Family-friendly holiday rentals in Lucerne

Wow, we booked this Airbnb quite spontaneously because we needed a weekend retreat away and this delivered! Admittedly, you do need to be prepared that it’s not the easiest place to get to - but we packed light and had plenty of hands to get the groceries brought over. In the end;however, with a bit of planning, it was no issue at all getting there with our toddler and baby. And the location absolutely delivered! It was just what we needed to be in an undisturbed, peaceful setting to unwind from the busyness of everyday life. And the views are amazing!! As disclosed, a few elements of this house aren’t renovated (bathrooms), so if this is ever done then it will help elevate the house as well. I wasn’t aware that it was a two story house - which for us was perfect as we stayed below and my parents stayed above and gave us each some separate living space. I’d absolutely recommend Carmen’s place if you are looking for a true Swiss retreat that’s off the beaten path!

We would give Thomas 10 stars if we could. Absolutely the best AirBnB experience. Such a kind and accommodating host that made us feel very welcome in Switzerland. The chalet was unique, sparkling clean, and the views simply cannot be beat. Would absolutely stay again!

a very cozy apartment with a well equipped kitchen. refrigerator, microwave, toaster and filter coffee machine were there too. towels were changed once per a week on Wednesday and garbage bins were emptied too. this service was very convenient for us.

Perfect for a large group of 15 people + 6 children! An escape from the daily life of the city, especially when it's a hot weekend on the plateau. It's not the North Pole, but in terms of isolation from civilization, you could almost believe it. The view is magnificent, the amenities (fireplace for raclette, grill/fire pit - both working with wood fire available on site - Nordic style hot tub - which we did not need to heat given the heat of the moment - and without forgetting the large canvas that can be deployed by pressing a button offering shade on almost the entire terrace). The kitchen downstairs has all the amenities and enough space if the group is well organized and tidy (which was not our case!) You have to live with two cows, the farmers next door who work there during the day (but don't sleep there) and the fact that the parking lot is a 3-minute walk away, at the edge of the forest. Would we go back? Yes.

it was a wonderful place for a long weekend, and the host have excellent recommendations for what to do in the area. The family was friendly and welcoming.

Very beautiful place and very accommodating host! Made me and my wife feel right at home!!

This place was perfect for our family. There are two separate entrances so one room is private from the other two. The views are AMAZING. It does require some coordination if you want to go into town as the train only runs about every hour, but we found the surroundings well worth the effort. The hot tub was so nice in the evenings, just plan to start the fire early as it takes a bit to heat up. Also HIGHLY recommend getting farm fresh eggs/milk/butter. It was super reasonable and so convenient to have it dropped at the house. Host were also very communicative which I appreciated. Overall, I would highly recommend this place if you want peace and gorgeous surroundings.

Our group of four had a wonderful stay at this apartment. Each of us slept comfortably, and we were all amazed by the stunning views and serene neighborhood. The apartment was even more beautiful than the photos suggested. Located in a peaceful and safe area, it provided a perfect escape, yet was still close to local attractions. The host was very attentive, making our stay easy and enjoyable. Highly recommend!

We had the pleasure of staying at Theres' lovely home for three days, and what a peaceful little getaway it was! We had to make a few changes to our booking, and she was super kind and flexible about it—something we really appreciated. She even picked us up from the station, which was such a thoughtful gesture! Theres is truly a kind soul, and her home reflects that warmth. The place is serene, surrounded by beautiful views that instantly put you at ease. The rooms were spotless, the furniture cozy, and the kitchen had more utensils than we knew what to do with! We felt right at home and are already looking forward to coming back again.

Great place great host

The location of the accommodation is in a place that fits the appearance of the accommodation expected in Switzerland, with a view of the lake. The milk, juice, and bread prepared by the host were excellent. It's a place I want to come back to again.

We had a wonderful week at the Rigi. The chalet is in a great location, quiet and with a great view, yet you are quickly in the village shop or at the train station. Sandra is friendly and easily accessible, as well as extremely helpful even with special requests! We will be happy to come back.

The views from the where the apartment is situated is fantastic. Additionally, there is an amazing alpine playground 5 minutes walk away from the apartment for the kids

The house is beautiful and idyllically located in the forest. It is only within walking distance and really a unique gem. The equipment leaves nothing to be desired, the kitchen is equipped with everything your heart desires. The host Guido appeared in person for check-in, helped with the luggage and was extremely kind and personable. We recommend the house to any nature lover and are already looking forward to our next visit! Thank you Guido and family!

The small town of Emmetten is a good starting point for many activities. Hikes, e.g. to the waterfall in the Kohlbach Valley, can be started from the front door and just across the street is the landing site of the paragliding pilots. It goes up with a gondola about 1500 m. We enjoyed the flight very much! It took about 15 minutes. Lake Lucerne with its clear, blue water is about a 10-minute drive. We liked the Badi Rütinen very much. In the evening you have a wonderful view over the lake from the terrace while the sun sets behind the mountains. The place is quaint and cozy. The new kitchen is well equipped. The house is very spacious. It was a wonderful vacation.

We had a very nice time with Rita. My 6-year-old daughter was very warmly received by Rita and taken directly to the farm. There, she is allowed to drive a small tractor. There was also a small wooden farm and other small toys in the apartment. So, for a vacation with children, it's just really nice. I can therefore highly recommend it.

Can’t ask for anything better or more, It was magical stay for our family, my children loved the garden, the views are breathtaking, we stayed for a week and it was absolutely amazing. Thank you Andrea Jurban’s family

will definitely return! spotless studio with breathtaking views of the lake. walking distance to restaurants and the beach. pet friendly.

We booked the accommodation for a family weekend, 8 adults and 9 children. It was the perfect time to enjoy the time with fun and games, we could let our children play in the large garden with a safe feeling. All the equipment was available and Martin was always available with advice and help. We especially liked the evenings in the open air, which we enjoyed in the pavilion and the children could watch a football game on the big screen. We highly recommend this location.

We recommend the place. The apartment is located in a quiet area. It is the same as the Airbnb description. The condo is well equipped. Kitchen is amply equipped with dishes. The apartment consists of a large room that can be separated into two "rooms" with a curtain. There is also a bath. Klara and Paul are very nice, gave us tips for things to do and even provided the children with a pool noodle / swimming board. The garden incl. swimming pond is beautiful, so we used it several times.

Very friendly and nice host… lovely studio with great amenities….

Christine was very helpful and thoughtful in making our stay as pleasant as possible. The home was equipped with activities and toys to keep our little daughter engaged which was a pleasant surprise.

They were both flexible and very communicative. The view from the deck is gorgeous. Is definitely out of the city center. Great market is about a 10 min walk through residential neighborhood. Kitchen has everything for cooking you need.
