Lungern is a charming, peaceful village in the Alps between two of the country's most popular touristic regions: Central Switzerland and the Berner Oberland. Easy access by train or car to Lucerne and Interlaken and the lake and mountain areas around them, or stay at home to bike and hike on local trails, and swim and fish in the crystal-clear lake of Lungern. See glaciers and high peaks in scenic excursions to Susten, Grimsel and Furqua passes, the Jungfrau, Grindelwald, Rosenlaui. Half hour drive to Ballenberg outdoor museum, or music festival in Lucerne. Drive 20 minutes to larger resort at Meiringen-Hasliberg. Village has a low-key, authentic atmosphere: not all shopkeepers speak English, no signs in Japanese or Arabic, no crowds and the local cultural festivals, from St. Niklaus to traditional wrestling to cow auctions are still celebrated by the townspeople, not just staged for tourists.
PS: Finally please note that Lungern lake is a natural lake but the water is used to produce hydro electricity during wintertime. Therefore the water level of the lake is low from January through May. The lake fills up again in spring with the snow melting away. The house is on the shallow end during the winter months.

Summary: From the moment we set foot in Patrick and Alice's charming lakeside home, we felt a sense of serene comfort that persisted throughout our entire stay. This home not only offered breathtaking views of the stunning Lake Lungern and picturesque village but also embodied a warm, welcoming atmosphere that felt like a personal invitation to enjoy the best of Switzerland. The location was absolutely perfect - an idyllic setting that combines the peacefulness of a remote village with the accessibility to key tourist spots such as Lucerne and Interlaken. We found ourselves within a short drive from these bustling cities and yet far enough to escape to our tranquil abode. The availability of local amenities and the proximity to the train station made our travels easy and convenient. The house itself was a harmonious blend of homely comfort and modern amenities. It was impeccably clean, spacious, and catered to all our needs, from a well-stocked kitchen to a comfortable living area and cozy bedrooms. The playroom in the basement was an added bonus, stocked with toys, games, and a computer with internet access that kept our children entertained. We particularly appreciated the thoughtful touch of a well-curated library that catered to all age groups and varied interests. What made our stay exceptionally memorable was the direct access to the lake and the delightful option to rent a small motor boat. We had unforgettable family moments swimming in the crystal-clear lake, and the boat

Summary: If you want a genuine experience of living in Switzerland, this is the place for you. Wonderful location, a short drive from Lucerne, Interlaken, Grindelwald, Lauterbrunnen, etc. Beautiful town and lake... don't neglect the Lungern/Turren Funicular which is a 5 minute walk from this property and takes you to spectacular (and less crowded) alpine hikes. The hosts are wonderful and highly responsive. The town is lovely and really gives you the feeling of living in rural Switzerland. Highly recommended for families (lots of space) or as a couple's getaway. We would return in a heartbeat and will always have a special place in our hearts for Lungern!

Summary: This house is in the perfect location for all we did as we explored the lakes region of central Switzerland. The house is a 20-25 minute walk thru the village to the Lungern train station (we chose to not rent a car) and we travelled daily between Interlaken and Lucerne. Magnificent mountains and breathtaking lakes were everywhere as we enjoyed Brienz, Interlaken, Meiringen (Aare Gorge), Engelberg (cable car to Mt. Titlis), Grindelwald (gondola ride to top of mountain, hike to Lake Bachalpsee) and Trummelbach Falls in Lauterbrunnen. Mid week we delighted in a day at "home" riding the Lungern Turren cablecar to the top where we ate a delicious outdoor lunch while listening to two men play the alphorn! Patrick and Alice's lovely home is literally a few steps from the beautiful aquamarine Lake Lungern. We delighted every morning to view the quaint village surrounding the lake while watching the occasional fishing boat pass by the house. In the background was the sound of nearby cows and their bells. This was such an idyllic and serene setting for us to spend a week! The house itself was spacious and very clean, easily accommodating the 4 of us adults. The kitchen was well-stocked and Patrick welcomed our arrival by providing wine, bread and cheese! Patrick could not have been more responsive, helpful and friendly. This was our second stay and we've referred friends who also delighted in the house and its location. I wholeheartedly recommend Patrick and Alice's Swiss home! Sue and John

Summary: From the moment we arrived we were at rest. Everything we needed was at the house and the lake was wonderful. Patrick the host was very friendly and helpful and would have enjoyed sitting down with him to here about his and Alice's interesting careers. The only thing that we would ask for to make it better would be a couple of paddle boards.

Summary: Cannot say enough good things about Patrick and Alice and their beautiful home. We felt so welcomed and found them to be so helpful with any recommendations. The home is located directly on lake Lungern which set the tone for our stay. Waking every morning to the lake and mountain views was breathtaking. Plan on staying again next summer.

Summary: We enjoyed a lovely week at the house by the lake. The water was clean and warm and we went swimming every day. The house is well equipped and has various seating areas and comfy lounges in and outside. You have a beautiful mountain and lake view and many different activities to do in the nearby area. Thanks for saving our Corona Summer and providing a very suitable substitute for our cancelled Canadian houseboat vacation.

Summary: We were looking for adventure, a place to relax, to immerse ourselves in Swiss culture and scenery. We got all of the above in this charming house in the small but central town of Lungern. Our host was fantastic, even picked us up at the train station and took us to the grocery store because it was going to be closed for the next few days! The house is well appointed and the location is hard to beat although there is a good amount of walking involved to and from the train station but it was perfect to burn off all the fondue that we ate! We took advantage of the boat and couldn't have asked for a more scenic setting with the lake, waterfall and mountains in the background. Must do while you're here: 1. Take the boat to the other side of the lake and visit the Kaiserstuhl restaurant. 2. Take the cable car to Turren 3. Visit the "cave restaurant" Cantina Caverna and shoot some guns 4. Take the train to Lucerne, Bernese Oberland and Interlachen We will be back for sure!
