Please help. Planning honeymoon in Austria first part of March. Need suggestions. Would like something in mountainesque region with hiking, and snow activities, but would like the romance of a small village, cabins with fireplaces or something along those lines. Suggestions?

Why don't you consider renting an apartment in the Ötztal (Ötz valley) a little west and south of Innsbruck.
You can get some very nice apartments for less than you pay for a hotel, and have much more space. There are ski resorts there, and there will be snow well into late March, given normal snow fall. Innsbruck is a short drive away.
I do not know about fire places in the apartments, but I think you will find more apartments than cabins.

I'm looking for the same thing. Someone recommended the Badgastein area to me. Other than that, the only thing I've found with a fireplace that looked interesting so far is:

I'm still looking/considering options, so please let me know if you find something else....

You might want to consider Kitzbuhel. It is a beautiful town. One Christmas we rented an apartment there. Can't remember the name of it, but it was connected to (and located behind) the Hotel Tennerhof. It had a fireplace and was very comfortable and cozy with traditional wood paneled walls. Spotlessly clean.

Tamara,

Badgastein IS a beautiful village! Unfortunately, I don't know 1st hand of any apartments you might consider there. Kitzbuhel is a quaint area as well, although I rather thought of it more as a ski resort. Then again, there's Innsbruck, which might be a good home base for you to venture out from (or Garmisch, etc...)

Either way, that whole area is very romantic.
