What you will love about this home
Our home was built over 200 years ago in the traditional Appenzell style. Its southern exposure offers spectacular views of the nearby alpine Mountain chain, called “Alpstein”. The rural surroundings are ideal for people seeking tranquility in nature and also allow an insight into the local farming culture. You can buy your milk directly from the farm! There are hiking trails directly from the house and mountain hiking possibilities in the Alpstein mountains.
Six years ago we renovated our house, keeping in tune with the traditional wood construction of this area. We updated the kitchen, main living area and the upstairs bedrooms, while preserving heritage elements, as the two ceramic tile stoves, the wooden windows and doors and the wood floors.
Prepare your gourmet meals with local ingredients in our state of the art kitchen with gas range, steam oven as well as convection oven and dishwasher. Enjoy your meal in our wood paneled dining room and afterwards cozy up in front off the tile stove. The three spacious bedrooms are all furnished with queen size beds. There are bathrooms on both upper floors and a powder room on the main and downstairs. You have access to two computers with high speed and WiFi internet connection, a TV w/ cable and DVD player and a stereo system.
On a sunny day you can enjoy our garden and patio area with the barbecue and fire bowl.
Non smokers only.

What you will love about this neighborhood
Our home is located at the end of a cul-de-sac road in the small village of Rehetobel (1700 inhabitants). Directly behind the house there is access to nature trails leading into the hill top landscape of “Appenzellerland”. The village centre hosts shopping facilities for local produce and crafts as well as a public outdoor pool. In winter you can explore the stunning snow covered landscape on cross-country skis or snow shoes. Smaller alpine ski areas are closed by, touristic ski resorts are about 45 to 90 minutes to drive. (Toggenburg, Montafon, Pizol, Laax/Flims, Klosters, Arosa Lenzerheide and more.)
There are several restaurants in the village where you can try out the local cuisine. We recommend the Restaurant Urwaldhaus outside the village with traditional food and the Gasthaus Gupf, located on the hill-top above Rehetobel. There you can enjoy four star gourmet menus while taking in the spectacular panoramic view and if you like you can have a look at extraordinary wine seller
Just 4 km outside Rehetobel you can treat yourself to a wellness/spa day. The local hot spring feeds into a wellness centre with indoor/outdoor pool, Jacuzzi, steam room and sauna. The centre also offers massage, Ayurveda, TCM and physio treatment.
In the main neighboring village, called Heiden (6 km), you have access to a wider range of restaurants and shopping possibilities.
The closest major city: St.Gallen is only 12 km away and has a lot to offer: Walk through the pedestrian zoned city centre with its outstanding European architecture and find a wealth of shops, restaurants and a daily market. - Explore the world famous baroque cathedral with its library containing a copy of the first printed book by Guttenberg. - Experience local culture in one of the art galleries, concert halls or even the soccer stadium.
A 30 min. drive away is a gorgious golf course (golf gonten) and less then half an our drive you can go for a swim in Lake of Constance.
Our home is an ideal hub for exploring the rest of Switzerland or traveling within central Europe. We are located within an hour drive of the Alps and of both the Austrian city of Bregenz and the German city of Konstanz. A well organized train system connects you to all surrounding countries: Italy, France, Germany and Austria.
