The Summerfolk apartment

“for the summerfolk”

The “Sommerfrische” (summer retreat) was the 19th-century Viennese tradition of spending the summer in the Salzkammergut — Emperor Franz Joseph, Sisi, Brahms, Klimt, Strauss, all on "Sommerfrische" between the Ausseerland and Bad Ischl. They came to breathe, to write, to compose, to paint — and to leave the summer heat behind in the swimming lakes of the Salzkammergut.

This apartment takes that spirit and translates it for today — held in a classic countryside style with rustic reclaimed wood and stone elements that give the calm of the mountains its own material language. A layout that intentionally brings living, sleeping, dining and wellness together. With direct access to the private VIP garden of Salzweg Hideaway, it is the most intimate, personal retreat in the house.

One honest word: the Hideaway is a house that has grown over generations, with the character to show for it — and the old timber-beam ceiling to the Musician apartment above tells of it audibly: footsteps from upstairs travel with you. If you prefer it perfectly quiet, book the entire Hideaway — then the creak of the floorboards is yours alone.

♛ VIP Pool, sauna & whirlpool in the VIP garden are exclusively yours — included with your booking.

Living-Wellness-Suite

Living, sleeping, dining, lounging — in one room

The heart of the apartment is a deliberately open Living-Wellness-Suite: not a floor plan split between bedroom and living room, but one generous space in which reclaimed wood, natural stone and warm tones bring several functions elegantly together. A high-quality sleeping couch (160 × 200 cm, pocket-spring core) is your main bed. Beside it stands the eye-catching chill lounge — a face-to-face lounger for two, a spot to unwind and read, and a proper bed for the third guest (80 × 200 cm).

Meals happen at the extendable dining table: cosy for three day to day, and pulled out it becomes a larger table – the chill lounge then doubles as a bench when friends from the Musician apartment join you for dinner. A wing chair for reading, a Swedish stove in the corner for cosy winter evenings, the crackle of the wood, the view through the window to the mountains — and suddenly the whole thing makes sense: this room does everything an apartment needs, and avoids the cramped feel that small apartments often have. The countryside character is never kitsch — it is honest and warm.

Your private VIP garden

Pool, sauna, hot tub — exclusively yours

Right outside the apartment the private VIP garden of Salzweg Hideaway begins — your outdoor space, exclusive and shielded. Pool with sun terrace, heated hot tub for 5 people, Finnish sauna for 5 people with electric stove, a large pergola with lounge and dining table for up to 12 people, hanging chairs, sun loungers, a large gas grill with sizzle zone, a flare grill (cast-iron plancha), a fire bowl with a half-circle bench, a playground with climbing tower and trampoline — and a shaded reading nook for quiet hours.

All of this is only accessible to you when you book the Summerfolk apartment. When booking the entire Salzweg Hideaway (Summerfolk + Musician), the garden becomes a private island for your whole group.
