Austrian 🇦🇹 Chalet in the Salzkamergut.
We had a wonderful time in Steuer-Annaberg among the Austrian Alps in the Salzkamergut. The Chalet was beautiful! Upon arrival it was bright, cheerful, and pleasantly fresh among the mountain air.
It seemed the layout was thoughtfully determined - with the entry level bringing one into the living room and kitchen/dinning room areas with a bathroom for that level. The kitchen/dinning room had a large table. There were 7 of us, but it could comfortably seat 10 around to eat, and play cards in the evening. Likewise the large deck off of the dinning room/kitchen had an equally large table - and was wonderful to sit on in the morning as the sun came up over the mountains.
The stairway to the upper floor led to three bedrooms with an outside balcony wrapped around to all of them - as well as a bathroom for that level. A spectacular mountain view from all three rooms.
The stairway to the bottom level led to two more bedrooms with doors in each opening directly to the swimming pool area. One of the bedrooms had an en-suite bathroom, while another one was in the hallway for the other bedroom as well as use from the pool area. There is also a sauna on the lower level, which being in August - we did not use.
There was a Gasthof a convenient 50-yard walk away for a nice traditional Austrian meal. And we luckily went on a Wednesday evening (our 31st anniversary) when we were also unexpectedly treated to a performance of a local club of Austrian dancers preforming traditional music & dance. It seems they do this for practice.
There are two nearby towns. Each have a bakery and are convenient for groceries, etc.
The host, Peter, was terrific! Extremely responsive & informative via VRBO email throughout the 6-months before arrival, as well as during our stay.
This was definitely an A-Plus stay for us! Thank you Peter!
