Close to cross-country skiing, birdwatching, and more, this pet-friendly vacation home brings it all within reach. Rothaar Mountains Nature Park is just a short walk away, so you can leave your car at the property, which offers onsite parking, or jump in your vehicle to make short work of the 12-minute drive to Diemelsee Nature Park.

After you return to this 1829.9-sq-ft vacation home, unwind in the garden or sip a drink on the deck or patio. For a change of scenery, come inside and enjoy the free WiFi and cable/satellite TV.

A living room, a sofa bed, a fireplace, and a desk are featured at this 4-bedroom, 2.5-bathroom rental. The kitchen is equipped with an oven, a stovetop, and a refrigerator, as well as a coffee maker, cookware, and a toaster. And you won't have to pack extra clothes, because you'll have a washer and dryer, too.
