Waldhaus Eifel 

The Waldhaus is a beautiful, family run hotel. My husband and I took our two young children (ages 5 & 3) to the Waldhaus this summer. Booking directly through their website was easy. I immediately received confirmation from Irene. The hotel is charming, efficient, and gorgeous. Our first day we fought jet lag by playing in the indoor pool and relaxing in the hot tub. The floor-to-ceiling wall of glass looked out onto a private, wooded area. Our balcony overlooked the woods and a herd of deer. Dinner was exceptional. We ate the best food of our entire stay while dining at the Waldhaus. The salads are works of art, the game is worth the trip across the Atlantic, and the kids had so many healthy and tasty options (including Zander fish). Desserts shouldn’t be missed. The hotel also has a really nice spa and a bowling alley. Breakfast is delicious with a variety of options and good coffee, tea and hot chocolate (in individual pots). Try the jams, breads, cheeses, meats, and boiled eggs, as well as the juices. Eifel Park is steps away and can easily fill the day(s). We also enjoyed country walks around the Waldhaus. If stationed in Germany, I highly recommend the Waldhaus for a weekend trip (coupled with Eifel Park, it’s its own destination), the start to your overseas trip, or a place for visiting relatives to stay. I lived here for months as a child and the Semrau Family has always made me, and now my own family, feel like the Waldhaus is a second home. My husband’s first visit to Europe was with me to the Waldhaus. He loves how the hotel is authentic and relaxing. Both he and our young children tell everyone that the Waldhaus was the best part of our recent family vacation. I couldn’t agree more. We will be back as soon as we can.
