Pet-friendly holiday rentals in Schmalkalden-Meiningen

We had a nice, albeit very wet, Pentecost weekend in Rachel's house. We were two families (6 people, 2 children (3 years)). We particularly liked how child-friendly and well-equipped the house was. There are plenty of toys and the trampoline in the garden was a hit. The surroundings are beautifully idyllic. However, we were a little surprised by the high number of ticks, but no one can do anything about that. However, you should prepare yourself before a vacation in the area (vaccination, spray) and check daily, especially with the kids. The house was very cozy and could be heated wonderfully warm with the fireplace in the unfortunately very bad weather. The walk to the house, which is a little elevated, was a little impractical. If you arrive with a little more luggage and shopping, you have to walk the way several times, but it worked. Overall, we were satisfied and felt very comfortable.

A beautiful place to relax & discover. Upon arrival, we were greeted on the terrace by a curious, trusting fire salamander. The cottage is very cozy with a lot of attention to detail and you immediately feel comfortable - everything you need is there. A big thank you to Katharina for the warm hospitality. We will be happy to come back!

We were satisfied with everything, recovered well and the fenced property for our dog was very nice. The only thing missing in the description was that the stairs were very inconvenient for dogs...but not bad, we slept downstairs. The cottage is very modern, for us already much too good😅 maybe you could get new cutlery and the chairs are too low for the table, or the table too high for the chairs. But this is not a criticism, it is just information or a recommendation. Best wishes and thank you for the wonderful days in Thuringia.

Oliver's basic mill is very idyllic and for us it was ideally located for a meeting from northern and southern Germany. Unfortunately, we were not so lucky with the weather to use the great terrace and garden. The communication with Oliver was very friendly. The evenings we sat in a separate room downstairs in the economy, where Oliver cooked for an evening. This was very pleasant as the kitchens of the apartments are two floors higher and we did not all have space there due to our group size (15 people). We took two excursions, one to the border museum and a nearby moor. All and all it was a very nice weekend. :)

We had a great weekend at this lovely place. Everything clean and tidy. Very idyllic and quiet environment. Communication was very friendly, fast and helpful at all times! Definitely recommend! Thanks!

5 ★ Stay – Perfect Anniversary Retreat We chose Cristina’s place to celebrate our wedding anniversary, and it couldn’t have been more perfect! From the moment we arrived, we felt an abundance of good vibes and positive energy throughout the house. The location is wonderfully quiet, surrounded by nature, with plenty of lovely walking paths. The house itself was cozy, spotlessly clean, and felt like a warm hug. It was the ideal serene getaway we were hoping for. With so many interesting places just a 30‑minute drive away, we were able to soak in the region’s charm—Veste Coburg, the impressive fortress known as the "Franconian Crown," is a must-see. Cristina was truly a perfect host: proactive, always available, and a pleasure to communicate with. Her thoughtful touches and responsiveness made our stay effortless and enjoyable. We highly recommend this lovely retreat to anyone seeking peace, charm, and access to the gems of Franconia. We’re already hoping to stay here again.

We spent relaxed days in this super beautiful cottage and the idyllic natural garden. The cottage has been lovingly renovated, yet it has retained its old charm in many places. There is a lovely welcome package, which the children and our dog were very happy about. The area is super beautiful and interesting. There is a great nature reserve nearby and it is not far to Eisenach. The nearest shopping facility is only a few kilometers away in the next village. You can also have a great holiday in this house and in the surrounding area with a rather nervous animal welfare dog. There is plenty of space and tranquility for everyone. The people in the village are also very nice and understanding. You can start hiking directly from the house. There is a good information folder. Our children were thrilled with the warm down duvets and extra blankets, as the weather was cool on Pentecost. We can only recommend the Kaufmann family and their cottage! 😃

We had a great time with a dog in Manuel's place for two. There was even a welcome treat and the fenced garden was great for a relaxing stay. The district is very small, but we were on the road every day anyway. The area is great for hiking or model flying, which is why we were there. The house is equipped with everything you need, we didn't miss anything. The built-in oven impressed us very much and makes cool evenings super cozy. Communication with Manuel was straightforward, although no in-person contact was made, which we a little regretted, but that's a matter of taste. Nevertheless, it was a very friendly and pleasant contact. Will be happy to come back if we go back to the Rhön. A really nice spot in Germany :-)

Great stay at Franziska's! The bungalow is really great – perfect for the two of us. The small terrace is pleasant, well located, and the pool is also great. The bungalow was very clean and beautifully decorated. Perfect for a getaway. Thanks for everything, we will be happy to come back !

great location, a cool landlord and an Air Bnb with great character.

One of the best accommodations we have ever stayed in, located in the city of Erfurt but in a very calm and relaxing place, we were in the area for work and it was perfect to relax at the end of the day, it has everything you need in the house, Anke, Frank and Kheda are very friendly and good hosts, I really recommend it, thank you

I couldn’t recommend more Svenjas plece! It was amazing, the place itself very spacious. It has everything you need for. She hosted as we were at home. We visited with our little one and our dog and we fledged like at home! Definitely would come back again!! Thanks!!

very nice place nice people nice pool large accommodation very nice area good for children the place. again and again we felt very comfortable.

Incredible, a real gem this forest house. There were five of us. The house leaves nothing to be desired. You should experience it on site to understand what I mean. Thank you, dear Kerstin. See you soon :)

Had a very nice stay. The flat is spacious and was super clean. Our son was able to crawl and play around. It is also wonderful to relax on the terrace. Even when it rains, you're dry. Beautiful surroundings too. Being able to relax here.

The accommodation is located in a beautiful holiday park, a little off the beaten path in a small village. 2 large playgrounds offer space for people and animals to run and play. There are many opportunities for hiking in the area, and the proximity to the highway makes it possible to quickly take some excursions into the area. We spent 1 week there and felt very comfortable and would definitely recommend it.

The apartment in this beautiful area of Thuringia is very quiet, spacious and lovingly furnished, and perfectly equipped with everything you need. The landlord is very friendly and always quick to reach. We felt very comfortable and would be happy to come back.

We had very nice days at Iris. Beautiful apartment. Very nice hostess. Glad to come back.

A super lovely apartment. The highlight is the pool table. Very nice landlords, super accommodating with great communication!

The bungalow is surrounded by fir trees and a small stream rushes in the background. Super idyllic and great for relaxing from everyday stress. There is an outdoor swimming pool nearby. The location in connection with the bungalow is super cozy. Great value for money. Host was quick to reach and always helpful. Very straightforward.

The weekend at Michael's was absolutely wonderful! A really charming accommodation and an extremely quiet and relaxed area! A paradise for those seeking peace and quiet! We really enjoyed the days. Michael was super committed and accommodating and fulfilled every wish! His wife Anja is also extremely likeable and you immediately feel at home! We would come back. Many thanks for everything

I had been looking for a quiet, rural place to stay in Franconia and with animals to get away from it all for a few days and didn't get disappointed. Kim and Armin are very open and friendly and have tips/solutions ready for any questions.

Very nice spacious accommodation, lovingly and thoughtfully furnished, cozy and quiet. Above all, the large living space with an open kitchen, which had everything you need for relaxed cooking on vacation, was very inviting. The sauna for free use and a balcony with afternoon sun have rounded everything off nicely. Once you arrive, you can easily explore the area on foot, you are in the forest in a few minutes and can start hiking or go towards the village and stroll through the spa park to the monastery ruins and eat ice cream in the ice cream cafe. For us with a small child, the nearby playground was also great. Bakers and shops are also within walking distance in 10-15 minutes. The hosts were extremely nice and always easily accessible. When we forgot things on departure, they were sent very nicely and easily. Thank you again. Overall, absolutely recommended for a few nice relaxing days in a great environment.
