Going am Wilden Kaiser chalets

Karl is such a cool host and the cabin is fabulous, highly recommended!

We travelled as a family of 3 (me, my wife and our 18 month old) to the Schönbacher late August for our summer holiday. On the day that we travelled from Munich of Hopfgarten, we did so via lake Konigsee (worth a visit if you're in the area). This took longer than expected so we gave the hosts a few hours notice that we would arrive later than expected and they very accommodating of this. Upon arrival we were given a tour of the chalet by the hosts. It was clear immediately that they have spent a huge amount of time improving and refurbishing the property to a very high standard. The ground floor is open plan, with a well equipped kitchen (we cooked every night), large dining area, cosy TV area and central wood burning fire place. The ground floor also has a large panoramic window overlooking the Hohe Salve mountain. Upstairs there are 3 bedrooms and modern bathroom. Outside there are extensive decked seating areas, sun loungers, a dining table, BBQ and sauna/hot tub for winter use. The chalet is located a very short drive from Hopfgarten in a secluded spot next to a small reservoir. There is a road that runs around the chalet and up into the hills but it's not really visible from the chalet and is generally a quiet road. We found plenty to do in the area, taking the Hohe Salve and Kitzbuhel gondolas up for a walk, exploring the local area, travelling to Speicher Zillergrundl (near Mayerhofen), Aurach wildlife park and on 2 wet days Innsbruck and Kufstein.

We've just returned from a lovely week in Going staying in this wonderful house. There were 6 of us, 4 adults & 2 kids, and we all had plenty of room to roll around. Loved the games room and hot tub. My husband would pop out to get us fresh bread each morning from the bakery and any bits needed from the supermarket and we ate in 2 local restaurants during the week, all just a walk down the road. Lots to do in the area; we visited the local swimming lake 3 out of our 7 days as it was so much for all and had a couple of trips up the mountains. Joe provided plenty of information for us to find our way around the house and area and Pat was on hand locally for any help/advise. All in all we had a great stay and would recommend this property to anyone!

I stayed with 2 couples and 3 other friends (total group of 8) in the house and we had plenty of room! 4 of the rooms could easily fit couples, and the other two still had nice sized double beds. We loved using the sauna after a day skiing and every night we watched a film on the projector. The house itself is well equipped with plenty of towels, cooking equipment and entertainment. If you like coffee, we recommend bringing Nespresso pods for the coffee maker. The house is a 10 minute drive from the closest ski area but we really enjoyed driving to the ski area in Jochberg which was more of a 30-40 minute drive. A few supermarkets are 10 minutes drive away as well. The house is located in a small development but you can walk to a small village. I would really recommend this chalet- especially in winter since it has a beautiful fireplace and very comfortable areas for lounging.
