General overview
Welcome to our home, in a small village on the River Wurm, with it’s historical bridge.
The space
The living area is dominated by the central staircase over 3 floors and glass windows looking out onto the fields. We have lots of space but in actual fact we have few rooms.
The entrance is above street level, with a large open space , with dining area, couch, and wood burning stove for cold winter evenings, with a well equipped kitchen , which looks out onto the herb garden.
The 2nd bedroom, with a single bed, that pulls out into a double bed, with adjacent bathroom, goes off from this floor.
Upstairs we have a master bedroom, with a door onto the Terrace, a bathroom with bath tub and shower.
One of our favorite spots is the gallery, looking out to the terrace.
When the weather allows we eat most of our meals outside and enjoy our easy maintenance garden.
On the top floor we have mainly storage, but our Grandchildren love to play with the few toys that are still in the house from our Children. It is also possible to make a bed in this space, but in summer it can get quiet warm up there.
We have a child’s high chair, but no baby bed. The house isn’t really stocked up for small children, but our Young Grandchildren come and visit so we have a few things to play with.
We have a strictly no smoking and no pet house. Smoking is only allowed outside.
During your exchange we will close off our hobby rooms, one up in the attic, and one in the Celler.
Guest access
We have a lot of stairs in the house.
Notes
There is public transport in the village, but it is definitely easier with your own Transport.
You can use our e bikes, if we don’t take them with us.
Stuttgart airport is 25 mins away in the car and about 90 mins with public transport.

Fiona and Martin’s home is an ingeniously designed barn conversion with plenty of light and lots of different areas to sit. We particularly liked the garden terrace and the 2 sofas where we could put our feet up. It’s conveniently located for shopping and sightseeing, our favorites were the city of Tübingen and Liechtenstein and Hohenzollern castles. The area is also good for cycling and hiking. -
We enjoyed a wonderful week in Fiona and Martins house. Despite spring was already well on its way it was still chilly. Especially in the evening it was extremely pleasant to start a fire in the stove and enjoy the warmth with a glass of wine. During daytime we wandered the old villages and castles and hiked through the "Monbachschlucht", one of the many beautiful gorges in the area. We did truly enjoy ourselves with the help of the tips from our caring and thoughtful hosts. -
Fiona and Martins house is really cosy and we had a warm welcome with some nice local presents. The house has all you need for a relaxed holiday. A very nice big couch and a stove. We needed a nice place to relax and have family time and it was great. A big and very complete kitchen. A nice bathtub made it complete. We had more than enough space for us as a family of 5. The kids loved the Playmobil and the djembes. The manual was very clear and Fiona is really easy going. -
Thanks Eva We found that It was also uncomplicated with you.

Fiona and Martin's house in southern Germany, close to Stuttgart is great. This is a house converted from an old barn into a comfortable and well-equipped residence. Outside there is a small garden full of vegetables and spices which we enjoyed very much. When we arrived at the house Fiona and Martin welcomed us with coffee and local pastries. We received excellent explanations from them about the house and the possibilities in the area.We stayed there for a week and it served us as an excellent point for sightseeing trips to the Romantic Road, the Black Forest, Heidelberg and Tübingen -
We stayed at Fiona & Martin on our way to Italy. We stayed there for 2 nights. Fiona prepared everything and made sure that we have a great stay in their house. They also recommended places to visit. We went for a day trip to Tübingen. Nice & cozy little town with medieval buildings, river - where you can take a boat trip or simply enjoy the view from the river bank. We had 2 relaxed days before we continue our drive to southern Italy. Thank you Fiona & Martin. Looking forward to to your visit to Denmark 🇩🇰 Best regards, The Jensens family
