Description

Just some of the things our recent guests who don't want a Facebook account have said:

June 2012 - We would recommend anyone to go and enjoy the house, Booking, locating the house and getting keys all great as was the overall condition of the house including beds and bedding, kitchen, bathroom, facilities, amenities and customer service. Good value for money and we can only recommend it. What did we like the best? - the view. What did we like the least? - leaving.
Moira and Les Thornhill (UK)

May 2012 - The time at your house was wonderful. It is like no other in that it felt like being at home from the start and we really look forward to coming again. The peace and quiet and the beautiful landscape meant everything about our stay was really relaxing and we would have liked to have stayed there longer. Thank you for the lovely accommodation. Ja, Ihr Haus ist wirklich mit keinem anderen Ferienhaus zu vergleichen. Mann fühlt sich sofort wie zu Hause! - Sibylle Küpper (Germany)

New Year 2011/12 - This property was the perfect venue for our family's New Year's holiday to celebrate a 60th birthday. It was just what we wanted. The views were awesome, and it was a great base to explore the local area where we were spoilt for choice of things to keep us entertained. We can't wait to go back and see the rest of the massive list of sights we wanted to see. It was a perfect winter destination, and we didn't even make it to the slopes! But there was plenty to make it perfect for the summer too. We'd definitely go back! David was very helpful and friendly and a joy to do business with! - Sarah Kelsey and family (Germany)

July 2011-Wow, what a great place you have in Altmunster! After reading the information in your ad and the comments of former guests, we expected a beautiful spot but this really exceeded our expectations! If friends of us are looking for a place to stay in Austria, we will surely recommend your house!

Set in its own grounds on a south facing hillside with uninterrupted views over Lake Traunsee and the Alps and yet only five/ten minutes from the lakeside towns of Altmunster and Gmunden with their wide range of restaurants and shops, the house is fully centrally heated and has three bedrooms, a large lounge/diner, a very well equipped breakfast kitchen with dishwasher, a bathroom with underfloor heating and a laundry room with washing machine,

The house has been extensively renovated and is comfortably furnished, well equipped and has two south-facing sun terraces offering 'views to die for' (see 'Guest Book').

A reasonably priced, locally renowned, restaurant is only five minutes walk away for those occasions when you just don't want to cook with numerous restaurants and cafe houses in the local towns and on the lakeside.

We have set the house occupancy at a comfortable/spacious 6 but there is a sofa-bed in the lounge plus two fold-out matresses which then allows for flexibility for up to 8 guests.

Bedroom one - double bed plus cot (plus two further fold-out matresses if required)
Bedrooms two and three - two single beds in each.

There is parking for two/three cars and lots of space in the garden for children to be children.

With lots to see and do within one hour's radius of the house, Grasberg offers a perfect winter and summer holiday location for every age group and taste.

Further details

We lived in the area for eight years before returning to the UK in 2001. We know the area like the proverbial 'back of your hand' and If you need any help with local knowledge or bookings/reservations in German, just ask us. We're only too pleased to help.

“Absolutely charming...”

Reviewed 19 Mar 2013

Quiet, peaceful location and yet just a short drive to amenities and restaurants. Awesome view of the valley. Kept my husband very busy capturing shots of the amazing surrounding landscape which appeared to be constantly changing with the sunshine, snow, sunrise and sunset. Great location to base your vacation as many places of interest are just easy drives away. Well heated. This is a house with character - it simply grows on you.

“Great house in a fantastic location, with amazing views, just great!”

Reviewed 28 Feb 2013

A really nice house in a great location with stunning views, the six of us visited in February while it was still snowing, there was plenty of room in the house which was clean and tidy with a very well equiped kitchen, the road up the hill to the house is winding and can be tricky to navigate in the snow but with winter tyres or chains not a problem just adds to the excitement of the experience, and the sledging in the garden down the hill side is brilliant fun! A great base to travel from to see the surrounding sites or just stay in and admire the views of the mountains and lake below! We'd love ot come back in the spring or summer and wouldn't hesitate to stay here again, thoroughly recommend it! Thank you David and family.

“Lovely house with amazing views”

Reviewed 11 Aug 2011

We stayed in this lovely house for 2 weeks and had a very relaxing time - very well equipped with everything we needed. The views from the house are outstanding and the house is in a quiet location yet only 5 minutes drive from shops, lake etc.We made good use of the Strandbad swimming pool in Gmunden and also swam and used the dinghy in the lake.Lots of lovely walks in the surrounding area. We visited the saltmine at Halstatt and a High Ropes course at Altaussee (about an hours drive away and quite hard to find but well worth it and good value).

Response from the owner Many thanks for your very kind comments about the house and your appreciation. We're delighted that you had such a great time at the house and having owned it for a number of years, we know that it is in a 'jewel' of a location - 'Better than the photos!'- as a previous guest once said. Do visit again and we hope that others discover it as well.

“Lakes, moutains and beautiful scenery”

Reviewed 7 Jun 2011

We enjoyed out stay here so much the previous year we came back in August 2010. This is a lovely property with all of the facilites you need to enjoy a holiday (in our case with our two sons). The house is on a hillside above the lake with beautiful views across to the moutain over Gmunden town. We found the area very friendly and relaxing with opportuniities to swim and sit by the lakes and to climb the hills, as well as to sight see the saltmines, the towns and access the mountains via cablecars. Salzberg was an easy drive and well worth a visit. We have already recommneded the property to friends (who have booked to stay this summer) and we hope to go back again ourselves soon.
