The location of this apartment is excellent. Right outside the door, you have access to a paved walking path leading into town. The views are incredible and not blocked by other holiday apartments. Overall the space was right for our group: 4 adults and 3 children. We had plenty of room to spread out or find moments to ourselves in any of the three bedrooms. Diane responded with housekeeping when one of our beds needed clean sheets. The apartment did have a few issues, one specifically with bathroom mold, that the owner says she will resolve. We had difficulty finding a parking spot on occasion as other holiday guests used the available parking spaces indicated for the apartment. Otherwise, communication with the owner was relatively prompt and good-natured. We enjoyed our stay. Thanks, Diane!
No problems. Kitchen facilities great, wifi great transport easy if you follow the timetables. Get an SBB app it covers all your transport needs. Hostess was brilliant and so helpful.
Diane was a wonderful host! She responded quickly to any questions and had clear instructions on how to access the property as well as a thoughtful binder on things to do and information about the apartment. The apartment itself was spacious and clean. The views were breathtaking! The bus stop is a 2 min walk to the Lauterbrunnen train station or a 15 min walk to town. I would highly recommend this property to anyone visiting Switzerland. For reference we were a family of 6 (2 parents, 2 grandparents, 10 and 13 year old)
Overall the property is in a good location with good transport back to the train station. What went bad for us was that on checking in, we found the fridge was turned off and there was water all over the kitchen floor and in the fridge. We texted the owner and were told that she was in Australia and the property manager was out of town. We were told to mop up everything which we did without grumbling. During the stay, the house had too many flies and since there was no AC or fans, it was hard to sleep. I asked the owner if she could provide fans and she told us no. It would be good if the owner can buys a few fans for the rooms.After checking out, a few days later, we were sent an invoice for 50 CHF to cover a broken chair. I told the owner that the chair was there from the beginning and we did not break it. She told us that she believed the property manager since it was the property manager's word against ours. She told us that she was not calling us liars but we were still charged the 50 CHF! So even though the property was good, the overall experience was not what we expected.
We loved everything about our stay. Not only were we in a beautiful town in Switzerland but the apartment was just perfect. We were two small families sharing 3 rooms and it was perfect. The views were incredible. Thank you.
This place is amazing. We had high hopes and they were exceeded. We explored the entire valley and neighboring villages and consistently commented that our location was better than anywhere else. We truly loved our stay and it was hard to leave it behind.
Best apartment in the area! Stunning views surrounded by amazing waterfalls, breathtaking mountains and gorgeous goats.
Apartment was very spacious, clean, had some thoughtful touches and had all the things you need. It looks better when you are there.
Host was attentive, friendly and very helpful. We had a slight issue with the key safe but it was resolved in speedy time.
Definitely would recommend. 5*

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay in Diane's home in Lauterbrunnen. One of our nicest stays in any VRBO we've ever stayed in. Totally as advertised! The pictures on the VRBO website do not do the place justice. Her place was very easy to find and everything was so clean and neat The kitchen had numerous spices and accouterments in it, including coffee for the coffee maker. Diane was most accommodating. If we ever go to Lauterbrunnen again, we will stay there.
Thank you Diane for making our stay so fabulous!

We loved the location. So easy to get to every place we wanted to go. The only thing was the shower curtain and kitchen sponge could have been changed. Stayed a week so would have liked more than one set of towels. Did ask for more and they were delivered promptly.
Outstanding property! All was as described online. Very clean. Kitchen was well stocked to cook in. Location 3 minutes from the bus stop. Very comfortable beds and feather pillows. Shower pressure was great. Diane was very easy to communicate with. Only issue was the first 10 days without a working washer and dryer, but that was soon remedied with new appliances. I would definitely stay here again!! Incredible view!!
An absolutely incredible place! Our group of 4 adults and 2 children were completely comfortable there. Fairy tale view topped everything. This is the very best home ever rented in all our years of travel!
Roomy living area with very adequate kitchen, table for 6-8, equipped with TV and sound equipment. Bedrooms comfortably sized, lots of storage. One large bathroom - 2 sinks, huge tub with shower, washer/dryer. 2nd bathroom completely adequate with a large shower. Great balcony - loveseat, chair, and table for 6, along with a grill So awesome to sit out on a nice cool morning, with a cup of Nespresso coffee, and listen to distant cowbells and chirping birds, while admiring the Alps - heaven!
The hostess is a lovely, responsive, thoughtful person - many nice touches throughout - stocked with an initial supply of coffee and tea along with various soaps â dish, dishwasher, laundry. A bookshelf stocked with novels, travel books and games. Perfect linens for a good nightâs sleep.
Path to the river is right in front of the chalet and goes by a base-jumping facility, over the river to an amazing RV park/excellent restaurant, to Staubach Falls, almost all the way up the valley. Farm fridge just a short distance away! If taking a helicopter tour, their base is conveniently nearby. Incredibly easy to get almost anywhere.
Chalet Black is truly top-notch!
If you want to stay in Lauterbrunnen, this is 100% the place to stay. I stayed here with my wife and 2 teenage daughters and it was perfect. All appliances worked great and the rooms were very spacious. While the apartment was great, the best part is we counted 7 waterfalls while sitting on the deck. Sitting on that deck is very relaxing and you can see for miles. PLUS the host Diane was unbelievably accommodating and very fast to respond when I had a few unexpected requests. She is amazing to work with.
As for location, it is a very short 5 minute walk to the Lauterbrunnen which goes by so quickly b/c of all the sites to see including Staubbachfall waterfalls. There is a canal with crystal clear water and the Weisse LĂŒtschine river only about 200 feet from the apartment.
We will return to Lauterbrunnen and when we do, we will absolutely stay here again.
The location of the place was ideal for hiking and getting to many attractions in the area. We enjoyed being out of town where one could enjoy the falls and river. Accommodations had everything we needed and the bus took you from the rails basically to the doorsteps of the place. Would stay there again.
Location, location location!!! Youd be hard pressed to find as nice an apartment in such an amazing location! The apartment has everything you need. The kitchen was well supplied, beds and pillows were comfortable and many amenities were provided. The best part however was the balcony. The location gives you a full unobstructed view of the Lauterbrunnen valley with all of its waterfalls, cows, goats and mountains. We were there for 5 nights and it was so hard to leave. The hiking trails and bus stop are right out your door. We walked to town most days. I would come back again and recommend it to my friends !!
The property was exactly as described! Situated in Lauterbrunnen Valley with stunning views and a bonus of delightful goats next door to entertain us each morninq! The property was clean and the host left a very detailed book with instructions to help our stay go smoothly. The host provided detailed check in directions and her contact info and was responsive to our one question. The property was 1 minute away from the public bus stop and the valley walking trail and about a 5 minute walk from a great restaurant! We were a group of 3 adult couples and it was perfect!
The home was very clean and had everything we needed. Our family of 6 slept comfortably there. The location is amazing, you just canât beat the view from the deck. One of the most beautiful places in the world. Our teenagers loved it!
We were in town for our first visit to Switzerland and this was the perfect choice for our group of 4 including a 5 year old. The host Diane was always prompt with communications in answering any questions as well as working with us on a change on the stay dates. Diane was rated a Premier Host on the listing and she proved to us why she carries that rating. The property was exactly as described and the perfect location (incredible view right next to the waterfalls), wonderful condition (cleanliness, nice furniture, location - within 20 minute walk to the end of town, etc.) of the apartment made our stay an amazing memory.
Highly recommend this property if staying in the Lauderbrunnen area.
