Holiday home Kobe in Krakow am See,
with bathing jetty and a proper place to work.

An honest answer: reviews take time. The house has been in the family, and I have known the lake since childhood. What you get in return: my direct number, a 30% deposit instead of full prepayment, free cancellation until 14 days before arrival, and no booking or service fees, because there is no platform in between. If something isn't right, call me. I answer myself.

Cancellation until 14 days before arrival: full refund, no discussion. 13 to 7 days before: 50% of the rental price. From 6 days before or no-show: 90%. Whatever the tier, call me. If I can re-let the dates, the fee is reduced accordingly, and we often find another date within the season together. That works because I make the decisions myself.

ICE high-speed train to Güstrow (station on the edge of town), 20 km away. From there, a taxi to Krakow costs about €35, or take bus 248 (approx. 45 min, €4–5). Locally you get around well by bike; rental bikes are available in the centre (no bikes provided at the house).

Yes, gladly. Phone and WhatsApp are listed on this page; I reply within 24 hours, usually much faster. I answer myself, no co-host, no agency.

Example calculation for a midsummer week, 2 adults + 2 children, 1 dog: rent for 7 nights €1,736, final cleaning included, bed linen and towels €0, electricity/water/heating/Wi-Fi €0, dog €70 (€10/night × 7), tourist tax payable locally (2 adults × 8 days of stay × €1.50) €24. Total: €1,830, all prices incl. 7% VAT. No booking or service fees are added, what you see here is what you pay. From the third guest over 12: €20 per person per night; children up to 12 free.

Self check-in via a key safe at the house. You receive the code by email 24 hours in advance. Arrive when it suits you, at 3 pm, at 10 pm, or after the traffic jam near Wittstock. Departure by 10 am.

Yes, both are included in the price, you don't need to bring anything. Electricity, water and heating are included as well.

Master bedroom: a 180 cm double bed with its own air conditioning. Children's room: a bunk bed for two children; under the European standard DIN EN 747-1 the top bunk is not suitable for children under 6. The office can optionally take an additional double bed, turning four beds into up to six. Maximum occupancy: four adults and two children.

Two car parking spaces right at the house, behind an electrically operated yard gate. You receive the gate code together with the key-safe code.

One dog is welcome by prior arrangement, €10 per night. Please keep it off the bed and the furniture. The garden is fully secured (electric gate, hedge and screening), a dog can roam freely.

Yes, the workspace is in bedroom 2, with a desk, an ergonomic office chair and a lockable door, not a repurposed dining table. The house has a fibre connection, the living area and master bedroom are air-conditioned (with doors open, the office too, only the bathroom is not), and the second-row location is quiet enough for video calls. Lunch break: two minutes to the jetty.

Yes, Wi-Fi is available throughout the house. You receive the access details together with the key-safe code 24 hours before arrival.

The town centre with bakery, café, supermarket and restaurant is 2.2 km away, a few minutes by car or bike, roughly half an hour on foot. First-hand recommendations: the restaurant “Zur alten Schmiede” (Ernst-Thälmann-Str. 16) and the “Waldhaus” (Am Borgwall 12). The house folder lists three more, two of which only locals know.

The jetty is shared by several neighbouring owners; the house holds a co-ownership share which you may use as a guest. It is a bathing jetty only: swimming, sunbathing and lingering, yes. Boats cannot be moored or stored at the jetty, and there is no berth. If you would like to paddle: the KAYAKOMAT self-service kayak rental at the campsite (Windfang 1) is about 50 m from the house, and there are further rentals in the village.

A 30% deposit within 7 days of booking, the balance no later than 30 days before arrival. Cancellation until 14 days before arrival: full refund; until 7 days before arrival: 50%; after that, 90% of the rental price is due. If I can re-let the period, the fee is reduced accordingly.

A high chair and a travel cot are available. The bunk bed in the second bedroom sleeps two children; the upper bunk is suitable for children aged 6 and over (DIN EN 747-1).

Just contact me by phone or WhatsApp. I will post anything you left behind if you cover the postage.

Teal days are free and bookable, sand-coloured struck-through days are taken, grey days are in the past. The data comes straight from the booking system, the booking calendar in the Prices section is binding.

Please report it right away, ideally during your stay, then it can be settled before departure. Normal signs of use are not a problem.

No. Outdoor cameras cover the gate, the parking spaces, the terrace and the garden. They do not cover any interior room. They only record when the burglar alarm is triggered, and that alarm is switched off during your stay — so no camera is running while you are here. Footage from an alarm event is deleted automatically after 72 hours and reviewed only in case of damage (Art. 6 (1) (f) GDPR).
