Exclusive vacation homes in the northern Black Forest

Exclusive vacation homes in the northern Black Forest
SchwarzwaldStrand in Bad Herrenalb combines two exclusive vacation homes: the beach house, with three individually designed apartments, and the innovative deck houses, consisting of three unique units. Both are impressive architect-designed houses made of solid wood that combine modern aesthetics with sustainable construction and perfectly complement the natural beauty of Bad Herrenalb.
The beach house is idyllically situated on the edge of the village in the valley, just 100 meters from the charming outdoor pool and directly on the private beach of the Alb. Since 2024, the deck houses have enriched our offer – modern wooden houses, embedded in the immediate vicinity of the forest and nature of the Upper Gaistal. All accommodation – whether in the beach house or in the deck houses – is designed to focus on individuality and privacy.
Our accommodation at a glance:

  • Beach house: Three separate apartments with a shared, spacious lobby, ideal for couples, families or small groups, with direct access to the private beach.
  • Deck houses: Three detached units with large windows and panoramic views that bring the surroundings indoors.
    The choice is yours: spend your stay in an apartment in the beach house or in one of the deck houses. For larger groups, you can book the entire beach house (up to 18 people) or all three deckhouses (up to 21 people) exclusively.

Combine both domiciles for unforgettable experiences:
Only 4 km apart and connected by an idyllic forest path, the beach house and the deckhouses are perfect for larger events or family gatherings. Together they offer space for up to 39 people.
Two architectural highlights – two distinctive locations:

  • Beach house: In the valley, directly on the private beach of the Alb and close to the outdoor pool – perfect for relaxing days.
  • Deckhouses: On the mountain in the Upper Gaistal, close to the ski lift and surrounded by the tranquillity of the Black Forest.

Experience modern comfort, close proximity to nature and the picturesque atmosphere of Bad Herrenalb in these exceptional architect-designed houses made of solid wood. Your time-out starts here!

Vacation with the 4 elements

Fire

In each apartment, the fire crackles in a wood-burning stove and provides warmth (in addition to the pleasant underfloor heating) and a feeling of security. Cooking is done in the comfortable kitchen. The beach house is all Italian – with a gas flame and if you still haven’t had enough of a crackling fire, you can end the evening romantically in front of the garden fireplace on the Albstrand.

Water

Our vacation apartments are located directly on the rushing Alb. The river water is of drinking water quality and the salmon that have already discovered the Alb know this too. Bad Herrenalb has a thermal bath with a thermal spring in the spa gardens and the outdoor pool surrounded by greenery is just 100 meters from the Black Forest beach.

We have also analyzed our tap water and you can taste the quality.

Earth

The Albstrand invites you to enjoy nature in peace and quiet. The beautiful, 100-year-old clay pavers and the light-colored sandstone walls absorb the warmth of the sun’s rays. Solid wood is the protagonist of the entire Schwarzwaldstrand house ensemble and lends the rooms a warm, extremely pleasant atmosphere. Bad Herrenalb lies at the end of the Alb Valley and is surrounded by forests, clearings and flower meadows. The only imposition: the knocking of the woodpecker!

Air

Bad Herrenalb is a climatic health resort, where you can take a deep breath and let your lungs be puffed out with very good air. If you want to get really close to the sky, you can take to the skies from the Althof and Teufelsmühle hang-gliding hills at an altitude of up to 900m.

Lucie und Sebastian sind super nette Gastgeber. Immer gut erreichbar. Unterkunft war sehr gepflegt und sauber und bietet alles was das Herz begehrt! Modernes Gebäude, tolle Ausstattung! Nette, idyllische und ruhige Ortschaft, schöne Wanderwege. Die Kinder waren begeistert am Strand zu spielen. Wir haben unsere Tage sehr genossen und kommen bestimmt nochmal wieder.

Eine unglaublich gemütliche Ferienwohnung in toller Umgebung. Besonders hervorzuheben ist die familienfreundliche Atmosphäre. Der tolle Gartenbereich mit eigenem Strand lädt selbst im Dezember (warm eingepackt) zum ausgiebigen spielen ein. Aber auch die schönen Spielzeuge und Bücher in der Wohnung fanden bei unserem Sohn großen Anklang. Die Wohnung ist sehr hochwertig und mit viel Liebe zum Detail eingerichtet und auch der technische Stand ist gut. Gefehlt hat uns wirklich nichts. Ausliegende Flyer und Ausflugstipps der Hauseigentümer Familie waren aktuell. Die Kommunikation mit der Eigentümer Familie funktionierte einwandfrei. Wir können die Unterkunft zu 100 % weiterempfehlen und werden gerne wieder kommen. Vielen Dank

Traumhafte Lage, tolle Architektur, eine herzliche und professionelle Gastgeberin. Wir kommen gerne wieder. Kleiner Verbesserungsvorschlag: die Betten fanden wir etwas hart und unbequem. Trotzdem insgesamt wirklich ganz toll!

From this view: from left to right: THE FOUR, THE FIVE, THE SIX

The four

The four is the eastern house with the most morning sun and a fantastic view to the north and east, but in the evening you can still enjoy the evening sun on the terraces.

 

The Five

The Fünf is the middle house with a fantastic view over the Black Forest to the Rhine Valley. All the houses are identical in layout, but The Five is mirrored.

 

The six

The six is the western house with a fantastic view over the Black Forest to the Rhine Valley, in the evening you can watch the sunsets from these terraces.
