Living and Fireplace
The main living area centres on a wood fireplace with protective guards in place. Room-darkening shades, a sound system, and board games make the space equally suited to quiet afternoons and sociable evenings for the full group.
Single-level living beside Lake Lucerne
Mittlerschwanden 13 is set in a quiet mountain hamlet above Vitznau, a small Swiss village on the southern shore of Lake Lucerne. The hamlet of Mittlerschwanden is car-free — there is no road to the house. The property is reached exclusively by the world-famous Rigi Bahn, the historic cog railway that connects Vitznau to the mountain; the journey takes just 5 minutes.
The interior is set up with genuine practicality in mind. A full kitchen carries everything from a coffee maker, oven, dishwasher, and rice maker to wine glasses, a baking sheet, and basic cooking essentials, so longer stays are as manageable as weekend ones. The fireplace anchors the living area, while room-darkening shades and a sound system let you shape the atmosphere of any evening. Very fast fibre-optic WiFi and a laptop-friendly setup mean work-from-Vitznau is a real option, not an afterthought.
Families travelling with infants and toddlers will find the home unusually well equipped: a pack-and-play travel crib, baby bath, baby monitor, baby high chair, children's dinnerware, fireplace guards, and a collection of children's books and toys are all in place. There is no need to pack light or negotiate missing gear. Board games, extra pillows and blankets, and books and reading material fill in the quieter hours.
Outdoors, the terrace, deck, and patio provide space to sit and eat in the open air, and the barbecue with utensils is ready for summer evenings. Lake access from the property connects guests directly to the water. The house is in a car-free area — Mittlerschwanden is accessible only by the Rigi Bahn cog railway, a 5-minute ride from Vitznau. Paid parking is available at the Rigi Bahn station in Vitznau.
