Perfect for families
We absolutely loved our stay in this apartment! For us it was perfect...it felt like home away from home. Our 3 boys were pleased to have their own bed each and lots of interesting toys and board games to fossick through. Playground and basketball hoop across the road. The house was equipped with everything you could possibly need, it was warm, cosy and the beds were really comfortable. Not far to drive to nearby ski resorts. So glad we stumbled across this little gem, our stay in Isenthal was the highlight of our trip through Europe!

Fantastic!!!
Our trip to Isenthal was a great experience. Maria and Josef are great hosts. Josef was always available and very helpful with everything we asked for. The acommodation was great, definitely more than we expected. You will find literally everything in this house, from a baking paper to toys for your kids. Our 2 years Victoria was delighted with a barn and wooden animals. Isenthal is located 750 meters above the sea level, so when you are driving up or down to Isleten you can enjoy amazing view of the lake and surrounding mountains. I also recommend a walk along the lake in Isleten, because it is absolutely beautiful. We visited Grindelwald, Engelberg, Luzern, Klewenalp (only 10 km away). We enjoyed our holiday so much that we extended our stay for 2 days! Maria and Josef, thank you once again for making our stay unforgetable. Ela, Jacek and Victoria.

Excellent accomodations
My 3 children and I had a wonderful time staying in this apartment. Plenty of space, toys, books, games, and amenities. The drive up and down the mountain was a little scary the first few times, but we adjusted. The view and quietness of the village was worth the adjustment. The apartment was very clean and the hosts were extremely helpful and friendly. It reminded me of coming home to Grandma's - so comfy and cozy! Thank you!

great place in a beautiful landscape setting
Apartment: This is a traditional rustic apartment that serves families (especially with smaller kids) well. Most likely you'll spend most of the time outside of the house anyway, but even on a rainy day the apartment can hold you over. The owners are super friendly and very helpful. Location: The drive up might be a bit challenging but rest assured that most drivers around you know what they're doing. Across the house there is a school playground which our kids liked a lot. 1/4 mile down hill there is another playground with fireplace that is great for a dinner or two. Attractions: For families with kids between 5 and 12 one of the most perfect hikes is at Gitschenen. Drive up to St.Jakob (ample parking space) and take the Gondola up. At the top there is an easy (veru little elevation change) hike through the various types of surroundings Switzerland has to offer (Forrest, little spring, open mountain path). At the half way point there us a little fireplace so don't forget to pack some Bratwurst and Cervolas (hotdogs). A cruise from Flüelen (about 25min from the apartment) is an awesome activity for both sunny and rainy days. You can go all the way to Luzern (3hr) and take the train back. If the kids want to go swimming there are a bunch of options on the lake (Iselten, right where you ascent to Isenthal; Seedorf (a larger, more organized spot) or indoors at the Wellwnbad in Altdorf (great for a rainy day). Fazit: Great place and the kids requested a repeat next year

An excellent stay in an enchanting village
We didn't meet Martina, but Joseph and their daughter welcomed us. They were really friendly, and were available for any questions, as they stay in the upper floor. The house was really comfortable for six of us,and the baby in our group had some nice toys tò play with. The surroundings are really nice, with some awesome views of the mountains. There is a grocery shop, 2 restaurants a few steps from the house and a bus service that almost comes to the door. :)....There is also safe parking available nearby the house. Only difficulty is to go anywhere, you will have to drive down the mountain , and the road is not very wide. But there was not much traffic through the road, while i stayed. Will surely recommend if you are looking for a relaxing holiday in the mountains.

very happy
We stayed for one week, March 2017. It was warm, sunny days. The apartment was comfortable, well equipped. We had coffee in the yard, enjoying the sun. A lot of toys/games for kids. Also travel/tourist information were available in the apartment. Bedroom had good comfy large bed and large closet. Bunk bed was good for children. Two other rooms looking at the street and school across it. The kitchen is well equipped with eating in table. The cloth washing machine on ground floor comes handy. Isenthal is small village, about 40 minutes from Lucerne, with 4km drive up the mountain with great views. We wanted to explore small Swiss village, and this was perfect. Across from apartment there is guest house that has good food breakfast, dinner, also nearby hotel, which we did not eat there. As others mentioned a mountain lift is nearby, and village has small store. We did enjoy every minute.

Excellent property on top of a mountain, amazing hosts
Martina and Josef were amazing hosts, very kind and helpful. The house is in a great location on top of a mountain. The drive to the top on day one was little challenging but we got used to it from day2. We took a 5 day Tell pass to explore the region and it was really worth it. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Martina and Josef's place, would definitely recommend this property. Look forward to stay again at this lovely location.

Wunderschöne Wohnung im wunderbarer Lage
Wir waren mittlerweile zum fünften Mal im schönen Isenthal bei Familie Schuler-Bissig zu Gast und werden definitiv wiederkommen! Die Ferienwohnung ist mit allem ausgestattet, was man sich nur wünschen kann und bietet eine einmalige, heimelige Atmosphäre. Wir lieben es, die Weihnachtszeit hier zu verbringe n-einfach magisch mit der Kulisse der schneebedeckten Berge.
