Modern spacious house

“What a beautiful country !!! Kristina\'s family gave us the opportunity to visit their homeland. To start with, the family is very nice. They have taken great care of our house and cat. Through out the year, Kristina helped us plan our trip in Switzerland. They also made us feel comfortable at their house from the very start. Going from having her very nice mother pick us up at the airport to supplying us with a very detailed book with all the instructions. The house was very spacious and bright. The view is awesome! And the patio is to die for. We also were very well situated to visit the region. Very easy access to highways which will get you to Zurich, Luzern... to name a few. There is a lot to do in the surroundings and 2 weeks was not enough. Plenty of hiking, swimming, biking to do. Alps are very close. The little village which can reached within minutes walking, has all necessities (grocery, bank, bakery). I highly recommend a swap with Kristina\'s family. It was a great experience for us !!! Thank you again and again Kristina, Joel, Muriel and Jurg for letting us into your house :)”

“We had two wonderful weeks in Benken, Switzerland, in a big spacious and very well equipped house, with bikes, rubber boat, a nice terrace, a cute cat and a beautiful view over the valley. Jürg, Kristina and their kids Muriel and Joel, made us feel very welcome and 'at home' - everything was made ready for us, and the communication with the family was really great, both before and during our stay. We were supplied with lot of information about the area with maps, touring suggestions, places to see and things to do, as well as all kinds of practical information. We found that Benken is really good located - close to both high mountains, nice cities, lakes for swimming, bike rides in the countryside, small cosy villages etc. We tried it all and feel that we really experienced a lot of Switzerland. Thanks for a great exchange in a beautiful and relaxing area.”

“We have just returned from a fantastic exchange experience in Switzerland at Juerg and Kristina's contemporary and spacious home. We were able to enjoy a comfortable house with mountain views and access a great variety of places to see. Only an hour from Zurich and between two beautiful lakes, Benken is well-placed to visit north-east Switzerland and further afield. The road and train systems are excellent. It is great for walking, and numerous other activities. Communication to plan the exchange and resolve queries worked very well. They left us comprehensive information on the house and surrounding area which was really helpful. Our house was left just as we would have wished, and we can highly recommend the family as exchange partners, and the house and area as an ideal location.”

“We really enjoyed our first home exchange at Kristina & Jurgs fabulous home in Benken. They are a very friendly family who left lots of useful information for us. The house was very comfortable, our boys enjoyed the pool and all the toys, and we loved sitting out and enjoying the views of the surrounding countryside. We loved being able to cycle from the house and there is lots to do all within a short distance. Sunny, the cat, was very playful and a pleasure to look after.”

“Big clean tidy house, beautiful terrace with splendid view. Very easy going friendly family who left loads of information for us. A very well organized exchange - we can give our best recommendations for Benken :-)”

“A great exchange - we really enjoyed our stay. The area is ideal for short and longer trips around Benken. We travelled with 3 kids and especially appreciated that we could go for trips on foot and bike straight from the house. When the kids were in bed we enjoyed the terrace with a splendid view over the valley and the Benken village. Switzerland has a lot to offer. There are plenty activities, beautiful nature and cultural attractions in the cities around Benken. (st. Gallen, Zurich, Zug and Luzerne). We enjoyed the cycling in the valley and the swimming in the several lakes. Kristina & Jurg have a very comfortable house and are very friendly and easy going and made us feel very welcome - THANK YOU! We enjoyed looking after your rabbits !!”
