Our Andermatt Vacation

Our family loved Rolf's place. The views were spectacular. The chalet cozy with a fire always burning. The upstairs was perfect for everyone to get a good night's sleep.

A very nice house on a fabulous spot. The feel of a mountain cabine, but with all the modern facilities. A bit seventies in look and feel, but we enjoyed it very much. Nice owner, good communication.

This is a great VRBO property!

We had a great time and experience staying here. It’s located in a nice small peaceful village. We hit the slopes in Andermatt each day which is about a 25-30 min drive away. The place is well stocked and we were able to stay warm by the fire. Great accommodation! I can’t wait to stay here again.

Beautiful, peaceful location

There aren’t enough wonderful things to say about this place. The location, the views, the amenities in the house- everything was AMAZING. Loved seeing all the sheep and cows every morning, the views of the mountains and waterfalls right at our doorstep. This the perfect place to get away, disconnect and just be with your friends and/or your loved ones. We will definitely be returning!!!!

Amazing House in the Swiss Alps

Highly recommend. It is an authentic Swiss mountain experience. The host, Rolf, was very attentive and available for questions. The place was stocked everything we needed from Fondue pots, foosball table, towels, and cellar with wine & beer! Hope to visit again in the future.

Unbelievable views

Very clean, very unique property. Rivers, waterfalls, mountains fields -perfection. Great communication with Rolf, no need to stock up on wine or beer. The drive over the Sustenpass and the local hikes are unbelievable.

Great location

The views from the house are absolutely breathtaking. House feels like a right mountain cabin and the communication with the owner was good. The only thing is that the listing doesn’t specify, that you have to clean the whole house yourself before you leave, which takes quite some time. Next time I would appreciate to know that ahead of time to count the time in. But it was ok and we had really good time.

Unforgetable stay

The house is exactly as it's name and descriptions. The neighborhood reminds us of "Heidi", the surrounding view is stunning and peaceful. We were so lucky to have bumped into our neighbors (80 sheeps)coming back from the mountain, it was one of the most unforgetable experience for both adults and kids. Kitchen is well equipped, and there is a big bench at the front porch which we had our dinner there while enjoying the beautiful sceneries. The host has a big wine collection at the basement which is super convenient to us, and the host's charges are exceptionally reasonable. The few drawbacks are that the bathrooms are a bit too dark for us and one of the bedroom got no proper door, plus there is a cleaning fee to be paid unless you reinstate the whole place as it original status. Overall, it is still a place we would highly recommend, a real memorable stay.

2/10 Terrible

Disliked: Cleanliness, amenities, property conditions & facilities, communication
House is NOT the one as depicted in the main photo, completely different house shown, also very difficult to safely get in and out of the area to park. Worst of all, the host was extremely rude, made up a lie claiming I had 5 people over to the house, and after I checked out was charged an extra $$$. This is a total scam / attempted extortion. I have disputed with my credit card company.

Overall nice experience! Will come back in the future when possible. The scenery from front of house indeed is great! We like the bright bedrooms, but tall people might find the slooping ceilings a bit hard to navigate.We also like the experience of burning woods to heat up the house.However, in a nearby building, it seems a machine is running non stop and the sound borthered a couple of our family members.Suggestions: Kitchen: Replace the worn out pans. Maybe add stainless steel pans. The pans available were all with worn out non-sticks surfaces as far as we can tell. We were hesitant to use those pans. Add lids that actually fit the pots and pans. Fix the oven temperature issue.Living room: Add option for brighter light.

Das Gabrielenhaus von Rolf liegt ca 10 Minuten von Wassen entfernt. Man fährt entlang des Sustenpasses, bis ein Weg zum Dorf (bestehend aus ein paar Häusern, von denen 3 bewohnt sind) abgeht, der sehr eng ist. Das Haus liegt sehr idyllisch in den Bergen, drumrum Wiesen, Wasserfälle und ein größerer Bach.Das Haus ist sauber, die Betten waren frisch. Ich würde mir wünschen, dass die Küchenschränke und der Kühlschrank mal wieder eine Grundreinigung bekommen.Das Haus ist gut ausgestattet an Geschirr, Töpfen, etc. Und darüber hinaus hat es genug Klopapier, Duschgel und Shampoo. Waschen kann man in der Waschmachine gegen Aufpreis und im Keller hat Rolf Bier und Wein,welches man kaufen kann. Den Backofen muss man heißer einstellen (als gewohnt) und die letzten 10 Minuten mit der Grillfunktion laufen lassen, dann klappen auch die Aufläufe :-)Für uns war der Tischkicker ein Highlight. Ansonsten ist es ein typisches, uriges Berghaus. Innen etwas dunkel, aber mit fließendem (sehr heißem!) Wasser und Strom.Wir haben Rolf nicht gesehen aber die Kommunikation war schnell und zuverlässig. Wir kommen gerne mal wieder.

sfeervolle uitvalsbasis voor fietsen/wandelen

Huis staat op prachtige plek in een gehucht aan de oude weg naar de Sustenpas- prachtig uitzicht vanaf terras op de bergen in het Westen. Knusse huiskamer op de begane grond met ruime eettafel en goed uitgeruste keuken. Prima bedden (wel laag) op de eerste verdieping- heel praktisch dat er twee douches/wc's zijn. Vanuit huis kan je direct mooi wandelen (bv naar Sustenpas), en fietsen; halte van postbus op 400 m- supermarkt in Wassen (7 km)

Besser hätten wir es nicht treffen können!

Das gut eingerichtete Haus liegt in einem kleinen Dorf und ist eines von acht Häusern. Durch das Dorf führt nur der Wanderweg des Meientals und macht es so zu einem ruhigen und ganz besonderem Ort der Erholung! Der beste Ort für Naturverbundene Menschen! Wir kommen auf jeden Fall wieder!

Super Haus - wir haben alles wie beschrieben vorgefunden. Der Zugang zum Haus war unkompliziert, das Handling im Haus selbsterklärend und alles war für unseren Aufenthalt gut vorbereitet. Der Vermieter war erreichbar und freundlich. Gern wieder.
