I came to Grunau on the Busabout route, just expecting to jump of and have lunch then keep on my way. But Wow this place is picturesque and there was no way I was leaving!! It was no trouble at all for Guhart and Andy and was made to feel incredibly at home. Afternoons of lounging around by the creek... More

Strayed with a group of friends in late february. Treehouse took care of everything - picked/droppe us up from Linz airport, all our lunches an dinners (which were delicious) and served us out every whim. It also has a great little bar in the common room and an even bigger bar with pool tables, foosball etc downstairs. This helps keep... More

I stayed for 4 nights and wish I could have stayed for so much more. There is so much to do in Grunau and the people at the Treehouse make sure you use your time to the maximum. Cheap bike hire is offered and Gerhard (excuse spelling) has a great knowledge of the surrounding area. You can ride out to... More

We stayed at The Treehouse for 6 nights of relaxation before continuing in our stressful city to city travels! We absolutely LOVED staying here and could easily have extended our stay for a few weeks/months! A lovely dinner is cooked each night if you want some, and the surroundings are beautiful. Take a bike ride, walk or hike, go to... More

My husband and I had no idea what to expect when we stopped in Grunau. What we discovered was a lovely town surrounded by the picturesque landscape of the Austrian Alps. The Treehouse hostel was a wonderful place to stay. We had been travelling for a few months and we arrived at a place which was just like home (with... More

Grunau is a sleepy little place, but nevertheless should definitely be a stop on your trip! In the Winter it is perfect for skiing but Spring/Summer is also a great time to visit and go down the lake, Almsee. And when you do visit Grunau, (that's a when, not if) you have to stay at the Treehouse backpackers! It is... More

My favourite place on our trip! It was homely, down to earth, the staff were so friendly and helpful and available. It was really relaxing and location wise if you're going skiing - fantastic. It's only a 5 minute walk to the base station. It's a long way out of town but you just call from the station and you'll... More

It's a big call, I know. But my stay at the Treehouse was not only the best accommodation I enjoyed on my 2 month trip, but overall one of the best experiences on my trip. I decided to stay in Grunau as it was on the Bus About route through Austria, and this was singularly my best decision on itinerary!... More

The Treehouse is a hidden gem. Grunau is a great country spot where you can relax and indulge in outdoor activities (be sure to do the cycle down to the lake) and the staff at Treehouse can arrange this for you. Gerhardt the owner is also the chef and makes great healthy home cooked meals, when you have been travelling... More

I recently stayed at the Treehouse in Grunau im Almtal. When I first arrived on the tiny train platform and called the mysterious 4 digit phone number from the pay phone, I didnt know what I was in for. But when a very friendly man named Gerhard picked me up with a huge smile on his face, I knew it... More
