Thatched roof room in Wischhafen

You'll find a kayak, bicycles, and more on site at this pet-friendly vacation home. Jump into your car and make short work of the 64-minute drive to Kiel Canal or the 39-minute drive to Altes Land Tourist Information Center (and enjoy the property's convenient covered onsite parking in the meantime).

After you return, 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 enjoy the WiFi and cable/satellite TV.

This 5-bedroom, 2-bathroom rental features a living room, a dining area, a BBQ grill, and a fireplace. Bathroom amenities include towels, toilet paper, and soap. Prepare a home-cooked meal in the kitchen, complete with an oven, a stovetop, and a refrigerator, as well as a coffee maker, a microwave, and cookware. And because there's a washer and dryer, you can go a bit lighter on your packing.
