Comfort meets nature



The chalets? Five-star plus. Wooden facades on the outside, pure design on the inside. Minimalist, but warm. Sophisticated, but grounded. Large windows framing the landscape. This is where architecture meets nature. No glitter, no flash. Just calm. Space. Freedom. Those who want to combine the luxury of privacy with the charme of nature will find the Birkenhof to be the perfect retreat. A truly unique blend of luxury accommodation and down-to-earth farm life.


Pony riding for the little ones
And the surroundings? Authentic, joyful, full of heart. Ponies graze next door. Kids are welcome to feed them, pet them, help out. In the evenings, the fire pit crackles. Bread on a stick, flickering flames, glowing eyes. Running barefoot across the grass. Muddy hands. Pure happiness.


The in-house coffee roastery – for true coffee lovers
Grown-ups get their treats too: freshly roasted coffee, regional ingredients, spa moments right in the chalet. You can hike, bike, relax. And yes – even ski. There’s a lift nearby. When snow covers the hills, the Sauerland becomes a quiet little winter wonderland.


A variety of recreational activities: Something for every family member
The Birkenhof isn’t just a place to relax – it’s also a true recreational paradise for young and old alike. Children can enjoy numerous activities that will keep them entertained while connecting them to nature. From a petting zoo and a vast meadow for running around to trampolines and climbing frames – there’s always something happening. Kids can fully immerse themselves in nature and let off steam, while parents can take a moment to enjoy the landscape or sip a cup of freshly roasted coffee.

There’s a hiking trail that leads to the cow barn. Several playgrounds. Endless nature. And that wonderful sense of slowing down. No schedules, no pressure to entertain. Just space for children to be children. And for parents to breathe. To sip morning coffee on the terrace while their kids wander freely through the grass.
