Vacation rentals with lake access in Ratekau

We described the place is actually a little remote and quiet. Although the highway is right behind a hill, you don't get a lot of it inside. The apartment was nicely decorated and we had everything we need.

The house is as seen in the pictures very beautiful and furnished to a high standard. Everything you need is available and also small details such as extra blankets, a pair of spices and a barbecue were there. Upon arrival, we received a warm welcome and we got an introduction. The sauna overlooking the garden is a highlight, especially at night due to the built-in starry sky and LED lighting. Fire bowl and wood were also available, which we were allowed to use easily. You can walk to the swimming spot on the lake in about 2 minutes. Overall a wonderful stay that is ideal for relaxing and unwinding. The communication with Scarlett and Robert was also straightforward and answers to questions were always quick. We will certainly come back again!

Gerd's home was spacious, and warm. It is tucked off the street in a small town in Northern Germany. We were fortunate to see snowfall and it couldn't have been prettier if we dreamed it. As an American family we were welcomed by Gerd's adult son who spoke perfect English to us.

Susanne's place is super nice. Absolutely quiet location, superbly equipped, comfortable beds and nicely decorated. There is also enough storage space for the items you bring with you. The view of the field is particularly beautiful.

We stayed at Katharina's beautiful place over New Year's Eve with 4 families and a total of 6 children and had a great time! There is a lot of space and retreat options. The playroom is perfect and the kids loved it. The house is super equipped and was super cozy! Next time would use the upper bedroom but only as a game room. We will definitely be back, next time in summer so we also have something from the pool and tennis court:) Thanks also to Ms. Ms. Marthiensen for the nice welcome!

Simple, very clean space that was as advertised. Very nice host who communicated quickly and was very helpful. We also got wood for the fireplace. It is an older house, which is why it could become Kugler's feet. I would recommend socks for this. All in all, a pleasant stay, thank you very much.

This is an amazing house. You can feel the love of the people living here, but it is all made perfectly available for guests. Stefanie is truly lovely and we had the best time at this house with our friend group! Well recommended!

Thank you for the lovely holiday. It was a lot of fun for me and my kids.

Apartment was as described. Very central location, much within walking distance. Good communication.

A very nice reception from Birgit in her beautifully furnished apartment, which is located in a quiet side street with magnificent views of the large pretty garden. We were even allowed to take the canoe on the Schwentine. Beautiful! Birgit and Markus are very friendly, affectionate people who are happy to help you. We can only recommend the apartment and would love to come back.

Everything was great there! We felt comfortable in the Airbnb and didn't miss anything. Adam responded to messages quickly and was very friendly. We would always come back! :-)

Great private Airbnb! Everything from town to great restaurants were walking distance. Also a wonderful organic market and lots of coffee shops no more than 5 min walking distance. Super clean place, comfortable bed and lovely canal views.

Very neat and clean accommodation only a few minutes away from the idyllic nature.

Apartment is beautiful, well appointed and also great for more people or families. Due to the location in the backyard, it is very quiet. Parking is easy to find, even though the streets are quite narrow. Kitchen is well equipped, the bathroom is very nice with lots of space. The additional guest toilet is great! We felt very comfortable!🫶

It was just a dream. The apartment is super nice and cozy and clean. The landlords were super nice and friendly, always available when you had questions. The view was beautiful too. All in all, we spent a few very beautiful days and that thanks to Leif and his wife. I would like to thank you again very much and tell you that you are the best, stay as you are. Kind regards, Raphaela Mann

Everything is great, we will be happy to come back! :)

The place is nicely located right on the lake. The kitchen is very spacious, there is a terrace where it is possible to look directly at the lake and in the living room is a huge window front overlooking the water. We felt very comfortable right away! Eckhard was always available in advance and during the stay and very helpful.

Saskia and Hendrik's house is very stylish and tastefully decorated. The hosts are very warm, likeable and helpful. A swimming spot on the lake is less than a minute's walk away and the sea is just under 10 minutes by bike. We felt very comfortable and would book the house again at any time. Thank you for the great time in your beautiful home.

Unfortunately, we made the mistake and did not read the description of the house accurately enough, otherwise we would have noticed that this is a semi-detached house. If we had read it, we wouldn't have booked the house. The other half was also inhabited. Based on the photos, we expected a significantly larger house. Unfortunately, you can only see/guess from the very last photo that there is another house right next to it. Possibly the owners, we saw each other, but there was no greeting. For us, as an older couple, the stairs were very borderline, unfortunately we felt very unsafe on them. Especially if you have to go downstairs to the toilet at night, sleepy. Even if all this may sound negative, we can explicitly recommend the house. Very stylish, very nicely furnished, very quiet, very close to nature, very nice landscape. From this point of view, a dream!

Wunderschönes Hidaway!!

My daughter and I had some really lovely and cozy days. The home is cozy and very clean and tidy. We had everything we needed to make breakfast and dinner. Went a lovely trip at Westensee one day and got help from Caroline to find a great trip. Check-in was done by Caroline too, she was super sweet and helpful.

This place is a true gem. The location at the lake is stunning as it gets the evening sun and the lake is perfect for SUP and swimming. We loved every second of our stay there!
