About us
Welcome to paradise by the lake.
The story of a family, a piece of land in the Eifel — and the idea of sharing this happiness with others.
"This happiness, this breathtaking view and this calm — we want to share it with others."

Agi & Jürgen Skatulla — your hosts
Our story
What started as a holiday feeling became a life project.
We are the Hirtz and Skatulla family — a lively, open-minded family living together across three generations under one roof in Aachen. A few years ago we came to Rieden for the first time, just as holidaymakers.
But the harmonious atmosphere, the untouched nature and the hospitality enchanted us so completely that we wanted to create our own retreat here. When we found a suitable plot right next to the lake, the decision was made: this happiness has to be shared.
Construction began in 2014, and in 2015 we opened the doors of Ferienhaus Eifelgold. Since then we've welcomed guests from all over Germany — and we still feel a small joy every time someone leaves with a smile.
We wish you joy, rest and unforgettable moments at the lake. Warmly, Agi & Jürgen
