A break from everyday life for young and old alike under a thatched roof

A warm welcome to our vacation farm!

The Litsche Hus, also known as the littje, or  lütje Hus (Low German has no standardized spelling) has been part of our farm since 1770. Built to house the “Häuslinge”—the farm’s retired workers—it has provided a home for people for over 240 years.

In 2013–2014, we devoted a great deal of effort to the eco-friendly renovation of this historic, listed building and transformed it into a unique guesthouse that offers families, couples, and groups versatile, comfortable accommodations. The roof was re-thatched with locally sourced reeds, and the walls, plastered with clay, further contribute to a pleasant indoor climate.

The two vacation apartments, “Dönns” (for up to 2 people) and “Flett” (for up to 6 people), are modern and thoughtfully furnished, combining old and new elements. The non-smoking apartments feature a separate entrance and a shared terrace.

A spacious, shared entryway with a seating area, tables, chairs, a counter, and a cozy stove radiating warmth invites all guests to linger.  Even when the weather isn’t so nice, you can still relax here in good spirits. When the weather is unpleasant, children can use this space to play and run around. Or use the space for your seminar, birthday, anniversary, class reunion, or corporate event—here at Litschen Hus, you can celebrate in rustic style in the common area and in the garden.

There’s also plenty to discover on and around our farm:

  • Barbecue area

  • Playground with lots of play equipment

  • Toys for all ages, as well as art and craft supplies

  • Table tennis table in our “Old Sheep Barn”

  • Bicycles for rent for the whole family (for a fee)

  • Farm and vegetable garden, orchard meadow

  • Animals: calves, cows, pigs, rabbits....

  • Fresh eggs and natural milk from the neighboring farm

  • Breakfast rolls, breakfast, and packed lunches available upon request


We’re happy to show and explain farming to our guests of all ages, organize campfire evenings, accompany you on night hikes, and take you on wildlife-spotting excursions!


We look forward to seeing you!
