A lovely home ideally situated close to slopes with a brilliant view

I had a wonderful time staying in this very spacious home, everything was great, booking was easy, I made a few changes that were accommodated for and responses were very prompt. The group arrived in sparse groups but we this was accommodated for and even though I was not present there was no issues and we managed to arrange for the first group to gain access. A number of things that should be advertised that were not, the garage fits two large cars, which suited us perfectly. The drive was cleared by the local plough driver at around 0930 (when required) which meant we were able to leave and arrive at the slope (which is only a 5 minute drive away) at a decent time in the morning. Alex and Lucy were always very polite when I had enquires and provided a very informative pack (by email) prior to arrival. Thanks so much for having us and I'm sure if I am back in the area I'll be contacting you again.

A fantastic stay in a big, spacious, family house

I fell in love with the house. It was spacious, clean and very well equipped. The arrangement of rooms was effective for family living and enough room for adults and children alike. The quietness and solitude with the amazing views made it all the more special. Perfectly situated at the edge of the village which was delightful full. The views and scenery were breathtaking and the sounds of the trickling stream provided a very relaxed way of life. The house was well equipped and the rooms decorated to a good standard and made to feel extremely homely. The kitchen was lovely and sociable and it was lovely to be able to eat and have breakfast I. The same room. The balcony was large enough to offer alternative dining facilities and in the midst of summer it was a pleasant end to a day. As the sun went down many night were spent star gazing! Both bathrooms had effective showers which offered plenty of hot water and great pressure. The owners had spent time making sure their guests were fully catered for and lots of information and brochures were available for viewing. Overall it was a fantastic holiday with as much to do in the summer as the winter skiing season. There are plenty of local attractions and the house is perfectly situated to explore the region as and when we wanted to.

Eime Woche Erholung

Wir waren das erste Mal in dieser Unterkunft. Das Haus liegt sehr ruhig an einem Bach. Besonders gut hat uns die grosse Terasse mit Blick auf die Berge gefallen. Insgesamt ist es etwas in die Jahre gekommen und könnte an der ein oder anderen Stelle renoviert werden. Der Empfang von Sepp war herzlich und unkompliziert. In der Nähe gibt es viel zu erleben. Das Naturbad war unser Highlight.

Sehr viel Platz

Wir hatten eine sehr schöne Zeit: Erwachsene und Kinder haben es genosssen, so viel Platz zu haben. Die große Terrasse war auch herrlich in der Sonne für groß und klein. Und sehr praktisch ist der große Waschraum im Erdgeschoß, in dem man Schuhe und nasses Gewand gut unterbringen kann. Dass einiges in dem Haus schon recht in die Jahre gekommen ist, hat uns nicht gestört. Einfach zu verbessern wäre aber Folgendes: Mehr Haken oder Stangen in den Badezimmern für Handtücher, sowie Haken, Regale und auch Tische in den Zimmern wären praktisch. Es gibt wenig Platz, wo man Dinge verstauen kann. Auch in der Küche oder im Ess- und Wohnzimmer sind die meisten Laden und Schränke voll. Aber wir haben uns arrangiert und waren mit unserem Aufenthalt und der Betreuung durch Sepp sehr zufrieden.

Wir waren mit 3 Familien in diesem sehr geräumigen Haus und haben uns sehr wohl gefühlt. Alles was man benötigt ist vorhanden. Die Betreuung durch den Hausverwalter Sepp war sehr zuvorkommend und zuverlässig. Ausflugsziele und Wanderungen sind zahlreich vorhanden, mit der Gästekarte auch einige Rabatte möglich. Ausdrückliche Empfehlung!

Fijne grote woning, wel enigszins verouderd

Het is een fijne ruime woning voor een grote groep mensen. De ski bus stopt vlakbij maar het lopen naar de piste is zeker ook te doen. Het is een mooi gebied om met de familie te gaan skiën. Er is weinig apres ski aan het einde van de dag, maar daar kiezen wij dan ook niet voor. De woning zelf is fijn maar wel verouderd. Dit mocht bij ons de pret niet drukken, echter is het wel fijn als de veiligheid niet uit het oog wordt verloren. Zelf de douchekop op eenvoudige wijze gerepareerd zodat deze opgehangen kon worden. Ondanks melding vorig jaar geen vernieuwing(en) van badkamer. We komen zeker terug.

Eine tolle Woche im gemütlichen Ferienhaus

Kommunikation mit Vermieter vorbildlich. Check-in Top! Danke Sepp. Lage perfekt- 2 min mit Auto zur Liftstation. 5 min zu Fuss zum nächsten Restaurant. Haus mit genügend Platz für 3 Familien a 4 Personen. Die Einrichtung ist zwar in die Jahre gekommen. Das hat uns aber nicht wirklich gestört. Der Teppich im oberen Bad sollte vielleicht mal entfernt werden (ziemlich retro;)). Sitzkissen im Essensraum unbedingt mal tauschen. Das ist aber weniger Kritik eher als Hinweis zu verstehen, da wir uns sehr wohl gefühlt haben. Preis-Leistungsverhältnis trotzdem super. Wir kommen gerne wieder.

Spacious and comfortable house near to the ski resort

Great stay for a skiing week in this house. It was very spacious place with many bedrooms, separate eating room, big kitchen and lounge. In the ground floor there are laundry room and huge garage for two cars. It is also place, where you can store all the skiing equipment.The host Alex is very kind and communicative. Neighbour Sepp is also very friendly and "happy2help" person. If you'd like to spend great holidays, definitely go to that place!

Schönes Haus leider in die Jahre gekommen

Erste Anzeichen zur Renovierung waren die neuen Fenster. Leider scheint dann ein Renovierungsstopp gekommen zu sein. Das Inventar, die Möbel und Böden bedürfen dringends eine Erneuerung. Die Beschreibung 3 Bäder passt auch nicht, es sind ein Wannenbad mit WC, ein Bad mit Dusche und Waschbecken und eine separates WC. Sepp der Betreuer des Hause ist sehr nett und Hilfsbereit. Die Nähe zur Liftstation ist für Familien mit kleinen Kindern Topp. Sollte diese Haus mal renoviert sein könnte mann es mit ruhigem Gewissen empfehlen.

A nice spacious house and fairly central.

A house that still needs some love regarding modernization. There were some old chairs, a shower enclosure secured with duct tape. No shower wall on the bath, so with a large group often dependent on 1 bathroom. Nevertheless, we would like to come back here again. Lovely spacious house, central location, nice host, excellent communication. Worth repeating. We also love this area for our family.

About the host

Hosted by Alex & Lucy Balls

Host profile image
We are both teachers in independent schools. We have three sons and the house is very much our holiday house. We have a love of the mountains, both for skiing and summer fun of walking, mountain biking, swimming in lakes etc etc (and, of course, climbing for Alex!).

Why they chose this property

The location, being on the outskirts of a traditional village but also so close to the lifts of the Dachstein West. The space inside also allows for everyone to get on with whatever they are doing without feeling too cramped.

What makes this property unique

A traditional house in the very friendly village of Russbach. It is in a quiet location but also only five hundred metres from the bottom of the nearest nearest slope and only one kilometre from the Hornbahn Ski Station. The house has plenty of space for two or more families to stay together without getting in each other's way. As for the summer, there is so much to do: active adventure in the mountains, fun for the children, culture in adundance or just relax and unwind on one of the balconies and admire the views!!!
