Winner stories

1.  Place - Nancy

Our little getaway at Van der Falk Resort Linstow – and why we definitely want to come back ❤️ Some places are just more than a vacation destination. For us, Van der Valk Resort Linstow is exactly such a place – a piece of home for a time, full of memories, laughter, and very special moments.
We've been there so often – and yet every time feels like the first time.
Whether it's a spontaneous day in the warm water, while everyday life waits outside... Whether it's a fun evening at the bowling alley, where we laughed until we cried... Whether it's an exuberant schlager party, where we could forget everything around us... Or a cozy brunch, where we sat together for hours without looking at the clock... The resort has given us so many little moments of happiness.
What remains particularly in our memory is a long weekend just for us – Ulfi and I. Just getting away, breathing, having time for each other. Walks, good food, conversations deep into the night. This peace... this arriving... it's unforgettable.
And then there was our very special Christmas 🎄✨
We just wanted to do everything differently – no stress, no hustle. So we quickly packed up the whole family:
Kilian and Helene, Tizian, Ulfi and I, our grandma Mimi – and of course, our faithful companion Desmond couldn't be missing 🐾
It was a Christmas full of warmth, laughter, and togetherness.
We ate, played, laughed together, and simply enjoyed the time. No obligations – just us as a family. Exactly what really matters.
And that’s exactly why this place means so much to us.
The Van der Valk Resort Linstow is not just a resort for us.
It's a place where memories are made.
A place where you come to rest.
A place you always want to return to.
And that's exactly why we would be so delighted to experience this happiness once more.
Maybe even again with the whole family – because the best moments are the ones you share ❤️ Our little getaway – maybe soon again… 🥰

 

2.   Place - Helene

Our most beautiful holiday story 🥰 Sometimes the most beautiful memories arise just when you simply want to come to rest... This was the case for us over Christmas at the Van der Valk Resort Linstow. This year we wanted to do everything differently – no stress, no cooking, no obligation. Just time together. ❤️ So Nancy & Ulfi quickly invited everyone: our sons Kilian and Tizian, our lovely daughter-in-law Helene, our dear grandma Mimi – and of course, our faithful companion Desmond couldn't be missing. 🐾 Even upon arrival, there was something special in the air. Everything was festively decorated, warm, cozy... and somehow it immediately felt like home – just without all the Christmas stress. The days were filled with exactly the moments you often wish for but rarely experience so intensely: laughing together, long breakfasts without time pressure, walks with Desmond in the fresh air, and always this feeling of "how nice that we are together". Watching Kilian and Helene especially was just heartwarming. So much love, so much lightness – exactly what Christmas is all about. ✨ In the evenings, we all sat together, talked, laughed, and cherished the time as best as we could. No gift could have been more valuable than these shared hours. And eventually, we realized: it's not the big things that make Christmas special... but the people you spend it with. This Christmas at the Van der Valk Resort Linstow was more than just a vacation for us – it was a gift for the heart. 💛

3.   Place – Christina

A few years ago, I went on holiday with my kids at your vacation house. As a single mom, it was my first vacation in a long time. My children made friends with the kids from the holiday home opposite and played together every day. As it turned out, a single dad with his 2 kids was vacationing there. It didn’t take long before we started doing things together with the kids, went to the swimming pool, ate ice cream, rode pedal cars, and grilled on the terrace together in the evening. It was a wonderful holiday, and from the two teams of three, we became one big "us." We are now married and a large, happy blended family. At your place, you can not only have a great holiday but also find happiness.
