Germany Getaway for couples

The apartment in Schonwald was perfect for a week's stay for 2 couples (apartment actually sleeps 6 very comfortably). We were able to travel in all directions and see many areas in a matter or an hour or two. Castles, caves, churches, lakes, wasserfalls, wine country - all within easy reach. The property was clean, had everything you need to cook if you want and easy access to restaurants and grocery stores. Would highly recommend for a week's stay at any time of the year. September was perfect!

Schonwald Apartment Review - August 2011

The apartment is fantastic!! Starting from our first contact with the caretaker (Jurgen), who spoke excellent English and couldn't have been more helpful, to when we sadly departed, we had an excellent holiday. The apartment is very well equipped with many of the smaller details taken care of (dishwasher tablets, foil, wrap etc......even birthday cake candles !!!) The views are fantastic along the valley and we loved the village of Schonwald. The pool was great fun and we had this to ourselves for the entire week. The Konus card came in handy when visiting Triberg Falls and playing minigolf in the town. The only negative point I would mention is the stairs inside the apartment up to the second level. We felt these weren't suitable for our 3 year old as the steps were both higher and steeper than normal stairs and so he had sleep downstairs. However, overall the apartment is far better than many other, more expensive places we have stayed and we felt it was excellent value for money. I would definitely recommend this apartment and we hope to return one day.

Never have we stayed in such a spacious, clean and well equipped holiday home. It was just as descibed and our bed linen and towels were changed at the end of the first week. The indoor pool was bigger than expected and while I enjoyed an early morning swim my husband ran through the forest behind the apartment. The views were beautiful from the balcony and the roof terrace and we all enjoyed sitting and reading in glorious sunshine. The quiet town of Schonwald is a good base to explore the Black Forest and experience all that it has to offer. Having 2 teenagers (15 & 18) we particularly enjoyed eating out at the Kolmnhof in Martinskapelle and at Gasthof Rossle in the Weissenbach, both were welcoming and served delicious food. We hired a boat at Lake Titisee, swam in Lake Schluchsee and made 2 train journeys, one to Freiburg (using the Konus card) and another to Konstanz. Other trips included Europa Park (just as good as Disney Land Paris), the Sensory Park and Rodelbahn at Gutach and several visits to the freibads (outdoor pools) at Triberg and Schonwald to cool off after long hot days! Several guests found that one week wasn't enough, however we found that two weeks wasn't enough!! We would definitely return again. Thanks Eddy and Hilde for a great holiday.

First class apartment

A really comfortable apartment, equipped with everything you need for your vacation. Picture-postcard views of the green hills and forests out of the windows always looked beautiful, and the village is quiet but has all the shops you need and restaurants close by, or a short drive into Triberg for larger stores. Lovely clean air because of the altitude (1000m). The downstairs pool was ideal for a dip, although the spiral staircase may be awkward for people of restricted mobility or with babes in arms. Loads to see in the area, and the driving is easy and always at a sedate pace! All-in-all, very good value and highly recommended.

My wife and I and 2 travelling companions spent a week in this apartment in mid June 2011. As world travellers for some 20 years, we can honestly say that this apartment is probably the best equipped and most comfortable we have stayed in over that time. The owners have provided everything to make their guests very comfortable . It is immaculately maintained, spotlessly clean and well located with just a short walk to shops,restaurants etc .The views from the balconies provide a beautiful rural outlook and we can just imagine what it would be like in winter shrouded in snow. The owners,Hilde and Eddy, were generous hosts with their time in answering, in some detail,any queries prior to our arrival. Also their caretaker, Heinz-Jurgen and his wife greeted us warmly and assisted us to settle in hassle free. We would have no hesitation in recommending this apartment to family and friends. As an aside, and to make our holiday even more enjoyable we were able to attend an outdoor band concert one evening in the local park. What a bonus!! and one of our more memorable evenings.

My daughter (11), my mom and myself stayed at this spacious apartment in May 2011. It was everything the ad described and more. Eddy and Hilde were easy to deal with. The apt was clean and in excellent condition. The owners are very receptive to any comments that have been left in the past. The views from all sides of the apt were beautiful. Tons of windows and 2 balconies; one with sun all day! It was so peaceful; only the birds as noise! The villages nearby are all very easy to get to on the public bus system. Triberg has Germany's longest waterfall and many cuckoo clock shops also a couple of very nice restuarants to eat and drink at. Shopping is good in Triberg too. Lake Titisee is about a half hour drive and you can take the bus. But we really enjoyed just hanging out at the apartment and relaxing with wine and beer. My daughter loved the privacy of the upstairs loft area which has tons of toys and a tv/dvd. Also there is a small indoor pool to enjoy. Everything was perfect and I hope to go back again. There are tons of hiking trails right out your back door that allow one to enjoy the wilderness and beauty of the Black forest without getting lost! Thank you Eddy and Hilde!

Vacation Home that has it all
Guest: SBE

Date of Stay: 04/16/11
Review Submitted: 04/30/11
Where to start... Eddy and Hilde were unbelievably responsive during the booking process, answered our many questions and flexible in accomodating some unique circumstances. The apartment itself has everything one could possibly need - we were impressed to see that they asked for guests to leave suggestions of things they'd like and that those are then ticked off over time (for example a hair dryer) - evidence that they take this seriously. Apartment was clean and in good condition with nice bathroom and functional kitchen. Our girls liked the character of the separate bedroom upstairs. Caretaker was very helpful and the location is wonderful - we used it as a base to do different day trips, but you do need to allow some time to drive on the narrow and scenic roads. Grocery store down the street has everything essential and the we really enjoyed a local restaurant that the owners had recommended - outstanding food. Hard to think of any material negatives - perhaps if you wanted to be really picky then it would be nice if there was a way to get into the garage from the outside parking spot instead of having to walk all the way around the building - but that is only an inconvenience if you have heavy things to carry (and there are workarounds). All in all, I'd unreservedly recommend this apartment.

Wow, wow, wow. This place is even better and nicer than the photos and description suggest. We spent a week here in late September, 2010, and had a wonderful time with our two young children. The apartment is very large and spread over two floors, and has all of the mod cons you would ever need for a comfortable stay. The location of Schonwald is ideal, with all of the day trip possiblities within an hour's drive in any direction. The village itself is quiet, but has all the grocery stores, banks, bakerei/konditorei (bakery and patisseries) and metzgereis (butchers) you will need. There is also a large outdoor pool and minigolf area (closed during our stay, unfortunately), and a huge playground for the kids, including a zip line, which was a real hit with our 3 year old. The indoor pool in the building is a bonus for rainy days, but is a little hard to access with very young children (a steep spiral staircase is difficult with wet feet while carrying a struggling 28 lb toddler). The same goes for the upstairs of the apartment, which is accessed by a steep ladder staircase. This would be fine for older children, say over the age of 7 or 8, but younger children must be assisted and supervised to avoid falls. Eddy and Hilde were a real pleasure to deal with over email, and their caretaker, Heinz-Jurgen, is also very helpful and friendly. The KONUS card is a pretty good deal - it grants you access to the Triberg waterfall viewing areas, and almost pays for itself through this use alone. We also used it to go by train to St-Georgen and Donaueschingen, which the children loved, as there are lots of tunnels and steep drop-offs along the journey. Overall, we highly recommend this apartment. We were very sorry to leave and plan to return in a few years time. Thanks again, Eddy and Hilde!

A chill out week in the Black Forest

This is a very well equipped, spacious and comfortable apartment in the heart of the Black Forest. It is in a good location for touring and sightseeing or, as we mostly did, just relaxing and enjoying walks, bike rides and runs through the Forest. Schönwald is fairly quiet, but there are enough local restaurants to provide variety - especially if you don't mind a walk. The open air pools (Schönwald & Triberg) are both excellent. The local people are friendly and welcoming.

We really enjoyed our stay at this apartment in Schonwald. The kids loved the upstairs room with their own TV/DVD player and space to play boardgames etc. The swimming pool proved very popular also. Schonwald itself was very quiet for the period we were there with most restaurants either closed or empty with the exception of the Gasthof Rossle which was a very pleasant 3 km walk from the apartment. The apartment itself was very spacious and had everything we needed for a pleasant stay.
