Fantastic family stay – highly recommended!We had a wonderful stay at this holiday home with our family. From the moment we arrived, we were so impressed by how spotlessly clean and well-maintained everything was. The rooms are incredibly large and spacious, offering absolutely beautiful views that we loved waking up to.The host was exceptionally friendly, welcoming, and supportive throughout our stay, making sure we had everything we needed. We also fell in love with the interior design—the decorations and thoughtful details throughout the home made it feel incredibly cozy and high-end.Every single amenity and tool you could possibly need for a comfortable stay was fully provided. On top of that, the location is perfect: a peaceful spot that is just a convenient 10-minute walk to the center.We would absolutely love to stay here again!

Wonderful hosts - very welcoming and very hospitable. Oliver met us at the train station and personally showed us to his home. He and his wife went above and beyond to ensure we were comfortable. The home has a fully stocked kitchen with everything you need to cook at home. This home is in the most perfect location with amazing views of the mountains. Perfect for families - so much space to spread out and enjoy. This was the perfect launch location to enjoy the town of Appenzell, but to easily get to the mountains for hiking. 10/10!

Wir hatten einen wunderbaren Aufenthalt und können die Unterkunft uneingeschränkt weiterempfehlen! Alles war sehr sauber, ordentlich und geschmackvoll eingerichtet. Die Ausstattung ist hochwertig und die Räume sind großzügig geschnitten, sodass man sich sofort wohlfühlt.Besonders gefallen hat uns der schöne Ausblick sowie die durchdachte Ausstattung. Es war wirklich alles vorhanden, was man für den täglichen Bedarf benötigt – sowohl Einrichtung der Küche, Lebensmittel als auch Hygieneartikel, was nicht selbstverständlich ist und den Aufenthalt sehr angenehm gemacht hat.Eine rundum tolle Unterkunft mit viel Liebe zum Detail. Wir würden jederzeit wiederkommen!
