We meet on our small farm “Kleinhofers Himbeernest”. If you wish, you can book an overnight stay in one of our quiet and cosy rooms. For breakfast, we will, of course, spoil you with many different types of homemade jam. In the breakfast room we will start sampling different jams with bread, yoghurt and cake. Coffee, tea, water or fruit juices are also included. We stroll through our garden, where you will learn more about the history of our house, our small “hovel”. The next stop is in the kitchen: preparing fruits, boiling, straining, preserving and lovingly filling the jars. With a few nifty tricks we turn the jam jars into personalized gifts!
I was born in a special place: sunny panoramic location, mild climate with good conditions for fruits, vegetables, herbs as well as flowers and a place where I can live in tune with the four seasons. All this I happily share with my guest. Hospitality is a matter close to my heart. I want visitors to feel it in every little detail: the mindful decorations, a breakfast with many homemade and regional delicacies, that reflect the four seasons of the year, are a joy to me and my guests.
We share our little farm with 3 angora goats, 10 chickens and 3 cats. Hubert takes care of the meadows and our woodland – that’s why I call him Minister of Foreign Affairs. Meticulously stacked woodpiles reveal his passion for cutting trees, preparing firewood and kindling a fire in the tiled stove. My area of work is the kitchen, the house and the garden – actually, I suppose, that makes me the Interior Minister, right?
Our Himbeernest – Rasperry Nest – contains small, cosy guest accommodations: 5 rooms, each with bathroom and toilet, wooden floors, natural wood beds, every room has its own special detail; room 1 for example has hand-printed curtains, room 2 has lamps created by a ceramicist, in room 4 you find a bed made by a carpenter from solid wood - the old cherry tree was the kind donor of the wood… The meadows and woods around the house belong to the “hovel”, which is what a small farm is traditionally called in our region. This affords us the opportunity to create beautiful places around the house: a sunny terrace, a shady spot in the garden under the cherry tree, a protected inner courtyard with a sandpit for children, a circular spot with stone walls and a fire bowl (and a stunning view) were created and delight us and our guests.
