Convenient and close to train stop. Quiet area with hiking options close by. Outdoor patio was a great place to have breakfast and dinner. Place was clean and comfortable with plenty of space. Would come back to this house.
Perfect Location for the Pilatus Golden Round Trip!We had a wonderful stay! The location was incredibly convenient for anyone planning to do the Pilatus Golden Round Trip.The place was very updated, clean and modern. The bathroom was a nice size with a washer and dryer in for our use. The beds in the bedrooms were very comfortable, and having fans in each bedroom was a thoughtful touch for warmer days.We especially enjoyed the lovely outdoor patio, which was the perfect spot to relax and enjoy the evening. Restaurants were just a short distance away, making everything even more convenient.Our host was fantastic! Communication was excellent, and they were always helpful and quick to respond. Whenever we asked for suggestions, they provided plenty of wonderful recommendations.We would absolutely recommend this VRBO to anyone visiting the Lucerne and Mount Pilatus area!
What an absolutely charming apartment! Fiona has done a marvelous job thinking through every detail in this modern, clean, renovated and extremely convenient accommodation! Providing ample space for a family of 4, Pilatus Nest is literally a stone's throw from the funicular servicing Mount Pilatus and offers easy access to the train station (3 minute walk!). In our three day, 4 night stay, we were able to climb three peaks (Titlis, Rigi, and Pilatus), comfortably see Lucerne, Brienz, and Interlaken, and spend time boating and swimming in Lake Lucerne. Because of our busy and compact itinerary, eating breakfasts and dinners in was a must, and the loft's amenities and gorgeous patio made it so enjoyable for my family of four to unwind, drink wine, talk about our adventures, listen to music streamed to the apartment's speaker, and make more memories. Our only challenges were grocery shopping (needed to take the train to Alpnach's Coop to secure groceries) and no AC on one of Switzerland's hottest weekends in years (sleeping with open windows and breathing the fresh outside air was amazing though!). Overall, Pilatus Nest is easily one of the best VRBO's we've stayed in ever, and we do sincerely hope to be back again one day!
We loved our stay! The location was perfect and the apartment is very well appointed and impeccably clean. Fiona made the check in process easy and gave ample information on how to use apartment appliances and gave recommendations on where to eat and what to see in the surrounding area. We were able to visit Mt Rigi, Mt Pilatus and Lucerne with such ease. We would highly recommend this apartment! You won’t be disappointed!

Thank you so much for taking the time to leave such a lovely review. I am delighted that you enjoyed your stay and that the location worked so well for exploring the region − Mt Rigi, Mt Pilatus, and Lucerne are truly spectacular.
It was a pleasure to help you settle in and share some local recommendations. I hope the apartment felt like a comfortable home away from home.
I would be thrilled to welcome you back whenever you return to the area.
Excellent experience overall. Property was lovely, spacious, tastefully decorated and very near the Alpnachstad cog train station to Pilatus Kulm and the boat docktrain to Luzern. Keep in mind there are quite a few stairs up if you have lots of luggages. The internet was slow unfortunately but the rest of the amenities are excellent We had a great experience and definitely an excellent option if you want to have a full Pilatus experience. Pro tip, go up Pilatus Kulm via cable car in Kriens, down to Alpnachstad via cogwheel train and then take the boat to Luzern. You need to get the timing right and may want to start early but this would be a full day experience
