Quiet vacation apartment with wood-burning stove, sauna, garden & terrace on historic estate. Castle courtyard

Close to sledding, ice skating, and more, this family-friendly condo brings it all within reach. Bavarian Rhön Nature Park is just a short walk away, so you can leave your car at the property, which offers onsite parking, or jump in your vehicle to make short work of the 9-minute drive to Hessian Spessart Nature Park.

After you return to this 2153-sq-ft condo, unwind in the garden or sip a drink on the deck or patio, and don't forget about the outdoor furniture. For a change of scenery, come inside and try your hand at table tennis, or enjoy the free WiFi and cable/satellite TV.

This 5-bedroom, 4-bathroom rental features a sofa bed, a BBQ grill, and a desk. Bathroom amenities include a hair dryer, towels, and toilet paper. Prepare a home-cooked meal in the kitchen, complete with an oven, a stovetop, and a refrigerator, as well as a coffee maker, an electric kettle, and cookware. And because there's access to laundry facilities, you can go a bit lighter on your packing.
