My company booked reservations for me at the Waldhaus Eifel and as I drove closer and closer to the…read moredestination, I was getting more and more excited.
Nestled away in a dark, heavily-wooded ravine, the Waldhaus Eifel offers fantastic seclusion and a little piece of heaven for those individuals wanting to sneak away to somewhere quite while in Germany.
The food is stellar, with a wide variety of traditional German fare along with a smattering of other options from around the world. We sat on the outside veranda which offered a quite, peaceful lunch with only the wind through the trees making any noise. I ordered the Jagerschnitzel with Mushroom Cream Sauce and was exceptionally pleased with the meal. The entrée came with a house salad, which was almost as good as the main course!
My friend and I enjoyed several beers with my favorite being the Erdinger Weissbier. Our waitress spoke excellent English and was very nice.
The hotel is good, with traditionally smaller rooms than you would find in America, but this is Europe. There did not seem to be air conditioning, so the room got a little hot during the night. Also, the bed left something to be desired with regards to comfortable mattresses.
In the morning, the hotel offered a spectacular European breakfast, replete with sliced procuitto, melon, and cake. The also offered a wide assortment of hot dishes to include eggs, bacon, and sausage.
Strongly recommended for the traveler looking for a quiet place to sneak away and relax.
