Pet-friendly holiday rentals in Saale-Orla-Kreis

For our annual family reunion with six adults and one child, Lucia's cottage was perfect. There was everything we needed and we felt very comfortable. The kitchen is very well equipped. There are plenty of excursion options in the surrounding area. Kulmbach is not far away, Bayreuth is also easily accessible. A special highlight for us was a visit to Lucia's nearby farm with just born adorable little calves.

We really liked the place! The cottage was even bigger than it looks in the photos and we felt totally comfortable. The surroundings are very nice too, with lots of lakes and a cute seafront promenade. Love to come back! :)

I loved the place and exactly what was promised was fulfilled. I needed a break from the noisy everyday life and had therefore explicitly searched for quiet accommodations and landed an absolute hit with this house. Everything was quiet and clean and I had a fantastic time!

The hostess was super nice and often sought personal contact, which we really liked. She was practically always available to us for questions or similar. The house is exceptionally well equipped for a vacation home with everything the family needs. The location is very quiet and therefore we were able to relax well. Definitely recommended!

We had a very relaxing time at Svenja & Alex's place. The house is very cozy, the garden and balcony wonderful for sunbathing and the magnificent nature around it invites you to long hikes. Our two small dogs were also very enthusiastic. Communication was impeccable - Alex and Svenja were quick to help us if we had any questions. We highly recommend the house and would be happy to come back. Thank you for everything!

Sabine made our Christmas in Germany unforgettable. From the start, she welcomed us with warmth, kindness, and incredible attention to detail. She thoughtfully assigned rooms for our large group and arranged the furniture to ensure everyone felt comfortable and at home. Even though we arrived early, Sabine greeted us with her son, giving us a warm, heartfelt welcome. She provided a detailed tour of the house, patiently explaining everything and answering our questions. To make our holiday special, Sabine decorated every room with glowing Christmas decorations and left thoughtful treats—candy, beer, and wine. Her generosity brought tears to my eyes, and we began our trip with laughter, hugs, and a deep sense of care. Meeting Sabine and her son was the highlight of our trip. We’re so grateful for her thoughtfulness, warmth, and the love she put into making our holiday so memorable.

Very friendly host and a great place to stay. Great for short trips and hiking trips. The accommodation is a great mix of modern and old building. We highly recommend the place.

The three of us felt very comfortable here with a dog over a long weekend. There is everything you need in the kitchen. Even for a broken plate provided for replacement. The room layout is great and you don't sit on the pelle in a small space. The surroundings are very nice and quiet and the information and excursion tips are very good and helpful.

beautiful woodland view, ample space, friendly and responsive host, quiet and private, one feels like one's home

Anke and Frank are great hosts, human and knowledgeable

We had booked the place for a JGA with 13 people and were totally thrilled. The pictures don't even come across in the beginning, we are huge the house and also the garden. We had more than enough space to eat, get together and sleep. Since we had a chef in the group with us, the industrial kitchen could be used optimally. Again, there was no lack of amenities and cleanliness. The area offers enough opportunities for nice day trips and also a Rewe can be reached by car in 2 minutes. It was an all-round successful weekend, absolutely recommended!

Lovely place! We had a great time. Isa and her husband were great hosts.

The place was quite great and really relaxing. Andrea was a great and friendly host. The apartment is bigger than it can be seen in the pictures. The grounds are beautiful and especially recommended for spring and summer.

Beautiful quiet location, nice host, very large garden, great pool, shopping and excursion destinations easily accessible by car. The accommodation was exactly as described. We will be happy to come back.

The stay was really nice. The property is immersed in nature and has a lot to offer. Our highlights were the heated outdoor hot tub and the lower fireplace. When the weather is nice, you can hike wonderfully in the immediate vicinity, in bad weather the accommodation offers plenty of distraction. Highlighted is the protection of the property and the accommodation. I haven't felt so safe in any place so far. In addition, Manuela was very quick to respond to my messages and always a solution ready. Thanks for that!

We enjoyed the extended weekend at Lake Park Auenhain very much, we can highly recommend the house and the settlement, especially for families. After booking, we had contact directly with the reception of the lake park (by email and phone), very fast and uncomplicated communication. The house had everything you need, various things (e.g. cot, high chair, barbecue) could be booked. The house is close to the lake, only a 10-15 minute walk, all accessible. In the lake you can swim, it has playgrounds, a restaurant, etc. In the settlement itself there is also a restaurant, which we can highly recommend too! Since everything is in the countryside and close to the water, there are mosquitoes, most rooms had corresponding nets on the windows. If you want to inquire about possibilities in the settlement as well as in the area, just check the website of the settlement. Overall a very good value for money, we would book again anytime!

We were as a couple with a toddler for a week in Oberwellenborn and enjoyed the tranquility and seclusion very much. The apartment in a lovingly renovated farmhouse left nothing to be desired and thanks to the underfloor heating also no cold feet. Opposite there is a good restaurant where there are Thuringian dumplings, which we can only recommend. The new playground, alpacas and shopping nearby provided variety. We will be happy to come back and thank you for the hospitality!

Kind welcome Very centrally located

Great place to stay - very quiet and very clean - exactly what I needed. The hostess is also very helpful. Excellent

We really enjoyed our extended weekend in the great little cabin of Tobias! It is quaintly cozy and equipped with everything you need despite its (small) size. Thanks to great weather, we could have breakfast on the terrace with fresh rolls (delivered free from the host) and barbecue in the evening at the cozy fireplace. In the rainy evening Tobias was always quickly available and immediately on the spot if we needed anything. As a host, he is immediately likeable with his open warm nature. The surroundings invite you to enjoy nature and just switch off. Or if you like it more active, visiting the mine, the summer toboggan run and many other excursion destinations. All around exactly what we were looking for to escape the stress of everyday life for a weekend!

Everything fine what we missed is oven

We were a larger group of friends and the apartment was perfect for that. With the two bathrooms and the individual bedrooms, everyone had their retreat and yet we were able to spend great time together in the large living-dining area. Glad to come back!

Great place to stay where there is nothing lacking in a beautiful location. Communication with and flexibility of the host was great! We had a good time and would love to come back anytime - thank you for that! :)

We felt very comfortable with Ramona and Frank, the house is very cozy and we didn't miss anything. My feather allergy was responded to superbly and the contact was also very warm. We know Ilmenau quite well, but there was also a lot of information about the region and tips from the hosts. I especially like that everything is animal-friendly. We will be happy to come back! Thank you 🐶🐱
