About this property

Cozy chalet with wood burning stove surrounded by Swiss Alps

A quaint, newly renovated apartment is hiding in this romantic wooden chalet for 2 to 4 people in the center of the Berner Oberland. It’s a place to disconnect from the world and reconnect with yourself. The apartment has a well-equipped kitchen with all that you need to prepare a tasty meal as well as a dishwasher. The updated, but small bathroom has floor heating, a shower and a toilet. The spacious living room, with a sleeper sofa and a big dining room table, invites you to relax. A beautiful wood burning stove rests in the middle of the living room and is used to heat the apartment, adding to the charming atmosphere. The bedroom has a queen size bed and a chest of drawers. The large terrace with a table and chairs, sun lounger and a gas grill is surrounded by meadows and the Swiss Alps, waiting to host a BBQ and relax. The views on the Swiss Alps are stunning and you are close to many amazing attractions, ski resorts, and idyllic Swiss villages. Located on the main road with a bus stop in front of the house, you can get anywhere easily.

We had a really nice stay, The Chalet, is small and simple but has everything you need and so close to many of the hikes or lakes in that area. We enjoyed the table outside to have breakfast there. The only thing that would help the apartment would be to have a door on the bathroom. But we really enjoyed our stay and would come back again!

Lovely quaint chalet

We arrived to the chalet to find the owner already there to show us in and give us a walkthrough of the property. It was during this walkthrough that we were informed that the property did not have WIFI. I always include that as a filter in all my searches so I did not even look to verify on the property description. It does not list WIFI as an amenity (Thanks VRBO). In spite of that, the owners went well out of their way to accommodate us with a SIM card with a local data plan. Thanks Simone and Frederic. We thoroughly enjoyed our time at this place and it is perfectly placed for excursions in many directions from Bern to Interlaken as well as Grindelwald and Lauterbrunnen.

authentic little house in the tranquil valley

We have spent wonderful 4 days in this little charming small house which was at the process of rejuvenation. Some comments on the infrastructure: the kitchen is well equiped (compliments); the bathroom is comfortable but basic; the dining room is of decent size with dominating wood stove and sofabed which was perfect to sleep for our children; the bedroom is a bit small but cozy. The ceiling height in the house is rather low (but it gives some character). It would be nice if this beautiful and powerful woodstove would have an air intake from the outside as it uses a lot of oxygen from the relatively small room. There is a nice backyard to enjoy calm mornings of the village and mountain peaks around. The house is situated by the valley road, but we found it to be rather accompanying, letting to be inline with the village life and not annoying too much. And last but not least - Frederick is a very attentive and carrying host. All the best, Frederick, with your renovation project bringing back to life this authentic house the wonderland of Swiss Alps.

Skiferien

Vom Gastgeber wurde ich sehr freundlich empfangen. In der Wohnung ist alles vorhanden, was man braucht. Auch Handtücher, Küchentücher, schöne warme Bettwäsche, alles da. Ich liebe Kaminfeuer, aber es braucht halt Zeit, bis es dann warm ist. Ich habe mich wohl gefühlt und wurde gut betreut. Danke für alles.

Ein Hauch von Privatsphäre: Die charmante Ferienwohnung ohne Türen...

Die Gastgeberin Simone war freundlich und die Wohnung sauber. Allerdings enttäuschte die Unterkunft in einigen Aspekten. Der Kamin als alleinige Wärmequelle und eine unsichere Heizung im Bad waren bedenklich konnten uns jedoch für das Wochenende warm halten. Zudem überraschte das Fehlen jeglicher Türen, inklusive der Toilette, was die Privatsphäre stark einschränkte. Die fehlende WLAN-Verbindung und eine lange Liste zusätzlicher Kosten trübten den Aufenthalt weiter. Ein angebotener Adapter zu einem überhöhten Preis von 25CHF wirkte unangemessen. Zusätzliche Gebühren für Holz, insbesondere im Winter, wo der Kamin die einzige Wärmequelle war, erscheinen unverhältnismäßig. Eine transparentere Kommunikation über diese Mängel im Inserat wäre angebracht gewesen.

Die Heizung im Badezimmer ist eine Bodenheizung und zusätzlich stellten wir eine mobile Elektroheizung zur Verfügung (welche beim Duschen nichts im Badezimmer zu suchen hat). Der Kaminofen kann genutzt werden und mit der zusätzlichen Elektroheizung kann die Wohnung problemlos warm gehalten werden. Wer sich die Fotos anschaut sowie den Plan der Wohnung, stellt fest, dass diese Türen nicht vorhanden sind. Beim Badezimmer hat es einen Paravent als Sichtschutz. In der Beschreibung der Wohnung ist deklariert, dass kein WLAN vorhanden ist. Wir bieten alternativ für CHF 25.- eine SIM Karte an für Internet. Der Adapter für Eurostecker kostet jeglich CHF 5.- Ein Kontingent an Holz wird gratis zur Verfügung gestellt und bei Überschreiten des Kontingents wird das Holz verrechnet. Der Standard der Wohnung für diese Preisklasse bietet mehr als Mitbewerber. Die Beschreibung und die Fotos der Wohnung entsprechen der Realität. Wie in einem Hotel ist der Bezug von Extras kostenpflichtig.

Kurztrip über Silvester

Die Gastgeber sind sehr aufmerksam und zuvorkommend. Die Kommunikation verlief absolut unproblematisch. Wir haben die Unterkunft nicht gleich als solche erkannt, da nirgends eine Hausnummer oder ein Schild zu finden war. Die Wohnung ist liebevoll eingerichtet und war für unseren Hund perfekt vorbereitet. Die Deckenhöhe war zunächst etwas gewöhnungbedürftig. Gott sei dank sind mein Partner und ich nicht so groß. :-) Das und die Tatsache, dass noch keine Türen in der Wohnung existieren wäre schön gewesen, wenn es in der Beschreibung stünde. Dafür ist die Küche fast besser ausgestattet als unsere eigene. Man findet alles was man braucht und noch mehr. ;) Es war ein schöner Kurztrip mit tollen Wanderwegen in der direkten Umgebung.

Kleines Haus in landschaftlich schöner Lage

Das innen sehr nett eingerichtete und mit allem notwendigen ausgestattete Haus, macht leider diesen Eindruck von außen gar nicht. Hier wird einfach noch gebaut. Innen fehlen nur noch die Türen zum kleinen Bad mit Toilette und die Tür zum Schlafraum. Der Schlafraum ist sehr niedrig (ca. 1,70m), darauf sollte doch schon in der Anzeige hingewiesen werden. Die Besitzer sind sehr nett. Das Haus ist auch gut für einen Aufenthalt mit Hund(en) geeignet, allerdings ist das Grundstück nicht eingezäunt. Es liegt an einer Verkehrsstraße, wo es aber Nachts ruhig ist. Die Landschaft ist dort traumhaft schön und man kann auch Wanderungen direkt ab Haus unternehmen.

Cute property in good location

Overall good property. Don't judge by street view, inside and backyard are very nice. Large refrigerator/freezer, full size oven and all kitchen utensils are available. Owners are continuing to update. There is no door on the bathroom, which is right off the kitchen. Also, I recommended the owners include internet - as there is none and cell service in Switzerland is expensive.
