Charming and by a beautiful lake!

Super charming, old and creaky place. Low ceilings. Old wood. No AC and a fan that barely moved the air so it was very hot! Across from a lake. Bring your suit!!! Wonderful to jump into the lake in the morning and evening. Stunning views. Loved staying a bit outside the city to enjoy the natural beauty and quiet. Train to Lucerne is just a few minutes walk and very convenient to get to the city.

If you’re looking for an authentic stay in a Swiss chalet, this is your place. We loved that our stay included a private spot by the lake with lounge chairs and beautiful views. It was just a walk up a hill to the local train, too. Our room ended up being on the 2nd floor and we were surprised at the narrow and steep metal stairs, which was the only way to bring in our luggage and get to that floor…a little tricky! The town is so lovely, the staff was great. It was definitely a fun place to stay for one night on our trip.

Ceilings are just slightly above 6 feet tall. There is one toilet and one shower for the first floor to share (10-15 rooms). Room was very hot and beds seemed pretty old. No identifiable way to reduce temperature. After hours check in was easy if coordinated ahead of time.
