Pet-friendly vacation 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 liked very much. She was practically always available for us with questions or similar. The house is above average well equipped for a cottage with everything the family needs. The location is very quiet and that's why 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.

We were two couples and one single person (who stayed in the cute and very cosy tiny house) and two small dogs. The house was super clean, very welcoming and was decorated and furnished in a wonderfully simple, lovely and functional way. Fabulously free of kitsch and fuss. Although it was relatively cool weather during our stay, we still made a lot of use of the spacious back verandah for long breakfasts and dinners. The BBQ worked well, but somehow we ran out of time to make use of the open fire place, so we'll just have to come back! The huge garden with a wide lawn and trees is delightfully green and the pretty strings of lights make the whole space look so magical even at night. The tiny house, complete with its own mini verandah and fairy lights is a perfect retreat for those who like to have a little privacy away from the main house. We loved staying here and went on lots of beautiful hikes in the nearby forests a short drive away.

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 stayed for two nights with a dog, in a room on the ground floor. And I want to say that we were completely satisfied, although sometimes we are picky about the property. Everything was great here. We really liked the bedding and the wide beds. The hosts left us gifts and it was very nice. We were also allowed to use the barbecue for free and given firewood. The yard is closed and, with the permission of the hosts, we sometimes let the dog walk there. I will also add that the village is very beautiful and it's nice to walk there.

Mathias is a very helpful and good host. His tips whether wellness etc. were great. The place was totally fine and exactly what we were looking for, just a quiet place to sleep and that in a pleasantly quiet location. We'd love to come back!

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! :)

Highly recommend it. We will be happy to come back if we are back in the area. Thank you so much for the loving design and generous amenities!
