Perfect
The view was amazing and the ability to travel via the Rigi Bahn network all over the mountain was spectacular. The property owner was very communicative and helpful. Only problem was we wanted to stay longer! Unforgettable vacation.

Amazing views and Amazing Hist!!
We thoroughly enjoyed our stay! The view is phenomenal and the hosts went above and beyond to make sure we had all info we needed. We really appreciated the well equipped kitchen as well as the extra spices in hand as we cooked in a few times very well. Highly recommend!!

Early Summer trip
This property was perfect for our family! We have 6 total and it had enough room for us. The views off the balcony are something none of us will ever forget! Lothar was very communicative and I never had to wait long for an answer to a question. The house truly is only accessible by train, so you just need to plan your days according to the train schedule, which runs on average every hour. We loved visiting both towns at the base of Rigi Mtn., Weggins and Vitznau. Switzerland is a beautiful country, with amazing people! We never felt unsafe or nervous (in fact, we felt much safer there than our home). Would definitely recommend a visit and a stay at Lothar’s beautiful home!

Cozy Quiet Getaway with Beautiful Scenery
Our family enjoyed staying on this mountainside cabin overlooking Lake Lucerne. Beautiful boat trip from downtown Lucerne to experience city life and nice to come back and wind down in quiet mountainside just below the summit of Mount Rigi. Host was very hospitable with lots of tips and recommendations for the local area.

Beautiful!
This was a fantastic experience! The host Lothar was great and helped to make this a very pleasant experience. The house is exactly as described. The view from the balcony is breathtaking. The house was well appointed and had everything needed for my family to enjoy meals and time together. Very quiet and restful location. Easy access from the RIgibahn. Fantastic hiking on Mount Rigi. Easy access to Lucerne. Depending on how long you stay and what you plan to do on the mountain, take time to review the various passes for Rigibahn and cable car access. Would definitely love to visit again!

Amazing and postcard beautiful
From getting off the train to taking the boat ride over to Vitznau, then another train up one stop to our lovely Villa, this was one of the best and most beautiful vacations ever. The owner is always available via internet and even came by to meet us and deliver some fresh eggs. The view of Lake Luzern from our balcony was stunning. If you love the mountains and lake views, this is a must. If you enjoy boats, trains and hiking, this is the spot. We highly recommend staying here!!!! 5++ Stars!

Amazing View and Great for Toddler
The view of Vitznau, Lake Lucerne, the Alps, and trains can't be beat. Lothar was an excellent host. The home was perfect for our family, including our 18 month old. We grilled, hiked, and explored Mt. Rigi everyday. We will definitely consider returning in the future! Our only suggestions are to upgrade the bedroom pillows, comforters, and shower head. Thanks Lothar!

Paradise!
This was my first experience with HomeAway, I usually use that other website, and it was a wonderful trip. Lothar is an incredible host. We unfortunately arrived late, due to work, and Lothar met us and led us up the mountain to the house. It is IMPERATIVE to get there before the last train leaves the village because that hike up the mountain is intense. I do feel that Lothar adequately prepared us for the hike, and I am so thankful for him meeting us there to take us up. He is quick to respond to messages and he has a wealth of tourist information on things to see and do in the area. Lothar was so very welcoming, the place is in a great location, and the views are breathtaking! The pictures really don't do it justice. The views are truly priceless. Thank you, Lothar for allowing us to stay at your place! It made this birthday one that I'll never forget! I would definitely recommend staying at his place.

Lage und Ausblick traumhaft
Die Lage und der Ausblick sind traumhaft. Der Vermieter ist nett, gibt viele Tipps für Ausflüge und hat innerhalb weniger Minuten geantwortet. Die Ausstattung der Wohnung ist 80er-Jahre-Style.

genialer Aufenthalt
Es war ein wunderbarer Aufenthalt, wir wären gerne noch länger geblieben. Die Aussicht ist unbeschreiblich. Nach jedem unserer Ausflüge zog es uns wie magisch wieder zu unserer Terrasse. Lothar war immer irgendwie erreichbar und hat uns mit wertvollen Tipps versorgt (auch schon vor der Anreise). Sehr gerne wieder!!
