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 sits along a quiet residential lane in Vitznau, a small Swiss village on the southern shore of Lake Lucerne. 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. Our guests receive nearly 50% discount on Rigi Bahn tickets. The property is a single-level home, which means seamless movement between every space — ideal for families with young children or anyone who prefers a layout without st
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. Ethernet connectivity 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 garden, 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; paid parking is available at the Rigi Bahn station Vitznau (CHF 8–12 per day, or a monthly pass for CHF 50). The home has a private entrance, smoke detector, carbon monoxide detector, fire extinguisher, first aid kit, and safety card — the fundamentals in order before you even arrive.
