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.

We (two families) spent 2 nights in the Sunnsite and can highly recommend the accommodation. The accommodation, the location, the communication with Kurt; everything tiptop. Thank you!!

Excellent Hosts and very beautiful view! We enjoyed our stay!

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.

We had a magical week at Thomas’s place. The place was perfect in every way with the most beautiful views of the valley, wonderfully cozy and well appointed space. The sauna was definitely a perk! Thomas was an amazing host, went above and beyond, giving us the friendliest welcome and great recommendations. One of the best hosts we’ve encountered during our years with Airbnb! And Engelberg is a wonderful place, especially for families. The whole town is very child friendly in terms of the restaurants, playgrounds, and accessibility. We spent the whole time at Brunni which was perfect for our toddler in terms of bunny slopes and playgrounds (and a few blue and red runs for us). We took the bus a block from the apartment to the train station, then a quick transfer to a second bus, on the slopes in less than 15 minutes! Brunni has lockers so we stored all our equipment overnight. Hope we can make it back to Engelberg next season and stay at Thomas’s place!

Superb view. Great location. Easy public transportation to Zurich and all of central Switzerland. Convenient parking. Patrick, as host, is gracious, responsive, and very helpful with activity suggestions.

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!

It was a marvellous expierience to witness the serene landacapes and the natural beauty of Switzerland. We were warmly welcomed by the house owner, Theres and had no inconveniences throughout the entire visit. We all thoroughly enjoyed our stay and the beauty of Swiss.

If you want to stay in a traditional historic Swiss farmhouse this really is the place for you. Yes, the floorboards creak and the ceilings are low, but nothing you wouldn't expect in a building of this age. It is well described and accurate. The views across the lake to the Rigi are breathtaking. It would be possible to simply sit all day and look out of the window. The accommodation has a lovely modern bathroom, is well equipped and as described. It is up a small private road which would be easy to miss if you didn't follow the clear instructions. Highly recommend a stay here. Jürg is lovely and the surroundings are simply gorgeous.

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 holiday.

We had a wonderful couple of days at Rita's vacation apartment, with her warm and calm personality she made us feel very welcome. Our kids loved the tree house, the pool and the animals and we all want to go back!

We had a very pleasant stay at the property, getting to it the first time was a challenge but the atmosphere and the host were really good, definitely recommend ataying here with family 🙂

We ( a family with 8 adults and three children) met at Sarah's place, came from different corners of Switzerland to spend a weekend together. We really enjoyed it. Sarah welcomed us in a very friendly way with a beer for a chat. We felt very comfortable and can only recommend the rustic house.

Uncomplicated apartment, good location. Very appreciative communication with host.

A stay immersed in nature, small but cozy structure with everything you need. We spent 4 days with our family (a 4-year-old and a 1-year-old). Claudia is a super nice and available host. I recommend this place. Top

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.

Small and cozy! Had all the necessary tools for our stay. Antonia was great and was so helpful and friendly!
