Why People Love It
- Incredible panoramic views of Lake Thun and the Alps
- Exceptional hospitality from hosts Dani and Linda
- Free bus pass to Interlaken and local transport
Quick Take: The rooms are simple and some are quite compact, but the spectacular mountain views and warm hospitality more than make up for the rustic, slightly dated decor.
Reviewed by @maramalkhames7686221: I couldn't believe this was my morning view. Waking up to the birds singing and watching the mist roll over the lake and mountains was exactly the peaceful escape I needed. If you want to disconnect and just breathe, this is the spot.
