Renovated with lots of love and passion!

This unique vacation home, built in 1930, sleeps up to 6 people (max. 4 adults) and one dog, and is located in the small village of Upleward in beautiful Krummhörn.

As soon as you step inside, the exposed wooden beams and beautiful hardwood floors immediately convey the historic charm of this home. The living room features three cozy sofas facing the large TV and the pellet stove, which provides cozy warmth in the winter. The dining room, which has an extendable dining table, features a second TV, as well as a desk and a pull-out sofa bed for 1–2 people in a separate area. The kitchen is equipped with all necessary appliances: refrigerator with freezer, dishwasher, oven, glass-ceramic cooktop, microwave, coffee maker, toaster, electric kettle, and much more.
Both bathrooms are also located on the first floor: One bathroom features a toilet, sink, hair dryer, shower, bathtub, and bio-sauna; the second bathroom includes a sink, shower, urinal, and washer-dryer. The house also offers many other practical amenities for your vacation, such as a shoe-shining machine.

A steep staircase leads to the upper floor, where you’ll find the two bedrooms and a guest restroom (cold water only). One bedroom has a double bed; the other bedroom has two single beds, a closet, and children’s toys. This room also has a changing table. A stair gate is provided for child safety.

The large garden—which has been fully fenced since May 2026 and features attractive garden lighting—is ideal for dogs and children to run around and play; there is also a sandbox for the children. The patio is furnished and includes a swivel grill and a fire pit.

Bicycles can be stored safely in the storage shed, where four bicycles, a balance bike for toddlers, a children’s bike with training wheels, and two toddler bikes are available free of charge (subject to availability and without liability on our part). Two parking spaces are included with the house.

Free Wi-Fi is available (we do not guarantee unrestricted availability or sufficient speed).

Dogs are also welcome upon prior notice! Smoking is not permitted inside the house.

In Upleward, you’ll find the dry beach right along the dike, complete with a large playground; you can also enjoy long walks here.

During the Easter and fall breaks, this property is rented for stays of five nights or more with no fixed changeover day.

The picturesque town of Greetsiel is only about 13 km away, where you can explore and marvel at the numerous sights (e.g., the fishing harbor, the twin windmills). But you can also reach Emden—with its many attractions and shopping opportunities—relatively quickly in the other direction. Just outside Emden, on the Ems River, lies Knock, where you’ll also find a large dog-friendly beach perfect for long walks with your four-legged friend.

You’re welcome to add a laundry package as an optional extra. This can be done during the booking process or at any time afterward for a fee.
