Vacation Rentals in the Eifel National Park
Vacation rentals in the Eifel are honestly the perfect accommodation solution. You get privacy, flexibility, and a beautiful setting — all in one. Wonderfully relaxing!
LOFT13
The LOFT13, which sleeps four, is located in the old town of Monschau — a small historic town with lovely half-timbered houses on the edge of the Eifel National Park.
And here’s the kicker: LOFT13 is also housed in an old half-timbered building! How cool is that!
Historic elements meet modern, minimalist, and industrial décor. True SoHo vibes — complete with a wrought-iron spiral staircase, a freestanding shower, and a bright red retro refrigerator.
The standout feature is the large rooftop terrace with views of the surrounding historic buildings. It’s the perfect spot to enjoy a glass of wine in the evening — or two.
Wegfreiheit II
At the Wegfreiheit II vacation rental in Simmerath, you wake up to one of the most beautiful vistas in the Eifel — looking straight out over Lake Rursee, one of the most stunning attractions in the Eifel National Park.
And as if that view alone weren’t already perfect, the terrace even has a cozy swing. We can’t imagine a better spot to watch the sun rise over the Eifel with a cup of coffee in hand. Pure relaxation and an absolute sense of freedom.
And if you want to experience nature from more than just the terrace, you’re also in a great starting position for hiking right from the door.
Haus Barkhausen
Haus Barkhausen in Monschau is a former private residence dating back to 1785. The house is quietly situated, yet you’re just a few minutes from the lively little town center of Monschau.
The vacation apartments sleep two to four people, and pets are welcome — so your dog can explore the Eifel right alongside you.
But it’s not just the location and the pet-friendly policy that win us over — it’s also the great blend of modern furnishings and antique elements throughout the spacious rooms.
A real showstopper: the old portraits of the former owners in thick gold frames — cool pieces of history that leave a real impression.
Vacation Homes in the Eifel National Park
Need more space? No problem! The Eifel National Park has plenty of great vacation homes to choose from. Here are four we’d love to introduce:
NEUGRAD Vacation Home
At the NEUGRAD vacation home in Schleiden, you get a mountain cabin getaway with a modern twist, completely surrounded by nature.
The chalet, which sleeps two to four, has a minimalist design but still manages to feel genuinely cozy and homey.
That snug atmosphere is likely thanks to the lounge area with a fireplace and a panoramic window overlooking meadows and hiking trails. Or maybe it’s the skylight above the bed, through which you can gaze at the stars at night?
Either way, one thing’s clear: the NEUGRAD vacation home is seriously romantic.
EifelChalet Arduina
Craving rustic mountain cabin vibes straight out of a movie? Then the EifelChalet Arduina in Hellenthal is exactly what you’re looking for.
Here, it’s wood on wood. Seriously — wood floors, wood walls, wood staircases. But that’s precisely what gives this vacation home its charm — especially when you add a crackling fireplace to the mix. Bliss!
The EifelChalet goes the extra mile to make sure you feel truly comfortable. The house is surrounded by stunning nature and great hiking trails, and also features a large sauna house with panoramic windows and a sun-filled conservatory.
N3 Quartier
Feeling at home while on vacation? Totally achievable at N3 Quartier! This place to stay for up to ten guests is super welcoming and quietly situated on the outskirts of Kall, with great forests and hiking trails right out the back door.
Warm colors, soft lighting, and a completely soothing atmosphere flow through every room, instantly creating a sense of relaxation and cozy comfort.
That atmosphere is rounded out perfectly by a fire pit in the garden and a sauna. Here, a family vacation and a wellness retreat can easily go hand in hand. It really doesn’t get much better than this.
Boutique Fachwerkhaus Thirty Five
The Boutique Fachwerkhaus Thirty Five is a historic half-timbered vacation home with six bedrooms, less than a two-minute walk from the center of Monschau.
There’s room for up to 12 guests to spread out and feel completely at ease in the individually designed rooms.
From the bookshelf in the hallway, to the old wooden staircase and squishy sofas, to the large dining table with room for everyone — the whole place gives you the feeling that this house was made for one thing only: making families happy.
Welcoming, cozy, unique, and practical.
Hotels in the Eifel National Park
While vacation rentals and vacation homes dominate the Eifel National Park accommodation scene, we’ve also found two truly great hotels for you:
Boutique Hotel Landhauszeit
The Boutique Hotel Landhauszeit is a 3-star hotel in the picturesque town of Bad Münstereifel. You’ll stay in a quiet spot near the Erft river, yet you’re still close to everything — cafés, restaurants, sights, and even hiking trails are all right nearby.
The name Landhauszeit — “country house time” — really lives up to its promise, but in a pleasantly modern way. From wallpaper to mugs to decorative pillows, the hotel is full of loving attention to rustic detail.
Our personal favorite, though, is definitely the large terrace with views of the surrounding Eifel hills.

JUULS Natur Hotel Garni
JUULS Natur Hotel is a small, family-run yet modern hotel in Simmerath on the Rur river, surrounded by excellent cycling and hiking trails.
The rooms are simple and practical, but Hotel JUULS really shines with its many thoughtful little touches — like an all-day coffee and tea bar, packed lunches on request, and great games and reading nooks.
And it’s precisely those little extras that make you feel not just like another guest in a crowd, but almost like you’re at a home away from home. A winning concept.
