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.

We stayed at the Tiny House, which was not only super cute but also very comfortable and had everything we needed for a perfect weekend.
The place is amazing — nestled in the mountains and close to the lake, it felt like being in a fairy tale.
The kitchen is fully equipped, so we could cook easily — they even provide herbs, oil, and salt.
I would definitely come back to Chalet am Sonnenhang without a doubt!

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

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.

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. 😊

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.

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.
