“We had a fantastic few days at Katharina’s home. It is spacious and well supplied with everything you might need for a family holiday: a modern kitchen, big tables indoor and outside for family meals and playing board games and a lovely garden for the kids to run around. All in a picturesque but not touristy village at a short walk from a lake. Katharina and her family were kind enough to let us use their kayaks which was a highlight for us. Communication with the hosts was perfect from start to finish. ”

About our home
LOOKING FOR (LONGTERM) SWAPS Nov 2020 to Sept 2021
(somewhere to surf would be best, but please offer anything)
Our sweet home is a detached house with a nice garden and it was almost completely rebuilt in 2015 - so it is as good as new. It´s a perfect place for anybody - for families, as it is in a small rural village with kids playing in the streets, for sportive people, as it offers plenty of sport activities in the nearby Alps (hiking, biking, canoeing, paragliding, skiing, snowboarding within 20 minutes) and surrounding lakes (Lake "Simssee" is only 1km away and Lake "Chiemsee" 20km) or for city lovers, as Munich and Salzburg are within a 1-hour-drive. There are also some golf-courses around.
Baierbach is a small village in Stephanskirchen which has about 10,000 inhabitants. You will find all shopping things for the daily life (bakery, butcher, little shops) within 5 minutes by car and there´s a farmers´ market every Friday (2 minutes by foot). The next city is Rosenheim (60,000 inhabitants) which is 7km away (there is a bus line just in front of our house). You can find any kind of city stuff there (plenty of shopping facilities, restaurants, cafes, bars, cinema, bowling alley, parks, ...). There is a train station from where you can easily get to Munich (30 min by train) or Salzburg (1 hour) for example and also by car you can reach some of European´s most famous metropoles in just a couple of hours.
Our house is fully equipped. Feel free to use whatever you need. There are bikes, kayaks, SUPs for you to use. We could also talk about using our car.
We really love our home and so we also want you to feel comfortable during your stay.

Katharina's reviews
As a host (8)“Very comfortable house in a beautiful little Historical Bavarian village . Great location- we went to the Alps form there within 30 minutes. . Great lake ( Simsee) with a good swim only 1 km away from this home. There is a great garden, fit for younger kids. We loved this beautiful place and Katharina is the best host ever. ”
“Katharina and Sebastian have created a very special, happy home in a stunning part of the world and we feel very lucky to have had the opportunity to experience it for a week. The house is extremely comfortable and well equipped with lovely, large rooms. Katharina (with her embarrassingly, perfect English!) could not have been more helpful and welcoming before, during and after the stay even organising for bikes to be available for our whole family. We loved lake living and cycling down to Simssee for swims and SUPing. I don't know what's in that lake water but it makes you fee alive and amazing! We had some lovely lunches out at restaurants recommended by Katharina and in the evenings, we hung out on their brilliant terrace whilst the children played in the garden - everybody happy! There are loads of places to visit in the area, a week wasn't really long enough. We especially loved going up mountains in cable cars. We returned home feeling rested and relaxed to a house which Katharina and Sebastian had taken fantastic care of. All in all, a perfect swap!”
“The house is very comfortable, with a lovely terrace and garden, a fireplace and lounge chairs. The house is perfect for families. The kitchen is very well equipped. We could not have been happier with our stay. The location is interesting and there is a plenty of things to do (Chiemsee, Rosenheim, Salzburg, ..). The house is just a few minutes walk from the Simssee, where we went swimming. Katharina is a well organised host. She was always responsive before and during our stay. We met her sister during our stay and they couldn’t have been more kind and thoughtful. Katharina has prepared many information for activities and places to eat locally. We really enjoyed staying in Katharina’s home. Thank you!”
“We had wonderful stay in Katharina's beautiful home. The house has all the space and facilities you could need especially for a young family. The enclosed and safe garden was a great bonus and our children were kept entertained with all the toys swings and slides. A gorgeous sheltered terrace overlooks the garden and we were able to sit out watching the children play and late at night once they were in bed. Inside there is a lovely spacious open plan kitchen sitting room and large bedrooms. Baierbach is a beautiful part of the world and we loved the mountain views and the fabulous Simsee ( which is only a few minutes from the house) where we spent a lot of time. Everything was in easy reach of the house ( bakery, restaurants, shops), and the city of Rosenheim, where we enjoyed strolling around the pedestrianised streets is less than 15mins drive away. It was also very easy to get train to Munich from Rosenheim. If we had more time we would have explored further. Katharina left many useful instructions in respect of the house and information of all the local area offered. She was also available to answer any questions we might have had. We would love to return to this part of Germany to explore further and would recommend both this area and Katharina's home to all ages. We all enjoyed a wonderful holiday there. ”
“We had the most wonderful days in this lovely house and neighbourhood. We didn't even realize how good the location of the house is untill we get there. There are so many places to visit and explore in the neighbourhood. Swimming, hiking, biking etc. Katharina was more than helpful for us. Big Thank You!”
“We had the most wonderful stay at Katharina and Sebastian's home. Their home is so comfortable and perfect for a family with everything we needed for our stay. The location is quiet as it's set in a little village where we bought eggs and milk for the local farmer. We loved this! There were bikes at our disposal so we enjoyed riding as family to and around the Simssee which is only 5 minutes away and so stunning. If you want to adventure further, Munich and Salzberg are an easy day trip. The local city of Rosenheim is only a 5 minute drive and has everything you need as well as a gorgeous old part in the middle of the town. To make our trip even better Katharina is fantastic to communicate with along the way...and so was her father who lives around the corner! Thanks for a great experience. Hope to be back one day!”
“Katharina and Sebastian were wonderful hosts that took care in providing us with everything we could need. Their home is located in an incredible country area, with lots of natural attractions and within less than an hour from spectacular destinations such as Munich or Salzburg. We had much more fun than we anticipated, and would definitively recommend. ”
