With Josephine you are never just a room number
Josephine Kaiser runs Haus am See with heart. She knows the best spots for sunset, has tips for the island, and is there whenever you need something.
What matters to me is that you feel at home from the very first moment, the way you would with good friends.

4.5out of 5 · Overall rating on Airbnb
It was a great stay! Communication was very good, always quick answers and extremely friendly. The room was clean and had everything you need. One thing to note: after 8 pm the island is empty and you can barely get anything to eat, so plan accordingly. We would come back any time.

Wonderful place with a beautiful setting. Here and there it could be a touch cleaner, but we were very happy. The host replied quickly and was easy to reach.

Common questions
How do I reach the island by car?
You do not, and that is the beauty of it. You park in Prien-Stock or Gstadt on the mainland and take the Chiemsee ferry across. From Gstadt the crossing is only about five minutes. Check-in is from 3 pm, check-out by 10 am. On arrival day you get a message with all the info on check-in and WiFi.
Are pets allowed?
Yes, pets are very welcome, assistance animals always. Just let us know in advance and everything will be ready.
Do I book the whole house?
No, you book a room in our guesthouse. The house is not rented exclusively, so other guests are there too. The kitchen and bathing spot are shared. Up to three guests per room.
What about food and the kitchen?
All guests share a fully equipped kitchen, coffee and milk included. The island has a small Edeka shop and several inns. The house also keeps drinks and frozen meals ready.
What costs come on top of the night?
A one-time final cleaning and the Chiemsee visitor tax per person. You see both before booking, there are no hidden items. Minimum stay is usually two nights.
Anything to know about the lake?
The island is real nature, so in summer mosquitoes and insects come with it. Lake Chiemsee has mussels with partly sharp shells, so we recommend water shoes for the shallows. Bring sun and mosquito protection.
How do I cancel if something comes up?
Cancellation terms are in our terms and shown clearly before you book. Just get in touch and we will find a fair solution.
