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.’

Historical buildings with modern facilities

Historical equipment of this vacation rental steeped in history is harmoniously combined with modern holiday entitlements, such as free wireless Internet access and a handmade sauna.

A new installed central heating system (Dec 2019)gives modern living comfort in this historic building with a lot of history.

On its three floors, the house, totalling 110 m2, offers 2 bedrooms for up to 8 people. In the bedroom on the ground floor you can find 2 single beds, while on the top floor a double bed.

Children can also find a portable travel bed or a high chair. For our smallest guests we prepared a changing mat and a loo seat. Furthermore, a selection of books as well as board games for both adults and children is available. For more holiday comfort of our guests we situated the two bathrooms right next to the bedrooms. The bathroom on the ground floor contains a bathtub, a toilet and a washbasin. What is more, there is also a washing machine and a dryer. The bathroom on the top floor has a shower, a toilet, as well as a wooden washstand with a basin.
