Stylish castle house at Bertradaburg Castle

Close to cave exploring, birdwatching, and more, this smoke-free castle brings it all within reach. Jump into your car and make short work of the 12-minute drive to North Eifel Nature Park or the 17-minute drive to Adler und Wolfspark Kasselburg (and enjoy the property's convenient onsite parking in the meantime). If you're looking to expand your horizons and see other nearby locales, you can catch a train at Mürlenbach Station, a short 5-minute walk away.

Relax in the garden (enjoy the outdoor furniture!) or sip a drink on the deck or patio of this 1722-sq-ft castle. For a change of scenery, come inside and enjoy the free WiFi, cable/satellite TV, stereo, and DVD player.

This 3-bedroom, 3-bathroom rental features a BBQ grill and a fireplace. 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 an ice maker. And because there's a washer and dryer, you can go a bit lighter on your packing.
