Sommerhaus Alt Jabel

Alt Jabel / Vielank, Mecklenburg-Vorpommern, Germany

In the Alt Jabel summer house, living history meets a deep connection with nature, craftsmanship and sustainable construction.

The over 150-year-old former parish widow's house was lovingly renovated over a period of five years, largely by the residents themselves – with the aim of creating a place that was not only preserved but also inspired.

The holiday apartment, which has been open to guests since 2025, is located in one half of the listed building and impresses with its exceptional indoor climate. Natural materials such as clay, lime, solid wood, and textiles made of wool, linen, and cotton create a pleasant atmosphere. Old floorboards, exposed timber framing, and historic furniture reflect the character of the house without sacrificing modern comforts. The furnishings: a mix of found, gifted, and homemade pieces – with the aim of being durable, beautiful, and meaningful.

A vast forest area with a rare active inland dune surrounds the small village. At night, a vast starry sky opens up, the likes of which are rarely seen these days. The summer house is not just accommodation, but also an expression of a spirit: ecological, artistic, and open to exchange. Host Dagmar, an artist and ceramicist, brings the project to life with her partner and their two children. Events on natural gardening, culture, and construction are planned to expand the offerings in the future. Additional spaces for creative formats are planned for the future – in the old stable or in the attic.
