The Moosmann family
„Meor ehrod das Ault, und grüssed das Nü.“ — We honour the old and greet the new. A Bregenzerwald saying that describes rather well what happened here during the renovation.
Who works
here.
The house in Übermellen has been in the family for generations. The top-floor apartments used to be lofts and storerooms — today they are the Kanisfluh and Hangspitz apartments. The Mittagsspitze Apartment is on the ground floor.
We do the letting ourselves, we clean ourselves, and if something breaks, someone is usually at the door within the hour. That is the advantage of hosts who live in the same house.
What we let is shown in the overview of the units; what it costs is on the prices page.
Who does what
Sonja Moosmann
Lettings, breakfast, heart and soul
Sonja runs the lettings, cooks breakfast and knows which hiking trail is free of snow right now. When guests come back, it is mostly because of her.
Steve Moosmann
Renovation and design
Steve designed and rebuilt the three apartments. The brief was to keep the old fabric — beams, floors, proportions — and still make it a place to live in today.
Slavko
Craftsmanship and maintenance
Slavko, Sonja's husband, is the man for anything that sticks, drips or creaks. He did most of the renovation work himself.
Beyond the letting
Insider tips for the region
This is our home, and we are always happy to share what we know: routes for biking and hiking, in summer and in winter, and the corners of Mellau and the Bregenzerwald that you won’t find in any brochure. Guided mountain hikes and bike tours by arrangement.
Käsknöpfle and barbecue evenings
There is a barbecue in the garden. In the common room we will cook original Bregenzerwald Käsknöpfle — the local cheese spätzle — Kaiserschmarrn or other Austrian classics on request.
Homemade
Jam, schnapps and whatever else the garden yields. There is usually some of it on the table to welcome you.
Dogs are welcome
Guests regularly describe us as “very dog-friendly” — we are happy to take that.
Reviews: what guests write about us
very clean and well-equipped apartment with a ski room in the house, great location in a quiet village, parking and the ski bus stop right in front of the house
Very friendly hosts, nice conversations, very, very dog-friendly, everything newly renovated. Great view of the Kanisfluh. Very nice bathroom, everything we needed in the kitchen. We were warmly welcomed with apples, sweets and fresh flowers. We slept wonderfully, felt very much at home, went on lovely outings and had a really good rest!
We had a wonderful view of the Kanisfluh! Everything you need in the apartment! Very kind host, and everything had been lovingly prepared, even with homemade jam!! We'll gladly come back.
Super friendly hosts, a top apartment and a beautiful garden.
