About the Host

We discovered the idyllic village of Schalkenmehren rather by chance in 2024 during a camper trip – and instantly fell in love with its unique atmosphere in the heart of the Volcanic Eifel region.

A year later, we had the opportunity to purchase this charming holiday home and renovate it with great attention to detail. Since then, we’ve been delighted to offer our guests a place to relax, unwind, and feel at home.

As dog owners ourselves, we know how difficult it can be to find suitable accommodation – especially when traveling with more than one dog.
That’s why families with two or more dogs are also very welcome here.
