Tha chalet is charming and offers a peaceful and beautiful respite for visting the Jungfrau Region. Lauterbrunnen is a perfect town for home base as it is quaint and not commercialized. There is a market for groceries and enough options to provide some local dining experiences. From Lauterbrunnen one can hop on a cable car, cog train, or regional train to get anywhere in the region.

It is a short 2 minute walk from the chalet to the Lauterbrunnen bus which runs every 30 minutes to the train station or the cable car to whisk you away to your next adventure. It is also a short walk into town from the house should you want to bypass the bus. Hiking trails in the valley and to Staubbach Falls are easy to access from the chalet.

The chalet is well appointed and smartly decorated with whimsical decor touches to compliment the Swiss Alps theme. It was the perfect size for two couples. Everything you need to cook is available in the kitchen, although you may need to buy a few basics such as paper towels and spices.

The best part of the chalet in our opinion, was the view from the two decks which enabled us to see the mountains and multiple waterfalls. With the weather constantly changing (sun to rain) the view was ever changing as well, but always stunning!

The owners were easy to communicate with via email. They were extremely helpful by offering to meet us at the train upon our initial arrival and return us to the train at the time of departure. That's service! Upon arrival, the owners provided a helpful tour and overview. We enjoyed the gift of chocolate and the beatiful fresh flowers. Such nice touches.

We would have preferred it if the owners had accepted payment with a credit card as that has always been our experience when renting a private home though this site. However they wanted the deposit/ initial payment and final paymet wired directly to their bank. Even though they provided routing numbers and the necessary information, the online bank transfer from the US was very involved and time consuming. It also meant we incurred online fees (which would have been higher had we gone to the bank) which added additional cost to our rental. For this reason only we give the rating 4 stars vs 5 stars.

Overall our experience was wonderful and we would defintely recommend this chalet!
