What Our Guests Say...

'I’ve stayed at Rudin Residence a couple of times and each trip was magical! Our first trip was a friends group birthday celebration and next a family get away with our toddler. The Rudin’s made us feel beyond welcome and have a real sense of celebrating life and occasions. Their relaxed yet professional approach met all our expectations and more. Being a young family they were well equipped for our toddler and shared great knowledge on the local area for fun days out as a family.

The chalet is set in the most perfect postcard scenery, waking up to views of rolling hills and mountains. There is a play area for children, chill out areas and their own veggie garden, which we got to enjoy! The walks, hikes and bike rides accessible right on the doorstep makes this the perfect adventure holiday, alternatively, sit back in the hammock on the balcony and take in the Swiss scenery. The chalet is also really close to the local train station, which anything at ease is a bonus when travelling with children. Close by is Thun and Interlaken with beautiful lakes and many activities.

​

We absolutely loved staying with The Rudin’s and look forward to returning in the future'

Our

Story

Meet the Rudins

Hello, we are Kat (British) and Tricky (Swiss) Rudin. We met while doing winter seasons in Saas-Fee, a ski resort just a couple of hours away from the Rudin Residence in Erlenbach im Simmental.

​

We’ve always built our lives around the mountains, so when the opportunity arose to move to a traditional Swiss farmhouse, we couldn’t resist. 

​

After a short time living here with very basic amenities, we felt that the farmhouse was built to share and we could see its potential for welcoming guests. Little did we know, we would spend the next five years devoting all our time and energy into its immaculate restoration.

​

We have lovingly transformed this traditional farmhouse into a cosy, bright, and comfortable home for our small family, with separate accommodation for up to ten guests and spaces to support intimate retreats and workshops.

​

We can’t wait to welcome you to the mountains.

Peace and love,

Kat & Tricky
