Owner's Profile
Owner Description
Year Purchased: 2004
We are a British couple in our late 50s living at our apartments in Bavaria since 2005. After we bought our first house here, we found that we loved the area so much, we wanted to be here almost full time. So we are usually here to welcome our guests and are available during their stay to help out with questions, arrange tickets, book restaurants etc.
Why the Owner Chose Bayerisch Eisenstein
We have a publishing company specialising in business information on Eastern Europe so we are occasionally away on business trips - the reason we bought property here was the convenient location, with Prague and Munich just a couple of hours away and Vienna and Frankfurt an easy half day drive away. We chose this location partly because it is lovely for holidays all year round, with plenty of snow in winter for skiing and just walking in the forest and lots of things to do and places to visit in the rest of the year. While this is a holiday area, it is never really busy and crowded.
The Unique Benefits of this Apartment
The clean air, spring water, peace and quiet and friendliness of the people are the joys of being in the Bavarian Forest. The National Park is so close to our houses, you can almost reach out of the windows and touch the trees. Our houses are in a small community on the edge of the village and this is country life as it used to be. The cost of living is also lower here than in the UK! There are some excellent restaurants in the village and nearby and it is great to be able to walk to them as well as to the supermarket and the station - the hourly train service to and from the village is a real bonus.

We had a wonderful time at Haus Sterr this past week. Margaret and Martin were lovely hosts to 6 confused Americans in Germany. Thank you both for the great time, food, drink and laughs. We'll be sure to tell anyone interested in a European vacation to check out Haus Sterr.
