Your vacation rental Gerberhäusle - Schwarzwald - the history worth knowing
This unusual vacation house is a half-timbered house of 1783 located quietly in the old town of Alpirsbach by murmuring waters of Kinzig river. It stands under monumental protection and has been recently lovingly restored by hand. Only natural building materials have been used to the preservation of structural fabric. All the floors are wooden or from natural stone. Both wood-panelled and half-timbered walls, as well as a coffered ceiling in the living room create a cosy atmosphere of a landmarked building. Almost all pieces of furniture in the apartment are handmade and unique. ‘Each time when I enter the Gerberhaus, I feel it is steeped in history. I feel like I am in the old Black Forest times of rustic traditions, in the town of timber rafting and tanneries. Its uniqueness is incredibly noticeable by a guest of this extraordinary accommodation.’Facilities

Reviews
Feedback from our vacation guests about the historic vacation home Gerberhaus
„We enjoyed a lot stay in your vacation rental historic Gerberhouse“
Andre K. from Paris
All was perfect, starting with the friendly welcome and the house tour. The house was perfectly clean and you get all you need in the vacation home. It is a comforable house complettly made from wood in a chalet style with a romatic fire oven. Die Beds are very comfortable too and the area is very quiet so you can relax and sleep well at night. The ducks in the close by river will welcome you in the morning and you will have a nice start in the day. The sauna is very nice in the garden and a ideal place to relax after a day full of sightseeing.
„Cosy Black forest vacation home with a lot of athmosphere and nice fire oven“

We had in your great historic vacation home a great week in autumn. The vacation home is very cosy with a lot of personality. It was very clean and very stylish and with a lot nice details equipped. Nearly each evening we enjoyed the sauna and later on we very enjoying the cosy living room with its fireplace. In town we were going out for dinner in the evenings and made long walks with our dog.
