If you have luggage, or only a few days skip this
First, the views from this property are incredible, there is no denying that. But, the views from anywhere in Interlaken are incredible. The listing is accurate, but there are a few things that would keep me from ever coming back. First, this is easily a 35 minute walk from the train station and 1/2 the walk is on gravel that roller luggage can’t be pulled on. I did message the host to verify taxis would be available, which she assured me there was, but there isn’t. This is the same walk you’ll have to take into town everytime you go, so at least an hour round trip. Also, maybe it’s just me, but the directions to get to the house were atrocious. Then the rules of the house. I am an incredibly tidy person but the 12 page book of house rules, including being responsible for bringing the garbage to the dumpster a half mile away before you leave is annoying to say the least. I mean there is a cleaning fee, shouldn’t it be covered under that. Last thing, the shower is TINY! Like can barely fit your whole body in tiny. Overall, I think there are so many places closer in to Interlaken, so if you have roller luggage, or are only staying for a few days, look somewhere else.

The property is very charming. It had everything you needed. The shower was a little small, but it did not take away the fantastic location and the beautiful patio. It was quiet and very relaxing. It's a nice 15 minute walk into town or to the train station. Would stay here again. Great communication and the explanation on how to get there was perfect.

Bathroom is REALLY small
Everything was great except the bathroom. The curtains had a really bad smell and you can’t avoid it touching your skin while showering. Which ruined the experience a bit

Everything you need with views to spare
The Boathouse is a cozy little studio outfitted with all the necessities, equally comfortable after a day of hiking or drinking coffee on the balcony in the rain. Stunning riverside views, calls from waterfowl, and the distant lowing of cows await! Cannot recommend it highly enough!

Beautiful, Peaceful Getaway, hope to return
What a special location along the river leading to Lake Brienz. We're a couple and it suited us just fine. It has a well equipped small kitchen and bathroom, wonderful little balcony to relax on. We walked into town each day. We chose the alternate rout to go to Ost and town via the train trestle bridge that leads to a sloping trail to a nice paved path riverside to Ost and the Boats that cruise Lake Brienz. Thank~you Juliet!

We had such a lovely two nights in this property. The location is right on the river and it's about 15 minutes walking along the river to Interlaken. The views are incredible and genuinely are as advertised. Perfect for a couple wanting to explore the area.

The apartment is light and clean with the most amazing outlook over the river Aare and the mountains. This is a small apartment with a very small shower room, but the layout is functional and practical. There is a well equipped kitchen, but again it is a small space so preparing a meal can be a challenge. This apartment is a 25 minute walk from Interlaken Ost station. We were provided with directions in German to show to the taxi driver (very useful). The nearest supermarket is close to the station and well stocked. The stop for the Postbus is approx 1/2km but uphill and very steep. What makes this apartment, is the view and the very quiet location. The veranda has a stunning view and I could have sat there all day watching the boats, water craft and birds sailing past. We had a wonderfully, relaxing week at The Boathouse, and if you are prepared for the walk to the station/supermarket then I can think of no better location to stay in.

Quaint Boathouse Stay in Interlaken
My wife and I stayed at the Boat House for 3 nights and really loved it. Juliet provided great instructions for arriving there by car and we had no issues finding it, even as first time Switzerland drivers. Everything was well kempt, clean, and the bicycles were a huge help in getting into town with ease! We actually found a free walking tour with a great guide in one of the brochures in the Boat House and it was that tour that set up the rest of our excursions while in Interlaken. For 2 small to medium sized individuals, the Boat House is perfect getaway with a fantastic view of the Aare River and the surrounding Swiss Alps. Had a wonderful time...thanks! Jake

Compact rental with beautiful views
Basically one room with a separate shower room which is probably the smallest you'll ever encounter (the shower tray is not much bigger than a sink and by time the shower curtain has clung to you, you'd struggle to swing a mouse let alone a cat). The kitchen area includes pretty much everything you could need, a couple of large wardrobes give plenty of space to store things, and a full length balcony is just wide enough to sit out on with a couple of chairs and table. Beneath the apartment is a storage area with a washing machine which is also used by a resident in the apartments next door (the cleaner?). The lower terrace is also used by that same family. The rental was very clean and bright (lots of windows) with blinds to provide privacy (although will not block out the early morning light from outside if you need black out curtains to allow for undisturbed sleep). A bedside light would have been useful as you had to turn the lights out by the door then make your way to the bed in the dark. The thing that sells this apartment is the view which gives you 180 degree views of the river and mountains (although not the Jungfrau etc.). It was lovely to watch the boats, canoes, paddle boarders and even swimmers (it was exceptionally hot when we were there). What let down our stay was the condition of the bicycles. We knew and were happy the apartment is 20 minutes from Ost station but it is probably a further 15 to 20 minutes into the centre of town/West Station/Unterseen where all the better restaurants are. As a result, we were relying to use the bikes in the evening to go out for dinner and to return to the rental. However, the bikes are not safe to use; the gears don't work, the seat on the larger bike is broken, there are no front/rear lights provided for night use and they are very rickety. Therefore, we could not use them which entailed a long walk in and back each night. Luckily we had great weather and an extra 2 miles each way walk wasn't too much of a problem. However, if the weather had been wet, it would have been very different. Although we enjoyed our stay, mainly because the weather was on our side, I wouldn't book here again.

A perfect little home
Are you looking for a small, cozy home with everything you need, an amazing view, and walking paths? Don't look any further! I think I spent all of my time on the balcony enjoying the breeze and stunning view of the mountains. The kitchen has everything you might need, although we brought our own coffee machine since we drove from NL. There are grocery stores nearby, and the town of Interlaken about 15 minutes walking distance. We had great luck with the weather and were able to jump in the water and swim just out in the front of the house. There were only two things that made our stay slightly less then perfect: the shower is very small, but the water pressure is brilliant. Prepare to have a great shower but feel slightly claustrophobic. Also the bed might not be the best for those with a bad back. I was fine and slept wonderfully, but my partner didn't sleep well on the bed. All in all, the location and the view/balcony made everything worth it, this was the perfect little home.
