Sunset House with gorgeous view of the lake

A short distance from a water park, sledding, and more, this family-friendly vacation home lets you experience it all. Jump into your car and make short work of the 4-minute drive to Gruyère Pays-d'Enhaut Regional Nature Park or the 5-minute drive to Château de Chillon (and enjoy the property's convenient onsite parking in the meantime). If you're looking to expand your horizons and see other nearby locales, you can catch a train at Chernex Station, a short 7-minute walk away.

After you return to this 1938-sq-ft vacation home, unwind in the hot tub or sip a drink in the garden, and don't forget about the outdoor furniture. As for the great indoors, you can try your hand at foosball and table tennis, or enjoy the free WiFi and cable/satellite TV.

This 3-bedroom, 2.5-bathroom rental features a living room, a BBQ grill, a fireplace, and a desk. Bathroom amenities include a hair dryer, towels, and toilet paper. Prepare a home-cooked meal in the kitchen, complete with an oven, a stovetop, and a refrigerator, as well as a coffee maker, an electric kettle, and an ice maker. And you won't have to pack extra clothes, because you'll have a washer and dryer, too.
