    Patricia met us at the location, brought all of our luggage up to the chalet, showed us around the entire propery and explained how everything worked. It was so personal and nice to meet her. We were allowed to use the laundry facilities as well. ...

    Chalet Elza is a great space in a beautiful location! We enjoyed having a fire in the evenings, and our girls loved greeting Wilson the cat in the mornings. Having separate bedrooms is a great plus for families, and my kids loved the bed in the wall!

    This is a really charming countryside apartment and even has sheep out in the pasture and an adorable resident outside cat named Wilson! Really beautiful bedrooms too. We loved walking along the river to town👍

    Great place close to Lauterbrunnen. Be careful if you are tall! I’m 6’6” and despite being careful bonked my head a few times. I had to duck on the whole first floor area.

    Great location, by the river, 5 minutes outside of town. Perfect if you have a car. Nice rooms and beds and efficient little kitchen. Very nice owner.

    View and location was perfect. Short walk from town, but far enough to not hear noise.

The chalet is from the year 1800 and has last been fully renovated by us in November 2022. The chalet has 2 apartments under 1 roof. Both have separate entrances, an outside sitting area, Living room, bathroom, kitchen, and 2 bedrooms. We focused a lot on soundproofing the rooms because we value peace and tranquility. The large garden in front is a common garden with multiple sitting area's and fire pits/BBQ's. We always ask our guest to not stay in the front garden after 20:00 and use the private sitting area's out of respect for the other guests. We bought the house in 2018 and turned it into a business right away. We did multiple renovations including raising all the ceilings to a comfortable height.
Me and Patricia have been living in Switzerland for 5 years and we have 2 kids, Daniel and Veronika. living in this beautiful part of Switzerland we got to know the area and its people very well. We both enjoy a variety of outdoor sports and activities that the area has to offer. At home we enjoy gardening, cooking and our hobbies such as carpentry and reading. Patricia comes from a career in the hotel Industry and I work as a local handyman. Feel free to ask us anything you like regarding the property or the local area. We value family, hard work, hygiene and friendliness
The neighborhood is great and we have friendly and helpful neighbors. There is a river next to the house and the Parking connects to the main road. There is also a bicycle path that connects to Lauterbrunnen and Interlaken. Its a 10 minute walk to the center of Lauterbrunnen and a 2 minute drive by bus or by car. One of our neighbors sells cheap local raclette cheese that he makes at his dairy farm. We are perfect for trips to Trummelbach, Jungfraujoch, Giessbach, Synige Platte, Harderkulm, Blausee, Kandersteg, Wengen etc
