the house
First recorded in 1675, the Hubenhof (derived from "Hufe" or "Hube", an old unit measuring the productivity of a farm) has been family-owned since 1857. Originally built as a farmhouse, the building was used for agricultural purposes well into the mid-20th century and for many years also housed the village dairy (Sennerei).
With the rise of tourism in Ellmau, farming operations were relocated to the current farmstead on Wochenbrunnweg, and the house began to be used for guest accommodation - initially still very rustic, with shared washrooms and toilets.
In 1978, Maria “Mariedl” and Friedrich “Friedl” Hager built the current three-story structure specifically for holiday rentals catering to self-catering guests. Located right in the heart of Ellmau, they established the Hubenhof as a milestone in the town’s tourism development.
In 1992, Maria and Friedrich Hager handed the Hubenhof over to their daughter Anna Leitner, who, together with her husband Johann, welcomed countless guests for over 25 years - with great passion and heartfelt dedication, creating cherished holiday memories. In 2008, the entrance area and elevator were added, making all apartments accessible without barriers.
In spring 2017, your current host Hannes Leitner took over the Hubenhof and initiated a full renovation of the building. In 2024, the entire house underwent an additional thermal refurbishment. Today, you can enjoy your mountain holiday in a modern yet tradition-conscious setting, with all the amenities you could wish for.
