Close to ice skating, rock climbing, and more, this family-friendly apartment brings it all within reach. Weser is just a short walk away, so you can leave your car at the property, which offers onsite parking, or jump in your vehicle to make the 14-minute drive to Solling-Vogler Nature Park.

After you return, unwind in the garden or sip a drink on the deck or patio, and don't forget about the outdoor furniture. When you come inside, connect to the free WiFi or get cozy in front of the cable/satellite TV (video library available). There's also a pool table, a DVD player, and a stereo for your enjoyment.

As you settle into this 5-bedroom, 2.5-bathroom rental, you'll find a BBQ grill, a fireplace, air conditioning, and a desk. Bathroom amenities include 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, an electric kettle, and an ice maker. And because there's access to laundry facilities, you can go a bit lighter on your packing.
