Gasthaus Dubkow Mühle

Wonderful

  : We had a great time staying at this quaint guest house. We took the RE2 train from just outside of Berlin, and as other reviews mentioned, a taxi is necessary to get from the Lubbenau train station to the guest house. (It was 30 euro total for 3 of us, and about a 45 minute ride.) We arrived before a few hours before check-in, around 10 am, to the surprise of the staff, (I wanted to arrive early to make the most of the whole day). Even though our rooms weren't ready, we were able to store our luggage and the staff helped us get bikes to ride into the town. Note, only a couple of people on the staff speak English, and I don't think the locals see a lot of US tourists, but we appreciated the help we were given. We got the bikes for the whole day and later, the owner/manager assisted us with a canoe and also made us a dinner reservation. My favorite part of our stay was the incredible dinner!! It was an idyllic guesthouse, right on the water. I would highly recommend this place.
  : As I expected, few people in Spreewald speak English, so be prepared with necessary phrases or else you'll have locals looking at you with confusion. Also, the rooms are nice and clean, but they are pretty small and ours did not look like the pictures. It was a bit more generic hotel-looking, which was fine by me. We had a lovely view of the water and could hear it trickling nicely outside of our window at night. Although, the cows next door begin mooing early in the morning, so be prepared for that.

Very Good
