Right on the lake – House to the ship

The historic "Haus zum Schiff" (house by the ship) from the 17th century, situated on the shores of Lake Constance, captivates not only with spacious living areas but also with its private seating area and direct access to the lake. In recent years, the ground floor and first-floor apartment operated as a lovingly run restaurant, cherished and well-established in the region. We are delighted to now share the joy of this historic building and its lakeside charm with guests from around the world. The space This lovingly furnished accommodation is located in the historic center of Ermatingen, right by the lake, featuring its own small garden plot with private access to the water. On the ground floor, you'll find a large fully equipped kitchen, a dining room, a cozy living area with a sofa bed, a wardrobe, a toilet, and a laundry tower. A spiral staircase or elevator takes you to the first floor, leading to an airy, bright hallway. From there, you can access two bedrooms, a dressing room, a small bathroom with a toilet, and a large bathroom with a shower-bathtub and two sinks. Additionally, the first floor includes a spacious communal room with a sitting area, a desk offering a stunning view of Lake Constance, and a pull-out bed. The ground floor also features a storage room for bicycles or other equipment. Guest access IMPORTANT This beautiful historic building has a unique layout. The apartment includes the ground floor and the first floor. The owner, Ursula, lives on the second floor, and due to the open layout, she needs to share the entrance and the elevator. This part cannot be separated from the vacation rental, so it’s possible that you might briefly cross paths. She takes the elevator directly to her apartment, so this only affects the area around the front door. The spiral staircase also leads up to her apartment, but she does not use it when the apartment is booked. In return, we kindly ask our guests to respect the barrier to the second floor to keep her privacy. Other things to note HERE LIVES A PET Our cat, Quintus, also calls this house his home. Please be kind to him; he is a sentient being and deserves respectful treatment. He enjoys attention and petting and is a sociable guy. Don’t pressure him, and do not leave children or pets alone with him. Keep the room doors closed if you prefer not to have him on the beds or upholstered furniture.
