Our cottage Katharina is a rustic and romantic farmhouse from the 19th century which still retains its charm of the last centuries. 

Nonetheless, the lodge has of course been adapted and modernized to meet the comfort standards of today. It is heated with five wood stoves but also with three electric radiators and hot water is available through a power boiler. Plenty of wood to heat up is available.

The house is divided into two floors, 5 bedrooms, 2 showers and 2 separate toilets. The 180 m2 ground floor beholds the entrance, a small terrace with sitting area, the kitchen with a large sitting area with satellite TV, Wi-Fi Internet, Grandma’s old wood stove, an electric stove with four plates, a dishwasher, two refrigerators with freezer compartment, a coffee maker and all necessary kitchen utensils. Also located at the ground floor are a double bedroom and another bedroom with double bed and two sofas and a fold-out mattress.

On the first floor there are a total of three bedrooms (three triples with wardrobes, one with a washbasin in the room), two showers and a washbasin in the hallway with a wall and a curtain, a separate toilet and a balcony overlooking the valley.

The cottage is located in a secluded location on a 2-hectare property, located on a hillside, surrounded by fruit trees and a unique view of the valley and the village Mühlbach. Both in the winter and in the summer, you can optimally use the property and the garden for a variety of activities. Sled down the slopes in the winter, free to use sleds are available. In the summer you can enjoy the magnificent view, relax in the sun or have a barbecue by the fireplace. Sufficient garden furniture is available. Below the property runs the river Salzbach by. Alongside this river leads you a beautiful, kilometre-long bike path on a discovery tour.

Reaching the property by car is easily possible in the summer, in the winter, the road to the house will also be cleared of snow, but snow chains and four-wheel drive are necessary. Otherwise there is a parking about 250 meters in front of the house.

Our cottage is only 500 meters from the ski bus / ski train and the next Inn. The next town is Mühlbach im Pinzgau in about 2 km distance.
