Great location with a partial view of the lake. Quiet and cozy.
A nice cottage house with great access to Altaussee lake, where you can hike for hours. Quiet town which was great for us. Easy drive to Halstatt and Salzburg. Our family had a good time.

Schönes Häuschen in noch schönere Ungebung
Rustikaler Charme des Gartenhäuschens trifft großartige Lage am See, dazu nette und zuvorkommende Vermieterfamilie, die sich sofort um jedes Anliegen kümmern! Man kann sich nicht mehr wünschen. Achtung: Auch im Sommer - etwas warmes zum Drüberziehen für innen mitnehmen. Das alte Gemäuer hält gut die Kühle. Danke für alles.

Charmantes Kleinod in Bestlage am See
Wir kennen Altaussee schon länger, haben unseren Aufenthalt aber in diesem charmanten Häuschen mit herrlichem Garten in besonders guter Lage diesmal ausnehmend genossen! An heißen Tagen ist es herrlich kühl im Haus. Wir kommen gerne wieder!

Leider nicht 100% zufrieden
Wir waren mit dem Urlaub im Stöckl leider nicht 100% zufrieden. Vorweg muss gesagt werden, dass Herr Köchert sehr bemüht war und uns z.B. sofort Liegestühle (die laut Beschreibung im Bienenhaus hätten sein sollen) zur Verfügung stellen hat lassen und uns auch die Putzfrau nochmals geschickt hat. Dennoch war es zunächst einmal einfach nicht ganz sauber, das Licht im Badezimmer hat geflackert, der Gartentisch wackelt (trotz organisierter Reparatur leider immernoch...!), die Matratzen sind bereits sehr durchgelegen, in der Küche ist die Dunstabzugshaube sehr schmutzig, es sind Kaffeeflecken an der Wand neben der Spülmaschine, der Handfeger im Haus hat schon wesentlich bessere Zeiten gesehen genauso wie die Klobürste, außer zwei abgelaufenen Flaschen Öl war an „Grundzutaten“, die vorhanden sein sollten, nichts da - und das W-LAN funktioniert nur, wenn man im Garten steht... Also alles in allem viele, kleine Kleinigkeiten, die aber in diesem Preissegment (trotz der top Lage, für die man natürlich auch zahlt, schon klar) eigentlich nicht vorkommen dürften und in Summe bei uns leider für einen faden Beigeschmack gesorgt haben. Positiv zu erwähnen sind die scharfen (!) Messer in der Küche, genügend Haken im ganzen Haus und eine Handseife im Bad. Wir haben mehrmals mit Herrn Köchert telefoniert und er ist, wie gesagt, sehr freundlich und bemüht - das W-Lan wird z.B. nun neu eingerichtet, ein Elektriker war während unseres Aufenthaltes bereits kurz vor Ort. Unser Fazit ist, dass es im Stöckel einiger Verbesserungen bedarf, damit es den Preis wieder wert ist. Altaussee an sich ist definitiv eine Reise wert, wenn man Ruhe und Abgeschiedenheit zu schätzen weiß. Die Landschaft ist wirklich einmalig schön.
