A characterful holiday home in peaceful Schalkenmehren

Guests looking for a holiday home in Schalkenmehren often want more than a standard place to stay. St. Martin offers generous rooms, an easy layout and a holiday atmosphere inside the house. Built in 1866, it combines historic character with practical modern facilities.

Two living rooms allow different daily routines. Someone reading or working need not share the same space as children playing or guests watching television. The extra room is especially welcome for families and longer stays.

The conservatory is particularly pleasant in spring and autumn. Overlooking the garden, it provides a bright, sheltered place for breakfast, coffee or a break after a walk.

Practical facilities for a longer stay

The kitchen has a dishwasher, oven, ceramic hob, microwave, coffee maker, fridge with freezer compartment and enough tableware for a family or small group. The bathroom has a shower and washing machine, with a separate WC upstairs.

Fast Wi-Fi up to 250 Mbit/s, several televisions and parking add to the convenience, including for guests combining work with a holiday.

Why the village location matters

The house is peaceful without being isolated. There is no need to drive to start your day outdoors. The Schalkenmehrener Maar with its paths and viewpoints is a few minutes away on foot. Restaurants, a bakery, small shops and the village centre are within easy reach too.

Guests wishing to explore the Vulkaneifel region also benefit from this location. Many attractions suit a half-day trip without lengthy drives.

The house suits couples wanting more space, families and guests with dogs. It accommodates up to six people, with a main bedroom, children’s room with bunk beds and two living areas providing places to retreat.

Guests with dogs benefit from the space indoors and the enclosed garden, where dogs do not always need to be on a lead. Read more on our page about holidays with dogs in the Eifel, which describes the advantages for dog owners.

After a walk or swim, return to a house with room for wet jackets, shoes, bags and toys. These practical details help make a holiday relaxing.

Family-friendly in everyday use

Family-friendly means space for luggage, several sitting areas, a garden, a nearby playground and outings that do not always require getting into the car.

Divide the day into manageable outings: a morning by the maar, lunch at the house and an afternoon walk to the playground or along a circular trail.

Peaceful evenings at your own pace

End the day in the garden, sit in the conservatory or stroll through the village. The house supports a peaceful, unhurried break without a packed schedule.

The nearby water is a major advantage. The Schalkenmehrener Maar is close enough for a walk before breakfast or a lakeside visit in the evening, right in one of the villages that make the Vulkaneifel famous.

The Gemündener Maar and Weinfelder Maar are also within easy reach. Visit all three to discover their different landscapes. Our page about the surroundings of the Schalkenmehrener Maar explains the differences and suggests activities.

Walkers can set off in the village, choosing short loops or longer routes with viewpoints. Not every day needs to start with a drive.
