Awesome!
This was a fantastic property and we enjoyed our stay immensely. Communication was good and the host very welcoming and helpful when we arrived on foot in the pouring rain. We loved everything about this property and were sorry that we had to leave early each morning due to unexpectedly demanding work commitments nearby. Nevertheless, the property provided a great place to relax in the evening with amazing views. All aspects of the equipment, fixtures and fittings were A1 and we were very comfortable. Also fascinated by the background information provided about the origin of the wheelhouse. Our hosts were most helpful and took the trouble to check that everything was ok. We would love to return if the opportunity arises and would have no hesitation in recommending this property. We felt privileged to stay here.

Amazing Stay, aweosme people, cool story, and a beautiful view!
We stayed at this property at the end of May 2023 and cannot speak highly enough about it. The story behind how the guest house was made was really awesome and the owners were so nice and accommodating. Everything was clean and organized and the property offers a ton of amenities with everything you could ask for. The view overlooking the countryside, the lake, the wildflowers, and the mountains are so calming and beautiful as well. It was like a dream waking up here in the morning. Nice & quiet neighborhood with farms all around, and centrally located to various attractions. If we ever make it back to Switzerland, this will again be our home away from home. Highly recommend!

Toller Ort zum Schlafen
Ein außergewöhnlicher Ort zum Schlafen in grandioser Landschaft. Sehr netter Kontakt mit dem Vermieter-Ehepaar, die sehr hilfsbereit waren. Ein bisschen Camping-Gefühl bekommt man, wenn man nachts auf die Toilette geht in die Einliegerwohnung, in der bisweilen auch der erwachsene Sohn des Hauses lebt.

Traumhaft schön
Wir haben eine wunderschöne Urlaubswoche bei Gabi und Bruno verbracht. Das Steuerhaus ist eine so super Idee. Nachts der Blick auf die Sterne und morgens der Blick auf die Wolken, unbeschreiblich. Die Aussicht auf den Baldeggersee mit den Alpen im Hintergrund ist bemerkenswert. Die Ferienwohnung ist super ausgestattet, sodass es nicht schwer fällt, sich wohl zu fühlen. Gabi und Bruno sind sehr nette Gastgeber, was unsere Zeit bei ihnen perfekt gemacht hat. „Absolut empfehlenswert“ Wir kommen gern wieder.
