🌲 A getaway at the Externsteine—arrive, breathe a sigh of relief, and simply enjoy
Imagine this: You arrive, park right next to your private terrace, and don’t have to lug your suitcases far. You open the door to a lovingly furnished 80-m² holiday apartment—and your holiday begins right away.
The smell of freshly baked bread fills the air, a complimentary welcome drink awaits you in the fridge, and while the kids may already be curiously exploring the apartment, you can finally take a deep breath.
Plus: your own outdoor area, a 4 × 6 m communal pool, a fully equipped kitchen, plenty of extras for families and dogs, and the famous Externsteine within walking distance.
Welcome to our “Getaway at the Externsteine” ❤️🌲
We’ve furnished our holiday rental just the way we’d like to spend our own holidays: cosy, practical, and modern. It’s family-friendly and includes many little touches that are often missing on holiday.
Our goal is simple:
We want you to arrive, unpack, and feel right at home.
🏡 80 m² for your getaway
Our holiday rental offers plenty of space for families, couples, friends, and guests with dogs.
You’ll have access to:
• 1 cosy double bed
• 2 single beds
• 2 sofa beds—suitable for people up to about 1.65 m tall
• Living and dining area
• TV, books, games, and toys
🌿 Private terrace & parking right outside the door
You can park right next to your private terrace—especially convenient with small children, a dog, or lots of luggage.
On the terrace, you can relax, eat together, or simply enjoy the peace and quiet.
💦 The covered pool – 4 × 6 m
Our heated 4 × 6 m pool is generally available to our guests year-round and can be heated to up to 31 °C.
☀️ May through September
Please allow 3 days’ notice to reach your desired pool temperature. On sunny days, we’ll heat the pool free of charge. If additional heating is required, it’s available for an extra charge according to our pool temperature chart.
🍂 Autumn & Winter
A particularly affordable seasonal rate applies from September 28 through April 30. Pool heating and use are available during this period upon request and subject to weather conditions.
In the event of very low outdoor temperatures or frost, the pool heating cannot be operated for technical reasons. A specific water temperature—in particular, 31 °C—cannot therefore be guaranteed.
Please let us know at least 5 days before your arrival if you would like to use the pool. Private use is available upon request. Once the heater is turned on, it may take a while for the desired temperature to be reached.

One of the best things about our location? You can leave your car behind.
The famous Externsteine are within walking distance of our holiday rental.
Have you heard of the “Witches’ Circle,” or have you ever been up on the Externsteine?
You’re surrounded by nature and at the same time close to numerous attractions in the Teutoburg Forest.Whether it’s a hike, a family outing, a bike ride, a walk with the dog, or a relaxing day at the holiday rental—here you can spend your holiday in all sorts of ways.
❤️ Why we’ve furnished our holiday rental this way
We don’t want this to be just another holiday rental where you’re handed a key and left to fend for yourselves.
We want you to feel welcome.
That you’ll be happy when you open the door.
That the kids will find something to play with right away.
That the dog gets his bed.
That you can enjoy your morning coffee just the way you like it.
That the pool is waiting for you after a hike.
That you have plenty of options even when the weather is bad.
And that when you leave, you’ll think:
“We could have stayed here a few more days.” ❤️
Not just a place to stay.
But a place to arrive, take a deep breath, and enjoy yourself.
❤️ And then your getaway begins …
Imagine:
The kids are playing happily in the garden while you sit back and relax on the patio. 🌿
Your dog rests its head on your lap and savours the peace and quiet. 🐕❤️
The sun is shining, a freshly brewed cappuccino sits in front of you, and for a moment, you simply don’t have to go anywhere.
Maybe you just visited the Externsteine, went for a hike, or splashed around in the pool together. Or maybe today you’re just doing absolutely nothing.
Just sitting.
Talking.
Laughing.
Enjoying the sun.
And that’s exactly what your getaway is for. 🌲❤️
A holiday rental where the little things have been taken care of.
A place where the kids feel right at home.
A place where your dog is welcome, too.
And a temporary home where you can simply leave everyday life behind.
So: Pack your bags, arrive, and start your getaway at the Externsteine.
We look forward to seeing you!
Andreas, Toni & Lara ❤️
