Parking space 1 at the Balkum farmhouse

(Basically, you can sit out in the countryside with us, watch the birds, trees, and clouds, wonder which rooster is crowing right now, and just relax. If you’re interested in plants, herbs, and nature itself, you’ve come to the right place.)

Since 2020, we’ve had the pleasure of welcoming guests and sharing the nature on our 1.2-hectare property with them.

Surrounded by a tall hedge, the natural orchard meadow offers two large spots for mobile homes of all kinds.

In the adjacent grove, even the hottest summer day can be enjoyed in the shade of the trees.

The house is about 75 meters away and features a 24/7 accessible restroom as well as a small area with a sink, refrigerator, coffee maker, stove, and a small shelf stocked with homemade goods and eggs.

Around the house, you’ll meet our three—not exactly small—notoriously cuddly dogs. However, they aren’t allowed on the meadow, so guests with dogs are also very welcome.

For lovely dog walks or other strolls through our lively farming community in Lower Saxony’s cultural landscape, we’ve created an access point at the end of the meadow.

Of course, both spots offer an electrical outlet. You can get drinking water “one tree over.” A solar shower allows you to cool off after long, hot days.

In our garden, we grow vegetables, fruit, salads, and herbs. We completely avoid chemical pesticides, instead relying on our ducks’ hearty appetites to keep slugs and their ilk at bay. For a small fee, we’d be happy to harvest something for you there together.

In addition to relaxing, reading, taking walks, and cuddling with the dogs, you can go geocaching, visit the heated outdoor pool in Ueffeln (about 2 km away) from May to September, drive to the textile town of Bramsche, or explore the Peace City of Osnabrück. The Alfsee, with its famous water ski facility, is also not far away. However, there is no public transportation.

For specific recommendations, including good restaurants or shopping options, please feel free to ask us!

We look forward to welcoming you. Since we all work or go to school, we can only welcome you during the week starting at 4 p.m. On weekends, we’re more flexible and can welcome you earlier. We therefore ask that you let us know in advance when you’ll be arriving so we can ensure someone is home.

Please plan your stay with us well in advance and book a few days ahead of time. Even though the system allows for same-day booking, we’d like to prepare for your visit and take any other commitments into account.
