The weather was perfect while we were there, so we spent most of our time exploring the whole area. But, we always came home for dinner together. The kitchen had everything we needed to cook (no microwave), and grocery stores were easy to get to. We are a tall family, so be aware that anyone 6 feet tall or more will be at risk of hitting their head often. We lovingly referred to Chalet Esther as our dollhouse as low ceilings and doorways made the space feel tiny. But, the location was worth it! Close to the sea, the 2 train stations, and food shops, on a traditional and beautiful street. No washing machine, do plan accordingly. ##### Rebecca W. Stayed 4 nights in Jun 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Martin K. 22 Aug 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy What a great place to stay in Brienz! The house is on an absolutely beautiful street with great views of the surrounding mountains. The house was extremely clean and really comfortable. The low ceilings remind you that you are in an historic place. Our boys loved swimming in the lake each day and the house is only steps from the water. ##### Martin K.

A nice and clean house in a beautiful location. We were warmly greeted by the hostess, and received a lot of information about all the activities that were available in the area. Compliments for the hospitality of the hostess. She was always there for us when we needed something. On Sunday we wanted to go to church and the hostess immediately checked whether this was possible. In summary, this stay is worth repeating.
