Landhaus Laubendorf, on the sun terrace above Lake Millstättersee

Close to sledding, snowboarding, and more, this family-friendly vacation home brings it all within reach. Jump into your car and make short work of the 5-minute drive to Millstatt Abbey Museum or the 5-minute drive to Sommeregg Castle and Torture Museum (and enjoy the property's convenient covered onsite parking in the meantime).

After you return to this 1970-sq-ft vacation home, unwind in the garden or sip a drink on the deck or patio, and don't forget about the outdoor furniture. For a change of scenery, come inside and try your hand at foosball and table tennis, or enjoy the free WiFi, cable/satellite TV, and stereo.

This 3-bedroom, 2.5-bathroom rental features a living room, a BBQ grill, a fireplace, and a safe. Bathroom amenities include a hair dryer, towels, and toilet paper. Prepare a home-cooked meal in the kitchen, complete with an oven, a stovetop, and a refrigerator, as well as a coffee maker, an electric kettle, and a microwave. And there's access to laundry facilities, so you can even pack a bit lighter.
