This is a beautiful home and wonderful location to enjoy the views and the lake. The home owner and her son were so welcoming and kind. We had a great experience and hope to come back one day soon.
The house was beautiful, very well stocked and equipped, and in a great location. We would stay here again. Klara was a wonderful host. The beds were comfortable and the shower was great! We couldn’t have imagined a more beautiful view of Lake Thun and the mountains.

The chalet is rustic. No frills. Just what we wanted. Location perfect. The area amazing and local transportation made our visit easy. Our host was great, very helpful.
Beautiful setting overlooking the lake although 25 mins by car to Interlaken station, gateway to the Jungfrau area but reflected in the price for the week. Straightforward accommodation and spacious. Good shower (essential) Could do with more electrical sockets. Very much enjoyed the week.

All the best, Klara Kraft
It was a really nice property with an amazing view of the lake. Klara was an amazing host and was able to accommodate me and my friends very well. The driveway is quite steep but we were able to get used to parking there quite well! If I get the chance I would rent from her and this property again

Klara was a very hospitable host! She was so welcoming, shared a lot of different information about the area and the best things to do.
The view from the rental home is breathtaking and the best part about the house. It was so nice to open the windows and have an incredible view of Lake Thun.
Some of our favorite suspects about the home were the wood fireplace that was so cozy to light at night. also, we love to open the windows in the front and bathroom to hear the cow bells during the day. This really made for a wonderful Switzerland experience.!
We would love to stay at this rural vacation home again! 100% recommend to stay here, Thank you Klara!

Thank you for your visit, I'm happy if you have fond memories of the small place of Tschingel.
All the best, Klara
I don’t know where to begin- everything about our stay was absolutely AMAZING! We were greeted by Klara and her son. They had the fire place started and house warmed up, which was perfect since we had our two toddlers with us. The view from the dining area and top balcony is breathtaking. We couldn’t stop looking out the whole time of our stay. Our girls were able to enjoy some snow play while we were on the property, the home has plenty of toys, and puzzles for children, and we did some adventures around the area. The property is clean and had everything you need to make your stay accommodating. I hope to come back to this house in the future. I highly recommend this host and her beautiful home to everyone!

Charming old Chalet in the mountains with Breathtaking Views and Cozy Comfort
I recently stayed at a charming old chalet for 3 nights, and the experience was nothing short of wonderful. Located near the top of the mountain, the chalet boasted mesmerizing panoramic views of Thunersee and the Alpine mountain range. Waking up to such a breathtaking landscape each morning was a real highlight.
The chalet itself was spacious and cozy, with a large living room on the ground floor centered around a rustic fireplace—perfect for relaxing after a day of exploring. The upstairs bedrooms were comfortable and quiet, adding to the overall peacefulness of the stay.
Our host, Klara, was incredibly welcoming and was just a phone call away if we needed anything. Her warmth and hospitality made the experience even more enjoyable.
One minor drawback was the parking spot—it was a bit tight, so large vehicles might find it difficult. But if you're driving a mid-sized car, it shouldn’t be an issue.
Overall, it was a perfect mountain escape, and I would highly recommend it to anyone looking for a relaxing retreat with stunning views.

Nous avons passé une superbe semaine dans la location de Klara. Le logement est très bien équipé, il y a tout ce qu'il faut pour se sentir vraiment bien, dans un confort optimal. La localisation du logement permet de belles randonnées. La vue sur le lac est magnifique, l'environnement est calme et Klara est une hôte très accueillante et qui a eu à coeur de partager ses conseils sur cette très belle région de la Suisse. Klara est une hôte comme on aimerait toujours en rencontrer. Nous espérons pouvoir revenir !

Familienfreundliches Chalet mit einmaliger Aussicht
Wir waren als Familie mit 2 Jungs im Alter von 3 und 6 Jahren für eine Woche in diesem wunderschönen Chalet mit einem atemberaubenden Ausblick. Selbst beim Aufstehen wurden wir schon von diesem Panorama begrüßt. Das Chalet ist bestens für eine Familie ausgestattet. Wir haben uns sehr wohl gefühlt.
Egal ob Gewitter, Regen oder Sonne, wir haben unsere Abende auf der Laube ( grosser Balkon aus Holz durch Dach geschützt) verbracht und die wunderschöne Aussicht auf den Thunersee und die Berge genossen. Wohnung sehr gut ausgestattet, es hat wirklich alles, was man braucht. Sehr angenehme und liebenswürdige Gastgeberin! Herzlichen Dank!
