Ickelhaus, 2-14 people, fireplace, infrared cabin

Cozy, unique and stylish - this roughly describes the approx. 260 m² large and approx. 330-year-old vacation home Ickelhaus 3 in a few words. Up to 14 people can spend quiet and relaxing days in a rural setting - Steigerwald/Romantic Franconia. The days can be filled with cooking together, working, chilling in front of the fireplace, relaxing in the garden, cycling, hiking, city tours, wine tasting, wellness, museum tours, etc. The space The listed half-timbered cottage is ideal for meetings in the larger friends or family crews, where the cozy get-together is in the foreground: cooking, chatting, walking & sports, wellness in the Franken Therme or in the Ickelheim Castle, excursions to Rothenburg ob der Tauber, Bamberg, Würzburg, Nuremberg or Ansbach. The house is also well suited for smaller work shops. In renovating, we have put a lot of emphasis on sustainability and natural products. For example, historic Solnhofener slabs, solid wood floorboards from the steiger forest and sun-burned boards from demolitions of the area were installed. The roof was also completely covered with historic bricks again. Underfloor heating has been installed on the entire ground floor, except for the bedroom and living room. The building is heated with a wood chip heater; the material comes from the farmers from the region. The heart of the house is the approx. 50 sqm kitchen with dining room. The room has three large iron windows and two wooden windows overlooking the garden. Here is the self-made dining table made of solid planks with 14 designer chairs as well as a generously equipped kitchen with cooking island, microwave, filter coffee machine, espresso machine, Thermomix TM31, hand mixer and a basic set of spices. If you don't feel like cooking: The butcher shop on site also offers catering, and there are also numerous inns in the village and in the surrounding area. A icing on the cake of the house is the infrared cabin on the ground floor, which is intended for 1-2 people. Furthermore, there is a large garden that is oriented in different directions, so you can enjoy sun or shade depending on your wishes and time of day.
