About this farm stay rental
Hidden away in the hills of the southern Black Forest, our historic house is surrounded by forest, meadow and extraordinary mountain views, with the distant Alps rising along the horizon on clear days. It is a wonderfully peaceful and private setting — secluded enough to feel completely removed from everyday life, yet surprisingly close to Basel, Badenweiler and the Swiss border.
The house has been carefully renovated to the highest standards, while retaining the character that makes an old Black Forest home so special. Inside, contemporary comforts sit alongside beautiful antiques, art and objects collected over many years. It is elegant without being formal, comfortable without being anonymous, and very much a real home rather than a purpose-built holiday rental.
There are two bedrooms, two bathrooms and a guest WC, as well as a charming sitting room, a large kitchen with an exceptional dining room, and generous outdoor space: two large private balconies overlooking the valley, where the views seem to go on forever.
Haus Krandel is a historic house, and there are two other small, completely independent apartments elsewhere in the building. Your accommodation occupies an entire half of the house, exclusively for you- nothing is shared.
You have your own private entrance, your own living spaces, your own bedrooms and bathrooms, your own balconies and your own outdoor areas. There is no shared kitchen, living room, bathroom or communal guest space.
The other apartments are separate and occupied by quiet neighbors, but they will not interfere with your stay. You can settle in, close your door, and enjoy the feeling of having your own house in the Black Forest.
It is an arrangement that gives you the space and atmosphere of a private home, without sacrificing the security and ease of having other people nearby.
A House with a View
The house looks out across one of those landscapes that makes you stop what you are doing.
The valley below is green and deeply wooded, changing character with the seasons and the weather. Beyond it, on clear days, the Alps appear on the horizon — a distant, almost theatrical backdrop to an otherwise wonderfully peaceful rural landscape.
The large balcony next to the dining room will be your outdoor living room.
Coffee in the morning. A book in the afternoon. An aperitif before dinner. A bottle of wine as the last light disappears behind the hills.
Beautifully Restored, Personally Furnished
The house has been renovated with great care, bringing modern comfort to a historic building without stripping away its personality.
This is my family’s vacation retreat, and we have filled it with things we genuinely love: antiques, art, old pieces with a history, and contemporary elements that sit happily beside them.
The result is deliberately eclectic — a little old, a little new, and very European.
It is a house intended to be lived in.
You will find beautiful things, but also comfortable places to put your feet up, linger over breakfast, cook something simple, or spend an evening doing nothing at all.
The Southern Black Forest at Your Door
For walkers and nature lovers, the location is exceptional.
The house is surrounded by the Black Forest, with hiking and walking routes leading through woods, meadows and mountain landscapes. You can leave the house on foot and immediately find yourself in nature.
Yet this is not the kind of remote location where you have to sacrifice everything else.
The spa town of Badenweiler is approximately 20 minutes away, with its thermal baths, restaurants and elegant old-world atmosphere. It makes an especially lovely outing after a morning in the forest: walk, swim, have lunch, and return home to your balcony overlooking the valley.
Basel, Art & Culture
One of the pleasures of this particular corner of the Black Forest is how perfectly it is located.
Basel is a short drive away, including Basel Airport, making the house unusually convenient for international visitors.
During Art Basel, the Basel jewelry fair and the city’s many exhibitions and cultural events, the house becomes an especially appealing alternative to staying in the city itself.
Spend the day surrounded by art, design and culture, then drive home through the countryside and find yourself back in complete silence.
Zurich Airport is approximately an hour away, giving you another convenient international gateway.
The French Alsace region, the Upper Rhine and Switzerland are all within easy reach, making this a wonderful base for exploring the remarkable cultural landscape where Germany, France and Switzerland meet.
For Those Who Appreciate a Certain Kind of Place
This house will particularly appeal to people who prefer character to uniformity and atmosphere to spectacle.
It is not a resort, a modern glass-and-steel villa, or a conventional country cottage.
It is a historic Black Forest home, thoughtfully restored and filled with art and antiques, in an exceptionally beautiful and private setting.
It is equally suited to a romantic escape, a week of hiking and swimming, a cultural trip to Basel, or simply a few days of doing very little.
Come for the forest.
Stay for the view.
And perhaps, as happens surprisingly often here, find that you don’t want to leave.

Without going into details, we missed our flight and ended up driving from UK to Black Forest and arrived at midnight... So, if you are thinking of staying in this area and are concerned about driving (at least from Basel airport) don't be! I didn't have any issues (other than being tired...)
The property is in a beautiful location with walks available from the front door. The local wildlife is lovely to behold - deer freely roaming, birds-of-prey soaring overhead.
The house itself is wonderful and full of character. There is a spacious veranda/decking area (with hammock!) to relax and enjoy the view. Even when the thunderstorms inevitably roll in, there are awnings that cover the veranda so you can stay comfortable and dry whilst watching the storms.
This was our first visit to Germany and The Black Forest and we thoroughly enjoyed it and would recommend the area and this property especially.

The property was located in a peaceful area and had lovely views. We loved seeing the wild deer who feed near the house. The cottage had almost everything that was needed. We were very grateful for the iron that was provided on request. However the availability of a washing machine would have been a huge benefit as we were travelling for several weeks from Australia. Katrina was very easy to communicate with and was helpful with all of our queries. She also provided really good information on places to enjoy in the area.

This is my third time at Krandel. It is pure joy to be here. Whether inside or outside, this place is magic. From coffee in the morning to wine in the evening, we almost never left the porch. The views over the fields, valleys and mountains are exceptional. It was especially charming to see two beautiful horses on the distant hill each morning. The peace and quite is so healing. The house itself is simply beautiful, like something out of a fairy tale. Comfortable, well appointed and charming. We created many memorable meals in the kitchen. The location, about 1/2 a mile from the center of the little village, creates a feeling of being away from the madding crowd yet near civilization. We walked the country roads every day. Yet you are close to excellent shopping and destinations for supplies, sightseeing and fun. Our favorite journey was our frequent meals at the Hirschen, an amazing country inn about 5 minutes away in Sallneck. We will return....again and again.

First, the house is located in one of the most beautiful settings one can imagine. The only comparable references I can think of is the lid of a jigsaw puzzle box or perhaps a creation by Walt Disney! It is stunning and breathtaking so if you are into walking or hiking or just being alone with your thoughts, this is the place for you. If you are into night life/activites, you will have definitely picked the wrong place!!! This home is located several miles down a forest road and about 1/2 mile to the nearest house which is in a little village of about 8-10 house (no stores/pubs,etc). It is on the edge of the Black Forest so plenty of places to walk or hike.
The house itself was very nice with plenty of amenities, beds were good, kitchen had plenty of utensils, pots, wine glasses, etc. The closest grocery store is in Schopfheim which is about a 15-20 minute drive but as an American, the store was wonderful (Heibers) with huge selections, fresh breads of all kinds with accompanying small restaurant and amazing prices on everything (cheap!) including a large wine selection. We were there during the month of October and the house was nice and warm. The only drawback (for us anyway) was that the casual seating was around a large/long beautiful wood table but no couch, etc. (one upholstered chair). The other drawback was no microwave for say heating up leftovers or for morning oatmeal but we made do with the electric tea pot in the morning but a microwave would have been a little more convenient. For such a secluded spot, we did get good internet reception even though slow but when you are in this type of spot, you should not be in a big hurry about anything!!
The town of Wieslet is about 10 minutes away and has a 'mill' which bakes bread and has other types of items such as cheeses, brats, nuts, etc. but not a grocery shopping place. We ate at two different small gasthaus/restaurants in Wieslet that were very good and we would reccommend both. Schopfheim has a number of places to eat and only another 5-10 minutes further.
If you are into seclusion and being in, really, one of the most picturesque places in the world (we were in Norway the previous year and it is certainly dramatic but this area does not take a backseat!), this is the place for you. Our stay was two weeks and its location for visiting Switzerland and France was great, and the castle at Lorrach (about 30 minutes) was super!! Frieburg also great!
