ensure our kids could still play without having to be too quiet, such as it is in most apartments. There were plenty of toys and a playground as a bonus. The host was wonderful and friendly, always checking on our needs and responding to our requests. One minor issue is that the kitchen doesn't have hot water so you need to get warm water from the bathroom for doing dishes. For staying in the summer, this place is ideal and we'd happily go back!

Historic barn
We’ve had a lovely stay at this beautiful barn home. The owner was responsive and kind. The weather was nice and we made use of the outside kitchen and the amazing heated pool (about 27C.). The home itself was very clean and cozy.

House with pool in the heart of Bochum
We felt very comfortable with Patricia and had a very relaxing time in Bochum. The house is as described, very spacious and cozy. The communication with the host was impeccable and very friendly. We were completely satisfied, especially the many bathrooms and toilets made the stay with 6 girls very easy!

Casa Monica
Great place to stay! Really gives you the Mediterranean feeling. And that in the middle of the Ruhrgebiet! Contact with the host was outstanding. Definitely recommend this place to everyone and hope we come back soon

Aldo's and Anna's Cottage
Stayed at Anna's for the second time We are always very satisfied with everything. Everything is going great The cottage is super nice and cozy. Wasn't the last time ☺️ Thank you 😊

Small but nice apartment
We were on site with changing staff during the Ruhrfestspiele. Everything went smoothly and to our satisfaction. Apartment & communication great! We'll be happy to come back next time.

Cozy apartment
The host was attentive to our questions and any issues that came up were quickly dealt with. The bedrooms were in the attic space, separate from the main level kitchen and living room area. We had pleasant weather and so the temperature in the rooms remained comfortable, but in a heatwave it would be different. The apartment kitchen had the basic equipment. Coffee machine with coffee available. Quiet apartment in a quiet neighborhood with parking on site. Groceries store two minutes walk. Walk to center town would be 20-25 minutes.

Living on the Alpakahof
We had a very pleasant stay. Cedric and his family are very kind and welcoming. We enjoyed spending a weekend on their farm. The alpacas are a great addition, very nice to meet them.

Andrea is a wonderful host who knows how to make her guests feel at home from the start. The house is simply great!!! Leaves nothing to be desired - it is a real dream - absolutely recommended!!! When I'm back in the area, I'll definitely book Andrea's house again - it's much better than any other house I've ever booked on Airbnb. Dear Andrea, 1000 thanks for everything - Regards

Helmut's Cottage
It was just beautiful! We lacked nothing, and we ended up living there for three months! Once we didn't have any baking paper, I asked if they could help us. What could you and the next day we had a whole pack lying in front of the door. Really attentive. This and many other friendly gestures really made this stay a second home. It is also super child-friendly. What can I say, if we didn't live in the neighborhood, we would definitely come back 😉

1Step2AllCities House&Garden Ferienhaus 94m2
The cottage is surrounded by greenery and yet is very well connected to the city by bus. We felt very comfortable. Everything was super clean, very well maintained and lovingly furnished. Our daughter particularly liked the foosball in the living room. Jens greeted us right upon arrival and gave us valuable tips for restaurants and shopping. We highly recommend this place!

Cozy half-timbered house in the Oberberg region
We've already been to here for the second time and - this time despite rainy weather - we felt very comfortable again!We were well provided with tips and hints from host Andrea. The kitchen is super equipped and above all the garden is wonderful thanks to roses and seating and even a fire bowl. On foot, we were able to quickly (5-10 min) leave the less exciting residential area behind us and were in the forest and fields with the cows. We will be happy to come back!

Galeriehaus Residenza, air conditioning, electric charging station
had an incredibly pleasant experience during our stay with Wolfgang. the space was great and there was enough space for 11 people. after our stay, we went bouldering at Avalonia, the Airbnb is at a very pleasant distance from this beautiful area. the communication with Wolfgang was also great, always quick response and very friendly. definitely recommended.

House with a large garden at the city park
Everything great, clean, apartment tastefully and modernly furnished, super nice contact. Everything well equipped and clean. Very helpful and did everything to give us a perfect stay. We will be happy to come back!
