Family-friendly vacation rentals in Meilen

I recently had the pleasure of staying at a beautiful villa in Gerlodswil, Switzerland, and it was a truly unforgettable experience. The villa's location was fantastic, surrounded by breathtaking natural beauty, yet conveniently close to shops and restaurants. The accommodations provided the perfect balance of comfort and luxury, with a private swimming pool and a balcony offering stunning views, which became our favorite spots during the stay. What stood out the most was how everything was exactly as advertised, making it easy to enjoy both the tranquility of the area and the local amenities. Nadja, the host, was exceptional. She was incredibly kind, supportive, and always available to ensure that our stay was perfect. Her warm hospitality made us feel right at home from the moment we arrived. I highly recommend this villa to anyone looking for a peaceful and beautiful retreat in Switzerland. I couldn't have asked for a better experience!

l'appartement est superbe,la literie excellente,les commerces sont à deux pas et les transports en commun à 5 minutes. nous avons passé une semaine très agréable, reçus par notre hôte charmante et très efficace: elle nous a briefé sur toutes les activités des environs et s'est toujours montrée très réactive,et en plus elle adore le bon chocolat, ce qui veut tout dire! Bref,on conseille vivement !!!

Superb view. Great location. Easy public transportation to Zurich and all of central Switzerland. Convenient parking. Patrick, as host, is gracious, responsive, and very helpful with activity suggestions.

Amazing! We stayed for a week (April 2025) and the place was incredible. Exactly as advertised!! Great house, plenty of space and immaculately clean on arrival. Well stocked kitchen, fantastic pool and hot tub, and rapid responsive host. We loved everything about our stay, thank you. 5 stars plus!

Joys Apartment is like time traveling, it’s originally 70/80ies but extremely well kept - everything is working perfectly despite being obviously heavily used over the years. It was also extremely clean, never seen auch a clean Airbnb before. There is a bar in the basement but 100% quit. What is not so quit are the neighbors that kept running through the staircase all night. But this can be different for every stay since this is a boarding house. The only downside I can think of is the sometimes slow and somehow random communication with Joy. It was not always easy to get a helpful answer right away. Nevertheless Joy was very nice and let us stay a bit longer on our departure day which helped us a lot. Thank you Joy! Until next time!

Esther and Peter are very friendly and hospitality. Their lovely property is a detached house, we live on the first floor with shared entrance with them. The first floor flat is spacious, bright, warm and clean. It has everything we need for we cook several breakfast and dinners there. The neighbourhood is beautiful and quiet; the nearest supermarket is about 5 mins by walking. The location is about less than one hour driving to Luzern and Zurich, while more than an hour to Rhine Fall. It is a good place for you to explore that area of Switzerland by driving. We will come back again and highly recommended this place.

The home is beautiful and the views are beautiful. Paul and Theres were very responsive while we were in the home, giving us recommendations and letting us feed the animals. They were very helpful and brought us tablets as my boyfriend was ill, and they were flexible with our check out time too. I would recommend hiring a car if you want to visit other places, as there is not much to do without taking buses/trains. There are few English speakers in the area which is not a problem just something to be aware of! A beautiful stay in a beautiful home - thank you!

Amazing views. Great layout for a big family.

Everything was great, just how it was pictured. Thank you for a wonderful stay.

Wir konnten die drei Nächte in der Blockhütte rundum geniessen. Dort oben ist es so still und die Aussicht ist so schön. Dank den grossen Fenstern muss man nicht einmal aus dem Haus um den Speer und die Churfirsten zu sehen. Dank der super Lage hat man den ganzen Tag Sonne. Am Abend seht man die Lichter von den Häusern in Ebnat-Kappel.

The location of this place was great! One stop with the tram ride to reach the heart of the city, and a block away from the lake. The apartment is high end and had really nice aroma which made the space even more inviting.

Wir hatten eine wunderschöne Woche auf der Rigi. Das Chalet ist super gelegen, ruhig und mit toller Aussicht, trotzdem ist man schnell im Dorfladen oder am Bahnhof. Sandra ist freundlich und gut erreichbar, sowie überaus hilfsbereit auch bei Sonderwünschen! Wir kommen gerne wieder.

Eine Oase, mitten in der magischen Natur, umgeben von Wasser! Ein herrlicher Ort um sich für einen Moment vom Alltag auszuklingen und die Natur zu geniessen! Wir kommen im Sommer gerne wieder, um unter dem Wasserfall zu baden! Petra ist sehr nett, unkompliziert und bei Fragen zur Verfügung! Ganz herzlichen Dank!

Ein liebevoll modernisiertes Apartment, welches sehr gut gepflegt wird. Wir haben uns sofort sehr wohl gefühlt. Wir hatten nichts zu beanstanden und würden wieder kommen, wenn das Ziel Konstanz heißt. Vielen Dank!

We had a great time here! The apartment is a short walk from the train station and also near lots of restaurants. We took the train from the airport and walked to the apartment. The WC is located just outside the apartment door, but there is plenty of privacy in the hallway so it was not an issue. Martin was a great host.

Unterkunft wurde als Ersatz gebucht für 5 Wochen (Wasserschaden in der eigenen Wohnung). Die Mitarbeiter sind sehr freundlich, hilfsbereit und nett, haben immer schnell reagiert und eine Lösung für alles gefunden. Ich war sehr zufrieden mit der Unterkunft, sehr sauber und gut ausgestattet. Würde wieder kommen! :-)

The house was perfect. It had everything we needed for an enjoyable stay. Super close to a tram stop which made it easy to get into Zurich. Safe and quiet neighborhood. My mother in law ended up having emergency surgery while we were there - the hospital is a 3 minute walk from the house. Thomas and his family were so kind and helpful during a stressful situation. While the vacation did not go as planned, being in such a beautiful space made all the difference! We would love to come and stay at Thomas' home anytime!

Der Natur-Pool ist absolutes Highlight

Nice Location, very friendly hosts, all flexible, no problems, one more bed with no problem, parking for 2 cars. Plus, close to the highway and access to work perfect! All what we needed!

Super freundlicher Kontakt und schönes AIRBNB. Man sollte allerdings wissen dass der Pool gemeinschaftlich genutzt wird 😉 Das hatten wir so nicht auf dem Schirm, der freundliche Kontakt hat allerdings darüber hinweggetröstet.

Sehr gemütliches Domizil. Der eingeheitze Ofen macht den Aufenhalt zum heimeligen Erlebnis. Das Wetter war nicht so toll aber trotzdem sah ich wie atemberaubend die Aussicht ist. Ein Spaziergang zum Aussichtspunkt Winzenberg lohnt sich.

Neujahr habe ich mit meinen Freunden in dieser wundervollen Unterkunft verbracht. Die Aussicht war so wunderschön und der Aussenbereich viel grösser als gedacht. In der Unterkunft war alles nötige vorhanden und es war sehr ordentlich und sauber. Die Gastgeberin konnten wir jederzeit kontaktieren. Sehr freundlich. Würden jederzeit wieder kommen! Danke

Die Wohnung und besonders die Terrasse haben einen perfekten Ausblick auf den See. Den See erreicht man außerdem in wenigen Minuten (Lago Mio). Wir wurden herzlich von Vreni begrüßt und haben uns immer wohl gefühlt. Die Wohnung ist gut ausgestattet und sieht so aus wie auf den Bildern. Besonders haben wir uns über die Ausstattung der Küche gefreut (Gewürze, Pfannen, Töpfe, Toaster ....). Das einzige was uns an der Wohnung gestört hat, war das knarzende Bett im Schlafzimmer.

Small and cozy! Had all the necessary tools for our stay. Antonia was great and was so helpful and friendly!
