An extraordinary monument awaits you in the beautiful spa town of Bayerisch Eisenstein: an authentic railway signalman's cottage dating from 1877. With its solid fieldstone walls, natural slate roof, and the forest railway passing by, it exudes a timeless atmosphere that will transport you to another era.
The lovingly preserved original details such as wooden floorboards, lattice windows, and exposed ceiling beams characterize the character of the house. Your day begins in the spacious living/dining area with open kitchen. A historic wooden staircase leads to the cozy reading gallery and two bedrooms, while the spacious bathroom surprises with historic church tiles.
The wild garden with its delicate pink climbing roses, moss-covered boulders, and inviting breakfast lawn invites you to linger. Two original wooden sheds, including the former wash house, tell their own stories.
The Bavarian Forest is at your feet: discover the nearby grocery store with regional specialties, hike to the Arberseewand, or visit the Bavarian Forest National Park with its wildlife. The historic restaurants 'Schmugglerhütte' and 'Vo'Gunders' are just a short walk away.
Tourism Fee not included
A Tourism Fee is a mandatory fee that you have to pay when visiting certain tourism areas in Germany. The fee is not included in the price because it depends on where you stay, how many nights you stay, how old you are and if you're bringing your dog. The fee usually varies between €0 and €4 per adult per night, but may be 5% in certain areas, such as Berlin. It should be settled with the host upon arrival.

Host since July 2025
Wake up in a listed building from 1877 with a view of the Arber mountain
Explore the national park with its wildlife enclosures and Stone Age cave
Hike through untouched nature to the mystical Schwellhäusl
This region has been part of my history since childhood, as my mother was born in Zwiesel. With the purchase of the Bahnhäusl, I have fulfilled a long-held dream. The wild nature, the torrents, and the sacred silence of the forest make every stay a refreshing break for body and soul.

The enchanted vacation home is located on the outskirts of town, separated from the forest only by a single-track railroad line. From the cozy house, you have a view of the mountains, including the Großer Arber. From here, you can take wonderful tours through the Bavarian Forest as well as the neighboring Bohemian Forest.
