*Gulfhof Boomgaarden - 16 Albert - Gulfhof Boomgaarden - 16 Albert (upper floor)

A hearty “Moin” and “Welcome” to our renovated vacation farm—nestled in an idyllic orchard in the quaint village of Upleward. Upleward is located between Emden and Greetsiel and is characterized by various very well-preserved historic buildings that give this East Frisian circular village its own unique charm.
Our apartments in the front building of the vacation farm feature high ceilings with original exposed beams throughout. The historic block-frame windows and shutters were handcrafted to match the original design and complete the look of this historic, listed Gulfhof. The former barn wing houses bright and spacious apartments with floor-to-ceiling windows. All vacation apartments are individually designed, modern, and furnished with great attention to detail, offering a relaxing view of the green spaces with mature trees from the terrace.
Built in 1851, the Gulfhof BOOMGAARDEN had stood uninhabited for 40 years and was already showing signs of weathering. Thanks to the initiative of East Frisian historic preservation enthusiasts, the building was extensively renovated and converted into a charming vacation farmstead. The preservation of the original structure and the retention of its distinctive details give all the apartments a unique character.
An integral part of the farm is an extraordinary collection of apple, pear, plum, and mirabelle trees, and a communal fire pit enhances the recreational value year-round.
Our vacation farm is the ideal starting point for a wide range of activities: hiking, biking, or kayaking in the Krummhörn region; water sports in the Wadden Sea; cultural excursions to popular nearby towns such as Greetsiel, Pilsum, and Emden; or even day trips to the East Frisian Islands. The nearby dike and dry beach also invite you to linger.
