Kid-friendly vacation rentals in Appenzell Ausserrhoden

I was in the house with my parents and sister with 2 children. Everyone felt very comfortable from the start. The house is great and decorated with a lot of love. Nothing is missing. The house is very suitable for children, it has a lot of toys, 2 cribs, baby monitor, etc.

We had a wonderful time at this place in Appenzell! If you are looking for peace, seclusion and nature, this is the case. The location is fantastic with breathtaking views of the surrounding mountains. The accommodation itself is well equipped, we didn't miss anything. Everything is furnished with a lot of love for detail and very well maintained. We felt comfortable from the first moment.

We spent New Year's Eve here. Annina and Tim welcomed us nicely, with cervela and salad, which they prepared especially for us. The highlight was the hot tub - just great to warm up there in the evening surrounded by winter scenery!

There were two of us in the beautiful part of Wendy and Sven's house. Wendy welcomed us and showed us the charming apartment in her Appenzell house. In the spacious kitchen we were able to cater perfectly, the fridge is large and there is plenty of dishes available. Great that there is also a dishwasher! Tabs, detergent, sponge, enough kitchen towels, everything available. Also plenty of towels and toilet paper. We didn't miss anything. We took beautiful hikes and had good food in neighboring Heiden. We also visited the Henry Dunant Museum in Heiden - very interesting! In the cozy living room, we were able to relax well and review our experiences. The ceilings and door frames are low because it is an old, very pretty, renovated Appenzell house, you have to be a little careful. We're looking forward to our next visit with Wendy and Sven!

Thank you, Marcel and Karin! You made us feel really cared for 🙂. Out of all my experiences you balanced the place and host the best - both welcoming!

The home was more beautiful than the pictures portrayed and the views spectacular.

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

Our stay was perfect in all parts. The cottage is centrally located and yet very quiet. The setup is in all parts of the description. We highly recommend holidays in Appenzell.

The apartment is centrally located yet quiet. The train station, supermarket and bakery are a 5-minute walk away. The kitchen is very well equipped (including raclette oven and fondue caquelon). It is worth booking at least three nights to benefit from the best holiday card in Switzerland (including free return trip by train). We felt very comfortable with Hans and Hildegard and will come back.

Very positive experience overall. Tarik's place met my expectations; the neighborhood is quiet and at a walking distance from the main station. Tarik was incredibly responsive and helpful during my stay. Definitely recommend it!

We felt very comfortable with Rosemarie. She provided a crib and high chair for our 2-year-old daughter. We really appreciated that. Communication was great and we found the place easily. You can walk quickly to the village and the train station. So you can leave the car parked the whole vacation. We liked it very much. Always happy to come back!

Very nice apartment with a wonderful view over the east end of the city. Charming, quiet, and practical. Note: 5 flights of stairs, no elevator. No problem if you are in decent shape.

As we traveled across Switzerland it was a very good and convenient place to stay overnight

we spent almost 5 months of our lives here, and all I can say is it was an absolute pleasure and experience to have lived here, and we would definitely be back to this place that we called home.

I immediately felt comfortable in Katja's beautiful place. Everything was clean, cozy and quickly warm. It was wonderfully quiet - I enjoyed the tranquility and the beautiful surroundings very much. Katja always responded promptly to my messages - was approachable and friendly. I'll be back:)

Great Airbnb. I’d stay here again. It was easy to find and it was clean. The town is right in an area where it’s easy to get to a lot of nearby towns and attractions in both Switzerland and Austria.

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

My brother and I greatly enjoyed our stay at Jasmin’s lovely apartment. She and Clement were so welcoming and provided us with breakfast goodies as well. The apt was close to the Theater bus stop and it was extremely easy to get around if we chose to walk to the main sights. There was both a wonderful bakery and coffee shop less than a block away. I very much recommend this spacious apartment.

We had a wonderful time at Susanne's place. The apartment is so lovingly furnished, a great mix of modern elements and many traditional old pieces of furniture. There was everything you could ask for: from children's dishes, to a large selection of spices, to children's toys, which Susanne even added to after we checked in. In addition, the area is the perfect starting point for numerous excursions. You can quickly reach larger towns, both by car and by train, can start hikes directly in the village or go with children to the playground, pump trail, etc. Shopping is also within walking distance. All in all it was a wonderful vacation in what has been the best Airbnb for us so far! Thank you, Susanne :)

We had a pleasant stay over Easter weekend and felt right at home. Ines's place is bright and comfortable. The kitchen is well stocked with cooking pots and utensils. The loft has a very low ceiling and the ladder up is quite steep, so really suited just to the young and agile. Getting into St. Gallen by car only took a few minutes.

This studio is excellent and the kitchen is perfectly equipped. We felt right at home from the first moment, also ideal for longer stays. Whether St. Gallen or the Appenzell region, Lake Constance or the city of Zurich, from Gossau you can easily get there by public transport. We'll be back for sure.

Super great place to stay, and very nice hostess! The listing is exactly as described. Everything you need is available and nothing is missing. Should a question or concern arise, the hostess is quickly available and always very helpful. Will come again any time!

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.
