More than just an accommodation: Why Raus is the Airbnb alternative you've been looking for!

Anyone who has ever searched for a unique Airbnb in a special setting knows that tingling feeling: the quiet longing for calm, for simplicity, for a place that truly feels like arriving. Not a hotel with long hallways and anonymous room numbers, but a place that welcomes you – a place where you can be curious, free, and connected with nature. This is exactly where Raus comes in, offering a mindful alternative: a retreat that inspires, touches, and simply feels good.

Our cabins are deliberately minimalist and reduced to the essentials – everything you need is there, and anything unnecessary stays outside. With up to 18 square meters, they are compact yet thoughtfully designed: small sanctuaries where you can instantly unwind. The bed, with its soft linens and warm day blanket, invites you to relax deeply and dream of the day’s adventures. In the open living and dining area, you can settle in comfortably while large windows open up to nature and let the light pour in. When it gets cooler outside, the interior becomes wonderfully cozy – in front of the crackling wood stove, you feel the warmth like a comforting embrace and can let the evening gently come to an end.

This creates an appealing Airbnb alternative for everyone looking for more than just a roof over their head. Free from distraction, noise, and pressure, our cabins offer comfort and warmth – and, at the same time, an invitation to leave the city behind, immerse yourself in nature, and truly relax. Here, there is space for conversations by the fire, quiet moments, or mindful breathing, along with opportunities to explore the surroundings: hiking, cycling, or meditating in the greenery. In the end, it’s all about this: rediscovering serenity, sharpening your awareness for what’s been forgotten, breathing in the fresh air, hearing the sounds of the forest, and simply… being.

Experiences & Extras: More than just an overnight stay

At Raus, your stay doesn’t end at the door of your cabin – it truly begins there. You don’t have to think of anything: from regional breakfasts and lovingly curated snack packages to small surprises like a bottle of wine or fresh flowers – everything can be easily added to your booking. Those who want to actively experience nature can meet fluffy alpacas, go on canoe tours, join herb walks, or immerse themselves in the silence of the forest through guided forest bathing sessions. Some locations are situated near idyllic farms or picturesque vineyards, where you can get a closer look at rural life, observe animals, or taste local products.

For creative moments, there are workshops and DIY kits available directly in your cabin – from bread baking to pottery. With our audio and video guides, you can explore the surroundings at your own pace, enjoy meditations in nature, or experience the starry sky. Those seeking a true digital detox will find everything they need in some of our cabins to go completely offline and focus inward: yoga mats, books, games, and lovingly curated offline kits help bring both body and mind to rest.

These special extras turn your stay into a fully relaxing and inspiring experience – far more than a classic Airbnb, a true alternative that perfectly combines relaxation, adventure, and mindful moments."

Many ways to discover a piece of nature

Sometimes you simply long for a place that’s different – a sanctuary that brings peace, makes freedom tangible, and gently awakens the senses. Whether it’s charming Airbnbs surrounded by nature or special spots by the water, in forests, or in the countryside, there are countless alternatives to leave everyday life behind and experience true moments of rest.

Airbnb alternatives near farms – rediscovering rural calm

If you’re looking for an Airbnb on a farm, you’re dreaming of open spaces, nature, and authentic rural living. Our countryside cabins near idyllic farms offer exactly that – only more intensely, more consciously, and as a genuine alternative to typical accommodations. Surrounded by lush meadows, fruit trees, and fields, you’ll feel the rhythm of nature. In the morning, you might wake to the scent of fresh grass, the soft mooing of cows, or birdsong. You can walk barefoot through the grass, gaze across the fields, or sit on the porch and take in the vastness. This turns a classic farm stay into a little retreat full of calm and deceleration. Each cabin is positioned to give you a private connection with nature, with only a handful of neighbors who appreciate the place as much as you do. It’s the perfect spot to rediscover how country life sounds, tastes, and smells.

Airbnb alternatives in nature – feeling free, finding peace

An Airbnb far from the city invites you to switch off, breathe deeply, and reconnect with yourself. At Raus, nature isn’t just a backdrop – it becomes part of the experience. Whether you wander across meadows, enjoy the stillness by the lakeshore, or explore paths between fields and forests, every cabin gives you the freedom to leave the everyday behind. You feel the sun on your skin, hear the hum of insects, watch the dance of light and shadows in the breeze – and notice how body and mind begin to settle. Raus is a true alternative to traditional Airbnbs and offers a nature getaway that lets you be free and entirely yourself.

Airbnb alternatives by the sea – water, space, and wonder

You’re longing for a relaxing break by the North or Baltic Sea, with the wind in your hair and seagulls gliding above? All too often, that dream ends in crowded hotels, impersonal Airbnbs, and beaches shared with many others. That’s hardly the peace you imagined. With Raus, you can experience the coast in your own unique way. Our cabins are nestled in picturesque coastal landscapes, set among dunes, meadows, and quiet bays. Surrounded by the sound of the waves, the salty sea air, and the wind on your skin, you can truly arrive. It’s a genuine alternative for exhaling, letting go, and finding balance.

Airbnb alternatives in the forest – silence that touches

Hidden among trees, moss, and the scent of damp wood, some of our cabins lie deep within the forest. You hear the rustle of leaves, the movement of small animals, and the wind whispering through the branches. Every step on the soft forest floor slows you down; every glance out the window helps you breathe easier. For anyone seeking an authentic alternative to a typical Airbnb, our forest cabins offer a place of arrival. Here, staying in the woods becomes an experience for all the senses – a spot where time itself seems to slow down, where you feel connected to nature, and where you can simply be.

Take a break from big city life in smart, sustainable cabins close to your home.
