If you want to spend a vacation with your family or friends in unspoiled nature, completely undisturbed and far away from the rest of the world, then the Waldheimat group house at gruppenchalets.com in lush Styria is exactly what you’re looking for. Idyllically situated in romantic Massing—a side valley of the village of Krieglach—forests and meadows define the surroundings of this small family-run business.
The restful tranquility is accompanied by birdsong and the gentle gurgling of the Massingbach stream, which flows right past the house.
The rustic and cozy style of this house will enchant you, and despite its authentic charm, you won’t lack for any comforts. Most of the 11 bedrooms are equipped with a shower and toilet; two bedrooms share a bathroom down the hall. The large living room offers plenty of space for all guests to gather comfortably in the evening. A beautiful piano is available here for musical accompaniment. The smaller living room, featuring the original bar with a tap and coffee maker, is adjacent to the large kitchen, where you’ll find all the necessary cooking utensils to cater to your group.
On the large property, complete with a “beer garden” and a wood-fired grill, many an evening gathering will run late into the night. After an active day of vacation, you’ll look forward to a cozy spot in the garden where you can unwind while rocking in a lounge chair.
For a soccer tournament or a yoga retreat, the landlord has mowed a large meadow right next door for you. Under the watchful eyes of hopping rabbits and curious cats, you’ll tell your kids the most beautiful fairy tales by the crackling campfire.
Serenity and relaxation define the atmosphere of this magnificent gem. Anyone who wants to practice the “art of idleness” won’t find a better place for it.
The famous writer Peter Rosegger is a “child” of this region. The landscape and nature of his homeland had a significant influence on his work.
Tip from Gruppenchalets:
If you don’t want to cook for yourselves, the hosts can also provide breakfast and dinner (upon request).
Please note that the vacation home is not suitable for parties with loud music.
