Here is where we stayed this weekend! At the Gastehaus Edelweiss in Oberau, very near Garmisch. We've stayed in Oberau (at the Forsthaus) before. This is very cozy, homey type of place, in which serves breakfast buffet in the mornings. There was a mini bar inside each room with reasonable prices on beer, candy and sodas, which was nice. This place had 7 rooms that slept different number of people. Brandon's room was a single (upstairs) and the rest of us had a triple (downstairs). The owners were absolutely lovely people who didn't speak much English at all so we really pushed our limits with German practice. They were very friendly but the only time we saw them was when we arrived (we rang the bell from outside---our reservations were made over the internet in advance) and then we saw them at breakfast. We didn't really see the other guests except at breakfast, too.
