Historic water tower, close to Eifel Nature Park, Phantasialand, Cologne, Bonn, hiking trails

This was absolutely the best rental we have ever stayed in! It exceeded all of our expectations. Not only was it pristine but it was fully stocked with anything we could possibly need. The garden was beautiful, even in winter. The hosts were kind, welcoming, and informative about their property and the surrounding areas. We found the home so romantic and are honestly sad to be leaving.

Amazing home. We (2 adults, 2 teens) loved our stay in the water tower. It was the most fully prepared and stocked Vrbo i have ever stayed in, and had a really cool folding bed in the sitting room. Loved the chickens, THE GARDEN, and all the thriving plants in every window. We were lucky to see the Queen of the Night cactus share her rare bloom. Claus and Roger were very responsive and offered great suggestions about options for exploration. Easy access to many interesting places. Would love to go back some day!

Our whole family loved this place! We enjoyed our hosts immensely! And we spent alot of time in their enchanting garden. Our stay in the Historic Water Tower was beyond our expectations!

Beautifully converted water tower over four floors. Living room, kitchen and main bathroom on the ground floor, bedroom with quality double sofa bed on the first floor, small bathroom and bedroom with double bed on the third floor, and large bedroom with double bed on the fourth floor. Lovely and cool inside even when the weather was hot (but with heating for if it got cold). Tastefully appointed with a mixture of modern furniture and more classic styles. Very clean and appointed with quality items, in particular, the kitchen which was very well stocked with cutlery, utensils and welcoming items like eggs (from the chickens), milk, wine, butter and popcorn :-) , etc. We could not find anything that we lacked. Added to that, there was a beautiful garden, with multiple sitting areas, and of course the chickens. The local area is made up of countryside (growing a lot of apples and pears) and villages and has plenty of places to visit and eat and drink and of course Bonn and Cologne are relatively close. Claus and Rüdiger were excellent hosts and put a lot of effort into making it a beautiful visit.
