This was a gem of a find on my husband's part (and he did an extensive amount of research not only on HomeAway, but many other sites--so let me spare you the extra work in finding the perfect place with this review).
Our stay in this beautiful and charming home quickly made its way to being the highlight of our honeymoon. Not only are you surrounded be an enchanting forest and creek, tucked away from the (very little) activity of Altmuenster; you get to retreat to a regal, palacial bedroom found by winding the spiral staircase from the main entryway near the sauna, large bathroom, bedroom, and kitchen, and look out into the woods after a lovely day of hiking, visiting beaches of incomparable beauty (and we live in California!), or any of the many other activities available in this paradise. To be honest, as much as my husband and I love the outdoors, we would find ourselves looking forward to getting back to our 'palace' at the end of each day.
The owner, Inge, was incredibly kind and generous, having gone out of her way to prepare the home and the additional log cabin, as well as the elegant dining room lodge (yes--all part of the package!) with gifts of welcome in both food and drink, which were not even part of the agreement. When we asked her about places to visit, she went out of her way to make sure we were able to find the places and get there, one of which was the beautiful beach at Langbathsee. We have never encountered such hospitality, which together with outstanding and unforgettable accomodations made our honeymoon here a magical retreat.
Our experience was so rich that we have kept in touch with Inge and her family since. You will not regret this stay! It was worth so much more than what we paid. Having stayed in many top-notch hotels in the United States, we have seen exquisite quality, but this is still our favorite.
