Family European trip
Great location and view of the Mountains. Easy walk to nearby trails. There was a Full kitchen which was great. There was great attention to details which greatly improved our stay! The clothes dryer was a bit slow to dry and needed multiple attempts but otherwise everything was amazing!

Perfect Swiss Chalet
The house and property exceeded our expectations. The Swiss look and feel was perfect. We were constantly amazed with the views. And the sound of the nearby T falls were awesome. We wish the Falls were open for a hike but they were closed for the winter season. The house was 5 minute walk to the bus station. Check with locals if the bus fare is free during non peak season. The house provided everything we needed and the shower was great. If tall, be careful. Ceilings were about 6 feet in many places. Bus schedule and cable car system were very regular so it was easy to travel. Laundry room was very useful to us. Check with locals on condition of nearby hiking trails during off season. We were unable to do the Northface trail due to snow (in early April). All in all, our experience was fantastic and I highly recommend!!!

Great Chalet in Lauterbrunin
We had such a good time staying here. Everything was great. We had fun pointing it out while going through the falls. Beware if you're tall because youbwill hit your head and the shower room is very low ceiling. It's completely manageable though so doesnt take away from the experience!

Stunning View
The view of the Lauterbrunnen valley is the most positive aspect of this chalet. The chalet is roomy. Lots of USB ports are available. The basics were provided in the kitchen. Washer and dryer were located in the basement and worked great. The outside patio was delightful.
The chalet is not located in downtown Lauterbrunnen but quite a ways out of town. Thus, the chalet is quiet and very peaceful. The ceilings are very low and my 5’11 husband was constantly ducking. There is no bathroom upstairs where the bedrooms are located. If you have mobility issues, the steep stairs will be an issue.
I would classify this chalet as rustic with an incredible view of waterfalls and the valley.

Fabulous Home
This home was the perfect place for our family to stay to see the absolutely gorgeous Jungfrau Region. We are a family with 5 young children plus my 80-year old uncle. My uncle stayed in the basement bedroom, which worked out well despite needing to go down the stairs outside to access his room, which he said was cozy. The rest of us stayed upstairs, with 4 kids in the big room and the parents plus baby in the small room. It's not a large home, but had plenty of space for us. The ceilings are low, but the views and the backyard made up for it and more. The kids loved the swing and the little creek running along. Trummelbach falls empty within sight of the house. We used the free bus every day to go to Lauterbrunnen to catch the train or funicular to reach all of the nearby villages. It's a stunning region with so much to do in every season, and we would love to go back. The kitchen had everything we needed to make our meals, and the fondue pot was a fun treat one night. This home is a delight and the owners have thought of everything, plus special touches, to make it the perfect place to stay.

Really beautiful but slightly inconvenient
Just want to start by saying I do think this is a pretty perfect VRBO for families with a car wanting to explore the Bernese Oberland on the cable cars. And the setting is indeed gorgeous, even if the waterfalls weren't really flowing when we were there (mid March).
I booked this property with my husband and two couple-friends of ours. I was a little worried because we wouldn't have a car, but knowing there was a bus stop nearby eased my fears. It turns out that you really should have a car if you're going to stay here. While the bus does come every half hour in the morning, it becomes hourly after 8, and we often found ourselves killing time waiting for the next bus to take us home at night.
Additionally, while the layout makes sense for family, it would have been a little awkward with the way the beds are set up if our couple-friends had actually been able to make the trip (something came up). As it was, my husband and I did just fine, but I wanted to be honest in my review.

Beautiful Location; Cozy House
We had a lovely stay at the Waterfall Chalet. The space was very clean and well cared for and the view was incredible. If you are there on a clear night, don't forget to go outside and look at the stars - we could see the Milky Way clearly.
We had some trouble with the internet, but the host was very responsive and was able to fix the problem during our stay.
A few notes for families:
1) There are two adjoining bedrooms on the 2nd floor. The larger room has a double bed and a twin. The smaller room (which you pass through to get to the larger) has a double. There is no bathroom on the second floor and the stairs are quite steep so very young kids may need some help with the stairs.
2) The third bedroom is in the cellar and is accessed via the down a set of stairs outside of the house. It has 2 twin beds. This would probably be ideal for extra adults or teens (as opposed to young children) as it requires going into the house to use the bathroom as well.
3) The laundry room is also located in this area by a separate entrance. The washer and dryer are private and work great.
4) There is no bathtub and the shower entrance is very small so it could be challenging for larger body types or for parents attempting to assist younger kids. However, the shower head height is adjustable so younger kids can take a kid-height shower. :)
5) Kitchen was well-equipped with a microwave, oven/stove, European-style mini fridge (freezer is in the cellar in the laundry room)

Perfect waterfall location
We loved the little chalet as our base while staying in the Lauterbrunnen area. As other reviews say, yes the ceilings are very low, which added to the character of the chalet. We spent much our our time outside. The sun set early on the mountain so we got some shade early, which helped on the hot days since there’s no AC in the chalet.
Overall it was a great place to stay and the host was responsive when we needed things.

Our family stay
This property was something my family and I had been looking forward to since the moment we booked the property. The pictures on vrbo didn’t do it justice! We were able to see the Jungfraujoch region as well as 3 different waterfalls from the backyard! The house was in a nice and quiet neighborhood and super close to trummelbach falls! The house was perfect for my family of four and we will definitely be back to this property if we ever visit again!!

Nice apartment
Location for us was great. The complex is lovely, the upkeep is great.
The apartment has everything you need and so near the pool.
The only downside are the beds, bed linen and towels which do need attention
The Waterfall Chalet is perfectly situated for travelers coming by car or public transport. We were a mixed group of ages and transportation needs. We found that the house accommodated us all well in terms of space and amenities. Our kids especially loved the spacious yard/garden with swing-set. It really is hard to find a better view of the valley than at the Waterfall Chalet. Thank you, Juliet and Lina for sharing a beautiful home with those of us lucky enough to visit Lauterbrunnen.

Great chalet in Stechelberg
Just loved the quaint chalet in Stechelberg right by Trummelbach Falls. Clean and anything we needed. Everything very well organized and easy to find the chalet. The cows with their bells was an added plus! We did bring a little flash light walking to the chalet because it is dark. Would do it again! Thank you so much.

Beautiful little house in the most stunning location
Juliet’s House is simply beautiful. An old Swiss Chalet in an amazingly beautiful location. All the rooms are spacious enough for 3/4 people, although the house can sleep 6/8 - one bedroom located outside and under the house. And the house has low ceilings - if you are tall this is something to note. We enjoyed spending time in the garden admiring the scenery and stars at night. Waterfall chalet was a beautiful place to stay and would recommend it to anyone wanting to stay in a traditional Swiss chalet. Contact with Juliet was great, she was always quick to reply and we never had any issues trying to get a hold of her. Before we booked we had asked if dogs were allowed to stay there, as we were travelling from Scotland with our two golden retrievers. We were told that they could, and there is an enclosed garden for them to run around. This was a bonus for us as we could sit in the garden and let the dogs play in the garden without worry (although the fence is small so if your dog is a jumper then you would need to keep an eye on them) The only points I have to note is that the booklet in the house needs updated to provide more accurate information on some of the activities. The living room could be a little cosier - with table lamps and another couch, as if you have 6/8 people staying there isn’t enough room for everyone. But overall it was a lovely stay and we really enjoyed staying here and our time in Lauterbrunnen

Location and awesome outside space
We (4 adults and 4 kids) were pretty shocked at how small the property was when we arrived, but amazingly we were very comfortable for our entire week-long stay. The outside space is key, especially with little kids. And the location of the Chalet is just perfect. The kitchen is well equipped too. The only weird thing is that you have to go outside to access the basement bedrooms, which would be a total pin is you have kids sleeping down there since you'd have to go back outside to go to the bathroom.

Simple private tranquil and great for kids
This is a great place to stay. Two large waterfalls and a stream right behind us with amazing views of the Breithorne provided a very tranquil stay. Having three young boys with us, the yard and being a private house all to ourselves made it a lot less stressful place to be. I am about 6 feet tall so the low ceilings caused me to duck a little bit but it wasn’t a big deal.
