Fireplace
There is an electric fireplace in the Eifeler Stube (living room). The original house had no fireplace. We installed an electric fireplace during the renovation works to provide a romantic atmosphere in the room. You can dim the flames simulation. The fireplace also has a colorful LED backlight that gives the wall an attractive, colourful accent. With a simple push of the button, you can control the electric fan heater (with a power of 2000 watts), so the room gradually fills with extra heat.
Fire protection
The complete house complies with the fire protection legislation:
– The kitchen area has fireproof doors.
– There are ample fire extinguishers present.
– Signs show emergency exits and/or measures.
– There are three emergency telephones (in case your cell phone is empty or has no connection).
Flipchart

♣ The guests bring along their flipchart markers and whiteboard markers.
Flooring
Downstairs has the original flooring in most places, except for the toilet area, the wet room and the downstairs bedroom. Upstairs has the original wooden flooring with some renovated patches. Because the wood is probably pine, it is too weak to be left bare. Therefore, we have covered it with new appropriate flooring. For hygienic purposes, we have chosen flooring which is cleans easily and hardly gathers dust.
Food
The guests bring along their own foodstuffs and drinks. They can also go to local restaurants, tea rooms and pubs.
Forests
The Dojo-Haus combines the best of two worlds: the centre of a village and a short distance to 360° nature. Choose whatever direction, you will soon see wonderful views or smell delightful forests.
Freezer
The kitchen has a 45 liter freezer. There is a new fridge with an even bigger freezer compartment in the Dojo-Bar.

The Dojo-Haus has two central heating circuits: the Dojo-Saal (big hall) and the the rest of the house. The central heating is programmed to switch on and off at the beginning and end of your stay. Use the radiator buttons and the Dojo-Saal heating instructions to adapt the heating to your needs. The laminated checklist above the information table in the entrance hall contains the details. It is normal – especially in the winter months – that the radiators remain open when leaving the Dojo-Haus. For example, in this way, the pre-programmed app can ensure that the temperature is comfortable when the cleaning team comes and a few hours before new guests arrive.

Style
The Dojo-Haus is an Eifel house that was renovated by the Vansteenland-De Baets family in 2015 and 2016. The style consists of, among other things, natural stone from the Belgian Eifel, bluestone from the Schieferstollen in Recht and wood from the Flemish village of Lembeke. The living area is Eifel style in a modern jacket. The Dojo-Saal found inspiration in the Far East.

Zen garden
There is a zen garden with a cosy zen corner on the mezzanine of the Dojo-Saal. Because the indoor garden does not get much daylight, it is difficult to use real plants. However, we have tried to give it as much zen garden radiation as possible. This quiet corner offers seats, books and the like.Dojo-Haus, Weiherstraße 2
