We stayed in a 1 bedroom 3 story chalet and everything about it was wonderful. The area is charming and the host was absolutely delightful. Will be coming back next year for sure and will stay here for longer. Great \"base\" to explore the lake region of Vienna. Host provided basics in the refrigerator and lots of firewood for the cozy fire. She even brought us a huge bowl of ice for us to make drinks

We had a wonderful stay at Chalet am Sonnehang. We stayed two nights, one in the second floor apartment which was lovely and then switched to the “tiny house” so we could have a fire in the wood stove. Nestled in the cozy cabin at night with the warming fire was a perfect alpine experience in sleepy Obertraun away from the busyness and crowds in Hallstatt! We would highly recommend staying here. The hosts were exceptional and very helpful. 😊

Wonderful stay in a lovely chalet

We had an absolutely wonderful stay here. A chalet with a lot of character. Clean and comfortable. Lovely kitchen. Obertraun is a lovely Alpine village away from the bustle of Hallstatt. Ideal for those looking to stay in a quiet place and engage in outdoor activities like hiking, cycling etc. in the surrounding areas. Very responsive and competent management.

Cute place

The property was super cute,perfect for weekend away. The surrounding was very pretty. If you have small children or are elderly this propery is prob not right for you though, as there are a lot of steep steps.

Absolutely fabulous stay in a beautiful place

Absolutely fabulous stay. The apartment was in a beautiful location, surrounded by mountains. The sofa bed in the lounge worked great for our daughter and meant she had her own space. The bikes for use were so handy for a quick pedal down to the lake. I am so pleased we stayed here rather than Hallstatt. It was a great base to explore the area and we hope to visit again.

A slice of heaven!!

The Chalet is a13 minute walk from the Obertraun train station. It is an 8 minute walk to the bus to Hallstatt. Obertraun is a picturesque, peaceful village away from the crowds of Hallstatt. It has some 700 residents. There is a supermarket but restaurants are limited.

The property is beautiful ... surrounded
by mountains. It is impeccably maintained. The apartment was adorable and well outfitted. The owner provided water, orange juice, cofee and tea. She was also very helpful with directions and recommendations. The bed was comfortable, kitchen well equipped and bathroom spacious. I couldn't ask for nothing more!

I enjoyed waking up and seeing the sheep graze!!

I would highly recommend this Chalet!!

Loved this older house. It has been updated very nice and has all that you would need for several days. Older house so creaky floors and steep stairs but has lots of charm. Large shower & bathroom. Bed was comfortable. Beautiful views of the mountains. Lisa was very helpful and easy to work with.

Our stay at Chalet am Sonnenhang was delightful. It was a pleasure to meet Lisa and Gabbie, and it was clear that they take great pride in thieir property -- as they should -- because it is extraordinary!

The suite was very quiet, private, authentic & tastefully decorated, and provided for a very unique experience. The sauna was a nice added amenity, and simple enough that we could figure out how to use it without complications.

The grounds are charming, and well-maintained.

We highly recommend Chalet am Sonnenhang to future guests and hope to return, someday!

Wow. We stayed for one night outside of Hallstatt. What a beautiful apartment. Loved the espresso machine available and the freshest farm eggs you could ask for. It slept three of us well. We walked into Hallstatt (3.5 miles). It was a lovely and very easy walk to get to Hallstatt. But Obertraun had its own charm. Would definitely recommend in all aspects!!

We loved our short stay in this chalet. Absolutely beautiful Mountain Views out by the back garden. The host Lisa was very sweet checking us in. The home is very convenient to Hallstatt but offers a serene stay a few miles away from the touristy area. Also, it was nice to have parking on premises. Lisa also left us farm fresh eggs for breakfast. I’d highly recommend a stay here.

I LOVED this apartment. It was perfect. Clean. Great bed, bathroom and sauna. Heated floors in bathroom. Location was perfect to Hallstaat but Obertraun was a great town to visit unto itself. The host was very friendly. This is one of the best apartment type hotels I've ever stayed in. The mountainous area around this apartment is beyond stunning.

A peaceful retreat

After a long drive from Italy this was a wonderful place to call home. A lovely restaurant within walking distance, a grocery store, and a walk to the pier for the boat to Hallstatt. If a boat ride of 30 minutes does not suit you, a 10 minute taxi ride will. A small farm experience in a lovingly restored house...at the end of the day to come home to the quiet and security of Obertraun was wonderful. Lisa and Gabby could not have been more helpful or more kind to us during our stay. I highly recommend.

Our stay in Obertraum was the highlight of our trip to Austria. We walked in the neighboring valley, hung out in the hammocks and felt right at home with all the nature surrounding the warm and cozy farm style home. A short walk to the small ferry took us to must see neighboring sights. We were blessed by our stay!

We loved this property and the family that owned it was so nice and helpful! It exceeded our expectations and we will definitely return if we make it back to Austria. The room was large and very clean, the beds were comfortable and the bathroom was very large and very nice. The kitchen was also very nice and well stocked with everything you would need. WiFi also worked very well. The sheep outside were a nice addition. The location is perfect! Away from the crowds of Hallstatt but a very close drive or bike ride. The property was a 10 minute walk to Obertraun park which was very pretty right on the lake across from Hallstatt. You could take a boat to Hallstatt which was a beautiful ride.

This is a WONDERFUL place to stay just outside of Hallstatt, which is simply thronged with tourists. Excellent easy access to Hallstatt (village, salt mines and medieval charm) and also to the Five Fingers site at Dachstein. The owner was charming, and had coffee, cream and juice available for the morning. The chalet was welcoming, spacious, immaculate, and the nearby bakery was super. The terrace outside (with table and chairs) has a splendid view of the awe-inspiring Alps. I missed having a comfy chair in the sitting room, but everything else was so perfect that we would definitely return. We were traveling with our 9 year old granddaughter, who loved the owner's chickens/rooster, and the chalet had both a lovely Q bed and a full size bed for our granddaughter. Bathroom was excellent. We were all delighted with this choice.

Adorable little rental just outside hallstatt

This was one of the most adorable places to stay. It's right outside hallstatt, and is a MUCH BETTER option than staying in hallstatt (Hallstatt is a tourist trap). They have hiking right outside the back door, and were so exceptionally welcoming that we thought of how great the place was for the rest of our trip.

My fiancé and I were traveling through Austria with an intention to visit Hallstatt (which we did & was beautiful), but we’re so happy to stay with our host Gabi. Everything was perfect from start to finish at this location. Great communication throughout our visit and she is an outstanding host making you feel at home. The location was great giving more of a local feel to the area and walking or biking distance to Hallstatt.Ammeneties were great, place was clean & nicely decorated, we cooked in the kitchen. GREAT STAY AND WOULD HIGHLY RECCOMEND!

Lovely, rustic setting but a poor night’s sleep.

When travelling around Austria for two weeks, we wanted to stay in a rustic Chalet and we found this lovely place online. It is situated in a very quiet village (if you are staying on a Wednesday and want to get around or eat out, your own transport will be beneficial as the shops and pub in the village are closed).

We stayed in the rear apartment of 3, which had a view of the farmland behind and the neighbouring working farm grounds.

The chalet is fully equipped with everything you need for a short or long stay and it was all very clean and modern. For the price, which was relatively high compared to everywhere else we stayed, we were surprised to see everything was kitted out with Ikea furniture and crockery. It was all very well assembled and modern but we were surprised at how generic it all was to say the exterior is so traditional.

A significant problem for me was how thick the pillow was. There was only one each, but it was so thick I ended up getting very little sleep and had a sore neck for the whole of the next day. Perhaps 2 slightly thinner pillows would be better to provide more of a range for guests.

The owner of the chalet was really lovely and she gave us plenty of tips when we arrived, including getting the small powered boat across to Hallstaat, which we would highly recommend.

If you are looking for a quiet break away from the hustle and bustle then I would recommend this Chalet. It was just a little pricey & the pillows need adjusting.
