Cottage vacation rentals in Elbe

Even in the pictures, the house looked great – but in real life, it far exceeded our expectations! The accommodation is not only beautifully decorated, but radiates a warmth and generosity that is rarely found. Communication with Michela was straightforward, the handover went smoothly – the most important things were explained without being flooded. So we were able to start our weekend directly. We have never seen such a beautiful garden – well maintained and so lovingly laid out. You can immediately see why this house is so often booked. There was something to do for children of all ages, even teenagers. A small downside: Children count as full persons here from infancy. Unfortunately, this meant that we could not arrive in the desired family constellation, although the house offers 20 beds. Small children under 6 should not be counted. Apart from that, everything was wonderful - we'll be back.

We had a great time at the ferry house and enjoyed the stay very much - Heiko and Ina are totally nice and helpful and the place and garden are very nice. Thank you, we felt very comfortable and would be happy to come back!

The stay was great. The cottage was as described, very well equipped and very clean. At check-in, we received a small welcome gift in the form of sparkling wine & focaccia. The arrival was a little difficult, as we were awkwardly guided through a forest by Google Maps, with only one tarred road leading to the small village. So be careful here, it is better to drive 5 minutes longer than to be led through mud and slush. We still enjoyed our few days off here and can definitely imagine coming back for a longer period of time.

We had a great stay and everything worked smoothly, despite the last-minute change. The house is equipped with everything you need and the garden with hot tub and sauna is great! We were very pleased.

We loved it. We felt very comfortable.

We went to the cottage with 6 girls and 6 kids – and it was absolutely great! The cottage is beautiful, clean, stylishly furnished and well-equipped. The sauna and barrel were top, perfect for an evening “wellness” after a day of children's chaos 😄 The location is perfect – it's close to everything, whether it's for a trip, into the woods, or a playground. A big plus for a quiet neighborhood and accommodating owners. And did we get some rest? Well... not at all with so many children, but it was still a balm for the soul and we definitely want to come back here. We recommend all ten!

It was very nice and as described. Great surroundings, lovingly decorated without being too crowded. The kitchen is quite small (as described in the ad) but is above average well equipped for an AirBnB. Everything was very clean and maintained. However, you should be able to deal with one or the other spider, which I see as a logical consequence in a wooden house in nature. There are 3 houses next to each other, but since they are slightly offset, this does not bother you. The pool is slightly above the houses as described and is definitely worth it. Payment directly through AirBnB went smoothly. All in all a beautiful stay.

We chose the place as a Christmas meeting place for the family. It was really a feel-good place with plenty of space and yet a cozy ambience. The kitchen is modern and fully equipped for cooking together. Thanks to the underfloor heating, the children (and adults) can use the whole floor as a play area. A fireplace is available for use. During a cozy breakfast, deer often keep you company in the garden. The bathroom is an oasis of well-being with a walk-in shower and hot tub. The whole house is flooded with light. The beds were all cozy. We slept well. At night, there was no sound to be heard, no background noise from any street. Not far away are the Externsteine and the Hermannsdenkmal, among other things. It was perfectly sufficient for our short stay. But there is certainly more for those who want to stay longer. The hosts are easy to reach for questions. We'd love to come back.

Thank you so much for your stay. We enjoyed it very much and would love to come back. The stay was beyond our expectations. Beautiful cottage in a quiet place where we felt at home. And as a bonus, we had a homemade cake. Thanks again and we look forward to seeing you next time.

We had an amazing time at Klaras place. The house had everything you need and was very cozy. The garden is incredible, we spent our evenings grilling at the fireplace while our dog could stroll around. Klara is a great host, very friendly and good communication. We definitely recommend staying here and are looking forward to come back soon!

We were passing through and stayed with Katja for two nights. The cottage is very nice and lovingly furnished. The cottage has a character all its own. We immediately felt comfortable and enjoyed the stay. We were four adults and had two dogs with us. Everything worked out great and we would gladly come back.

Marta's place is a cute cottage near the forest. Everything was lovingly decorated and everything you need was available. Also ideal for dogs, as everything is fenced. Marta is very friendly and even offered to leave earlier or a little later. Which we were happy to take advantage of. We really enjoyed the weekend and would be happy to recommend the place ☺️

Such a great place in the middle of the forest, quiet and relaxing. A great host with lovely animals. Horses and dogs. You can relax in this place

Very quiet location near the lake. Nice little house. We spent an extended week in the house, had a barbecue and lit a cosy fireplace in the evening. We travelled by car and can recommend a trip to Karlovy Vary and Loket Castle.

The house is situated in a large, fully fenced off garden which gave me a peace of mind and allowed me to let me doggie run freely. The house is fantastic. A great coffee machine, fireplace and the two large windows provide incredible views. The surrounding area is perfect. There is a beautiful path around the lake that is lit up at night. It felt safe and well kept. It takes around 2hrs to walk round in a slow pace. The path is accessible directly from the rear gate from the house. Overall, we have had a relaxing time in the middle of the forrest. It was peaceful and exactly what we hoped for. We will be back. Best wishes

The cabin is very nice and spacious. It is located in a very quiet place, only 8 minutes by car from Semily, where there are supermarkets and restaurants.

In the HarzHirsch house, you feel right at home! The rooms are furnished with a lot of love for detail. The kitchen has great amenities and everything you need. With the two bathrooms, the house is also wonderful with 2 couples. Isabella was super accessible and clarified our questions within a few minutes. In the village, you have shopping facilities and the area is very quiet and idyllic. Always happy to come back - a big recommendation ✨😊

An absolutely fantastic cottage! Beautiful and stylishly furnished – every detail selected with a lot of love. The garden is huge and just perfect for relaxing, with its own separate area for us. The communication and service were consistently friendly and uncomplicated. A real insider tip for those looking for peace, style and nature. We will be back for sure!

We stayed with a larger group of friends at Ingrid's place. The house with the property is fantastic. Secluded, quiet but still close to excursions, restaurants and supermarkets. The place is as described and very well equipped. Check-in was flexible and straightforward. Contact with Ingrid was always quick and friendly. We felt completely comfortable and would be happy to come back.

We had a very relaxed time. The house is an oasis of tranquility. Great lakeside location. Plenty of space for the children to play soccer. Everything is very clean, very thoughtful and furnished to a high standard. In short: we would love to come back :-)

We stayed at Christoph&Marcus's coach trip for three nights and had wonderful days & time together with friends. The place is exactly as described and we didn't lack anything. We are passionate about the hospitality and loving work that the two invest in the renovation of the estate. We are grateful that they shared this with us as guests. In addition, not only the enjoyment of the peace and garden splendor, but also Marcus‘ patisserie artifacts (best to ask for the opening hours of the estate cafes and any exhibitions)! Warm regards, Juliane & Co.

Petra's house is simply a gem! Well thought-out details, nicely furnished, sparkling clean, everything you need. Great communication. I felt very comfortable from the first minute. A clear recommendation! Thank you, dear Petra, Sincerely, Frank

Very well designed and modern. Super clean and well maintained. Easy communication and check-in

We spent an extended weekend at Mildred's and it was wonderful! We were received super warmly with a little surprise! The accommodation and surroundings are great and both adults and kids get their money's worth. It is very rural, so it is perfect for a little break from city life - but you are also in Lutherstadt Wittenberg in twenty minutes. Mildred and her husband were great hosts who were always available to us when we had a concern. We had a great weekend in this idyll and can absolutely recommend a stay with Mildred and her family!
