Rustic holiday home / 2 bedrooms / max. 4 persons

About the Accommodation

The charming 3.5 room mountain holiday home "Obereichholzberg", nestled in forests and meadows above Weesen at an altitude of around 700 metres, offers an idyllic holiday experience for up to 4 people. This rustic and stylishly furnished mountain chalet, which was originally built over 100 years ago as an alpine hut and has been continuously converted into a holiday home, combines seclusion with a pleasant level of comfort. Despite its remote location, the house has modern amenities such as electricity, hot and cold water directly from its own well (without drinking water treatment), an integrated shower in the spacious kitchen, which can be partitioned off by a room divider, and a separate WC. The house is heated exclusively with wood, for which there is a tiled stove with a stove bench in the living room, which is fuelled from the kitchen. In addition, a petrol stove provides the initial heat. We recommend bringing slippers and warm clothing for the colder seasons. The bedroom on the upper floor is furnished with a double bed (160x200 cm), while the bedroom on the ground floor, which is directly adjacent to the living room, has two single beds (90x200 cm). The tiled stove in the living room, together with an armchair and a dining table, invites you to spend cozy hours. With no TV or internet, the house offers the perfect opportunity to escape from everyday life, although the good mobile phone reception allows you to set up your own hotspot if required. The spacious kitchen is equipped with two gas hobs, a fridge and freezer as well as a Nespresso coffee machine. A fondue set and raclette oven can be borrowed for cozy evenings, and various board games are also available. A special highlight is the spacious outdoor area with a cozy garden terrace, seating area and two sun loungers, from where you can enjoy a magnificent view over the valley and the mountains. The accommodation can be reached via a steep road that is not passable, so the car park is a 10-minute walk away. The use of rucksacks is recommended for transporting luggage. Dogs are welcome and smoking is permitted outdoors, making the "Obereichholzberg" holiday home an ideal retreat for nature lovers and those seeking relaxation.

Experience Tips Directly from Your Host

The region above Weesen and Lake Walensee in eastern Switzerland is a very popular hiking area with a wide range of hiking and leisure activities between the Riviera on Lake Walensee and the mountain peaks of the foothills of the Alps. Due to its remoteness, the Obereichholzberg mountain holiday home can only be reached by car via a hiking trail from Weesen or Ziegelbrücke. From Ziegelbrücke railway station, the holiday home can be reached in just over an hour on foot via a hiking trail. The holiday home can be reached by car via Höfenstrasse and Rittersbergstrasse from Weesen up to about 500 metres from the front door. The car park is about a 10-minute walk from the house.
