The location near the 'lava bomb' and the river Alf is unbeatable: so many hiking opportunities nearby. Moreover, where better to play jeu de boules than at the foot of this lava bomb!
The quiet environment is beneficial, the kindness of Dieter the key keeper made a very welcome feeling.
The cottage has been beautifully refurbished and conveniently equipped with everything necessary given the compact space downstairs. We missed a toilet in the upstairs bedrooms.
In Gielenfeld, the Schleunenkaffee with delicious Flammkuchen and the mini-golf diagonally opposite are highly recommended. Near the cottage it is nice to drink coffee in the Vulkanhaus.

There are 5 well-signposted hiking trails along the house. Information and routes of the walks are available in the cottage. Within walking distance are beautiful things to see such as the Lava Bombe, Strohner Schweiz and the Vulkanhaus.

A week of relaxation, that's what we were looking for. This worked out very well in Strohn and the surrounding area! From the former Jugendhaus we have made daily trips: nature and culture come together a short distance away. ...

A week of relaxation, that's what we were looking for. This worked out very well in Strohn and the surrounding area! From the former Jugendhaus we have made daily trips: nature and culture come together a short distance away. The house has large bedrooms, a nice shower and a fully equipped kitchen. For cold evenings there is the stove. We had a very nice week!

The cottage is a cozy base for all kinds of trips in the area. Almost around the corner is a river where we played almost every day with the children (building dams etc.). The manager is very nice and on arrival a bag of clean goods was ready. For example, there was also a clean cooking apron, these kinds of details gave a very nice welcome feeling.
The pizzeria in the village is run by a young Italian couple. When we were there (autumn holidays) it was quiet and we could have dinner with them, again nice people!

Lovely house with all the trimmings. Good base for hiking. Beds are fine, furnishing simple but nice. A whole series of magazines which was also a nice surprise. It really is a cottage to unwind. Good service from the key holde...

Lovely house with all the trimmings. Good base for hiking. Beds are fine, furnishing simple but nice. A whole series of magazines which was also a nice surprise. It really is a cottage to unwind. Good service from the key holder and 1 of the owners. Recommended.

Ideal base for a quiet holiday. There is a lot to do in the area. Although most of them do require transport by car.
The manager Dieter deserves a big compliment! We couldn't have wished for a better welcome and our children loved him.
The sofa in the living room is not very comfortable but the armchairs are wonderful.
In short, highly recommended!!

We - 2 couples - have spent the past week in the former Jugendhaus in Strohn and we liked it very much. Both the pleasant contacts - by email - with the owners and - in person - with the local 'manager' Dieter. Hospitality is of paramount importance to them and you notice that in everything. The house itself is almost perfect. It is equipped for 4 adults with all necessary facilities, fully furnished and a cozy atmosphere both outside and inside. The only - small - point of criticism is the aforementioned sofa in the living room; It's not really comfortable to sit on and if it would be my couch I would have replaced it a long time ago. But for the rest, nothing but praise; good beds/linens, furniture, shower, washer/dryer, etc. Oh yes; One more comment; It would be nice to also have an outdoor lamp so that you can also sit outside in the evening to play a game or read a book.
Furthermore, the village of Strohn is very charming and quiet. So quiet that we sometimes wondered if anyone lived there; You hardly saw any people/traffic. The surroundings are really beautiful, great for walking and cycling. There are also various nice sights and cities to visit within a radius of about 50 km.
As far as we are concerned, both the region and this accommodation are worth repeating; We had a great holiday there!

Despite the fact that we went back earlier due to family circumstances, we still had 3 nice days. Nicely stoked because it was very cold the first 2 days. Sophie
