  All the other reviewers were right - Burgi, her farm, and her chalet are the right choice for a place to stay near Salzburg. The only advice we would give is - get a rental car. We were there in December with lots of rain and it would have been miserable to be walking back and forth to the train station in the mud. We had at first worried that taking a car into Salzburg would be a hassle but Burgi had all the tips we needed to make it a stress-free event. The chalet was clean and well-maintained with a continual supply of firewood to keep us toasty. As others mention, the food delivered for breakfast (for a small fee) was wonderful - I am going through bacon withdrawal as I write this! The beds were comfortable, good supplies in the kitchen, good water pressure and hot water. The only items we would improve on (which are not really possible) would be to not have the bathroom right by the entrance (we spent time cleaning up muddy boot prints to keep us from having mud on our socks when we went into the bathroom) and having a washer/dryer in the chalet (they were in a building nearby). But overall, we would definitely return and are very thankful that Burgi opened her farm to us.

  This is the loveliest place to stay. The cottages are beautiful and finished to an extremely high standard, with everything you could possibly need or want Even the fridge was stocked with fresh homemade nibbles so you didn't have to race out straight away and buy anything. Anything you wanted for breakfast was delivered to your door fresh first thing in the morning. Burgi our host was fantastic, nothing is too much trouble for her and her family. Austrian hospitality is alive and well here, you don't get this in hotels. Nothing has been overlooked with regard to guests comfort.

  Paradise on earth. A very beautiful place, shiny, super nice hospitality. Located in a beautiful area and just a few minutes from Salzburg. We will look for it on our next trip to Tirol and recommend it to our friends and family.

  We just returned from a wonderful time at these cabins!! The cabins are charming and have all the comforts of home. Not too big, not too small, these cabins are perfect for our family of 5. We arrived to a cozy fire in the fireplace and fresh, organic eggs, meats and juice for breakfast the next morning. Burgi is a wonderful hostess and was eager to make sure all our needs were met. The children enjoyed seeing and petting the animals immensely - feeding the goats was their favorite thing. The cabins are close to Salzburg (10 or so minutes), and Berchtesgaden (Eagle's Nest, Salt Mines, etc., 30 mins by car). The children are already asking when we can return.

  When I first saw the pictures of this place, I fell in love. I was afraid it wouldn’t live up to my expectations, but it surpassed them by far! Our whole family loved staying on the farm. We made friends with the cats and goats, and checked out the chickens, ducks, bunnies, pigs, and cows. After a day of sightseeing it was so nice to come home to our own cabin. We would spend the evening walking around the farm, saying hello to the animals, and admiring the beautiful garden. If you can, stay over a weekend, so you can experience their wonderful restaurant. On Sat and Sun evening, we just walked down the small path to the cozy restaurant and sat down on one of the outdoor tables for dinner. The food was homemade, from the farm, inexpensive, and delicious! We had fun sampling the different ciders and beers. Each evening, Burgi would ask us what we needed for breakfast, and fresh eggs, bread, milk, butter, cheese, or bacon would appear on our door. Burgi charges very little for these organic ingredients. Burgi also makes wonderful jam. I bought some to take home. The cabin itself had everything we needed. We easily cooked a nice breakfast each morning before we headed out for the day. Burgi answered all our travel questions. From Hallwang we visited Hallstatt, Neuschwanstein, Linderhof Palace, and of course Salzburg. The Neuschwanstein day was long, but it was worth it to be able to stay at one place for several days. From our whole trip to Europe, Hallwang is the one place we want to return. The area was beautiful, and it was just so relaxing on the farm. I can’t say enough about Burgi. She made our stay! In terms of amenities, the kitchen had everything we needed, and the shower was nice and hot. We loved the table in the kitchen with the built in bench for breakfast. There is also a table outside the front door if you prefer to eat outdoors. We enjoyed a cup of tea on the outdoor table. Burgi even provides tea! The Wifi worked really well, and we were able to do laundry. There is both a washer and dryer! The beds were very comfortable, and we enjoyed the view from the balcony. Stay with Burgi on the farm. She’ll make your vacation!

  We spent Easter week at Burgi's amazing chalet and it was superb. We had no car but it was an easy 10 minute train ride to Hallwang station from Salzburg (one train per hour) and then a leisurely 10 minute stroll through the woods to reach the chalet. Burgi's welcome was exceptionally warm and friendly and she delivered fresh eggs, milk, bacon and cheese to our door every morning. The apple juice, schnapps and cider are also highly recommended! The children (aged 9, 12 and 15) loved the farm and we could visit the animals whenever we wished. The chalet was warm, comfortable, clean and very well equipped. The village is in walking diatnce too, with a restaurant and beautiful church. We will definitely be back.

  Ein Ferienhaus das Gemütlichkeit ausstrahl, blitzsauber ist und so liebevoll im Detail eingerichtet ist, gibt es nicht so oft. Es war Anfang Dezember und kalt draußen, Burgi die Hausherrin hatte schon eingeheizt, es war wohlig warm, im Kühlschrank war eine gute Brotzeit mit selbstgemachtem Apfelsaft, Most und Marmelade, es standen Brötchen auf dem Tisch und Äpfel, es ging uns das Herz auf bei soviel Gastlichkeit. Ich könnte noch so einiges berichten, aber das Sprengt den Rahmen. Wir machen das nächste Mal ganz sicher länger Urlaub und das wissen wir jetzt schon, wir werden ihn in jeder Jahreszeit genießen. Ein herzliches Dankeschön von Sandra, Soraya, Michelle und Klein Sebastian

  Wie kann Ferien machen schöner sein ? Herzlichst wurden wir von Burgi und Familie empfangen, im Ofen prasselte ein warmes Feuer und der Kühlschrank war mit einem Auszug der leckeren Köstlichkeiten gefüllt, die beim Lenzenbauern erworben werden können. Nie habe ich eine saubere Ferienwohnung gesehen, die so perfekt ausgestattet war wie diese. Wir werden diese Ferien so schnell nicht vergessen. Noch etwas zur Lage - es stimmt wirklich - nur 10 Minuten bis Salzburg Innenstadt. Und trotz der Nähe zu der Großstadt ist man wirklich auf dem Land - außer dem Muhen der Kühe, dem Schnattern der Gänse und dem Quaken der Frösche ist nichts zu hören. Natur pur eben.... Ich empfehle diese Ferienwohnung unbedingt weiter und kann mir gut vorstellen, dass es auch im Winter dort sehr reizvoll ist. Liebe Burgi - gerne kommen wir wieder, wenn es sich ergibt. Bis dahin alles Liebe und Gute !!!!

  The chalet exceeded our expectations - comfortable, roomy, up to date, well-equipped and in an excellent location on an organic farm ten minutes drive from Salzburg. The accommodation would suit families with younger children who would enjoy the farm but I suspect lively teenagers would not enjoy the peace and quiet! We enjoyed looking round the farm and seeing the animals. The owner was very friendly and helpful. Between us - my halting German and her excellent English we communicated well. Our family of four adults stayed in the chalet using it as a base to explore Salzburg - its links to The Sound of Music, and its culture. We loved the city and spent hours in the Altstadt. We also went to Berchtesgarten, the Salzkammergut, up cable cars and on a boat. Because of its rural location, we would recommend visitors have their own transport. Driving around was easy and parking in Salzburg was fine. We found plenty of reasonable places to eat and drink as well as several supermarkets nearby. We also enjoyed the ham, eggs, butter and juice produced on the farm. A fantastic holiday and we would love to go again.

  Sehr angenehme und familiäre Atmosphäre, sehr freundliche Vermieterfamilie, viele Bio Produkte ab Hof, Fewo Ausstattung lässt keinerlei Wünsche offen, romantisch mit gemütlichem Holzkachelofen; günstig gelegen für Ausflüge nach Salzburg, Salzkammergut, umliegende Seen etc. Wir würden auf alle Fälle wieder kommen!
