"A charming cottage in a beautiful location. Glen is a very friendly and efficient host who left lots of thoughtful touches throughout the cottage for our family. We ordered one of Glen's privately catered meals for our first night and the food was amazing. We will definitely be back for another lovely relaxing retreat. A real home away from home". J & Family - Luxembourg
A wonderful place!! In the middle of the beautiful surrounding nature you will find paradise here. Glen, the host, is exceptional!! So friendly and welcoming, you will love him! The cottage is very well equipped, if you don't find something in the kitchen, it's because you did not look well enough ;) I can only recommend a stay here!! I will come back for sure :) S - Luxembourg
"We had an amazing stay at the Vianden Cottage. The cottage is located in a beautiful secluded area and the town (incl. Vianden castle) is nearby at walking distance. Glen renovated the place beautifully and has an eye for the attentive details (welcome chocolates and a bottle of champagne for our honeymoon). Besides being a great host, Glen (being a chef) prepared two delicious meals for us. We would definitely recommend the cottage to other travelers." L&A - The Netherlands
“I would like to place on public record my thanks to Glen for a fabulous stay. It was a very special birthday celebration and Glen went to amazing lengths to give us the 'royal treatment' with a fabulous meal not to mention many other lovely touches. Thanks again Glen and see you soon. Love to Fiddich,” - K&C + B - Scotland/Luxembourg
"This is perfect, we are having one of the best trips ever. It has been snowing, the walks and views were amazing. We are not looking forward to going home :-) we can't wait to come back here sometime and we rate this stay a fat 10. Thank you so much for your warm welcome. - E & Family - Belgium
"This was the second time we came to this property, so we were familiar with the area and the facility. Our dog recognised the house and happily ran up the stairs upon arrival. It is in the woods and you don't see nothing but trees (or birds and squirrels...) The house is well equipped with full kitchen utensils, BBQ set, coffee machine, water cooker, dish washer, washing machine... You can really live here. The village of Vianden is a good walking distance of 20-25 minutes and it is nice to do with a dog." V-R - Belgium
"The interior of the cottage was very cozy and radiated warmth. The view from the cottage and from the terrace is fantastic. When contacting the host, there was always a quick response. We liked that our dogs were very welcome. It was also nice for the dogs that they could run loose on the balcony as it is closed with a gate. Highly recommended. In any case, we will come back again." - F & Family - Luxembourg
"Great escape from the city, needed to get my head together and this was the place to find peace and clarity. Also a great drive from Luxembourg in a classic car. All around therapy, thanks Glen for all your considerations." - F. - Luxembourg
De ontvangst was geweldig, Glen is enorm gastvrij. Het huisje is echt perfect: schitterende ligging op een heuvel, midden in de natuur. Geniet van de rust! Ook binnen is het geweldig: heel knus, alles is aanwezig en de open haard is heerlijk. Komen graag weer terug! / The welcome was great, Glen is very hospitable. The cottage is really perfect: beautiful location on a hill, in the middle of nature. Enjoy the peace! It is also great inside: very cozy, everything is there and the fireplace is lovely. Would love to come back again!" - J & Family - The Netherlands
"The Cottage was very nicely located: close to Vianden and the castle but also secluded which made it perfect to relax, especially on the quite spacious veranda. We got very quick and extensive responses from Glen, something that we find really useful/pleasant. Also in the cottage there was everything we need. Perfect place for us!" - H & A - The Netherlands
As soon as Glen stepped out of his car and greeted us (including our dog), we knew that the weekend couldn't go wrong! He gave us a guided tour inside the cozy cottage, literally in the middle of forest, yet still close enough to the village down the hill. We ordered some BBQ-ready food from Glen and oh, it was so delicious! The deck is covered, so you can BBQ even when it rains. The cottage is decorated with a lot of personal touch and it makes it very homey. In the morning, we could see squirrels and birds out of the windows. We are already planning to come back in the summertime! K & Family - The Netherlands
"Good location and good hospitality. Some groceries by choice were already in the cottage and the fire place was also ready to go. Overall great value for the price." - H & Friends - The Netherlands.
Vos explications étaient parfaites et nous sommes très bien installés Merci pour vos gentilles attentions pour nous et notre chien Stanley Merci nous reviendrons! - T & S - Belgium
The cottage is even more charming than the pictures and very dog friendly. When we arrived they had provided some snacks, water bottles, sparkling wine and dipping sauces. Further there were a print with how to and local tips. The cottage was very clean. Glen is quick to reply, and always helpful with tips, driving directions and everything else. Internet is great, the cottage is fully equipped. You should definitely stay at this place. Luckily we got to meet Glen, and he is one of the most friendly people you will ever meet. We would definitely love to stay at the cottage again. - W & Family - Denmark
“Mooie plek aan schaduwkant van berg boven Vianden. Rustig gelegen en op 10 minuten wandelen van stadje. Fijn en compleet huis met gezellige details. Zeer behulpzame gastheer met voldoende privacy. 👍👍👍” - A & Family - The Netherlands
This place has everything you need and more. It is on a very quiet road, with hardly any traffic. Beautiful view of the castle a couple of minutes away. We really enjoyed the outdoor fireplace. Recommended wholeheartedly! - I & Family - The Netherlands
It is so much better than the website. Nice cottage, wonderful balcony with the best view. There are many birds to see. You won’t miss a thing in this cottage, everything is there with a great starting package of basic things and more. The service was great and our dog Bailey really loved it. And the chest in the room... What a mystery!! There are a lot of nice local shops in the neighbourhood and a lot of nice villages in short distance. We will visit this cottage again. We grade this with a big 10!!! - E, C & B - The Netherlands
A great place to stay in Luxembourg! The house gives you everything you need to relax and enjoy the nature in Vianden. The castle is nearby, a nice and quiet place to bbq and Glen was very helpful for us. Thanks! - B, B, D & C - The Netherlands
A "Neat and clean, moreover I felt cozy actually. Great access to Vianden Castle and town. Very Good" - T & Family - Japan/Luxembourg
“Fijne cottage, gezellig in het bos boven Vianden! Super gezellig huis met letterlijk alles aanwezig en een pittoresk 'tuintje' waar je een heerlijk vuurtje kan maken. Je kan gemakkelijk vanuit de cottage te voet het dorp bereiken, fijn voor als je s avonds nog iets wil eten in Vianden. Vianden is een schattig dorp/ stad met toffe buurtwinkels en aangename restaurantjes. Net als in de rest van Luxemburg is het een paradijs voor fietsers en motorrijders ( maar in de cottage heb je het heerlijk rustig). Wij maakten ook fijne wandelingen in andere dorpen waaronder Echternach, bezochten Luxemburg stad ( echt een aanrader maar het museum Mudam is nu wel aan het verbouwen dus collectie beperkt) en hadden een avontuurlijke wandeling in het prachtige Mullerthal. Wij komen graag nog eens terug!” - E & Company - The Netherlands “Sfeervol, knus en romantisch; volgende x komen we terug zonder de kids! Dank voor alles Glen, jij bent de perfecte gastheer :).” / “Atmospheric, cozy and romantic; next time we will be back without the kids! Thanks for everything Glen, you are the perfect host :). ” - L & Family - The Netherlands

“Glen was super kind and polite. Everything was organized perfectly. Extra credits for the food what he prepared.” - T, Luxembourg/Finland
“My family and I had a great weekend get away stay at this lovely little cottage. We were surrounded by the forest and view was absolutely gorgeous. Glen the host was there to meet us and answered all our questions plus more. He left us with very accurate information about the area making it easy to get around. My 12 and 9yr old had a lovely time playing pool and other games the host had in the cottage. Cottage is definitely worth a visit. Glen also cooks professionally and he made us some delicious dishes.” S & Family - Luxembourg
A cozy weekend, the host was very responsive, you have everything you need in the cottage and Vianden is amazing for hiking, visiting the Castle and even for a staycation during "these" times. I would definitely recommend it even in lockdown times. A & Family - Luxembourg
Well appointed property. Lovely secluded location in the forest. Glen is a very responsive and helpful host - nothing is too much trouble for him, and the food we ordered from him was excellent quality. A great place for a relaxed and peaceful get away, and great walks for our dogs. J & Family - Luxembourg
We had a very nice weekend and were able to relax well. The house is very lovingly furnished with attention to detail. The owner is very friendly and helpful, we would really like to give a higher rating. We will definitely come back again. There is nothing to say, it was wonderful 😍 B & Family - Germany
Very cosy and well equipped for a self sufficient holiday. If isolation is not to your liking, it’s a short 1km walk down to town with the many restaurants and cafes. Log fire, large flat screen TV with Apple TV, German satellite TV and and X-BOX, Yamaha sound system which was awesome. Outside is a BBQ, fire pit with coals etc. I & Family - Luxembourg
Even in the pouring rain we loved it! Secluded location. Set right in the forest with no visible neighbors. Well equipped, pleasant cabin with everything you need. Great fireplace and BBQ. The kitchen is set up properly for cooking. Beautiful hikes near by and the village and chateau are stunning. A & Family - Luxembourg
Extremely responsive and caring host. Accurate description and pictures of the flat in walking distance to the most wonderful places the region has to offer. Host responded quickly and efficiently to minor issues raised during our stay. Check in was easy and check out even easier. We will be back again. AJ & Company - Luxembourg
A fost totul perfect,locatia minunata,in mijlocul naturii...casuta foarte speciala,dotata cu tot ce era nevoie,pentru a avea tot confortul! Pe masa ne-a asteptat o surpriza din partea lui Glen,gazda noastra,pentru care ii mulțumim din suflet!:) Ne-am simtit minunat si o sa revenim cu siguranta!!! A&Family - Luxembourg
Beautiful cottage! We stayed a weekend and even though we did not have running water and electricity after 1 day, because of a flood. We had the best time. Playing games enjoying the fireplace, have walks in gorgeous nature. Highly recommended. We will come back! S&E - The Netherlands
We will cherish our time spent at the Vianden Cottage. We highly appreciate the high level of personal attention given us by the host, the delicous food, and the caring detail that has gone into furnishing this lovely private cottage. P&S - Denmark
A unique location in the green on your 'own' mountain with Vianden at your feet! A lovely house with all amenities; a multi-burner to make it wonderfully pleasant inside, a bbq for a snack on the terrace with a view and of course also good WiFi and a well-equipped kitchen. J&H - The Netherlands
I enjoyed a quiet and relaxing stay. The location was great for exploring Vianden and beyond. It is rustic and cozy with a well-equipped kitchen. The host was very communicative without being obtrusive. It was nice to meet Glen and he provided detailed directions and helpful tips. I was grateful to have found a place that fit my style so perfectly. A - Luxembourg
Glen went the extra mile to welcome us and make us feel at home for our weekend trip. As a welcome gift, he generously left us chocolate, a bottle of prosecco, and even treats for our dog! In addition to being in a beautiful spot in the forest just outside of Vianden, Glen’s place has everything you can imagine - and way more than any AirBnB property I’ve stayed at, including firewood, extra blankets, and anything you need for cooking (spices, oil, etc.)! The only issue for us was that the plumbing was a bit sensitive, but Glen was extremely communicative and responsive to the issue. We would definitely return. A sincere thanks to Glen for everything! A&L - Luxembourg
Een unieke locatie in het groen op je ‘eigen’ berg met Vianden aan je voeten!

Erg leuk huisje op een mooie locatie. Goed bereikbaar en centraal gelegen. Het huisje was heel compleet, alles was aanwezig. Van koffie en thee, hout voor de allesbrander tot aan het voer voor de vogeltjes buiten (kuifmezen, boomklevers etc.) Glen, de host, was erg vriendelijk en enthousiast. Y & Family - The Netherlands
If you look for a cosy charming spot in the area, Glen's chalet is great. We had a very good sunny weekend, but cold. However with the fireplace, we even did not want to go out. We had a nice red wine, spent time around the fire. The view is great and easy place to drive around. Glen's place is dog friendly ! P& Family - Belgium
We had a great stay at the Vianden Cottage. Glen gave us a great welcome. The cottage is located very quiet on top of a hill with great views and a beautiful little garden. The cottage was very cozy, everything you needed was at hand and we and our 2 sons (7&9) had a fantastic stay here. Also lots to do in the area and beautiful hikes. We had a fantastic stay, what a marvelous place! Thank you R& Family - The Netherlands
Very nice location. Walking path in front of the door and almost no traffic. Hospitality and friendly host who communicates in a pleasant way. The dog was also very welcome. K & Family - The Netherlands
Fantastic view, the silence of nature. A steep climb from the centre of vianden, but only 7-8 minutes. Lovely in one word. W & F - The Netherlands
The professional and friendly welcome of the host who is very available, his homemade preparations to use on his barbecue :), the calm and isolated environment (lost in the middle of the forest) and very green, the decoration and equipment of the cozy housing. I & Friends - The Netherlands

All kinds of fun stuff. All over the house. Thank you, Glen. I'll inform my family and friends. H & Family - The Netherlands
Relax in this charming cottage among the trees on a hill above the village of Vianden. Glen is a superhost who wants to make its guests feel at home. There was a welcome tray with Prosecco and chocolates. Because we travelled by public transport, he came to pick us up in the village so we did not have to walk up the hill with our luggage. The cottage is comfortably furnished, all features: a made bed, soap, all cooking supplies, free wifi, a spacious seating area with TV, ... In summer it is nice and cool, in winter you can light the fireplace, also wood is provided. On the terrace you can have a barbecue or read on the sofa overlooking the village. Via forest paths you can walk down in no time, where you will find restaurants, a small supermarket and the sights of Vianden, including the famous castle. From the cottage you can make various signposted walks. We had a wonderful time here and dare to call The Vianden Cottage a small paradise. E&G - Belgium
A very pleasant place to stay in the warm temperatures, the most cordial reception! Y & G - Belgium
In a word, a wonderful holiday or a weekend away! The location is great. No neighbors on a mountain. Morning coffee on the covered balcony overlooking the valley.
