The Arrival. Oh. My. God.
Okay, so first impressions are everything, right? And the initial impression of Lossburg was… well, it was a journey. Getting there was an adventure involving a stressed rental car and my questionable sense of direction. (Thank God for the GPS, and even more thankful for Free Car Parking, On-Site – because after that drive, I couldn't imagine the added stress of finding a spot). The exterior, though, was impressive, that was a good first impression.
Accessibility – A Mixed Bag:
Now, as someone who occasionally fancies themselves a klutz, Facilities for Disabled Guests were definitely a plus, or at least, a concern from which I hoped for better from. There was an Elevator, which was a godsend after lugging my overpacked suitcase (seriously, three pairs of ski pants is overkill, right?). But some of the access routes seemed a little… roundabout. And I didn't even have a wheelchair, so I can only imagine what that would be like. There was a distinct lack of ramps for easy access to the spa, and the spa!
The Spa: Paradise, with a Side of… Confusion?
Listen, the Pool with View was breathtaking. Honestly, a view like that makes you forget all your life's problems (except maybe the fact that you're probably going to fall on your face while skiing). The Sauna? Divine. The Steamroom? Glorious. But the Foot Bath? Well, it was more like a lukewarm puddle. Just a puddle. And the whole spa area itself could get a bit…crowded. Like, "elbow-to-elbow with people wearing tiny white robes" crowded. I am not the spa girl, but the pool made up for everything!
Then there was the Body Scrub, which I almost skipped. I'm not especially into being scrubbed, but I'm so glad I did! It was so relaxing, I think I fell asleep!
Food, Glorious (and Sometimes Confusing) Food:
Alright, let's talk food. Now, the Western Breakfast was pretty standard (eggs, bacon, that kind of thing). But the Asian Breakfast? Now, that was an experience. The Asian Cuisine in Restaurant was a gamble. I'm not sure what it really was, but I ate things that I can't name! And there was the Coffee shop with some pretty good pastries, if I must be honest.
Rooms: Luxury, But…
The room itself? Well, it was quite something. Air Conditioning, Blackout Curtains, Free Bottled Water, Hair Dryer, In-room Safe Box, Mini Bar, Satellite/Cable Channels, etc. You get the picture, it was pretty swanky. The Bed was so comfortable, that I almost didn't even want to get out of bed for the skiing!
The Wi-Fi Saga:
Free Wi-Fi in all rooms!… Except when it wasn't. Let's just say the Wi-Fi was a little temperamental, especially in the evenings. I was getting frustrated. Okay, not a little. I had to find a Wi-Fi booster in the convenience store, and that didn't even work. I'm a person who likes to be connected to the interwebs, so the lack of consistent service was annoying.
Things to Do (Besides Skiing, Obviously):
Besides the spa, there wasn't much to do. I'm a person who likes to relax, so the Fitness center wasn't for me. There was the Bar, where I may or may not have had a few cocktails! There was Babysitting service, but no kids, so I didn't use it. And something called the Shrine, and I didn't use it, either.
Cleanliness and Safety - The New Normal:
This place really went above and beyond, and I appreciated it immensely. The Daily Disinfection in Common Areas, Hand Sanitizer, Hygiene Certification, and Room Sanitization Opt-Out Available were all much appreciated, since right now no one can be too careful.
Services and Conveniences – A Mixed Bag:
The Concierge was great, really helpful! The Front Desk [24-hour] was also super convenient. The Laundry Service came in handy after I fell in the snow (more than once). The Luggage Storage was a lifesaver. But… the Cash Withdrawal didn't work quite right. But the Convenience Store saved me when on several occasions!
The Skiing (Spoiler Alert: I survived!)
Okay, so skiing. I won't bore you with the details, but let's just say I'm a beginner. Lots of falling down. The slopes were good, but nothing extraordinary. The views, though? Absolutely stunning.
The Verdict: Worth It?
Look, the Unbelievable Lossburg Ski Holiday Home really is an experience. There are quirks, and there are imperfections. But the good? Oh, the good is really good. The stunning views, the comfortable beds, the spa (when it's not overrun), it was pretty good!
Yes, I'd go back. But next time, I'm bringing my own travel-sized Wi-Fi booster. And maybe an extra pair of gloves. And possibly skipping the Asian breakfast.
Overall Rating: 4 Stars (with a generous view)

The Lossburg Log: A Holiday Home Heist of Hearts (and Maybe a Few Ski Poles)
Day 1: Arrival & The Great Grocery Gauntlet (and Why I'm Already Questioning My Life Choices)
- 14:00 - ARRIVAL. The holiday home. "Cozy," they called it. It's… well, let's say it has character. The photo on Airbnb was clearly taken in the dead of summer and is probably a deepfake. My first emotional reaction: mild dread. The furniture smells faintly of old wood and regret. This is gonna be fun.
- 15:00 - Unpack. Or, more accurately, toss everything haphazardly onto the beds. There's a distinct lack of drawer space, which is already a sign this trip is going to be more "lived experience" than "stylish retreat."
- 16:00 - The Great Grocery Gauntlet. Armed with a list (that I promptly and predictably lost) and a vague notion of German, I venture into the Edeka. I’m pretty sure I just complimented a display of sausages using a phrase that probably translates to "your shoes are magnificent." The self-checkout is a technological beast I'm pretty sure hates me. By the time I've wrestled a bag of pretzels from the jaws of the machine and paid approximately €400, I'm ready for a stiff drink. And a nap.
- 18:00 - Aperitivo Time! Crack open the Prosecco (the good stuff – I deserved it) and attempt to assemble the grotesquely complicated coffee machine. Fail. Embrace instant coffee. This is clearly going to be a "survive and thrive" kind of trip.
- 19:00 - Dinner. We’re having a pre-made, microwaveable, mystery meat and potato-thing. Oh, the glamour. Actually, it’s surprisingly good. Maybe the Prosecco is influencing my culinary judgment.
(Ramblings and Revelations)
Right, so… Lossburg. It's… charming. In a way that involves a lot of very specific, very Germanic wooden balconies. Honestly, I am already craving a proper, steaming mug of tea (after my coffee ordeal). And I'm pretty sure I saw a squirrel. A very judgmental squirrel.
Day 2: Skiing: Humbling Experience (and a Near-Death Encounter with a Ski Lift)
- 08:00 - Wake up. To the sound of… silence. Except for the frantic hammering coming from the house next door. Apparently, someone's building a chalet. Which is my current mood; Building a chalet of stress
- 09:00 - Ski gear rental. I look like a complete dork in the ski boots. (In my defense, they're cripplingly uncomfortable). The rental guy, bless his soul, just smiles and nods. I swear he's hiding a chuckle behind his hand. "Good luck with the slopes!" (insert ominous music here).
- 10:00 - THE SLOPES. Oh boy. This is where the “humbling” part comes in. I'm not graceful. I'm not athletic. I'm… well, let's just say I spent a significant portion of the morning on my backside. I'm pretty sure I nearly took out a small child with a rouge snowboard. Sorry, kid!
- 12:00 - Lunch at a mountain hut. Seriously, the food here is amazing. Proper, hearty German fare. I think I ate my weight in Käsespätzle. The mulled wine, however, may have contributed to my later unplanned face-plant.
- 13:30 - Ski Lift Hell. Picture this: I get on the ski lift. I'm already terrified. I then proceed to get stuck. High up. For what felt like an eternity. Panicked thoughts ran through my head: “Will anyone miss me?” “Is this my last moment on earth?” “Will I finally gain abs whilst clinging to this rickety thing?” Eventually, the lift started again, and I clung on for dear life until I reached the top, where I promptly collapsed in a heap. After this "adventure" I decided to call it quits for the day. Maybe I should've stayed home and built my own chalet of Lego.
- 15:00 - Après-ski. More mulled wine, because, you know, the near-death experience. This time it’s slightly less chaotic. Enjoyed the view.
(Doubling Down: The Mountain Hut Mystique)
Okay, so about that mountain hut… the Käsespätzle was a revelation. It was a symphony of cheese. The aroma alone transported me to a place of pure, cheesy bliss. Then, there was the schnapps. Oh, the schnapps. I'm pretty sure I befriended a friendly, rosy-cheeked Austrian gentleman who regaled me with tales of his goat farm (or was it a cow farm?). I don’t remember the distinction. It was all a blur of good food, happy people, and questionable choices. The perfect example of a holiday that is a blur.
Day 3 & 4: Exploring, Drinking, and Possibly Making a Few Poor Life Choices
Day 3
- 09:00 - The best part of this trip, breakfast! The bread is crusty, the jam is sweet, and the coffee (even instant) is strong. This morning I decided to try making my own breakfast. The results were… less successful. Let’s just say the toaster should have come with a warning label.
- 10:00 - Hike. Well, more like a "gentle stroll" through the Black Forest. The trees are impressively tall. The air is crisp. I contemplate moving here and becoming a hermit.
- 12:00 - Lunch. Back to the mountain and once again, more Käsespätzle. It's an addiction.
- 14:00 - Exploring the little town. The church bells ring. I wandered the shops. Then I found a beautiful shop; I had to buy something. I opted for an old, but beautiful, wind chime.
- 17:00 - Enjoying some quality time with a book. The wind chime, however, is a bit too loud.
- 19:00 - Dinner at the holiday home. Made a fantastic soup. After this dinner I took out my journal and recorded my thoughts.
Day 4
- 09:00 - Same breakfast. It is an addiction (but I didn't burn the toast this time).
- 10:00 - Hike, again! But this time, up a mountain. It was hard, it was very cold, and I contemplated giving up so many times. But the view was worth it.
- 13:00 - More mountain food. This time, I tried a new mountain hut.
- 14:30 - A nap. Because I earned it.
- 18:00 - Dinner.
- 20:00 - Tried to assemble the board game I brought. Fail.
(Quirky observations and imperfections)
- The German word for "snowplow" seems unnecessarily complicated.
- I am pretty sure the squirrel is now actively mocking me.
- I bought a souvenir cuckoo clock and I have no idea how to make it work.
- I haven’t seen a cloud. Everything is either a sunny day or a snow day.
- I am getting a little bit of sun, despite the snow, which is very confusing to my brain.
(Emotional Reactions)
Okay, I'm gonna be honest. Sometimes, I miss my life. Sometimes, I feel like I'm a complete idiot. But then… the view. The Käsespätzle. The sheer, unadulterated weirdness of it all. It's… good. It's really good. Maybe even great. This is the kind of experience that makes you laugh, cry, and question your life choices all at once. And in the end, that's what makes it worthwhile.
Day 5: Departure & The Final Farewell (and the Urgent Need for a Detox)
- 09:00 - Breakfast. (You guessed it, same thing). The bread is crusty and the view is beautiful. One last look out the window and I can't help but be sad that it's ending.
- 10:00 - Pack. The packing process is far more graceful than my unpacking process.
- 11:00 - Clean. A deep clean is required to not be hated by the Airbnb hosts.
- 12:00 - Return the keys and leave. I left a note on the counter, with a short, "Danke
