What they say
Michelin Selected
Michelin
Together with her husband, Caroline Güldener has created a really tasteful little home-from-home here on Lake Tegernsee and you can be sure of their personal attention.
Somewhere quiet
Away from the crowds. Getting around takes intention.
The public lido sits directly opposite for lake swimming, and the waterside promenade leads right past the local yacht club.
The rooms
Every bedroom opens onto a private balcony facing the lake or mountains, with natural wood floors underfoot.
The sauna
Tiered timber benches furnish the Finnish sauna, where guests warm up after brisk walks along the lake.
How it began
The founders bought the tired 1960s guesthouse through an online ad, replacing heavy oak veneers with bright wood and parquet.
