We are Carolin & Jasper. We lived in the house, which is now a holiday home, for some time before moving away for work reasons. The house has been lovingly renovated and furnished accordingly. Who doesn't love the film "The Holiday" with Cameron Diaz, Jude Law and Kate Winslet? We watched the 2006 film countless times in our sweet cottage, which is why we named it after it. In 1699 the needs, building materials and floor plans were different than today. Today a bathroom would certainly be built much larger, and the kitchen also has a different significance today compared to over 320 years ago. We invite you to put yourself in the shoes of the people of the 17th century. The Siegbach area was characterized by hard work in the ore mines or in the fields. Living in a sturdy half-timbered house, protected from wind and weather, was something special - how proud must the owners have been? And who would have thought that the house would last through the centuries? We therefore lovingly renovated the house in 2021 and 2022, so that in 2022 it was awarded the monument plaque by the state of Hesse, which you can discover outside the house. We have been certified as a Travel Proud partner at Booking since 2023, also with the highest sustainability level 3. We have received “Superhost” status from Airbnb. The German Tourism Association has classified our holiday home as “First Class” with 4 stars from 2024. Best regards, Carolin & Jasper
