We spent 3 nights in Haus Gaberli in the end of May. It was a good time to be in Ehrwald because it was right before the summer tourist season, so nothing was crowded (although I'm not sure a town as small as Ehrwald ever gets that busy). Haus Gaberli is very close to the grocery store, town, hiking trails and train station.
Melitta had been very responsive prior to our trip and was wonderful during our stay. Our room was large, more like a mini apartment, with a kitchenette and dining table connecting to a second large bedroom with an enclosed bathroom. The bathroom is dated, and the shower small, but that's too be expected in these older properties. The room was spotless, very clean. The bed, like all beds in Austria, was two twin mattresses placed inside a double frame- yet these must have been larger mattresses because it was the largest bed we had during our Austrian vacation. Also as with most Tirolean homes, there was not air conditioning, yet, this building seems to keep cooler than others we stayed at. And the views- spectacular!
The only thing missing from this room was a balcony to fully enjoy the incredible views of the mountains we could see from our windows. Well, Melitta resolved that for us by giving us access to the unoccupied, smaller, room next door, which had a balcony. We were able to breakfast out there in the mornings and enjoy the views from there in the evening. And that added touch by Melitta is why she's a great host. Melitta truly wants you to feel at home and she is successful in doing so. The language barrier wasn't an issue for us even though we don't speak German as we already knew what we wanted to do while in Ehrwald and Melitta's English was good enough to give us guidance on how to complete our itinerary. She even gave us a ride to the train station when we were leaving so we wouldn't have to drag our suitcases there (the train station is only a 10 minute walk, but we had a broken wheel on a suitcase).
And finally, the extra perk of staying at Haus Gaberli is granny. Melitta lives in the house next to the rental property, but her mother in law lives in the apartment on the first floor of the rental property. Granny was so sweet, always greeting us and making us feel welcome. She even gave us a Schnapps toast after we returned from our hike!
We had a fantastic stay at Haus Gaberli and wished we didn't have to leave. Highly recommend!
