About this property
Cozy vacation home with a sunny terrace in the Frankenwald near a swimming lake / Smart TV
This small holiday cottage is located in a quiet “holiday park” on the outskirts of the medieval town of Lichtenberg in the Franconian Forest. It is a well-equipped holiday home where up to 4–5 people can comfortably enjoy their stay. The house, complete with a garden, is situated in a quiet residential area where some neighbors live year-round, while others stay here during the holiday season.
The sunny, landscaped south-facing terrace features a round garden dining table and a retractable awning. Take a nap on one of our two garden loungers or use our grill. On the north side, if fruit is available, feel free to help yourself to apples and plums from the trees.
On the ground floor is the cosy living area, newly furnished in 2020, featuring a sleeper sofa, two armchairs, a coffee table, and a dining table that seats up to 4 people. The living area features a satellite TV with the latest SMART TV technology and a CD radio, and if needed, the modern heat-storage stoves can also be turned on here.
The adjacent, simply furnished kitchenette includes a refrigerator, sink, coffee maker, electric kettle, microwave, two hot plates, and the usual dishes, etc. A shower room/toilet leads off from the small hallway with a storage area. A narrow, space-saving staircase leads upstairs from the living area and is secured at the top with a child safety gate. The bedroom with a double bed (XX) and the slightly smaller children’s room with two single beds (each 80x190 cm) are thus located on the upper floor. There is a chest of drawers there, as well as closets built into the sloped ceiling for your clothes.
The 450-square-meter property is not fenced in, so dogs cannot run around freely. Unfortunately, smoking inside the house is not permitted. Wi-Fi/Internet and a nearby parking spot are available!
Charcoal for your first barbecue, as well as toilet paper and paper towels for the first few days, are provided. A small selection of tea, spices, sugar cubes, and coffee filters is provided.
> About the Town and Location The small medieval town of Lichtenberg, the oldest town in the Hof district (town rights since 1337) and one of the smallest towns in Germany. The picturesque old town is directly adjacent to the ruins of Lichtenberg Castle. Located in the Franconian Forest, the town is surrounded by mixed forests, ponds, and a hilly meadow landscape—thanks to the excellent hiking network, you can explore this stunning landscape on your hikes. But there’s no shortage of festivals here in Upper Franconia either—whether it’s the meadow and fishing festivals or the regionally popular Medieval Castle Festival in Lichtenberg, all attract visitors from far and wide. Our town is home to the Haus Marteau International Music Centre, featuring its modern concert hall, newly opened in 2021. There’s also a visitor mine and a number of mostly excellent Franconian taverns and restaurants.
About 700 metres from your Spitzhaus is the Frankenwald swimming lake, redesigned in 2021 and nestled in the countryside, and one of the beautiful hiking trails leading into the wild and romantic Höllental valley begins very nearby. But there’s also plenty to explore in the surrounding towns—for example, in Bad Steben, there’s a thermal spa with indoor and outdoor pools, a spa garden, and a casino.

Der Urlaub war sehr ruhig. Das Haus klein und gemütlich und sauber. Der Kontakt zum Vermieter sehr gut. Der Park war ebenfalls sauber. Leider war der Badesee kleiner als gedacht und in der näheren Umgebung ist es sehr sehr ruhig. Mit Tagestouren kann man den Urlaub gut aufpeppeln.
Das Ferienhaus mit seinen zwei Schlafzimmern, Wohnessbereich, Bad mit WC waren sauber und gemütlich eingerichtet. Im Bad
war Toilettenpapier und Seife vorhanden. In der Küche waren auch die Notwendigsten Dinge vorhanden. Teller, Töpfe und Besteck sowie Salz, Zucker und Kaffee waren auch vorhanden. Allerdings ist die Küche wirklich so klein daß man sich schwer tut zu zweit den Abwasch zu meistern. Dafür kommt man auf der Terrasse und dem schönen großen Garten zu Ruhe. Ein Grill und Kohle standen auch bereit.
Alles in allem war es eine schöne Zeit und wir werden es wenn möglich wiederholen.
Sehr ruhig gelegen. Für uns ( 62 Jahre) sehr schön. Ein typisches Spitzdachhaus. Wir kommen damit zurecht. Alles da was man braucht. Freundliche Dame bei der Schlüsselübergabe und Endabnahme. Bitte unbedingt die äußerst korrekte Beschreibung des Vermieters lesen. Schlafzimmer oben und über sehr steile Treppe zu erreichen. Toilette unten, kann Nachts problematisch sein. Küche durch Gegebenheiten sehr eng. Für uns in Ordnung, kennen wir. In der Umgebung ist es sehr schön und wirklich viel Schönes zu sehen. Man sollte jedoch gut zu Fuß sein und Radfahren nur mit entsprechenden Rädern und genügend Kondition. Der Vermieter ist gelegentlich in der Nähe und sehr sympathisch. Für uns ein gelungener Urlaub.
Das Ferienhaus ist ein guter Ort um zur Ruhe zu kommen. Wandern, Baden, Kultur, alles ist möglich. Dies wurde uns auch vom Vermieter ganz freundlich empfohlen.
Das Ferienhaus selbst ist mit allem Notwendigen Ausgestattet. Kurz gesagt, haben wir hier einen sehr schönen Urlaub verbracht.
