ARCHITECTURE & BUILDING PHILOSOPHY
Someone once told us that trees are dreams with roots – and we believed this. Even as children we all had the desire to climb trees. But why? A child’s perspective of the world – naive and wonderfully unbiased – knows one thing about trees: That high above the ground, in the midst of a kingdom of branches, the feeling of freedom is truly strong.
So we asked ourselves: How could we create a vacation place for regaining energy and strength? A place that doesn’t just imitate something unnaturally but that gives us a feeling of freedom once again? We have found an answer:
Every one of our five BAUMCHALETS in the Allgäu has been designed and equipped with lots of charm.
On the outside they are clinging to the natural landscape which has been formed by a wild creek. The houses are surrounded by a large private garden; each one gives access to the creek. With us, modern architecture meets the traditional Allgäu lifestyle – an exciting encounter! In the chalets you will find a clever, playful design with a private wellness sphere and all the important things you need when you’re high up in the trees.
JACUZZI - THE FINEST BUBBLING WATER
All five houses offer a luxurious whirlpool on the sun-flooded terrace. The whirlpool is covered by our mighty roof and sheltered from the wind. 19 strong nozzles are ready to give you a relaxing massage after an exciting day in nature. Two ergonomically formed seats and a lounge seat offer places to sit, splash around and relax.
SAUNA
Every chalet has a private Finnish sauna. It offers more than enough space for two adults or even a whole family, whatever you prefer. In the bathroom you can find a locally produced oil made out of mountain herbs and flowers, as well as a bucket and ladle. While you’re sweating inside you can observe the outside world: the branches dancing, the wind blowing and maybe even a squirrel. Once you’re done, there are two cosy bathrobes and sauna towels waiting for you.
HOVERING HAMMOCK
On the upper floor, right next to the panorama window of the southern glass front, we constructed a hovering hammock. Time for rest and a feeling of lightness – just what hovering is known for. When a big cloud gets caught high up in the branches you can almost skate away on it from where you are now.
BATHROOM
A separate bathroom with heated floors and a large rain shower is waiting for you. A window faces North and lets in some fresh air. Of course, we offer fresh, cozy towels as well as a lovely rosemary soap for hair and body, a hair dryer and hand sanitiser. Because we like to be sustainable, we have a refill system for all our products. The soap and hand sanitiser are organic.
SLEEPING ROOM AND REST IN THE CHALEST
Up high in the trees you can gain another perspective on the world. You can finally read those books you always wanted to look through or maybe just take a nap in the sunshine – our BAUMCHALETS give you the opportunity to do so. There are a number of cozy corners and comfortable resting areas you can choose from. Our furniture is, according to the tiny house movement, multifunctional. A stair podium can become a comfortable chill-out lounge, our seating benches can be turned into an extension of the snuggly sofa. And we all know: Most important for having a beautiful day is a good night’s rest. That’s why you will sleep in cozy pinewood-beds that ensure a good and healthy room atmosphere.
KITCHEN WITH ALL YOU MIGHT NEED
In our kitchen you can find all you need for a three-course menu or just a light supper. The chalets are equipped with a dish washer, an oven, a fridge with freezer, a tea and coffee bar, and a stove. There is all the crockery you might need as well as cutlery and – because we’re in the Allgäu – a grinder for making your own Kässpatzen. In the summertime you can have a nice BBQ down at your private fireplace. We always make sure that you have enough wood and coal to get your fire going. There’s enough seating around the fireplace for every occasion – whether you want to have an outside family dinner or a campfire beneath the stars with your friends.
OUTDOORS
As a guest high above the ground you can listen to the sound of wind and weather or maybe even a little neighbourly duet between squirrel and Wiesenpieper (our local protected bird). The best place for enjoying our beautiful surroundings is either the sun terrace or your private garden, right next to the creek (that serves as a perfect cooler on hot summer days, by the way). For everyone travelling with heavy luggage or those who maybe aren’t the strongest walkers anymore, we built two large parking lots in front of every BAUMCHALET. There, you can just leave your car for a few days and explore our region: In walking distance you will find a ski lift, hiking trails, farm huts that offer drinks and light meals and a beautiful natural trail through our local wetlands. Our hills and forests are also ideal for everyone who likes to (mountain) bike.
ELECTRONICS
We think that everyone has to decide for themselves how much they want to use their electronic devices during their vacation. No matter if you feel like digital detoxing or if you crave a cozy film night, The BAUMCHALETS will live up to your expectations. We have Wi-Fi to make sure everyone can surf the internet and we also offer Magenta TV, Netflix and Disney+ via a tablet in every chalet. Your electric cars as well as your E-Bikes can be charged right at your house or, if you want, you can rent one of our mountain E-Bikes.
BREAKFAST SERVICE
For those who love a good breakfast we offer a daily breakfast basket that we bring to you in the morning.
It contains delicious local products and is prepared by our village bakery. We do not use any plastic to package your breakfast. In our baskets you will find fruits, veggies, sausage and cheese, butter, cream cheese, jams, juice, milk and of course different buns, bread and cake. For your kids we offer a cold chocolate milk. On Sundays our busy baker takes a well-deserved rest but you can still order breakfast for these days – the only difference is that you don’t get buns but a nice loaf of bread and a local delicacy: Hefezopf.
For children aged 6 - 16 the breakfast costs 14 euros and for people over 16 it is 23 euros.
If you have special dietary requirements or questions about our breakfast feel free to ask us.
PETS
Your beloved animals are more than welcome in our BAUMCHALETS. We charge an extra fee of 60 euros per pet for our cleaning staff.
Our young start-up crew works together with one goal: To offer extraordinary experiences in the Allgäu and to have fun working at the BAUMCHALETS. Strict old-fashioned hierarchies are not our thing – we love a dynamic and diverse team of family, friends and travelers from all over the world. Helping each other is very important to us and we love connecting over a beer or a BBQ. We strive to see the whole person, not only the worker. At “Jobs & People” you can find our open positions as well as some interesting information about our current employees. We always appreciate speculative applications too.
