My wife and I arrived with my parents at the beautiful village of Traben-Trarbach and were immediately impressed with our delightful holiday rental and stunning surroundings. The owner greeted us with a warm welcome and a quick guide to the functions and facilities following our pre-arrival telephone call about 1 hour earlier. After we selected a couple of bottles of wine from the house's supply for our first evening the owner left and our holiday began. The house itself provides a period feel akin to the location and is very well maintained with a luxurious quality in all the newly renovated areas. The website pictures give you a good idea of the quality and also a feel of are areas of the house that are, work in progress, from a renovation point of view, but these are all still clean tidy and very functional. The village provides all you will require for a holiday, food shops (Large supermarket) is within 500m of the property but well hidden from your view. Other shops are within the town centre which is about 1km away. There's a wide choice of restaurants, cafes and bars, with the closest being about 20 paces from the front door! We travelled and visited many beautiful villages along the river, walked our dog along the footpaths of the nearby hills, ate out in the village, cooked our own meals in the well equipped kitchen of the house and spent many hours relaxing on the veranda drinking wine and freshly ground (supplied) cups of coffee. There is plenty of things to do in the nearby area for all ages and levels of fitness, the owner even supplied a couple of electric bikes. We spent a few hours using the well equipped gym. A good treadmill, exercise bike, multi-gym and free weights. I had the read in the description the house had these facilities but they were of a much better standard than I had expected. To finish off I should mention we bought our two dogs with us and they were very relaxed in the house and could wander freely around. The garden is brick paved, small but adequate for leg stretches etc. Those who prefer not to holiday with dogs can be happy the house does have wood and natural floorings and maintains no signs of previous dog occupation. We all loved our stay here and would definitely recommend the house to our friends, those looking to relax in the tranquil surrounds and also anyone seeking an active holiday with a luxurious base location. Final words, WE LOVED IT AND WILL BE RETURNING!

Good location on the river with a wonderful deck. (Be aware, the deck is not child safe for toddlers.). House has a lot of wasted space but does not easily accommodate large families. Poor layout. E-bikes provide and they are great. Owner is local but not very responsive.
