The 'Farm to Table' dining is literal—meat and cheese come from their own agriculture
Natural swimming pond that's refreshing in summer and a plunge pool in winter
The Geisl family's hospitality feels genuine, not corporate-scripted
Quick Take: It’s a working farm that happens to have 5-star amenities, so expect cows, not club beats.
Reviewed by @hallodreamland: I stayed here with the kids and it was the perfect balance of luxury and nature. They spent hours at the petting zoo and playground, which let me actually enjoy the private sauna and mountain views. It felt like a true break for us parents, not just a trip for the kids.
Guest Who Stayed Here Said
The hype

Dogs are welcome (€15/night) but generally not allowed in the restaurant unless they are under 5kg and in a bag.
The local tax is approx €2.80 per person/day and is added at checkout.
What to pack
Slip-on shoes/Crocs for the walk between the chalet and the main spa/pool
Hiking boots—trails start right at the doorstep
Room Genie
Best picks
Luxury Water Chalets: Direct access to the pond, private sauna, and fireplace—worth the splurge.
Juniorsuite 'Gutshaus': Best for couples wanting hotel service with a view of the Kitzbüheler Horn.
Rooms to avoid
Ground floor rooms in the main building if you want total privacy from guests walking to the pond.
Room Request Genie – copy & paste
“I would love a room/chalet with a view of the Kitzbüheler Horn. If booking a standard room, an upper floor in the 'Manor House' (Gutshaus) is preferred for maximum quiet.”
FAQ & Hidden tips
Everything you actually want to know before you book.
Is the pool heated?
No. It is a natural swimming pond. In summer it reaches ~24°C; in winter it's an ice-dip pool for sauna users.
How do I get to the ski lifts?
The hotel provides a free private shuttle to the Fieberbrunn lifts (part of the massive Skicircus Saalbach Hinterglemm).
Is there air conditioning?
No, and you won't need it. The mountain air cools things down significantly at night.
Can I eat at the hotel every night?
Almost. The restaurant is closed on Tuesdays, so plan to eat in Fieberbrunn village that night.
Is it suitable for small children?
Yes. There is a playground, a petting zoo (rabbits, donkeys, pigs), and a climbing garden.
Do the chalets have kitchens?
Yes, fully equipped kitchens. You can cook yourself or book half-board to eat in the hotel restaurant.
