A stay with your dog

With all sorts of extras & "treats"

We love dogs. Holidays with dogs at Gapphof At Gapphof, dogs are part of the family.

They don't just travel "with" you—they are welcomed guests.

That’s why we’ve created a place where both humans and their four-legged friends can move freely, relax, and simply enjoy their holiday. Between apple orchards, the natural pond, and vast views, dogs can truly be dogs—and their humans can let go.

Everything a dog needs
To ensure a worry-free arrival, we provide a thoughtful selection of basic equipment free of charge:
  • Food and water bowls
  • Floor mat for bowls
  • Dog blanket
  • Dog towels
  • Waste bags

🐾 We are also happy to provide a cozy dog bed free of charge.
→ Please reserve this as an additional service when booking.

Open space, nature & little adventures
Right at the farm, plenty of space awaits for exercise, cooling off, and relaxation:
Dedicated dog swimming area in our natural swimming pond.
Fenced dog park with a small agility course – perfect for letting off steam or socializing.
Dog walks starting directly from the farm through our apple orchards.
And sometimes... there are little breakfast surprises even for our furry friends.
