About this property

A cosy autumn and winter retreat in the historic ferryman’s house on the Main

  • Once home to the last ferryman on the route to Sommerhausen (until 1972), today it offers a stylishly furnished retreat for anyone wishing to escape the hustle and bustle of everyday life and find some peace and quiet.
    Your perfect winter retreat:
    Warmth & cosiness: Warm up with a hot cup of tea after a refreshing walk right by the River Main, snuggle up in the blankets and enjoy the peaceful tranquillity of the house – our inviting living room, with its very special charm, ensures just that.
    Christmas magic next door: Right next door, the charming Sommerhausen Christmas market beckons at weekends – one of the most beautiful and romantic in the entire region.
    Ideal layout: The house offers a cosy bedroom with a king-size bed, a separate ‘workation’ room with two flexible fold-out mattresses, and a charming front garden with a direct view of the Main.
    Living history: Original photographs and memorabilia from the days when the ferry was in operation lend the house its unique atmosphere – here, you can still get a sense of what life on the Main was once like.
    Views of the Main from every room: Whether from the kitchen, the living room or the bedroom – everywhere you look, you’ll be treated to a unique view directly over the Main. A panorama that changes with the seasons and never loses its magic.
    Prime location: Situated right on the Main Cycle Route – and from your dining table, you can watch the heavy barges gliding leisurely past on the Main. The magnificent city of Würzburg, with its Baroque highlights – the Residenz, Marienberg Fortress and the Old Main Bridge – is conveniently on your doorstep, accessible by car, bike, bus or train.
    Whether for couples, small families, a peaceful ‘workation’ break or an unforgettable Christmas getaway – this historic house offers you the perfect setting for a genuine break.
