New, incredibly cozy vacation home in an old barn, near Lake Ellertshäuser

Our incredibly cozy "home away from home" for your getaway—feel free to visit us at www.ferienhaus-zur-alten-Scheune.de

Discover our charming vacation home, "Zur alten Scheune," located right next to the Ellertshäuser swimming lake!!
Your incredibly cozy and charming vacation home... lovingly converted by us from an old barn, awaits you in the heart of nature.
Thanks to the spacious sofa bed, two additional adults can sleep in the living room. That brings the total to 9 sleeping spots.

Surrounded by idyllic forests and wonderful hiking and biking trails, you’ll enjoy the perfect retreat. Ideally located between the Röhn, Spessart, Thuringian Forest, Steigerwald, and Franconian Switzerland.
The Ellertshäuser swimming lake is just a stone’s throw away!
Whether you’re traveling alone, as a couple, or with your family—your accommodations promise pure relaxation.

Here, you’ll experience the perfect blend of coziness and nature, with beautiful hiking and biking trails.

We built and designed our new, incredibly cozy vacation home ourselves with lots of love and passion in our old barn. The spacious terrace and the cozy, fenced-in garden are perfect for barbecuing and relaxing.
We offer you an unforgettable stay, far away from the stress of everyday life, and sweeten your breakfast with homemade honey from the neighboring farm, homemade jam, and fresh eggs from our happy chickens :)
A small neighborhood store with a bakery and butcher shop awaits our guests in the neighboring village.
For all mushroom lovers and foragers: During the fall months, our forests turn into a true mushroom paradise.
Our guests are welcome to join herb walks in the spring and mushroom walks in the fall.

Just like the Smurf Village, Reichmannshausen is nestled amid idyllic forests, surrounded by beautiful forest and hiking trails, in the heart of Lower Franconia, yet centrally located between the Röhn, Spessart, Franconian Switzerland, Thuringian Forest, and Steigerwald—making it the perfect base for varied day trips.
Here are a few suggestions:

* Our personal top pick is the beautiful “Ellertshäuser
Swimming Lake”—named the third most beautiful swimming lake in Franconia—which is just a stone’s throw away. It has
two gorgeous, partly newly landscaped large sunbathing areas
with a sandy beach section and many smaller coves
with separate piers, as well as a large playground.
The dining area, with plenty of cozy
seating in a pleasant atmosphere right on the shore
, invites you to linger and enjoy yourself.
A pedal boat rental is also available on site.
By bike or on foot along an idyllic forest path
, it’s only about 4 km to the first sunbathing area.
By car, you can reach the central, free
parking lot in about 7 km.

* An absolute must-see: The Schweinfurt Wildlife Park—named
the most beautiful wildlife park in Franconia!!
Beautiful and free admission!! About 15 minutes away by car
.

* For our younger guests, a visit to the
“Märchenwald Sambachshof” with lots of small
rides is well worth it—it’s about a 20-minute drive away.

* For older children, Freizeitland Geiselwind is about a 40-minute
drive away.

* You can also reach the treetop trail in the Steigerwald in about 40 minutes by car.

* There’s plenty to do on the “Wasserkuppe” in the Röhn in the summer, just as there is
in the winter. Whether it’s hiking,
sledding, skiing, or simply watching the paragliders
, there’s something for everyone.

* And since we’re in the Röhn region, a visit to
the Kreuzberg is a must.

* All around the area, there are many beautiful little towns, such as
Bamberg, Coburg, Würzburg, or Lichtenfels, with an
enchanting
old town and many castles, monasteries, and churches—like
Vierzehnheiligen.

* Countless beer gardens serving house-brewed beer and Franconian
specialties invite you to visit

* Since we’re located right between the Röhn, Spessart, Thuringian Forest,
Steigerwald, and Franconian Switzerland,
motorcyclists are, of course, also very welcome here.
You’ll get your money’s worth here with wonderful day trips.

We look forward to seeing you :)

Wir hatten das große Vergnügen, tatsächlich die allerersten Gäste in dieser wunderschönen Ferienwohnung sein zu dürfen – und wir können jetzt schon sagen: Besser hätte diese Premiere für uns gar nicht laufen können!Die Wohnung ist einfach wunderschön, modern und mit unglaublich viel Liebe zum Detail eingerichtet. Man kommt rein und fühlt sich sofort wohl. Alles wirkt hochwertig, durchdacht und gleichzeitig gemütlich – man merkt einfach, dass sich hier jemand wirklich Gedanken gemacht hat, damit sich die Gäste wohlfühlen.Ein ganz besonderes Highlight waren für uns als Familie natürlich die Möglichkeiten für die Kinder. Das große Wohnzimmer und der schöne Garten waren perfekt zum Spielen und Zeit als Familie zu verbringen. Und dann noch die Hühner direkt nebenan – für die Kinder natürlich ein absolutes Abenteuer und definitiv eines der Dinge, von denen zu Hause noch lange erzählt wird.Dazu kommt die wunderbar ruhige Lage. Kein Lärm, kein Trubel – einfach ankommen, durchatmen und die Ruhe genießen. Gerade mit Kindern ist es wirklich schön, wenn man nicht ständig das Gefühl haben muss, dass man irgendjemanden stört. Gleichzeitig ist die Wohnung auch sehr geschickt gelegen für kleine Tagesausflüge in die Region.Und dann sind da noch die Vermieter: unglaublich nett, herzlich und gastfreundlich!Wir haben uns von Anfang an sehr willkommen gefühlt. Besonders toll fanden wir, wie schnell auf Wünsche oder Fragen reagiert wurde.
