Kid-friendly holiday rentals in Appenzell Ausserrhoden

We were able to spend super nice days at Manuela's cottage for the second time. Everything was perfect again. The large garden was a highlight for young and old to play, discover or relax. We really appreciated the many toys for the kids. The house is also very lovingly furnished. Thank you very much dear Manuela.

johannes was a very forthcoming host, whenever we ve had an issue he was very quick in response. also did he offe us a refund since we have had some issues while staying. but since he resolved these greatly there is nothing to complain about. would again stay at his lovely house. thanks for hosting!

Thank you very much Annina and Tim for the great weekend we were able to spend with you with your warm, flexible hospitality. The view from the HotPot is magnificent. Thanks for warming up on the 2nd day :)

Beautiful location even without leaving the house, just looking through windows or on balcony. But otherwise within 30 mins driving anywhere you go it's a pleasure, particularly if you like hiking. House is very comfortable and quiet, we particularly were impressed with how well stocked the kitchen was - even if we did not have food with us on arrival we would not be hungry 😀. So far I'd say our favorite area in whole Switzerland and great location. All kinds of local information is provided by hosts, including maps - very thoughtful and greatly appreciated. When we come back to Switzerland this is the area we would like to come back to most and explore further and this is the house we would consider renting first, if available. Host was also very responsive, which always is appreciated.

The property was as described and very clean. There was everything you need and we felt very comfortable.

We have already been for the 2nd time in this wonderful place and enjoyed the 5 days very much. Here we feel very much at home and everything you need is available. The place is very clean, quietly located, cozily furnished, everything is available and Marlis is a super host! What more could you ask for? We'll be back for sure! Being able to experience the old New Year's Eve (Chlausen) in Urnäsch was an absolute highlight and very impressive. You can also take great, beautiful hikes in the area. We highly recommend this place! Marlis, thank you for everything and see you another time :-). José and Urs Oggier, Valais

The location where the cottage is located is really nice! You have a great view of the Säntis and can start hiking directly from the accommodation. The accommodation was as described, only the curtains were a little too translucent for us. We were on site with two dogs and felt very comfortable :-)

We had a lovely family week in this cottage. It is small, but lovely small and it makes you feel right at home. Garden is beautiful, with stream cutting right through. It has two terraces, wood fired grill and lovely quite location away from neighbours. Location is superb as well to discover Lake Constance. Thank you.

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay in this charming little Appenzeller apartment. Just like the picturesque town it’s located in, the home is equally beautiful and inviting. Irene and Bernhard were incredibly thoughtful hosts, providing everything we could possibly need during our stay. Since we stayed for three nights, we received the Appenzell Vacation Cards, which included a range of complimentary activities and gifts. We're happy to recommend this wonderful stay to others!

We enjoyed our holiday in the very clean and super equipped apartment. By car we made many excursions and also on site we used some hiking trails. We felt very welcome, could contact Michael at any time and got good excursion tips. We will be happy to come back!

We spent 9 nights in Brigitte's apartment, which is located above Appenzell (about 10 minutes' walk from the center) on the edge of the forest and offers a wonderful view of the Alpstein. Wonderfully quiet and close to nature. The granny flat of the farmhouse has recently been tastefully and gently renovated, with the well-equipped kitchen and bathroom being new and ultra-modern, while the large living room and bedroom have been preserved in the old, characterful style. Brigitte is a very warm host. She provided us with current tips (for alpine ascents you have to get up early...;-) and answered our questions within a very short time. We were completely satisfied! There is a lot of beauty to see and discover around Appenzell: tasting alpine bitters, show dairy, baking beavers, indoor swimming pool, village tour, golf course Gonten, etc... Säntis with Schwägalp, Ebenalp with the Äscher, Kronberg and Hoher Kasten offer great hikes for everyone. Recommended.

We thoroughly enjoyed the stay. The apartment was very clean and lovingly furnished. The view was beautiful and there is much to discover in the area. We will be happy to come back!

We had a wonderful experience much thanks to Remi! He was friendly, articulately communicative, super helpful and generous. The place was clean, comfortable and in an amazing location. I highly recommend!

Very nice accommodation, good bedding, nice decoration, we were able to cook without worries Well located for hiking departure, accessible by public transport The only downside is the road that can be heard but we recommend this apartment, we are ready to come back

The contact with Dorothee was straightforward and friendly. Check-in was flexible and the apartment was very nicely decorated and clean. I would come back anytime and recommend the place. Many thanks, dear Dorothee!

We had a great time at Irene's place. The accommodation is very spacious, clean and matches the description and photos. the location is ideal if you want to do the hikes (schafler, Saxe Lucke,...) Thank you to Irene and her husband for their hospitality. we recommend:)

Beautiful little apartment from which you can walk to everything important in Herisau. The amenities were great and nothing was missing. Parking spot outside the house is great.

Perfect place – Absolutely recommended! We had a wonderful stay at this great apartment! Everything was exactly as described, if not better. The apartment is clean, modern and well equipped – we immediately felt comfortable. The host was incredibly friendly and helpful, from booking to departure. He gave us great tips for the area and was always available when we had a question. The location is ideal, whether for sightseeing or relaxing. We will definitely be back and highly recommend this place! Thank you for the great time! Kind regards, Victoria

Very nicely renovated apartment in a historic house in the middle of the village of Urnäsch. Susanne welcomed us in a very friendly way and was concerned for our well-being. The apartment is well equipped, even for children. We had a lovely few days here.

I had a wonderful stay, Ines was very helpful and gave great recommendations of beautiful locations to visit. I would definitely go back!

Very clean and neat apartment, in a quiet and super well-connected location! I highly recommend it!! ☺️☺️

Large apartment that is well furnished with a kitchen, dishwasher and washer/dryer. The neighbourhood is also very quiet - all we could hear were birds chirping. We also appreciated the clear instructions given by Raphael and Dianna. Overall, this is a perfect place to stay if you want to explore the Appenzell region!

My apartment was in a great location. perfect for riding my bicycle. The apartment is very comfortable with everything one needs.

Overall, the place was very suitable. I'm used to a lot of space so coming to Europe (from Canada) there is always a bit of a sacrifice. Irene's place is very nice and has a great view but there are a few things you should know. First, it's an old boarding house with lots of stairs. You're staying on the top floor so you will have to carry your luggage up 5 flights of stairs. You have the entire space to yourself but Irene lives on the main floor. You're on the 3rd floor. There is laundry but it's in the basement and Irene charges 3 francs. Well worth it and you have pretty much exclusive access. The view is incredible and there is a little deck you can stand on and take in the view. Kitchen is new and has everything you need. Irene even left some bread, cheese, meats and yogurt out for me. The location is on a giant hill but so is most of Switzerland so nothing out of the ordinary. There is a small store up the street but most things require a vehicle to get around.
