We stayed here for 3 days at the tail end of our trip in Germany. It was easily the best place we…read morestayed, by far. Ferienwohnungen Oberreitlehen is a vacation rental on a working dairy farm that's situated in the rolling hills next to the alps. It's located on the outskirts of the town of Bischofwiesen, minutes from Berchtesgaden. The scenery is breathtaking. Look out any window and you see snow-capped peaks against lush green fields with the occasional cow walking around for good measure. As you can imagine, the setting is completely authentic and relaxing. The apartments were sensational too. They were quite new, very clean, and well maintained. As far as decor goes, the owners, Sebastian and Martina Brander, did a great job designing them. There's exposed wood everywhere from floor to ceiling as well as historic family photos on the walls, subtly honoring the country lifestyle that the Brandner's live. Rustic charm aside, they were also sure to add in all the modern conveniences you could want in a vacation rental; sleek appliances in the kitchen, rain shower head in the bathroom, flat screen TV's, etc. As for the owner's, they were very easily to deal with, and very helpful when we had questions. And the value was great! Just under 100 euros a night, which I found to be an amazing value considering we got a large 2 BR apartment. In the end, I would wholeheartedly recommend staying at Ferienwohnungen Oberreitlehen if you're going to Bavaria, and I hope to do so once more myself!

I really enjoyed starting at this place. It's location is perfect. You can walk to everywhere in…read moreBerchtesgaaden in 10 minutes. The walk through the forrest is my favorite. The breakfast is very broad and includes anything you can think of and is very German. Very good bread (Germans have a reputation for their bread, equal to their cars), fresh jams, meat, fruit, joghurt, milk and real oatmeal with tea, coffee and orange juice. If you're vegan you can bring your own stuff. They have a little community refrigerator you could use just give them a call to double check. I loved that the owner of the Pension would wear a different dirndl every single day. She was actually really friendly. The room we had wasn't the most spacious but yet just perfect. It sufficed for what we needed. I'm sure if we had chosen to go up in our budget we'd have something bigger. We had a dinning room with a 6 person dinning table with a beautiful view, a large bathroom and 3 beds with lots of closets and a TV with many channels. I am looking forward to go back.
