About this property

Designed to Pause: Fireplace, Sauna & Quiet Rest

ABAITA Ferienhaus is a design-led, all-inclusive vacation home in Brandenburg. 50 minutes from Berlin, and a world away from hurry.

We're Kobi and Vincenzo. We designed and built this house as a place to genuinely rest. Not a retreat from life, but a pause in it. A place where you slow down and feel the difference immediately.

We lived in an empty house through seasons before finishing it. We lit the stove. Sat in silence. Discovered what actually matters when you want to stop, breathe, and reconnect. The house taught us what it needed. Everything here came from that experience.

The living room centers around a real wood-burning stove. Large windows frame fields and sky. Nature sets the rhythm, not your schedule.

The kitchen is fully equipped. Upstairs, a quiet lounge overlooks the fields. Perfect for reading, writing, or thinking differently.

Bedrooms are built for rest: high-quality linens, thoughtful pillows, blackout blinds. You sleep deeply.

Outside: a private wood-barrel sauna faces the landscape. A fully fenced garden with calm corners. Covered terrace where meals stretch out. A rotating double lounger for star-watching.

The house sits at the edge of Hafendorf Zerpenschleuse, opening directly onto fields, forest, and canal paths. Zerpenschleuse is a hidden corner of Brandenburg. Not about attractions. About rhythm. Walk the canal, hear owls at night, or do nothing at all.

Everything is included. No surprises. No hidden extras. No meter readings. What's included:

✔ Electricity, heating, AC, water
✔ Private garden sauna
✔ High-quality bed linen and towels
✔ Toiletries and cleaning supplies
✔ Fiber Wi-Fi
✔ Final cleaning

We built ABAITA to welcome dogs. The fenced garden, durable materials, and thoughtful details all reflect that. If you're bringing your companion, they'll find a home designed with them in mind.

It's a place to exhale. Built with care. Shaped with intention. For those who understand that beauty doesn't need to shout.
Our prices include all fees. No hidden fees.

About the host

Hosted by Kobi / Vincenzo

Host profile image
We're Kobi and Vincenzo—partners in life and design. One works in interior styling and design; the other brings warmth and creative hospitality.

We created ABAITA as more than a rental. It's a retreat designed to help you actually rest. While we may not greet you in person, every detail carries our attention—from how light falls to how the bed feels.

ABAITA was built with care, love, and intention for people like you who long for peace and stillness.

Why they chose this property

Our dog Choya led us here. During the pandemic, we visited Zerpenschleuse with her for a walk. She explored the available plots, then stopped in a quiet clearing and lay down. That was our answer.

Choya didn’t live to see the house completed, but in many ways, this place still belongs to her. It has her calm, her instinct. Her peace.

Zerpenschleuse is quiet—fields, sky, owls at night. It's a place to exhale.

What makes this property unique

We didn't design it from a template. We lived in it first—through seasons, through silence. Every choice came from asking: what do you really need to feel at ease?

Nothing here is flashy. Everything is intentional.

It's for those seeking beauty, calm, and reconnection. Not just a place to stay, but a feeling you carry with you after you leave.
