Based on the reviews for this place we were so excited to stay but to be honest we were a little disappointed when we arrived. It sounds like a great show is put on for larger groups but as there were only two of us staying at the time, it seems the owner saw the opportunaty (perhaps understandably) to lie... More

Wicked hostel owner!! Couldn't of met a cooler hostel owner!! Remembers your name as soon as you meet!! The location is amazing!! Right in the forest and right near a beautiful clear stream. The water from the stream is better than any bottled water you could buy. The home cooked meals are superb and cooked with love!! This hostel is... More

The Treehouse is definitely a home away from home. The best hostel I've stayed at so far. Stunning location, amazing views and home cooked meals really top it off!! The beds are so comfy, the breakfast is filling, the showers are so clean. Definitely a great place to stay and relax for backpackers and families. Great value for money!

We had a fantastic stay at The Treehouse thanks to Gerhard's hospitality. For two days it felt like a home away from home, and was just what we needed after travelling from city to city to city! While you are staying there you are treated like family and nothing is too much trouble. Gerhard (who remembers everyone by name) will... More

On the train from Salzburg you have little idea of what awaits you. Once the train arrives in Grunau and you see the beauty of the surroundings and discover the coziness of the hostel, it is hard to remember that this is merely a stop on your backpacking journey and not the destination.

This was an optional 'busabout' drop off point and when planning places to visit, a Google image of the Almsee and the rave reviews about the service and sense of hospitality by Gerhard, Andy and everyone else won me over. After having just left the place, they really do go out of their way to make your holiday as comfortable... More

I came to Grunau on the Busabout route, just expecting to jump of and have lunch then keep on my way. But Wow this place is picturesque and there was no way I was leaving!! It was no trouble at all for Guhart and Andy and was made to feel incredibly at home. Afternoons of lounging around by the creek... More

Strayed with a group of friends in late february. Treehouse took care of everything - picked/droppe us up from Linz airport, all our lunches an dinners (which were delicious) and served us out every whim. It also has a great little bar in the common room and an even bigger bar with pool tables, foosball etc downstairs. This helps keep... More

I stayed for 4 nights and wish I could have stayed for so much more. There is so much to do in Grunau and the people at the Treehouse make sure you use your time to the maximum. Cheap bike hire is offered and Gerhard (excuse spelling) has a great knowledge of the surrounding area. You can ride out to... More

We stayed at The Treehouse for 6 nights of relaxation before continuing in our stressful city to city travels! We absolutely LOVED staying here and could easily have extended our stay for a few weeks/months! A lovely dinner is cooked each night if you want some, and the surroundings are beautiful. Take a bike ride, walk or hike, go to... More
