We stayed just one night at this beautiful little inn, and wish it could have been longer. Easy to find just a mile or so out of Reutte it was perfect for us after a long day traveling down from Rothenburg and stopping to see Mad Ludy's digs. Our room had a balcony which looked out upon the castle ruins on the hill. Clean, cozy, warm and quiet. Just right. For more about our trip to this area you can check out: http://edjoseph.blogspot.com/2010/09/nest-in-clouds.html - no ads, just a couple of Americans exploring Europe.

We were driving, so we wanted a spot off the beaten path but not too far out. This pension was perfect for us. We had a room with a double bed and two singles, a small porch and a bath. The room was clean and adequate in size. The furnishings are a bit dated, but that shouldn't interfere with your stay. The breakfast is in a room where you can look up at the Ehrenburg ruins. The owner and staff are friendly. Breakfast was terrific. Reutte is a quiet town, so if you're looking for nightlife, this is not the place for you, but if you want to see where real Austrians live, shop and eat, this is a great place.

My husband and I stayed two nights, and were very impressed by the value of this pension. My only problem was there was a slight musty smell, and I am very sensitive to smells. Other than that, it was perfect. We had amazing views of the ruins, which we hiked to one evening -- a highlight of our two-week Europe trip. We didn't mind that they didn't have a resturaunt -- we just visited a nearby spot. The bathroom was very small, but the shutters closed to make a pitched-black room and the beds were very comfortable. The area is just breathtaking. We are planning to stop here again on another trip.

My husband and I stayed for 2 nights at the Waldrast on May 13ht and 14th, 2009. We originally had a reservation at another pension in Reutte but we arrived late and there was no one there, so we ended up finding the Pension Waldrast as we were going towards the city to find ourselves a hotel. Although it was almost 11:00PM Mr Huter received us with a smile and was able to arrange a room for us.
Our room was great, it had a very comfortable bed, full bathroom and also a small living room, and for our surprise it had a balcony with an amazing view of 2 of the area castles. Breakfast was great too and Mr Huter was always very friendly and helped us with any questions we had about the area.
I definitely recommend the Pension if you are making Reutte your home base to visit the Bavarian Castles in the area.
Tip: Neuschwanstein & Hohenschwangau are nearby and in the same area but if you have a chance go check out the Linderhof Palace as well, it is very impressive.
