A vacation cabin by the lake

In the mood for a holiday?

Then come visit our beautiful little ranch at the campground on Schönsee Lake in Urnshausen, Rhön.

Here you’ll find the A, B, and C of relaxation:

- Fishing (non-predatory and predatory fish)

- Swimming

- Camping.

The covered wagon with a teepee is just 30 metres from the swimming lake and is located near a pond at the edge of the forest. The swimming lake, fed by a spring, has the highest water quality according to the European Swimming Water Quality Directive, with a rating of 3 out of 3 possible stars. The canvas wagon accommodates 2 people and features a small kitchen with a sink, gas stove, coffee maker, and all necessary amenities, as well as a refrigerator. The teepee can also sleep 2 people or children on comfortable air mattresses. A bathroom is located nearby. The showers are 150 m away. The campground where the covered wagon is located features a snack bar and a very nice children’s playground. Parking is available right next to the property. Bedding can be rented for 6 euros per set. You must be 18 years old to make a reservation. We also offer stand-up paddleboard and barrel sauna rentals.
