Hüttenzauber Apartment in an idyllic, family-friendly forest cabin; dogs welcome

The perfect place for a relaxing vacation for families, friends, and hikers. The historic Biberach Forest House is located in the mountain village of Hundsbach at an elevation of 650 meters, right next to the Black Forest National Park between the wild and romantic Murg Valley and the Bühler wine-growing region near Baden-Baden. We have two unique vacation apartments in the house. The 86-square-meter vacation apartment, furnished in a cozy country house style, is located on the first floor of the lovingly renovated, historic former forester’s house. It is especially baby-friendly, and dogs are also welcome. The apartment features two bedrooms with double beds, plus an extra bed or crib available upon request. The living room features two large, cozy sofas and an LCD flat-screen TV with satellite channels; the kitchen is equipped with a four-burner stove, oven, dishwasher, large freezer compartment, microwave, blender, and all necessary utensils—including baking supplies and spices—as well as seating for 6 people including a high chair, and a large bathroom with a shower and corner bathtub (“Hüttenzauber”) or just a shower (“Eulenest”). There are plenty of wooden toys for the little ones and board games for the older kids. The rooms are furnished in a country-style and feature hardwood floors or high-quality tile flooring. Towels and bed linens are provided free of charge. The apartments are suitable for up to 4–6 people, such as two families with a total of 2–3 children. We also have a second vacation apartment on the top floor of the house—very modern and chic—which you can find under “Eulennest”(dogs are not allowed there). Our sauna is available in the basement. An eco-friendly pellet-fired central heating system provides cozy warmth, and a solar panel system on the roof generates the electricity the house needs. We have two friendly dogs and two cats. In the natural garden, there’s plenty of space for children to run around (including a trampoline), as well as a terrace and shady spots for relaxing or barbecuing. In the immediate vicinity, you’ll find endless forests, two wild and romantic streams, a beautiful playground, a soccer field, and a toboggan run. Wi-Fi is available, though it’s not the fastest yet.<br><br>The Black Forest National Park, established in 2014, is right nearby and offers endless opportunities to explore nature, including free guided hikes organized by the national park. The Mehliskopf amusement park, 7 km away, features a high ropes course, a summer toboggan run, an adventure playground, and more. Day trips to Baden-Baden (25 km), Strasbourg (70 km), or Europapark (70 km) are ideal. Nearby nature trails such as the Lothar Trail, Wilderness Trail, and Lynx Trail (10–15 km), the Treetop Walk (40 km), and several waterfalls (20 km) are also well-suited for young children. In case of bad weather, the Panoramabad Freudenstadt (30 km), a family-friendly pool, and the thermal baths in Baden-Baden (25 km) are great places to spend some time. Ski slopes with snow cannons and cross-country ski trails are located 7 to 15 km away.<br><br>Several short excursions—for example, to the Geroldsau Waterfalls, the Allerheiligen monastery ruins with waterfalls, the Murggarten in Forbach, the Bermersbach Goat Trail, and Mummelsee with Hornisgrinde—are also ideal for families with young children. From the house itself, it’s just 800 m to the national park. Beautiful hikes are also possible directly from the house, for example, to Schurmsee (Seensteig), Ochsenstall, Untersmatt, Mummelsee, or the Schwarzenbach Dam.
