In 2022 and 2023, we completely renovated the Schleiferei II industrial monument, which now houses a total of six separate, modern holiday apartments. When designing, we followed the maxim of identifying and developing the particular charm of the historic building. Visible screet floors, raw masonry walls and exposed steel structural elements could thus be combined to create a harmonious overall impression. This is complemented by furniture that consist of a combination of vintage elements and modern design. For example, table tops were made from historic roof beams and combined with contemporary steel elements, beds were manufactured according to our own designs and juxtaposed with timeless design classics. The individual lighting concept highlights the particular features of each individual apartment.
The spacious apartment #4, “Forest” is located on the upper floor of Schleiferei II. From here you have a beautiful view of the river Sieber and of the forest. The apartment is furnished modern and to a high standard, its character is defined by high-rise rooms and visible steel beams.
The 85m2 large apartment consists of two bedrooms, a combined living, dining and kitchen area and a bathroom with a shower. The kitchen is fully equipped and offers best conditions for ambitious cooking. The apartment is accessible via an external staircase. A storage room for bicycles can be shared on request.
The apartment is ideal for a family stay, even with a dog. The location on the upper floor offers both an ideal retreat and a wonderful view of the lively Harz Mountains. The sound of the river Sieber and the forest is omnipresent here. In the beautiful communal garden, sunlit outdoor seating and the large sandpit invite you to relax in nature. The accommodation can also be used as a cozy base camp for trips into the wonderful nature of the Harz Mountains - and of course as a place for a relaxing break...
The apartment is designed for four people (basic price). An extra bed for children up to 12 years of age is available at an additional cost, a baby cot is available free of charge upon request. The apartment can be combined with the neighboring apartment #3, “Sky” via the common entrance area and thus also offer privacy for larger families or groups. One dog is allowed upon request, other pets are not allowed.
Ideal for your next family vacation with a dog - book your break now!
A gem that was well worth a visit. Nestled in a beautiful environment the minimalist style of the apartment really spoke to us. Hartmut was a great host that we can recommend without hesitation.
We had a very nice time! Friederike and Hartmut are lovely hosts. We also particularly liked the direct location near the forest and by the river! (Translated from German)
Beautifully restored industrial property, easy and quick communication with owners, personal welcome. And the rippling sieve has a calming effect. (Translated from Dutch)
We had a really lovely weekend in this great apartment! We received a very warm welcome and there was nothing missing! The accommodation is still very new and modern, furnished with great attention to detail and it was very clean! It is also in a quiet location and an ideal starting point for hikes, for example. Great recommendation, we would love to come back! 😊 (Translated from German)
A very beautifully designed old industrial monument with lovely details and a large property for general use. We had the two apartments on the upper floor next to each other, which was perfect for a larger group. The hosts were very nice and committed. We can recommend the accommodation without reservation and will definitely come back. (Translated from German)
Great accommodation and with great hosts! There is nothing missing here to spend a few relaxing days in the Harz Mountains. We would love to come back again. (Translated from German)
Simply wonderful with 🐕 for Harz hikes. The weather was perfect, and the landlords put their heart and soul into their property. We used the well equipped kitchen a lot, especially since there are few restaurants within walking distance 😉 (Translated from German)
We really had a wonderful long weekend at Hartmut and Friederikes apartment. The slogan "Take a Break!" fits perfectly. Located in the middle of the valley with a great view and next to a whispering stream, you can forget the stress of everyday life really quickly. Definitely 5 stars, we would love to come back!!! (Translated from German)
Very tasteful and comfortable apartment. You can go hiking in the Harz Mountains from the apartment. Also many other hiking tours are within a short distance. Stores and restaurants are 10 minutes away by car. Very pleasant owners who make you feel at home. We definitely come here more often. (Translated from Durch)
Fantastic apartment in a great environment! The apartment is not only very stylish but also spacious and super clean. We felt very comfortable with 4 adults, 1 baby, and 1 dog! There are so many hiking trails right outside the door, which was also super convenient for us. Friederike and Hartmut were totally nice and always helpful. We will definitely come back more often :-) (Translated from German)
We had a wonderful weekend in an absolutely fantastic accommodation! It was very spacious, had two equivalent bedrooms with comfortable beds and cozy blankets. It was very clean and lovingly & stylishly furnished. Everything exactly as in the photos. The kitchen equipment is phenomenal: espresso machine and otherwise everything that belongs in a fully equipped kitchen! We started hiking directly from the accommodation and enjoyed the surroundings very much. The contact with Friederike was uncomplicated and very pleasant. She always responded quickly and fulfilled every wish ♥️ Highly recommended! (Translated from German)
In one word: superb! The factory has been renovated with great care and love for the building and its surroundings. Apartment #4 Wald is wonderfully bright, well and very comfortably furnished. The area is beautiful and wonderfully quiet. Everything is super clean, and nothing is missing. We can only recommend it. If we decide to go to the Harz again, we will undoubtedly book here again. (Translated from German)
We (2 friendly couples) were looking for a nice modern accommodation with a quiet location in the Harz, and that's exactly what we found with this place. The hosts were super nice, accommodating, helpful, and made us feel welcome from the very first moment. The accommodation itself left nothing to be desired and is furnished with great thought and attention to detail. We can only highly recommend it; there was nothing to complain about. Happy to come back in the future! (Translated from German)
The welcome from Friederike and Hartmut was extremely warm, and one felt immediately welcome. The accommodation was located between Herzberg am Harz and Sieber. It is evident that Friederike and Hartmut have built the accommodation with a lot of effort and heart. It is very modern, situated quietly along a small stream, and surrounded by mountains; one feels comfortable immediately. The two hosts accommodated individual requests and provided good recommendations for shopping, restaurants, and excursion possibilities. During check-out, they didn't rush us and personally see us off. Absolutely recommendable and worth more than five stars! We will be back! (Translated from German)
Wow! These are fantastic holiday apartments in the Harz! Anyone spending their vacation or a (extended) weekend here in the Harz is in great hands: beautiful, spacious, modern apartments, very tastefully designed, everything, especially the kitchen, is very well equipped, with many well-thought-through and loving details. Good location for various activities in the region (hiking, cycling, visiting cultural heritage sites, restaurants...). The host and builder Hartmut, an architect by profession, together with his wife Friederike, has developed and designed this gem very lovingly and intelligently. If you have the chance to speak with him or her, you'll learn a lot of interesting things about the professional development of a historic industrial ruin into a modern apartment and loft property in the context of monument and nature conservation. You can see and feel how much passion has been invested here to create a modern yet cozy ambiance for vacationers. Here, you find peace and relaxation and constantly discover new interesting details of well-thought-out architecture. We will gladly come back! (Translated from German)
