Unbelievable views!!

We had the best stay in this little boat house. Be prepared - it’s a 20 minute walk from the train station down a gravel path, so rolling suitcases would be a challenge. We only had backpacks and were fine. The views were UNBELIEVABLE. Insanely beautiful, cozy little house.

The Hidden Gem

The property is very charming. It had everything you needed. The shower was a little small, but it did not take away the fantastic location and the beautiful patio. It was quiet and very relaxing. It's a nice 15 minute walk into town or to the train station. Would stay here again. Great communication and the explanation on how to get there was perfect.

Everything you need with views to spare

The Boathouse is a cozy little studio outfitted with all the necessities, equally comfortable after a day of hiking or drinking coffee on the balcony in the rain. Stunning riverside views, calls from waterfowl, and the distant lowing of cows await! Cannot recommend it highly enough!

Wow Its a must stay here

The view is spectacular with a 20min walk into centre. But its a lovely walk along the river. The bed is a Double a So can be abit small than what youre used to. The shower is small, but weve fou d thay in alot of europe. Kitchen was good, but the oven takes along time to cook oven fries. I would stay here again even with bed being small.

The apartment is light and clean with the most amazing outlook over the river Aare and the mountains. This is a small apartment with a very small shower room, but the layout is functional and practical. There is a well equipped kitchen, but again it is a small space so preparing a meal can be a challenge. This apartment is a 25 minute walk from Interlaken Ost station. We were provided with directions in German to show to the taxi driver (very useful). The nearest supermarket is close to the station and well stocked. The stop for the Postbus is approx 1/2km but uphill and very steep. What makes this apartment, is the view and the very quiet location. The veranda has a stunning view and I could have sat there all day watching the boats, water craft and birds sailing past. We had a wonderfully, relaxing week at The Boathouse, and if you are prepared for the walk to the station/supermarket then I can think of no better location to stay in.

If you have luggage, or only a few days skip this

First, the views from this property are incredible, there is no denying that. But, the views from anywhere in Interlaken are incredible. The listing is accurate, but there are a few things that would keep me from ever coming back. First, this is easily a 35 minute walk from the train station and 1/2 the walk is on gravel that roller luggage can’t be pulled on. I did message the host to verify taxis would be available, which she assured me there was, but there isn’t. This is the same walk you’ll have to take into town everytime you go, so at least an hour round trip. Also, maybe it’s just me, but the directions to get to the house were atrocious. Then the rules of the house. I am an incredibly tidy person but the 12 page book of house rules, including being responsible for bringing the garbage to the dumpster a half mile away before you leave is annoying to say the least. I mean there is a cleaning fee, shouldn’t it be covered under that. Last thing, the shower is TINY! Like can barely fit your whole body in tiny. Overall, I think there are so many places closer in to Interlaken, so if you have roller luggage, or are only staying for a few days, look somewhere else.

Hi Ashley. Thank you for taking the time to write a review. I am sorry that the property did not meet your expectations. As you said I do advise guests to take a taxi on their arrival day, I am really sorry you did not stay at the taxi station at the train station, you just have to stand there for a few minutes and the taxi's come in and out. I don't know what to say about the directions, I have been working on them since I started running the property and thought they were pretty "bang on" by now. I'll review them again to make sure nothing has changed. The House Manual provided in the House Manual is not a list of rules about the house. It is a book of information to help you during your stay. Telling you the WIFI password, how to use the heating, TV, where the kayak is etc.... We ask you to turn the heating and lights off on departure and pop the garbage in the metal container 150m from the apartment which you walk past when leaving the property, I'm really am sorry this was the wrong choice for you and wish you the very best with your future travel adventures.

Beautiful, Peaceful Getaway, hope to return

What a special location along the river leading to Lake Brienz. We're a couple and it suited us just fine. It has a well equipped small kitchen and bathroom, wonderful little balcony to relax on. We walked into town each day. We chose the alternate rout to go to Ost and town via the train trestle bridge that leads to a sloping trail to a nice paved path riverside to Ost and the Boats that cruise Lake Brienz. Thank~you Juliet!
