Kid-friendly holiday rentals in Appenzell

We were able to spend super nice days at Manuela's cottage for the second time. Everything was perfect again. The large garden was a highlight for young and old to play, discover or relax. We really appreciated the many toys for the kids. The house is also very lovingly furnished. Thank you very much dear Manuela.

Andreas was a phenomenal host! Very understanding, he has a beautiful property and he upkeeps it with respect. He helped create an unforgettable weekend getaway!

Spectacular location and a house that matches.. we had a lovely time, very well designed and built house, takes fully advantage of the beautiful scenery out side, highly recommended.. PS.. this applies for only during May-June ‘25 as the road in front of the house is getting repaired, it is important to note that there is only walking access to the house. This means that guests will need to carry their luggage for certain sections of the route from the parking lot.. just to provide clarity there is no option to drag your wheeled luggage to the house, it will need to be carried. Just wanted to provide this clarity as I thought this was assumed by us.. although the host had communicated to use about the access but this aspect was not clarified.

Thank you for having us in your beautiful home. It's very comfortable, decorate with love and a lot of taste. All are very clean, and there's everything we needed for our week-long stay with a small family . Thank you for your warm welcome, for the fresh eggs from your chicken coop. It's beautiful little sheep, they love it. We are walking in the village and in the forest around, very easy. At night we saw little deer 🥰 on the road. Thanks Eva and Yves

We were there with our 21-month-old daughter and we all felt very comfortable, so a clear recommendation 😊

We stayed at Eden Cottage for 3 nights in mid June, as a family of 4 adults and our dog. Big thanks to our host Martina, who was very prompt and supportive with any of our requests. Checking into the house was very easy, and all house rules were clearly communicated. A Things-To-Do folder made it easy for spontaneous activity ideas. The house is well located in the countryside of Stein am Rhein, and is very close to supermarkets. The railway station, Rhine river and old town are within 10-15 minutes walking distance. The house itself is ideal for 4 people and a pet. All amenities are available, and the interior decor is great and thoughtful. The large garden is beautiful with many plants and trees. Our dog really enjoyed himself exploring around the garden. Overall, we thoroughly enjoyed our stay and will definitely visit again!

Great location and comfortable.

The location where the cottage is located is really nice! You have a great view of the Säntis and can start hiking directly from the accommodation. The accommodation was as described, only the curtains were a little too translucent for us. We were on site with two dogs and felt very comfortable :-)

The apartment is centrally located yet quiet. The train station, supermarket and bakery are a 5-minute walk away. The kitchen is very well equipped (including raclette oven and fondue caquelon). It is worth booking at least three nights to benefit from the best holiday card in Switzerland (including free check-in and return by train). We felt very comfortable with Hans and Hildegard and will come back.

We enjoyed our holiday in the very clean and super equipped apartment. By car we made many excursions and also on site we used some hiking trails. We felt very welcome, could contact Michael at any time and got good excursion tips. We will be happy to come back!

We had a few wonderful days at Gerhard and Conny's, who both greeted us very nicely. The apartment was clean and above all well equipped. Everything important (e.g. toilet paper, sponges, etc.) is available and does not have to be bought. We also found the apartment immediately, thanks to the great description.

Highly recommended. Beautiful view of the lake and mountain panorama. Great central starting point for all kinds of activities in Switzerland. Very friendly and easily accessible host who responded quickly with solutions. Very nice and clean place to stay. We will be happy to come back.

We chose to stay at Ana’s place before heading into appenzell the following day and found it was the perfect spot to rest the night. Small kitchenette with an added bonus of snacks provided by Ana in fridge! Thoughtful and very responsive host when questions would arise. Would definitely loved to have stayed longer!

Peters place was the most perfect stay for our merry team on our road trip from Berlin to Lucca. The kitchen had everything we could’ve wanted, the view from the balcony was spectacular and the location is perfect for walking , shops , swimming at the lake. It was a wonderful stay for all of us, thank you so much.

I had a wonderful stay! Dominik was incredibly attentive and genuinely kind – I truly felt like I was at home. Everything was thoughtfully arranged, and the atmosphere was so warm and welcoming. I couldn’t have asked for a better host or experience. Highly recommended!

Very nice place in a nice neighborhood. Secure, clean, comfortable. The only hard part is the location: up a long and tall hill from train station. There is a city bus that is convenient with a stop close to the apartment. Figure that out and your stay here will be much easier. Once I did that, I enjoyed my stay here.

Really nice appartment perfectly located in Walenstadt. It's a two-bedroom apartment with a separate kitchen and both roomy bathroom and living/diningroom. Highlight is the nice view from the living room as well as the outside area. Fully and well equipped: comfortable beds, the kitchen incl. dish-washing and coffee machines, living room featuring TV incl. gaming console, grill in the exterior area. Some details went beyond expectations: bathroom with pleasant toileteries, complete equipment to grill outside. Location is really convenient. Aprox 10 min walk from both the centre of Walenstadt, as well as from the lake and the big playground for the kids. The area is residential area, at the very end of street hence quite and reassuring for the kids playing outside. Michaela was a wonderful host, preparing the appartment up to details, and also answering questions and helping us to make the stay even more convenient. Looking forward to coming back soon!

Was at the sporting event in Rapperswil. The accommodation is close to the train station, where you can go in all directions. Optimal. The accommodation is very quiet. Everything was fine. Thank you, Jana and many nice guests.

We were passing through and glad that everything was super quiet and uncomplicated. We just wanted to recover from the long journey and get fit for the next day of travel. That was great. Thx

We had an all-around pleasant stay! Communication with the host was excellent – fast, friendly and solution-oriented. We would like to emphasize how accommodating he was: a suitable solution was immediately found for every small concern. The location of the apartment is also ideal. It is very well connected to public transport, so you can easily arrive without a car and explore the area. Overall, absolutely recommended!

Great host. Excellent communication

The apartment has some of the best views of anywhere we have stayed. Spectacular mountain scenery for relaxing in the evenings. A fantastic location to be based for hiking the Liechtenstein way for a week. All amenities you could need are provided. Bus stop 1 minute from the apartment to bring you to Vaduz with easy connections to everywhere, or Malbun in the other direction. We did not meet Sigi but she gave clear instructions and was responsive to all of our questions.

Large apartment that is well furnished with a kitchen, dishwasher and washer/dryer. The neighbourhood is also very quiet - all we could hear were birds chirping. We also appreciated the clear instructions given by Raphael and Dianna. Overall, this is a perfect place to stay if you want to explore the Appenzell region!

We booked to spend a weekend with friends. Thomas's accommodation is perfect, charming and well-equipped. It takes a little over ten minutes to walk to the center, but the place is quiet and the view of the lake is breathtaking.
