story
Sleep where the stars used to shine
With these words, the Süddeutsche Zeitung described the Bauernchalet in Elbacher Gütel - and told the story of a special transformation: from a traditional farmhouse, to a Michelin-starred restaurant, to a lovingly renovated, listed holiday home on Lake Starnberg. It was celebrated as an "outstanding example of successful construction" and a "model for sustainable architecture".
But our story begins quite differently.
We always say that the Bauernchalet in Elbacher Gütel found us. We came across the estate agent's advert by chance - and were immediately impressed. Our first thought: "Wow!" We had never planned to own or renovate such a property, but the chalet never left our minds. Our imagination ran wild and we began to make plans: How could this historic farmhouse and former Michelin-starred restaurant become a place that preserves the past and at the same time meets modern requirements?
This vision ultimately led us to the purchase – and the beginning of an adventure that changed our lives.
Today, the Bauernchalet in Elbacher Gütel invites you to become part of this story. Immerse yourself in the unique atmosphere of this special place and experience a holiday that is both inspiring and relaxing.

tradition meets modernity
A history that goes back to 1650
The first records of the laying of the foundation stone of the Bauernchalet in Elbacher Gütel date back to 1650. As a former small farmhouse, it combined a residential building, stable and hayloft under one roof. Today, the entire building is a listed building and tells an eventful story.
In 2007, the former owner converted the house into a restaurant. But then it stood virtually empty for a few years - until we decided to breathe new life into it.
During the renovation, it was particularly important to us to preserve the centuries of history and the original architecture of the house. Details such as the historic milk churn window, the hand-woven linen curtains, the original potato cellar and the exposed stone walls tell of another time. These elements have been carefully combined with modern accents to create a harmonious interplay of past and present.
The result is a place that preserves history while offering space for new stories - a unique monument to time and a vacation home that perfectly combines old and new.

Less is more - space for the essentials
Minimalism is our lifestyle - and at the same time the heart of the Bauernchalet in Elbacher Gütel. Whether in architecture, interior design or everyday life: we focus on the essentials, creating space for freedom, flexibility, creativity - and above all for what really matters.
Our aim is to share this approach with our guests. The chalet is a place where you are the center of attention - a retreat that invites you to focus entirely on yourself and your loved ones.

Sustainability: responsibility for today and tomorrow
Sustainability is not just a concept for us, but a matter close to our hearts - and deeply rooted in the Bauernchalet in Elbacher Gütel from the very beginning. The very fact that the house dates back to 1650 and is a listed building is a sign of sustainability in action: it preserves history instead of wasting new things.
Our approach runs through all aspects of the chalet:
- Sustainable construction and the careful handling of the existing substance.
- The use of regional products and materials to minimize transport routes and support the local economy.
- Avoiding waste through conscious decisions and reuse.
- The responsible use of resources and consistent energy saving.
- A minimalist style that invites you to slow down and creates space for the essentials.
With the Bauernchalet in Elbacher Gütel, we not only want to create an oasis of relaxation, but also a connection to these values - for us and for our guests.
The Bauernchalet in Elbacher Gütel is a place that combines all of the above: architecture, nature, relaxation and adventure - for unforgettable days that you will remember for a long time to come. Welcome to our place!
