Ferienhaus Strohschneider

Ferienhaus Strohschneider – Steinwender Family

Preserving the old. Enriching it with the new. Leaving your own footprints. And sharing this place, which is so much more than a home, with others. Feel welcome! At the Steinwender family's farm, all of this is a matter of course. Here, rustic tradition and the future lovingly join hands. 

You can see this as soon as you step into this magnificent estate, which lies nestled between meadows, fruit trees, forest, and mountains, in the middle of the beautiful, unspoiled Gitschtal. Newly built according to the highest ecological standards, the Ferienhaus Strohschneider presents itself to its guests. Two identical residential units, each with around 85 square meters, are available for booking. Thanks to the timber frame construction, we have brought nature right into the house. The building material wood instantly conveys a cozy feeling of security. You can enjoy it in summer and winter due to the pleasant temperature and humidity. And you can smell it, because the incomparable scent of wood automatically lets you wind down and relax.  

In the immediate vicinity, however, to be honest, time for relaxing is precious. Here at our 300-year-old farmhouse, life is colorful and varied. Sonja and Christian Steinwender run the farm together, and their three children Max, Leo, and Ilvy are already busy helping out. After all, every day, in addition to the 30 dairy cows, calves, and young animals – which can either roam the pasture or lie down to sleep in the heavily straw-bedded areas of the barn – we also have to look after the three cats Mandilo, Tiger, and Minzi, our dog Bessy, and our chickens. 

Our young animals and some of the cows, however, go on a summer retreat starting in June. That's when they head to our own alpine pasture, the Guggenberg, a natural jewel of the Gailtal. But don't worry: fresh milk and breakfast eggs are always available at our farm. Our approximately 10 chickens under the strict supervision of their rooster see to that!

For further exploration, shopping, and excursions 

- it is approx. a 1-minute walk to the bus stop 

- to the small town of Hermagor approx. a 10-minute walk,

This was just a brief insight into our family, our farm, our work, and our life.

We would be delighted if you spent some wonderful days with us and among us at Ferienhaus Strohschneider!

Warmest regards - The Steinwender Family, Christian & Sonja
