Unobstructed view - Cabin

Our old 2-story barn was used as a chicken coop and workshop until the 2000s. After renting out a vacation apartment, the Blickinsfreie Loft, in our old factory since 2018, I decided to turn the barn into an individual but above all minimalist accommodation that you don't come across every day - glamping at its best! ARD was recently a guest for a #roomtour - feel free to check out ARD! The space THE PRIVATE CABIN On the ground floor of the cabin is the everyday living area with a kitchenette, dining and sink table as well as a rustic living area with a fireplace, which can also be separated from the front part of the barn by the heat protection curtain. There is also an old but mostly out of tune piano ready for strumming. The powerful fireplace makes the living area of the cabin cuddly warm on cool days. The sleeping floor, which has only recently been updated, is located directly above the stove and can also be heated with the floor flap open. Of course, I provide wood. Attention: The operating instructions for the oven are available on site and must be read for safe use! Of course, I will also give you a briefing. The kitchen area has a professional 2-burner gas stove, small refrigerator, kettle and simple dishes & cooking equipment. This of course includes oil, salt and pepper, but also some herbal teas from our garden. Those who always want to wash their dishes like in the old days will get their money's worth with our old sink with 2 enamel bowls. Hot water is available via the outdoor shower, so you can wash up like 100 years ago. The rustic sleeping floor extends over half of the barn floor area. The beds are made up with sheets and freshly covered pillows as well as a wool blanket. Attention: For the sleeping floor, as described in the listing, you need sleeping bags or your own blankets. In summer, summer sleeping bags are sufficient, in winter you need proper sleeping bags. If you have any questions or ambiguities, I will be happy to contact you before booking. A special highlight is our hot water outdoor shower, which invites you to enjoy an open-air shower behind the cabin. A sustainable compost toilet is available, which works with sawdust. Drinking water is located at the outdoor shower as well as at the large sink next to the terrace. The terrace as well as the large garden invites you to socialize. Guest access IMPORTANT NOTES WHEN BOOKING IN WINTER (November - May) Thanks to the powerful fireplace, which was installed in the barn in 2019, I can also rent our cabin to adventure enthusiasts in winter. Nevertheless, I would like to briefly discuss the special features of use between November and May. The barn is not insulated and therefore has 2 thermal protection curtains: one at the entrance area and one to separate the living area around the stove. The front part of the barn, where the kitchenette is located, is only heated indirectly. Of course, the barn also heats up completely through the stove, but the kitchen area / entrance area and the sleeping floor only get moderately warm. The living area with couch, table, armchairs and piano is cozy and warm even at -10 degrees, but the stove must be stoked all day. Continuous heating of the stove in winter is therefore important. Wood briquettes are available for the nights or day trips, so that even through the night or in the absence, the embers never go out. In winter, I provide 2 warm Bulgarian sheep wool blankets per bed, which also keep guests warm overnight on the highest hut in the Balkans (Ivan Vazov 2300 m above sea level). Nevertheless, proper sleeping bags are a must, otherwise you may freeze at night. The modern shared bathroom including shower and toilet is located on the ground floor of the main house in the months of November to May and is about 20 meters away. If necessary, the dishes used can also be washed directly in the shared bathroom in winter. Recently, a dishwasher was also purchased for the common room in the house.

CITY TAXES The city of Schöneck charges tourist tax and has completely digitized the billing, so the accommodations are no longer allowed to accept the spa tax directly from the guest. In order to make it easy for guests to handle, WELCMpass has been introduced. Payment and guest bonus use works comfortably digitally via smartphone. The tourist tax is 2.00 euros per adult & stay day and for children/adolescents aged 6-18 each 1.00 euros per day of stay. Arrival & departure days count together as one day according to the tourist tax statute of the city of Schöneck. I will send the link for comfortable registration and payment along with the booking confirmation. The registration and payment of the tourist tax must be made at the latest by arrival and proven to us. Thank you! I wish you a pleasant stay and pure relaxation already. I'm always available for any questions you may have. With gratitude, René Eckert
