Backyard Mountain

Very nice stay with the guys at backyard mountain, Brent and Vasso make you feel welcome and at home! Dogs are definitely a bonus!

I stayed here this summer and from the moment I arrived I knew I wanted to stay longer and extended my stay. This really was a home away from home. I was made to feel so comfortable and Bret was so welcoming. This hostel is the perfect destination for hiking. You can start trails from the hostel or get a bus from right outside of the hostel up into the mountains. I would 100% recommend and would love to go back asap!

We stayed with Vasso as we traveled through Ginzling on a cycling trip to South Tyrol. Their hostel is amazing and one can see in every corner how much effort and love they devoted to their project. It was super nice to meet you (again) and we wish you all the best for the future. We hope to stay with you again!

I had a lovely stay at the hostel. I wanted to spend my entire summer holiday in one place in nature, to explore the mountains from and that would feel like home. And boy did I succeed! The guys created a very homely atmosphere, and the animals (including two kittens and a puppy when I was there!) made for an even greater stay. The location of the hostel was perfect for me as well, remote and right next to some amazing hiking trails. I’m looking forward to coming back someday (soon!). Thanks guys, for a great holiday :)

Wonderful location with amazing hosts that really made you feel welcome. The rooms were nice with comfortable bedding and a beautiful view. The showers and toilets were very clean and modern. If I ever come back to Austria I'm definitely staying here again, hopefully for longer so I can see all the sights around the hostel.

I had the most amazing time at the backyard mountain hostel. The guys really make you feel at home. This beautifull place has a big living room where you can chill, play games and meet other people staying at the hostel. The dorm rooms have enough space and everything is new and clean. Having dinner together and going snowboarding together makes this a one of kind place. Definitely recommend staying here!

This place is great to stay during all seasons: in summertime there are amazing walking tracks which actually start in the backyard! During winter time you get the best of both worlds: the skiing tracks are just a short drive away, but the location is in a quiet area. The hostel has a cosy living room where it is so easy to interact with the other guests. Best part are the long tables, enough places for everyone to eat and to play heaps of games!! The hosts are helping you out with everything you need, they can also help you to get your snowboard skills to the next level!

Cannot recommend this place enough. Felt like home. Such a warm, welcoming, community feel. Great location with hikes literally on your doorstep or a short bus ride away. The puppy and two kittens was the cherry on top 😆 If you’re a hiker or looking to really immerse yourself in a small town, definitely a good fit. Just keep in mind bus times don’t run late to mayrhofen so can’t go for a late dinner/drinks in town if you’re relying on public transport but in saying that their is a restaurant and cafe in ginzling a few minutes walk from the house

These guys have created a top guesthouse, great location and service. Hospitality and comfort are the hallmarks of this hostel on the edge of the Zillertal. Perfect base for skiing, hiking and mountaineering. Compliments, the beds are top, kitchen, beer, food and cozy guest room, a great stay is guaranteed, I will definitely come back often, Thanks Guys for your very warm stay and welcome!

Favorite place I've stayed in the Alps so far. If you're a rock climber, hiker, mountain biker, traveller looking for a bit of grounding and community, or an average Joe trying to tour Zillertal, this place is a wonderful way to have a home away from home in Zillertal. I absolutely loved it, the bed, facilities, location, and the great people I got to see everyday. Thanks Brent and Vasso (and the dogs) for the hospitality!

I stayed there for more than 2 weeks. Brent, Vasso and the dogs try their best everyday to offer you a clean and beautiful hostel. I recommend this hostel in the best way possible. 10/10!

It s amazing how a little, quit hidden town can offer so much adventure. The hiking and biking here is amazing, the mountains extremely beautiful, you can climb rocks and in the winter it s one of the best places for wintersport. And if you stay at Backyard Mountain Hotel you are also able to relax, read a book, enjoy the view, maybe draw a bit; simply do whatever you wanna do on a holiday. The beautiful austrian house and nice hosts vasso and brent will make you feel welcome and comfortable. Defenitely coming back here again, both summer and winter!

Very nice and relaxing place to be...the host is wonderful and provide all necessary information....I suggest to visit ..good kitchen and garden..you can even hear the music of a nearby river... recommended

The owners - Brent and Vasso - have put so much love into this hostel. It is an absolute treasure of a place, from the people, to the location, to the hostel building itself, and of course the cats and dogs. Thanks y'all 💗

The silence of this place is really great while it’s in the center of one of the greatest ski-areas from europe. The possibility to cook our own dinner is really very nice. Very friendly owners!

We had a great time with family and friends! Brent and Vasso are super friendly. Nice food as well and a great vibe. Would recommend it to everyone!!

I have been there to go boarding, awesome hostel. Short ride to Mayrhofen, not expensive with taxi's. Had a great time there! Would go there again next time I go to Mayrhofen!!

Exceptional hostel with a wonderful host in a very beautiful location. Would definitely visit again and can highly recommend it

Beautiful newly renovated house, Brent is so kind, a wonderful space. Strong recommendation!

Absolutely amazing stay! One of the best hostels I've ever stayed in!
