Guests highlight the welcoming and devoted staff, whose genuine hospitality enhances the relaxed vibe surrounded by nature. A hearty breakfast buffet fuels mornings before peaceful days spent hiking, swimming, or enjoying the lakeside environment.

What travelers say
A snapshot of guest ratings and stories behind the stay.
“Super, wenn man den Scharm von Ferienlagern mag. Super Personal, die Einrichtung mit echtem DDR-Scharm, die Gegend herrlich. Absolut Familien- oder auch Vereinstauglich zu einem unschlagbaren Preis-Leistungs- Verhältnis. Bin da jedes Jahr mindestens 2 Mal über ein WE. Mein Favorit.”
“Wir waren mit unserer 40 köpfigen Truppe im Naturfreundehaus Üdersee untergebracht. Genau das Richtige für Klassenfahrten oder Dienstausflüge. Hier kann man die Seele in der wunderschönen Natur richtig baumeln lassen. Man ist hier wunderschön untergebracht, bei einem reichhaltigen Morgenbuffet. Es ist auf alle Fälle eine Weiterempfehlung wert. Daher 5 Sterne von mir. Danke nochmal für die einwandfreie und freundliche Art der Besitzer des Naturfreundehauses. Weiter so!”
“Sehr nette Gastgeber, schöne Natur, gutes Essen und die Zimmer sind auch schön , natürlich keine Jugendherberge, aber das erwartet man ja auch nicht.... Sehr empfehlenswert, bin jedes Jahr ein WE lang dort.”
“Wir organisieren einen Tangourlaub am Üdersee und sind begeistert vom Service und der Freundlichkeit der Gastgeber vom NFH. Wir können es nur empfehlen, Preis/Leistung stimmt hier. Und die Natur sowie der Üdersee sind natürlich phantastisch!”
“Wir durften dort schon einige Male mit unserem Chor wundervolle Stunden verbringen. Sehr schön gelegen, familienfreundlich und auf alle Fälle empfehlenswert!!!”
“immer wieder schön dort. wer auf alten ddr-charme steht und nicht den allermodernsten luxus haben muss wird sich hier sehr wohl fühlen. Die Küche würde ich als bodenständig bezeichnen ^^ das Personal besteht aus liebevollen originalen. Der see ist wunderschön und ruhig gelegen.”
