Oma´s Ferienhäuschen was repeatedly brought up to modern standards with great attention to detail and a high financial outlay in the years after our family moved in in 1974, while never really changing the character of the house built in 1928. The last major renovation took place from June 2020 until May 2021.

The roof was completely renewed and brought to a new energy standard with 24cm on roof insulation. 

Together with the already existing intermediate gap insulation, we now come to a total of 34cm roof insulation. The upper floor / sleeping level was thermally insulated with up to 8cm coconut wool and thus already contributes massively to the reduction of the total energy demand. 


The floors in the upper floor was completely removed, newly insulated by another 10cm, before with OSB panels, impact sound and the newly installed brushed oak plank flooring was realized not only an allergy-friendly but also foot-warm floor. 

New textSelf-evidently, the entire house was completely repainted inside and out. 

No expense or effort was spared in the electrical / electronic realignment either: all rooms on the upper floor were equipped with LAN sockets, WLAN was re-localized in the central office of the house in order to have the best possible WLAN reception throughout the house. With the 50MBit line from Telekom, streaming is now possible throughout the house. 

During the last renovation, we also paid attention to the environment and the ecological footprint: Despite the unfavorable legal situation at the time of planning (05-2020), a 14 kWp - PV system was placed on the new roof, which now - May 2021 - primarily uses the generated electricity itself through a 9.8kWh battery. So you can sit for hours in the whirlpool without a bad conscience, because this now runs 100% with self-made (= good =,o)) Electricity. 

So now the share of the bought ( = bad =,o) ) Electricity even on overcast days to less than 5%. 

New Well, if the sauna comes into play, this calculation does not add up: But since you generate a total of just under 75 kWh on nice days, it's okay even if you use the saunaa times. In the overall balance, you still generate significantly more electricity than you consume there.

Currently still in planning (realization probably 09/10-2021) is the conversion of the so far pure gas heating to a solar operation with heating support. For this, the south side of the sauna house will be used for tube collectors, which will then not only produce hot water for showering and bathing in "abundance" (planned are 2 buffer tanks with together almost 1400l hot water), but also supply the heating circuit with hot water until gas becomes necessary as a supplement.

Also here we expect a saving of CO2 over the year of about 65-70%! 

As you can see: In the whole house - where at all possible - newest technology is brought to the employment, around pleasure, 

Relaxation and recreation not only CO2 neutral but also to enjoy in excess CO2.

The ambience of the interior is high quality, antique and extremely well maintained. These unique pieces were collected over decades and restored and treated with much love.

Please cherish them as well by treating the furniture with care. And if something should happen - let us know and we will look for the best and most cost-effective solution to return the furniture to its original condition. Since such things can be expensive for the restorer, we recommend that you take out liability insurance for such cases. 

Our employees have of course also been advised to look out for damage when moving out, and if necessary to document it. In this case, we would contact you afterwards and discuss the restoration.

House rules

the "fine print" - also as part of the rental agreement:

For whom is suitable Oma´s Ferienhäuschen:

For are very happy about our guests, however, some rules are also important to us, which, among other things, do not affect the neighborly coexistence.


Especially suitable is "Omas Ferienhäischen" for families with children (for allergic reasons for the next tenants unfortunately without pets) and all who enjoy nature and want to relax in it and escape once for a time from the "wild everyday life".


We are suitable for friends who want to spend a nice weekend together without having to think about going home in the evening. 


We are not suitable for groups of any size who want to celebrate, for example, a bachelor's farewell, "spring break", passed exams or "promotion" etc. intensively / excessively. 


So if you are looking for peace and relaxation, the barbecue with wine and candlelight - that then gladly with friends while respecting the neighborly concerns and rights (especially with regard to the night's rest from 22.00 clock) - then you are exactly right with us! =,o)

Pets

For allergic reasons, the vacation home is not approved for pets.

Not even if "Wautzi, Mitzi & Co." find their overnight camp outside the front door. 
Here, unfortunately, it is: "We have to stay outside!", whereby I am sorry especially as an absolute dog fan already. But with consideration of possible allergic reactions of the next tenants it must be unfortunately in such a way.


In case of violation, the tenancy will also be terminated without notice, the move out will be ordered immediately. A refund of already paid rent is not applicable, damages remain reserved.

Smoking

In "Omas Ferienhäuschen" smoking is only allowed outside!


The house itself, the garden house, the sauna and all other closed rooms are occupied with a smoking ban. In case of violation, the lease will be terminated immediately without notice and the move out will be ordered immediately. A refund of already paid rent is not applicable, damages are reserved.

Damage - existing and new

Of course, we all always take care of the things entrusted to us, but something can always happen / break.


In this respect, the friendly request to you in advance: If you notice a previously unnoticed damage / defect when you move in, please let us know immediately so that this (these) can immediately bring in order and also not falsely blame you. 


Should something break, please let us know as well.
Damages that are noticed after moving out will be repaired or newly purchased / replaced by specialized companies. You will be charged for the necessary time and repair work.


Please understand that especially in the case of extensive repairs, the time required to organize the repair will also be charged accordingly. 

If not already available, we recommend the conclusion of a liability insurance. 

Reporting form

We must also have you fill out this registration form, collect it and forward it to various authorities upon request. Authorities on request. 

We have provided you with this DSGVO-compliant registration form here for "download" (please still adapt to grandma's vacation cottage).


These registration forms are to be sent to us electronically or by post before arrival - DSGVO-compliant treatment (secure storage for 1 year after arrival, then destruction within 3 months) is assured. 
 


Should the registration form not be available by the time of arrival, access to "Omas Ferienhäuschen" can be denied. In this case, the same conditions apply as in the case of non-arrival (see also Cancellation Conditions - please insert the link here).


Access: The access / key transfer is contactless via a key safe with electronic number lock at the basement entrance.


When moving out, please lock all accesses again separately and then put the house key back there in this safe - thank you.

Cameras

The house is currently equipped with 2x 360° cameras from the company Axis and in operation around the clock. These cameras are pw-protected electronically connected to phone / iPad (exclusively). 


If you do not want camera surveillance during your stay, there is a "switch off" in the house to turn off the system. Please put the cameras back on when you are absent as well as when you move out.


We have no possibility from the outside to put the cameras in or out of operation - not+ least also to respect and protect your privacy. 

Fire alarm

n the house are currently 8 fire alarms (3x sheep rooms / 2 hallways, living and dining room, boiler room) installed, which we monitor via the Internet.


Please do not hang up / cover etc. these fire detectors!
