The 40-square-meter apartment features a stunningly beautiful, spacious bedroom (with a 180-cm-wide bed) boasting a fieldstone wall and a window offering a view of the sky. Adjacent to it is a bright shower room with natural light. The kitchen-living room features a modern built-in kitchen with an oven, dishwasher, and everything you need for cooking. You can make yourself comfortable on the cozy sofa with a book. Or in front of the TV, which has a satellite connection and is also connected to the internet. From the kitchen-living room, you step directly onto your own 20-square-meter terrace (south-facing), which is equipped with a large umbrella and patio furniture. From the terrace, a staircase leads directly to a large lawn, where there is a wooden playhouse for children and a large, covered grill/fire pit. Children are also allowed to camp in the garden in front of the terrace.
The standard occupancy for this apartment is two people. The sofa in the kitchen-living room can be converted into a full-size bed (160 cm wide with a slatted frame and cold-foam mattress), making it possible to accommodate up to four people overnight. Alternatively, if available, you can also rent one or both of the other two vacation apartments (Apartments 1 and 2) right next door. You can rent the 38-square-meter common room—which also features a modern built-in kitchen and a wood-burning stove—directly from the landlord.
Motorcyclists are welcome and can store their bikes safely. Dogs are allowed in this apartment (No. 3), provided they are peaceful and well-behaved.
Welcome to the Maijeschhof! Idyllically situated at the foot of Kasselburg Castle, in the heart of the Vulkaneifel, the Maijeschhof—built in 1807—combines country life in the old village center of Pelm with easy walking access to the town of Gerolstein.

The historic barn houses four charming vacation apartments that combine modern comfort with rustic charm.
Our common room (available for rent directly from the owner only) offers a cozy gathering spot in front of the wood-burning stove—ideal for cooking together, enjoying coffee, or even holding meetings and seminars. During the warmer months, the sun terrace, garden, and barbecue area invite you to relax. For the adventurous, there’s even the option to camp on our lawn.
