The Schwaighofer family, your hosts in Gosau

A warm welcome, we are Heike and Martin

We are hosts and carpenters with a passion, and we have created holiday worlds for you in the Salzkammergut World Heritage region that combine nature, freedom and uniqueness.

We've been a couple since 2004, married since 2016, and with our two children Celina and Niclas we are a true host family. It all began with our Schmiedsipplhof, which is deeply rooted in our family. Martin's grandparents ran it, his parents carried it on, and since 2015 it has been in Martin's hands.

Since 2019 Martin has also run his own business as a master carpenter, and it shows: he planned, built, renovated and furnished all our holiday accommodation himself, with craftsmanship and a feel for cosiness you notice as soon as you open the door.

Heike is your host at the Schmiedsipplhof apartments. She lovingly looks after the animals on the farm and makes our farm products, from fruit spreads to syrups.

In our free time we love heading up to our alpine pasture on the Plankenstein. Up there we recharge our own batteries, and that's exactly what we wish for our guests too.
