A taste of the seaside at Lake Neusiedl
Set out by boat right from your own lakeside cabin and enjoy the incomparable feeling of being out on the open sea. Once you’re far out on the water, you can’t even see the end of the lake. It’s the perfect place to unwind and let your mind wander. Experience boundless freedom and the tranquility of the water in a place where relaxation and nature go hand in hand.
Fishing adventures right from the dock
Experience the joy of fishing right from your own dock. In Lake Neusiedl, pike, zander, carp, and catfish are waiting to be caught. Whether early in the morning as the first rays of sun break or during a leisurely evening fishing trip—everyone can find their perfect fishing moment here.
Starlight on the Lake Terrace
Let yourself be enchanted by the peaceful evening atmosphere on your lakeside terrace. Here, beneath the glittering starry sky, you can wind down at the end of the day. Enjoy the tranquility of the lake as you snuggle up in a blanket and discover the stories of the night sky.
Dinner with a lake view
Enjoy a crispy pizza by the shore as the last rays of sunshine gently dance across the calm waters of Lake Neusiedl. With every bite, Rust’s culinary scene brings you closer to that perfect vacation feeling—whether you’re enjoying a pizza from the Italian restaurant (300 meters away, accessible by boat or on foot) or visiting one of the nearby wine taverns.

Frequently Asked Questions:
How do I get to the cabins?
All four of my stilt houses are built on stilts IN the water and canALSO be reached on foot via a walkway,meaning they are accessible and habitable regardless of the water level.
All of my lake cottages are located in the so-called Romantika settlement, in the reed belt between Rust and the lake. All of my lake cottages (though by no means all of the lake cottages in Rust) can be reached without getting your feet wet via a boardwalk, yet they are situated right on the water and each comes with aBOATthat is mooredDIRECTLYat your terrace.
What is the water level in the lake?
As of January 2024, the water level has recovered nicely, with 40 cmmore water than last year. Everything is fully usable again, just like before. More water would be nice—we’re still well below the long-term annual average—but it’s all good at the lake 😉
Cabins Waterfront 1 and 2 are located right on the MAIN canal leading to the lake, hence the name “Waterfront.” This wide waterway is used by commercial fishermen and therefore remained navigable even during the very dry year of 2022. So don’t worry.
The “Glamping” cabin is also located on a major waterway (canal) and is relatively flood-proof. Only at the Robinson Cabin was the water level too low starting in October 2022 to access it by boat. But that wasn’t a problem—we moved the boat to another dock (about 100 meters away), so guests at the Robinson Cabin could still use their boat. Some guests thought they’d be stuck in the mud, but they were way off: even in the dry year of 2022, there was—at least at MY cabins—an unadulterated lakeside vibe.

The Cselly Mill in Oslip is a historic mill that underwent extensive renovation in 2022. It now features a bar and a tavern, and hosts choir and music performances by Croatian folk dance groups (known as “Tamburica”) nearly every week, as there are many Croatian villages in Burgenland. It also hosts a variety of other events, such as concerts and cabaret shows.
Are there any discounts available for last-minute bookings?
Are you flexible with your schedule? Contact me via email, phone, or WhatsApp (+436606275879) for last-minute deals or small booking openings.
Is there a minimum length of stay?
The minimum stay is usually 4 nights, but there are also shorter stays available. It’s best to call or email us to inquire, even though each lakeside cabin comes with an availability calendar (please check there).
What are lake huts and pile dwellings?
Lake huts and stilt houses are one and the same. I call them stilt houses because that’s technically what they are: small, cozy wooden huts (lake huts) built on larch wood PILES in Lake Neusiedl, thatched with reeds and featuring a sloping tent roof, which gives the whole structure a cozy feel. Children are reminded—and not without reason—of Native American wigwams 🙂 though comparatively “luxurious” ones 🙂 Some also use the term chalet, lake chalet, or similar. But in principle, they’re all more or less the same; only the furnishings differ.
What are the features of the pile dwellings?
For a perfectly satisfying vacation, it’s a good idea to mentally prepare yourself for a camping-style atmosphere or a vacation akin to being on a sailboat—meaning somewhat cramped quarters and a bit of improvisation. And then let yourself be surprised by what’s possible in such a small space (Nespresso machine, dishwasher, air conditioning, …). I can’t help but smile whenever I think of a comment from a guest who called me in surprise shortly after check-in, saying, “There’s even a toilet here.” Thankfully, it’s not quite that simple.
This type of vacation is often referred to as “glamping,” a tongue-in-cheek abbreviation for“glamorous camping.”
