Sustainability at Mettlen is mostly quiet. It looks like this:

● Green roof and balcony built to sit gently in the landscape
● Natural spring water from the hill, used throughout the apartment
● Wood for the soapstone fireplace that keeps the house naturally warm in winter
● Organic minded farming with happy horses and sheep with space to roam
● BBQ area with granite benches for up to 10 people under the sky
● Herb garden with lavender, basil, oregano and mint for guests
● All natural and ecological bathing and cleaning products

It is a place for long evenings, shared meals and star watching,as well as a place that thinks about the land under its feet while you relax.

Today’s weather report from Mettlen.

One line of Scottish Blackface sheep, a snowy hill, frosty evergreens and a very serious march to… more snacks.

Farm life here is mostly this - quiet, a bit silly and very scenic.

Save this for the next time you need a tiny bit of sheep therapy.

While cities count fireworks and taxis, our New Year’s Eve looked more like hoofprints in fresh snow and quiet fields around Mettlen.

The Icelandic horses are out in their winter coats, the hills are calm, and the house is warm and hand built on the hill behind the camera.

Here is to more slow weekends, more fresh air, and more time with the people you love in the year ahead.

From our little corner of the Black Forest to wherever you are.
Happy New Year.

Merry Christmas from Mettlen 🎄

Today the hills are quiet, the sheep are soft silhouettes in the fields and the house feels extra cosy. Whether you are celebrating with a full table or keeping it simple this year, we wish you slow mornings, warm rooms and the kind of calm you can feel in your shoulders.

Thank you to everyone who has stayed with us, asked about the farm, patted a horse nose, or dreamt up a future retreat here. It means a lot that this hand built place is part of your stories.

From our little corner of the Black Forest to wherever you are. Merry Christmas and a peaceful holiday season.

This is where the Black Forest follows you indoors.

At Mettlen, the bathtub sits under a wide window so you can soak while you look out over hills, fields and the farm.

The bathroom is hand built with simple luxury in mind.
• Natural materials and soft light
• Spring water and eco friendly products
• Space to actually slow down after a long hike or workshop

It is one of those small moments that makes a group trip feel like a real break, not just a change of scenery.

Save this post for the next time you need a bath with a view instead of a rushed shower.
