Who is looking for something special!
For nostalgics like us, it’s a perfect hit.
The house breathes history and is, due to its furnishings, anything but dusty.
You don’t find something like this often, but it may not be to everyone’s taste. But who wants to be ordinary?
Everything a self-caterer needs is available, and in a good and modern variant. The idyll is, as it should be with a watermill, perfectly complemented by the rushing but not disturbing stream. Okay, that's what nature does, but the child in the man awakens and our Lagotto wouldn't let himself be begged to occupy the area. The paths to the lake are short and the location provides pure relaxation. With great attention to detail, the house offers the short-term user a small time travel experience; the eye constantly discovers interesting details, from the tiles and the historical nude paintings in the bathroom to the furniture and decor under the roof, one could expect contemporaries of Luis Trenker to drop by at any moment. A small improvement suggestion would be shading during strong sunlight in a separate area in the back part of the cozy little garden. We would unreservedly recommend Haus und Grundlsee.
Anyone who wants to swim should definitely not forget their swimming shoes, as without them, swimming fun cannot be fulfilled.

Summer vacation
First of all, we felt very comfortable in the small water mill! In advance, I had a lot of questions to exclude unpleasant surprises as much as possible. Mr. Freese responded to me very quickly and in detail, both in writing and by phone. So we arrived without any concerns. Among other things, there were also some unfavorable reviews, and of course we had questions about that as well. We didn't experience any of the criticized things in 14 days. The mill is very quaint, of course you live with reduced comfort, but that didn't bother us at all, quite the opposite. The beds and mattresses were absolutely fine, not worn out or anything like that. The children's room was great, so we had enough space for our many things. As always, we packed too much ;-). The garden with seating was a dream. We really enjoyed the ambience and the view of the mountains. I had forgotten something in the mill and Mr. Freese promptly sent me my things back, thanks again! We would come back!

It was not a good decision! (Statement of a 5-year-old)
We, 2 adults, 2 children (5 and 2 years old), and a dog, stayed at the house for 1 week in August. The communication, booking, and COVID regulations with the landlord went smoothly.
First impression:
Secure like Fort Knox, camera at the entrance and in the garden. Many, many spiderwebs, both inside and outside. An overflowing trash can in front of the fireplace. Partially expired food in the kitchen. A dirty small guest towel in the toilet. Overall, we had a rather dingy feeling. The photos on the internet looked more promising. We also didn't sleep very well. Older double bed (for the man with a 5-year-old) with a dog blanket underneath! And a fold-out couch (woman with a 2-year-old). There was also a single bed (more suitable for smaller people). Well, we eventually made do with it, as after all, we didn't book a new modern 5-star hotel. So we first got a duster and removed the spider webs in the indoor space as best as we could. As for the bathroom, it was okay for an adult, but I couldn't shower the kids there. (There is only a fixed shower head with a large showerhead). So we went back to the hardware store and got a shower head so we could shower the kids. Our last night we spent in the camping bus. Because there were simply huge spiders (ground spiders) on the wall. (2) and I can't even count how many little [spiders]. Thank God we didn't see them before. Otherwise, our vacation would have been ruined for us. We both don't like spiders, and after this experience, we wouldn't have been able to close an eye there anymore. So our conclusion: Not suitable for animal hair allergy sufferers. Not suitable for young children. Anyone afraid of spiders should look for something else. We have been coming to Grundlsee for many years; it is highly recommended. But we will only look at the water mill as we pass by.

Warnung
We rented the watermill for 10 days. Arrival was supposed to be on the 20th of December 2020; unfortunately, we already paid the full rental price in January 2020! ! ! (1,140 €) in advance. The conditions of the Austrian government prevented our arrival, as we would have had to quarantine for the entire booking period. Cancellation was immediately made after the announcement of this regulation in early December. Unfortunately, Mr. Freese only refunded 350 euros in mid-March 2021, and that was only after several phone requests and eventually a legal reminder. Fair is different!
