Close to ice skating, rock climbing, and more, this smoke-free vacation home brings it all within reach. There's convenient onsite parking, so you can leave your vehicle behind and let your feet make short work of the 2-minute walk to St Gereon's Basilica or the 11-minute walk to Cologne Cathedral. If you're looking to expand your horizons and see other nearby locales, you can catch a train at either Cologne (QKL-Cologne Central Train Station), a short 12-minute walk away, or Hansaring Station, 13 minutes away.

As you settle into this 8-bedroom, 8-bathroom rental, you'll find a dining area, a safe, and a desk. Connect to the free WiFi, or get cozy in front of the cable/satellite TV. Bathroom amenities include a hair dryer, towels, and toilet paper. 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 cookware. And thanks to the washer and dryer, you'll even be able to travel light. Other amenities include bed sheets, an ironing board, housekeeping, and heating.
