This is our second stay with Tatjana and Ludwig, this time with kids. Gruner Baum is the perfect spot in the the Black Forest and everything about it, from the clean and comfortable rooms, the view of the forest and the delicious breakfast, are unmatched. Tatjana and Ludwig are gracious, entertaining and funny. They were always available to help with anything we needed. Highly recommended for couples or families. Tatjana, next time will be sooner than 11 years!

The wifi on the third floor was sketchy at times.

Charming hotel blending traditional common areas with modern rooms, perfect for a peaceful retreat. Delicious breakfast. The restaurant offers great quality but is a bit pricey. Great balcony with relaxing views that we enjoyed every evening.

The mattress was quite soft, the cover was not made of soft quality cotton, which I found very unpleasant. For the rest, was a perfect stay.

We ce here years ago and I'm so relieved to see they have weathered the storm of COVID and passing years to be as outstanding as ever. Your hosts are fun and generous, the warmth of their welcome is authentic and the food & drink simply excellent. I can heartily recommend a stay here in a beautiful and peaceful setting. Well appointed huge rooms all kept exceptionally well.

I couldn't stay longer

We had a warm welcome at the Landgasthaus Gruener Baum. The room was nicely furnished, spacious and comfortable, with a private balcony overlooking the valley. We stayed for two nights and ate in the restaurant both evenings – the food was delicious! We would strongly recommend it for a stay in Simonswald.

Beautiful location surrounded by spectacular nature just outside the town of Simonswald. Old farmhouse with modern & spacious rooms. Fantastic restaurant with exceptional host. Check in/out super easy. Breakfast was plentiful with made-to-order-eggs, as well as a breakfast buffet. The in-house restaurant serves regional dishes, which are made fresh and taste absolutely delicious. Free parking on site. Easy access to many hiking trails just steps away from the hotel. Highly recommend. Will stay here again this summer.

The room was very large with lots of windows and a nice little patio. The hosts were excellent. Handy to have the restaurant downstairs. Had excellent dinners both nights we stayed. The breakfast was included and consisted of coffee, juices, yogurt, buns, cheese and cold cuts as well as eggs if you wanted them.

The pillows. Also would be nice to have a little coffee machine. Not a lot to do in the area. (We did have a nice drive the Triberg on day about a half hour away.)

This hotel dates back to the early 1900's but has been extensively modernised. The bedrooms are spacious and well equipped and have balconies. The rooms are well lit, the plumbing works well and the bed is comfortable although the 'german-style' pillows are difficult to get used to. The house nestles in a steep sided and very attractive valley so typical of this area of the black forest and the internet connection was lost because of this although the browser still worked. The substantial breakfasts offered plenty of choice and the food quality was excellent. This is a very efficiently run hotel which we hope to re-visit.

Lack of a full-length mirror in the room

To sum up, everything. The owners takes pride to provide the best service to their guest. Everything is the highest quality. The food was amazing, out of this world. We spent one night only but we hope to get back there for a longer period in the future for a longer break and some walks in the forest.

Not a thing.

It was an so excellent experience to spent time in this beautiful hotel ! All was perfect…. The room, with modern and styled furniture, light, balcony, and the landscape that we discover from it at the 2nd floor. Confortable and really clean bathroom. The typical Schwartzwalder restaurant with its sweet ambiant. And the food…. Fantastic tasty and amazing so much ! The diner was a great moment for me.

Very nice staff. Completely uncomplicated. They got up earlier to prepare breakfast even tho I was the only guest in their facility by that time.
