RAST's the Engel
Noisy clan, Kuweit, Review Submitted: March 17, 2011 Date of Stay: July 2011 We are a family of 5. We stayed for a week in late July/2010. The appartment is sapatious and spotless.
Although it's in the center of the village, the view form the terrace(both sides) is senic. The terrace itself is very well kept, managed, furnished and landscaped. Top marks. The insied is comfortable and nicley furnished. The kitchen has every thing you need. A second bathroom would be nice, especially withe our three children. But it was a good opportunity to stengthing the vertue of sharing and thoughtfullness among ourselfes. All the village points of intrest are within enjoyable walking distance. That includes train station, shoping, grocery, doctor...etc.
Last but not least are the Rast's. There generousty and kindness is unforgetable. They did everything to make our stay in their lovely home no less than perfect.
I highly recommond visting Engelberg, as well as staying at this lovely apartment.

we found the apartment spacious, very clean and comfortable, and especially were pleased with the location to the city as well as the wonderful outdoor spaces provided. the unit was well equipped and comfortable for our stay. the beds were nice and we appreciated the comforters provided. we enjoyed your hospitality and enjoyed trying to speak a little Deutsch with your in-laws who were very nice, indeed. we would be pleased to stay again in the unit if we ever travel to engelberg in the future.

What a wonderful and relaxing stay we had at Schonegg apartment in Engelberg!! The description for the property was, in our view accurate, the facilities had all 'mod cons' and felt home from home. Our apartment was spotlessly clean and it certainly is most spacious! The Owners made us feel welcome and were most helpful.
We enjoyed the shops in Engelberg itself, there is a great pizzeria in the village which we enjoyed on our first night driving down to Switzerland, and other restaurants, plus cafe's where you can enjoy snacks, lunches and coffees etc. There is also a marvellous supermarket not too far away which has everything you could wish for re. food and toiletries which is brilliant for self catering. We thoroughly enjoyed a meal one evening in the garden of the Alpenclub restaurant in Engelberg, fantastic food and view of the mountains!!!
We enjoyed exploring locally by mountain bike, there is a very good bike hire shop nearby which opens at 08.30 in the morning. We all enjoyed rides up to and around the lake in Engelberg and beyond, for bike riders there are lots of scenic routes you can take.
We had the use of the Owner's large garage for the length of our stay which was very useful, to explore Engelberg itself you don't necessarily need to drive, just park and walk! The apartment itself is on a slight hill and has a few little steps at the front down to the local shops, it was a very quiet peaceful location and the view from the sitting room/ diner window was beautiful. Our family also enjoyed touring central Switzerland, the boat trip to Lake Lucerne was unforgettable, so was our visit on a lovely old cog railway train to the summit of Jungfraujoch mountain, yes, quite expensive but very much worth it in our eyes. Plenty to see and do. The lakes we passed in central Switzerland are really a vivid blue and green. In all, we had one of the most scenic and relaxing holiday stays. Highly recommended.

We thoroughly enjoyed our holiday in Engelberg and thought the apartment was stunning. Certainly one of the very best we have stayed at in terms of equipment, cleanliness, position (in the heart of Engelberg with a super atmosphere - but quiet and peaceful at night), accommodation space and - those mountain views are just world class!
We felt very welcome by the friendly owners. They couldn't do enough to help us and make sure everything was to our liking, but at no time did we feel in any way invaded or lacking privacy.
There is so much to do in the area for those who appreciate incredible scenery and are looking for a truly outdoor themed holiday. There are walks, climbs, mountain bike trails plus enough cable-car, mountain railway and gondala rides to give every day a different but equally exciting edge.
It's a great place for a young family, couples or individuals to take a relaxing holiday and enjoy this beautiful alpine scenery. We certainly intend to be back one day.
One very small niggle only - the accommodation is (certainly was) advertised with a washing machine. This facility exists, but there is an extra-over charge, which we felt was a bit on the steep side. Maybe the advertising should be updated a little to ensure this is more accurately described. A minor point, which shouldn't put you off in any way.
Once again - a wonderful holiday in a magnificent apartment situated in a stunningly beautiful part of the world. Marvellous!

Clean, tidy and just a few stairs off the main shopping road of Engelberg. We had to walk less from the apartment to the bus and the bus to the ski lift to Titlis than from a car on the Titlis parking lot to the lift. Good apartment.
It is also very near to the train station. We did not need a car in Engelberg, and would suggest taking the train from the Zurich airport rather than renting a car. The SBB have tons of different discounts and they will haul your bags and skis to/from Engelberg from the airport.
