Historic water tower, close to Eifel Nature Park, Phantasialand, Cologne, Bonn, hiking trails

Our whole family loved this place! We enjoyed our hosts immensely! And we spent alot of time in their enchanting garden. Our stay in the Historic Water Tower was beyond our expectations!

June 13th-17th 2025 Beautifully converted water tower over four floors. Living room, kitchen and main bathroom on the ground floor, bedroom with quality double sofa bed on the first floor, small bathroom and bedroom with double bed on the third floor, and large bedroom with double bed on the fourth floor. Lovely and cool inside even when the weather was hot (but with heating for if it got cold). Tastefully appointed with a mixture of modern furniture and more classic styles. Very clean and appointed with quality items, in particular, the kitchen which was very well stocked with cutlery, utensils and welcoming items like eggs (from the chickens), milk, wine, butter and popcorn :-) , etc. We could not find anything that we lacked. Added to that, there was a beautiful garden, with multiple sitting areas, and of course the chickens. The local area is made up of countryside (growing a lot of apples and pears) and villages and has plenty of places to visit and eat and drink and of course Bonn and Cologne are relatively close. Claus and Rüdiger were excellent hosts and put a lot of effort into making it a beautiful visit.

Perfect weekend We had a perfect stay at the Water tower. We went to Phantasialand, which is a 15 min drive from the location. The house was in perfect condition, clean and everything was taken care of, from towels, beds and even food and drinks. Thank you to the owners!

Phantastico We stopped here for 2 nights whilst visiting Phantasialand. Beautiful, Quirky, Unique but also very practical and complete accomodation. Would happily have stopped here for much longet

A lot of stairs in a rural setting This property is on four storeys with stairs between each and not within walking distance of any shops or cafes. If that's going to be a problem for you I'd not recommend this property. For us it was perfect. We were travelling by car and the property was perfectly located mid way between Cologne and Bonn. It was an easy drive to both cities. The house itself is beautifully fitted out and was more than comfortable for our family of two parents and three kids.

Amazing attention to detail ♥️ The property is just stunning, inside and out. Everything you could possibly need is thought about by the wonderful hosts. They provided some food essentials including vegan options which was perfect as my husband is Vegan. The rooms are well equipped, clean and decorated so beautifully. We had a wonderful time. 😀
