This property is in the small town of Kaufering, just outside of the main part of town. We have a pretty old navigation system, but the address was still easy to find. The house sits in a picturesque location along the Lech next to a wood mill (literally next door) and is surrounded by a quiet, wooded area that makes you feel that you really did “get away from it all.”
We were greeted by Andreas, the very friendly owner who showed us around. This property is actually one large house split into 2 separate living spaces. The owner lives permanently on one side, though we would have never known since we didn’t hear or see a thing. There is a gravel driveway that leads up to the front door that leaves plenty of parking space.
The house itself was very clean and well kept, if a bit dated. The entire house has nice natural wood floors and stair cases. The stairs creaked loudly, but we didn’t find this to be too disturbing. The spacious kitchen and bathroom are located on the ground floor. The kitchen has a wood table where the family can dine, and it seemed that it was equipped with basic amenities (coffee maker, wine opener, etc.). Since we were only there one night, we didn’t look too much into it. The main bathroom was large with a shower, sink, toilet and washing machine. The shower cabin was a decent size and water pressure was good. Plenty of towels were provided.
The master bedroom and another full bath are one the first floor. The master bedroom has a king size bed and closet/dresser space for clothing, etc. The bed was comfortable to sleep in and the bedding kept us warm in the slightly chilly house. The bathroom features a tub with handheld shower head (no shower curtain or partition), sink and toilet.
Another climb up the stairs to the attic brings you to an open sleeping space that contains 1 double bed (pull out) and 2 singles with several nightstands. There is also a small flat-screen TV. It is light and airy at the top of the house. There is a very small nook to hang clothing but, no real place to store your belongings.
We were pleasantly surprised to discover that the house actually sleeps 6. According to the owner, his place often gets rented by families who are passing through the area and are only looking for a 1 – 3 night stay.
The overall feel of the house is cozy and welcoming. We were very happy with the accommodations and would definitely stay here again.
