Love the house with everything you need and a wonderful view. Can't describe our experience in words. Will definitely be back but next time in the winter season to ski. Thank you for a great hospitality and services. Everyone was super friendly and helpful
We truly loved staying at Racers Retreat 5. The views were spectacular and the weather was cool and sunny in October. This property was perfect for our family of 6 adults. We made so many happy memories in Switzerland! We enjoyed the beautiful walk each day from our townhouse to the shops and train station. It was so scenic we never minded the walk, even after a full day of adventurous activities. Don't miss the paragliding, gorgeous canyon walk, roller coaster cars, and zip lines. So many fun things to do - each day was filled from morning till night. We hope to come back again to this gorgeous country!

Wonderful
We (3 adults) really enjoyed our five night stay at RR5. The view is incredible, beds are comfortable, and the location is great. It’s a nice 15 min walk into town - didn’t mind it at all, but we took advantage of the shuttle once a day. We cooked meals every day and found everything we needed in the kitchen. I will definitely be back.
We tried to have a fire one night but the fire starters that were provided don’t work well, we needed kindling or paper as well.
We loved the view! Access between the unit and Wengen was easy via the free van service during their service hours. Outside of the service hours (after 20:00 and before 08:00) it can get pricey paying for a taxi. The walk is nice but there is no sidewalk so it can be dangerous. The loft is accessible by a steep ladder and the ceiling is not standing height. The beds were super comfortable. We had a wonderful stay! The area is just spectacular for hiking and exploring.
We visited from the US and stayed in a few different places during our trip. Racer's Retreat in Wengen was by far our favorite. From the moment we walked in and saw our balcony overlooking the alps, we were in love. The service was amazing-Mandy was so helpful. We were able to get a ride with all of our luggage upon arrival and departure from the house, which was SO nice! Everytime we walked into town and then back home, it was relaxing and fun. We weren't sure what to expect on the walk but it is along a paved road and easy. We also got to see our little friends along the way (cows, goats, sheep, and some slugs).
We loved Switzerland and hopefully we can visit again. We would only stay in Wengen at The Racer's Retreat instead of going to multiple places. Anywhere we would want to go is just a train ride away.

Chalet mit Charme
Sehr ruhige Lage mit einer fantastischen Aussicht. Gut ausgestattete Küche. Die Sesselbahn, welche in das Skigebiet führt, kann man in 5 Min. gut zu Fuss erreichen.
Der Duschkopf im 2. Schlafzimmer (1. Etage links) müsste ersetzt werden (sehr harter Strahl)

Nice views
Had all that was needed for the stay. 20 min walk from train station. Beautiful place with great views.
In kitchen maybe another orange rag thing (1 not enough) or another sponge, or a microfiber rag, to help with cleaning counter/ Pots.

Great space with a great view.
It's a bit of a walk outside Wengen, but still perfect for hiking in the area.

Wonderful stay, some miscommunication
We recently had a wonderful stay in the Chalet in Wengen. The location was magnificent with great views and peaceful location. The walk to Wengen village was very nice and easily travelled in 30 minutes. The village had everything you could ask for from shopping to restaurants to transportation options.
The unit was very clean and had all the amenities described. Bedrooms were comfortable and bathrooms roomy.
Spent most mornings and evenings on the deck watching the sun hitting the mountain peaks and the Milky Way drifting overhead.
The only hiccup was a miscommunication in the VRBO listing. It described parking as an amenity. We assumed we could drive our rental car to the unit. We entered the town of Lauterbrunnen late in the evening after a 12 hour drive to find that there are no roads to Wengen. It is car-free. We tried to contact the owner through the phone number provided by VRBO but had no luck. Finally reached the caretaker who told us we needed to park at the train station, take a train from Lauterbrunnen to Wengen, hire a taxi to go to our unit. At this point, we were exhausted and decided to get rooms at a hotel in Lauterbrunnen and start fresh in the morning. It all worked out well and in hindsight was quite easy.
Further investigation finds that this same unit listed on AirB&B does mention the need to take a train for the final leg of the journey. By going through VRBO, this hit us as an unwelcome surprise as it was not mentioned and cost us some time and money. However, the quality of the rest of our visit quickly erased the bad start.
We would come back to this unit in a heartbeat.

Dis
I will start off by stating that there were many things about the unit that we loved but the kitchen floor was sticky upon arrival and there was exactly one kitchen towel (we purchased a second one and I hope housekeeping left it in the unit for the next guests). One bed was missing linens and no extras anywhere to be found in the house.
I understand that most of Europe does not use top sheets on their beds, but it was extremely hot, no air conditioning, only down comforters on the beds, and no fans. Goats (which were adorable) were grazing just out the back during our entire stay, so we had to choose between opening the windows with no screens and letting in lots of flies or a very hot and stuffy house with no fans or air conditioning.
There were four of us, but only one set of keys were provided which was very inconvenient.
One of the reasons we chose this particular was the promise of a washer and dryer. However, the dryer was not working and the owner made no effort to get in touch with the property manager when we were not able to. The owner was aware of the dryer situation before our arrival and did not mention it. Disclosing this information before our arrival would have been helpful. There were exactly 4 towels provided so it would have been nice if we had been able to wash and dry them during our stay.
There were many things about the chalet that we loved, plenty of space for four, extremely convenient for day hikes out the door, waking up to a spectacular view every morning. However, I hope to stay a little closer to town the next time I visit Wengen. The 35 minute roundtrip walk to pick up eggs and bread started to get old after a week, even though it was a fantastic walk. If this is not an issue for you and you don't need a dryer or fans, this is a lovely spot.
A beautiful chalet in the mountains with a spectacular view. The chalet is well kept and was very clean on arrival. Both Malcolm and Tracy were responsive to questions. It was a little hot at night in the chalet, a few fans would be a good addition.
The property is in great condition; everything seems new or well-maintained (the one exception was a broken dryer, but there are drying racks). Plenty of space for our family of 4; with the third full bathroom on the ground floor and the loft, it could have accommodated 2 more people very comfortably.
The walk from the village (15 minutes with some hills) was enjoyable and lovely, only an issue when we arrived with our luggage. We had a little difficulty getting a cab on the rainy night when we arrived at 8:30 but eventually figured it out. We were able to grocery shop in the village (the Co-op store is on the way out of the town center) and cook many of our meals, avoiding the pricey but good restaurants.
The walk was worth it for the amazing view from either of the two balconies, which I don't think you could easily replicate in town. Mountains (with Jungfrau visible around the corner, waterfalls, and distant Gimmelwald perched across the valley. It was like something out of Lord of the Rings. And Wengen was so convenient for hiking. Every day we would watch trainloads of passengers come through headed for Mannlichen or Jungfrau and we were glad we were most of the way there already. There are lots of hikes of all difficulty levels that can be done right from the doorstep, and the local tourism office is very helpful.
I have digressed from the property but it was perfect, with a fully stocked kitchen and plenty of paper products, and very clean.We could hear the nearby waterfall at night from our window, and the kids could hear the sheep and their bells from right across the road. My husband, who never says this about anywhere we travel, said he would return in a hearbeat.
The views are amazing, the walk is worth it (once got used to it) and the sounds of the stream mixed with the cow/goat bells was mesmerizing. The dryer did not work but that wasn't much more than a minor inconvenience. HIGHLY recommend not using the CO-OP - Dorfladen delivers and they are very friendly.
The reservation, stay and checkout all went smoothly. The property was excellent, in a quiet location with a fantastic view of the valley and mountains.

Mooi ruim huis
De informatievoorziening vooraf vond ik magertjes. Dat was bij aankomst lastig.
Het huis ligt redelijk ver van het dorp, ongeveer 20 minuten lopen. Maar slechts 5 minuten lopen van de lift onderaan de zwarte slalompiste.
Het huis is ruim met 3,5 woonlaag. De slaapkamer op zolder is lastig begaanbaar maar eenmaal boven is het ruim genoeg voor 2 personen. Keuken is goed uitgerust. Zitgedeelte is tevens ruim en gezellig. Enig nadeel zijn de eetkamerstoelen en bank, deze zijn aan vervanging toe en dus niet er comfortabel.
Zou er zeker nog eens naar toe gaan maar dan wel in de zomer. Het skigebied vond ik qua verbindingen en variatie vrij matig.

It was perfect for our family ski week
The chalet had enough room for all of us. We love the view, the sauna, the quiet. My family saw the Steinbock!
We cooked nearly every night and shopped and carried the groceries from town. We rented from and kept our skis at Ski Set, which is just across the road from the Männlichen Gondola, which was essential for us. We enjoyed the walk to and from town, with it's uphills and trees - the ~ 20 minutes to town center woke up our muscles!
Thanks, to the owner for being massively flexible when I inadvertently got our dates wrong!

Schönes Chalet für 6 Personen
Sehr sauber, im Wesentlichen gute Ausstattung (wie fast überall keine wirklich scharfen Messer, keine Teekanne -trotz englischem Vermieter :-) ). Aber das ist Feinstkritik bei insgesamt hoher Zufriedenheit.
Die Sauna ist eher Gimik, mit 2 Pesonen schon gut voll und kaum auf 85 Grad zu bringen. Tut aber dem Gesamteindruck keinen Abbruch.

Magnificent stay at Malcolm's chalet Mischkante.
Upon arrival the chalet was clean and well appointed. The view absolutely stunning. My wife and I brought our three daughters and son in law on this trip and everyone was wholly pleased. Without a doubt we would recommend staying here. You will not be disappointed.

Great location a short walk from Wengen. Nice views and very comfortable.
Stayed for 2 weeks - 2 adults + 4 children. The house was very clean, comfortable and warm. We bought all our food from the Co-Op by the station. We went hiking almost every day. There are clearly lots of places to hike in the area by taking trains / lifts to the start but don't overlook the hike from the house to Kleine Scheidegg which is very pleasant.

Stunning chalet
We had a magical three-night stay in Wengen. This chalet is about a 10-15 minute walk from the main town of Wengen and we treasured the charming daily walks. Such stunning views from the porch. The chalet had everything we needed. My only complaint is that today, upon arriving to our next destination, we discovered head lice in all family members. Given the timing, I think it’s highly probable we contracted it from the chalet. This is the only reason I rated the chalet 4 out of 5 starts. It was otherwise exceptional!
