"The home was clean and did a few views of the lake through some small windows. The picture of there Hot tub situated on a what looks like a gravel terrace is completely false. We never even stepped into the tub (it was clean) because it sits low on a terraced yard and when you stood at the hot tub you could not even see the lake. It was actually behind the RR tracks which were not shown in the picture. We enjoyed our stay in Interlaken and exploring al the spectacular beauty but the property is definitely NOT as described. Again, a nice place but not as described which made it expensive for what we got."
