A great house with lots of space and in a great location. We are a family of five and we found everything we needed. Cycling along the Rhine was enjoyable - we went a long way - and we spent enjoyable days in Cologne and Bonn. A trip to Aqualand was very successful. The house is definitely rustic but has everything needed and some of the previous reviews are very harsh indeed. The owner was very helpful and charming, making us feel very welcome. We would definitely return.

What you see is what you get. This is an old German farm house so you'd be well off not to expect luxury. Having said that, I grew up in Germany and enjoy this type of living. One of the previous reviews mentions all types of traffic and that the silverware is not matching. Really?? Yes, there is some storage that is rented out but definitely no offices. We stayed here for 11 days and I saw two separate folks come in during that time. Not too bad at all. And yes, if you have to have matching silverware, then this may not be your place to stay. One turn-off for us was all the spiders however. More should be done to ensure that spiders and spider webs are not in the house. My wife has a spider-phobia so I had quite a bit of work getting rid of what I could. Aside from this, the place was ok except for one MAJOR problem which I choose not to write about as I believe that the owners did not know about this; we did receive some money back to make up for the "inconvenience" as the owners felt very bad about this. This place is big enough to sleep 10+ which is great. However, there are only two 2-seater couches which are nice but small. If you like to stretch out and get comfortable, you'll be disappointed. The courtyard is awesome if the weather plays along; a BBQ and bicycles are at your disposal which is nice. The vicinity to the Rhine is fantastic. All in all, I'd give this place another chance if larger couches were in place. If not, I will certainly stay elsewhere next year. The owners are sincere and easy to get along with.

Need to seek compensation for extra expense we incurred to resolve the hiccup, which you already know about. Other than that, host was pleasant and helpful.

The owner has no idea about hospitality business she is trying to run. We stayed there with the dogs who damaged the arm rest of the couch, called the repair company, appraised the repair, paid the owner 400EUR to fix it. The owner charged cleaning fee and pet fee and then expects you to clean the house, otherwise writes nasty review. The house needs to be fixed before renting it out. Furniture is a joke, bed and closet made out of wood logs. Kitchen has no microwave, refrigerator is falling apart and way too small. In the bathrooms toilet seats are not secured. There is no two spoons or forks matching with knifes. Looks like they been collected at salvage place. All glasses are chipped and you can cut yourself. Washer and dryer cannot be run at the same time as house electric is very old and not safe. Towels and linens feel like cardboard. Everything in the house is from previous century. There is no privacy in the house as people constantly walking in and out because because other rooms are rented to local people for storage and offices.

We had a lovely time in this holiday home. The house is well equiped and very clean although a microwave would have been welcome. We were welcomed by the owner, who is very friendly and helpful. The house is situated in a quite residential area. We went to Köln and Bonn. We used the Stadtbahn into Köln which is very convenient, although finding a parking space near Zündorf station is difficult.

Certainly idyllic, friendly etc. Lack proper beds,bedding, microwave and bath towels like postage stamps, by far too small. Probably a rare occurrence but it was hot when we were there with no fans. Wi-fi excellent but only German channels on the tv, better take along some dvd's.
