We booked this hotel because of it's proximity to the ski area of Feldberg, and were not dissapointed when we arrived. The ski area was a quick and scenic 10 minute drive. The hotel itself was set on a hill, and our room (27) had a balcony that overlooked the woods and snow, it was amazing. The room was a good size, clean, and cozy. The hotel staff were so helpful. We arrived on Christmas eve, and the owner invited us to sing carols and eat cookies that evening with the other guests. It was a great experience. The food was great, the service was great. I can't say enough about how wonderful our stay was.

Stayed at the Gruener Baum for one night, during a touring trip through Europe.

It was the most pleasant, spotlessly clean, friendly hotel we used for the whole trip. It was a true German alpine style retreat, with flowering baloconies overlooking the mountains. The gasthof has been run by the same family for 80 years and they clearly take pride in ensuring your stay is comfortable and refreshing. It rained for our stay, rather heavily, but this didn't mar the trip.

The food at this restaurant is STUNNING. We had the Bauernbratwuerst (sausages) and the Schweinruck (pork steak) The food was fresh, delicious and piping hot. Most main courses came with a salad buffet side/starter and were extremely cheap. Our meal of 2 main courses and salad buffets with a beer and 2 cokes cost only 19gbp. A bargain! We were so full we couldn't manage dessert!

The en suite room we had didn't have a balcony, but was so clean, i couldn't find a speck of dust whatsoever (and i am fussy!) even on the top of the shower cubicle OR picture frames!!!! The format was a large double bed with 2 single mattresses and 2 single duvets. A brilliant concept if your spouse is a duvet hogger.

Breakfast was included in our 63 euro a night tarrif, and was true german style sausage/cheese/muesli/bread/eggs. Delicious.

If this hotel was star rated, it would score very highly indeed.

Do visit nearby Titisee if you stay here, it is a lovely tourist resort with a lake and lots of shops and restaurants. There a literally tons of nature walks too if you are an outdoorsy type.

We had a little difficulty finding the hotel, and had to ask directions several times. This may help you.

Enter Lenzkirch and take the route to Raitenberg (5km) the hotel s actually in Raitenberg, but as this is a tiny village, the address comes under Lenzkirch.

You will love it here!

I travelled to the Feldberg area to go skiing but when we arrived there was NO SNOW! This small Gasthof is remarkably cheap and has the cleanest rooms with the friendliest staff.

Its only drawback is that it is in the middle of nowhere. This wouldn't have posed a problem if there was snow - but without we had to go find things to do. We did - and anyone else can to.

I highly recommend this hotel.
