Gäsotz—Ferien Apartment
Berchtesgaden, Germany
Old Stable, New Look
The mountain guide owner of this former rural stable structure breathed new life into its rustic timbers and bricks and created a mindfully modern holiday apartment in the heart of Bavaria. The compact space has been updated with all the convenient creature comforts needed for a simple mountain vacation, with a focus on the great outdoors.
The peaked, heavily timbered buiiding’s exterior retains its picturesque, traditional Alpine look, while the apartment’s indoor space has been thoughtfully updated for simple, practical living, with a focus on sustainability.
A tranquil alpine getaway that once housed livestock within its sturdy walls, this comfortably, if simply, repurposed lodge has been updated with light wood floors, white painted walls, and clean-lined, utilitarian furnishings and fixtures. Colorful tiles and textured upholstery add pops of color and depth to the otherwise simple, practical styling, decorated with a touch of industrial chic.
The perfect base for exploration of the startlingly steep Berchtesgaden Alps, with trails literally right outside the front door, this former stable-turned-home’s modern update is focused on the essentials. Exposed brick walls enhance the cozy bedroom space, with its fluffy cloud of a duvet. Blonde wood-trimmed windows dot the white walls, bringing the natural mountain light inside. And no frills, mid-century-inspired furnishings fill the living and dining areas. A fully-equipped kitchen allows for the preparation of cozy, hearty meals, and the space is almost entirely independently heated, sustainably built, and CO2 neutral.
A modern-appointed haven in rugged, rural Bavaria, the mindfully compact space sits sturdily at the heart of the Berchtesgaden mountains, an Eldorado for hikers, mountaineers, backcountry skiers, and climbers. The Gasötz is an ideal starting point for mountain experiences, and the property’s owner is an experienced ski and mountaineering guide, able to assist you in moving safely through the surrounding steep rock and deep snow, over jagged glaciers and sharp ridges, and provide expertise in locating the best backcountry, untracked slopes in wintertime.
The apartment’s streamlined space offers a queen-sized bedroom and en-suite bathroom, a fully-equipped kitchen, and simple, comfortable furnishings. A serene, practical mountain retreat, the home’s focus is on straightforward comforts and modern conveniences, an unfussy haven to unwind after a day of outdoor play and recreation.
