Accommodation

The cabin full of stars, which we affectionately call the “Star Cabin,” is located right next to the Heidschnucken pasture. Here you can sleep soundly, cook a simple meal, and make yourselves comfortable…😊. The cabin stands in the meadow behind our farm, offering an unobstructed view of the countryside. There are also parking spots for our camper guests spread out across the large meadow.

The Star Cabin is more of a “glamping” accommodation than a vacation home and does not have a bathroom. A shower, toilets, and a large sink for washing dishes are located in the restroom building about 55 meters away, which is also used by our camping guests.

Our 400-year-old farm is located on the outskirts of Wachendorf, at the foot of the northern Eifel. Here you’ll find plenty of space on the large, grass-covered meadow, a campfire in the evening, a clay sauna, products from our Heidschnucken sheep, barbecue packages, and chilled drinks. We look forward to seeing you!

Amenities

The cabin is equipped with a spacious double bed and two sofa units (sleeping surfaces: 67x150 cm and 67x195 cm), which can be used as additional beds. Bedding and towels are included.

The cabin features a kitchenette with a 2-burner hotplate, a standard refrigerator, and a dining table, as well as basic kitchenware including pots and pans, a kettle, a cutting knife, cooking spoons, a selection of teas, a coffee pot (French press), dishes, glasses, and cutlery for 4 people. Fresh water and a sink are available in the restroom building, 55 m away. There is a 20-liter canister of drinking water in the cabin. (If anything is missing, please let us know; we live on the farm and can usually help.)

Outdoors & Fire Pit

On the large, freshly mowed lawn, all our guests gather together and socialize. You can lie in the sun, relax, play, and use the fire pit and grill. A table, chairs, and a lovely umbrella are available exclusively for you right next to the Star Cabin. A communal fire pit is located 15 m from the cabin. A wheelbarrow full of firewood is available for €15.

Sanitary Building

The restroom building is 55 m away. It features a very nice & spacious outdoor shower, naturally with cold & hot water and comfortable privacy screens, a large sink, and separate toilets with sinks for women and men. Additionally, an indoor shower with a unisex toilet is available in the courtyard building.

The clay sauna

We built our sauna ourselves; it is heated by a wood-burning stove. You can wonderfully enjoy the pleasant warmth radiating from the thick clay walls while looking out into the garden. We offer the sauna for a flat rate of €70 for exclusive use. This includes: wood for the fire, lighting and heating the sauna, as well as instruction on how to use it.

Food and Drink

The large refrigerator in the shed is stocked with cold beverages—from regional beer to Fritz-Schorle—available for self-service at reasonable prices.

We also offer products from our white-horned Heidschnuck sheep and other items for grilling. In cooperation with a small regional bakery, we provide a delivery service for fresh rolls.

About Us

We are sound chime makers, designers, and multi-craftsmen. For nearly 30 years, we have lived and worked here on the farmstead in the Eifel, a historic, listed half-timbered square farmstead whose oldest building is approximately 400 years old.

The Workshop & Store

The farm is home to our workshop for musically tuned chimes. Here, you can get a glimpse into the production of our handmade chimes and musical instruments.

Our Online Shop: www.bauerklangspiel.de

In the factory shop, you can play, try things out, and discover beautiful items. Our handmade chimes are available here with an exclusive factory discount; you’ll also find gongs and singing bowls, musical instruments from around the world, all sorts of items for playing and decorating, and our large, cozy “Sterne” collection.

The White Horned Heidschnucken

Our herd is outdoors all year round. By raising them, we make an important contribution to the preservation of traditional livestock. You can purchase sausages, meat, hides, and other products directly from us on-site. Upon request, we’ll be happy to send you a list of everything currently available.


Free cancellation up to 30 days before arrival. Or within 48 hours of booking, up to one day before arrival.
