A very special kind of getaway awaits you. Nestled between the forest and the Perf Reservoir, the Schwanennest is situated in a completely secluded location. Your only neighbors are horses and sheep. Here, you can go offline and off-grid to refocus on the essentials of life. A cozy, hygge-style little cabin is your home away from home. You’re free to enjoy every part of the fenced-in garden. From your terrace, you’ll have a wonderful panoramic view. If you’re looking for more than just relaxation, you can choose the program that suits you best from our coaching modules. You’ll have the cabin all to yourself, and even during the coaching modules, your coaches will be there just for you (one-on-one sessions). You’ll be personally supported by the COME HOME Biedenkopf team—we’re certified trainers and psychological counselors. The program is designed for prevention, counseling, and life coaching.
!!! Important !!! You decide the length of your stay yourself; the minimum stay is two nights. If you don’t want to be alone, feel free to bring a loved one or your pet with you at no extra cost. You can also book the Schwanennest without participating in the program.
In just a few minutes, you can reach the lake or the forest from there; the Lahn Hiking Trail passes right by the Schwanennest. At the lake, you can rent kayaks or SUP boards. The Seeblick restaurant, with its large outdoor terrace, offers food and drinks right on the lake. There are two bird-watching stations in the nature reserve by the lake.
You can also book the Schwanennest in winter—we’re happy to offer you a winter discount.
Please also check our BOOKING CALENDAR on the COME HOME Biedenkopf homepage under the “Hüttenglück” section. That way, you can see right away if anything is still available!
If you’d like to give this getaway as a gift, we’ll provide you with a lovingly designed gift certificate.
Feel free to check out our other offers, “Weekend Forest Getaway” and “Getaway in the Fairy-Tale Cabin,” on Retreaturlaub!
We look forward to seeing you! Patrick and Andrea
