Escape to Paradise: Stunning Farmhouse in Habkern, Switzerland (Parking Included!)
Escape to Paradise: Stunning Farmhouse in Habkern, Switzerland (Parking Included!)
Escape to Paradise: Habkern Farmhouse - It's Swiss Bliss (and They Actually Have Parking!)
Okay, folks, buckle up. Because I'm about to tell you about a place that might just make you weep with joy (or at least, sigh contentedly). We’re talking about Escape to Paradise: Stunning Farmhouse in Habkern, Switzerland. And yes, blessedly, parking is included! (Because seriously, Switzerland and parking? It's a struggle, I promise.)
Let's get one thing straight: I'm not usually a "farmhouse" kind of gal. I’m more of a "concrete jungle with a side of artisanal coffee" type. But Habkern… Habkern is different. It's like they bottled up a fairytale, dusted it with a touch of Swiss efficiency, and then sprinkled it liberally with chocolate. (Okay, I made that last part up. But you get the vibe.)
First, the Essentials (and the Stuff That Makes You Swoon):
- Accessibility: I'm not an expert on accessibility – maybe someone else can dig deeper there. But the presence of an elevator is a positive sign, and they do mention "facilities for disabled guests," so check the details to be sure it suits your needs.
- Internet - Thank GOD: Free Wi-Fi in ALL ROOMS! We can all breathe a collective sigh of relief. I need my Instagram, my emails…look, I need something to keep me connected to reality while I'm supposed to detach.
- Cleanliness and Safety: This is HUGE right now. They're advertising anti-viral cleaning products, daily disinfection, sanitized everything, and all the hygiene certifications. Peace of mind is a big selling point. It’s a plus to know the place is taking safety seriously.
The Spa & Relaxation - My Happy Place…Maybe:
Alright, let's be real. This is the part where I get slightly hyperventilated. We're talking:
- Pool with a View: Hello, Insta-worthy sunsets! I picture myself sipping something bubbly, gazing over the Alps. Or maybe just splashing around while pretending I'm Heidi.
- Sauna, Spa, Steamroom: Listen, I'm all about the detox. Give me the heat, give me the sweat, give me the feeling of being a brand new human.
- Massage, Body Scrub, Body Wrap: Okay, this is getting dangerous. I might just become a permanent fixture. I'm already envisioning myself in a fluffy bathrobe, utterly blissed out.
Here's Where it Gets Extra Good:
- The Food, Oh, the Food! Asian Breakfast (interesting!), and a buffet option, plus restaurants on site. They even have a vegetarian restaurant! I am always curious about the Vegetarian options, and it may be nice.
- Services and Conveniences That Make Life Easier: They have a concierge, a convenience store, and…wait for it…DRY CLEANING! (I'm a disaster with laundry. Seriously.) There is also food delivery.
- Stuff For the Kids: Babysitting. Kids' meals. Facilities for the little ones. Perfect for a family getaway.
The Rooms: Where you'll actually spend the night!
- Rooms are non-smoking.
- Rooms include: Air conditioning, Alarm clock, Bathrobes, Blackout curtains, Desk, Extra long bed, Free bottled water, Hair dryer, In-room safe box, Internet access, Ironing facilities, Mini bar, Refrigerator, Satellite/cable channels, Seating area, Separate shower/bathtub, Slippers, Soundproofing, Telephone, Toiletries. Plus more, but these were listed first.
The Imperfections (Because No Place is Truly Perfect):
Look, I didn’t dig deep enough to know what the specific accessibility features are. This would probably require a separate call to the hotel. Also, pets may apparently not be allowed!
The Quirky Stuff (That Makes it Human):
I'm imagining myself sitting in the room, having a cup of coffee. If there's a shared balcony with people staring out, I'd have to join them, and strike up a conversation.
The Emotional Response…and the Really Good Part:
My biggest emotional reaction? A feeling of relief. In a world gone crazy, knowing there are havens like this, places that promise peace, delicious food, and stunning views, is a comfort. This place is a promise: a promise of unplugging, of recharging, of forgetting the world outside. And let's be real, after the year we've all had, we deserve that. I would love to go.

Escape to Paradise: Wingston Treehouse Hotel, Radha Kund's Hidden Gem
Alright, buckle up buttercups! This isn't your sterile, perfectly-organized travel brochure. This is the REAL DEAL. My experience at the Serene Farmhouse in Habkern, Switzerland, parking in Habkern… well, here goes nothing! (And let's be honest, I'm still recovering from the trip, mentally. Swiss cheese is addictive, you know?)
Day 1: Arrival and the Sheer Panic of "Right, Where IS Habkern?"
- Morning: Okay, so the flight was endless. Actually, let's rewind a bit. BEFORE the flight, the packing. And the passport check. Twice. Because, you know, paranoia. Arrived at Zurich airport, finally, after what felt like a trans-Atlantic wrestling match with my own suitcase. The customs guy, bless his heart, looked like he'd seen a thousand worse. "Habkern?" He repeated, then blinked. "Ah, yes, charming place." Charming? I hoped it was charming. My GPS, bless its heart, seemed to think Habkern was a mythical beast. Wandering around lost, I eventually found the rental car – a tiny European beast I immediately christened "The Bumblebee."
- Afternoon: The drive. Oh, the drive! Stunning, breath-taking, heart-stoppingly narrow roads. I'm pretty sure I swore at a particularly aggressive cow at one point. I had to pull over twice because I was overwhelmed with the scenery. Realizing that I probably should have researched the size of the roads before thinking it would be a breeze to drive into the mountains of Switzerland….
- Evening: Arrived at the Serene Farmhouse. And "serene" it wasn't. Not at first. The owner, a lovely woman named Frau something-or-other (names are not my forte after long travel), greeted me with the kind of Swiss efficiency that's simultaneously comforting and terrifying. The farmhouse was… well, a farmhouse. Rustic. Charming in a slightly-dusty-and-perhaps-haunted-by-friendly-ghosts kind of way. The parking situation? Let's just say "Habkern Parking" isn't a luxury, it's an adventure. I think I may have scraped The Bumblebee on a particularly enthusiastic rock. Deep breath. Unpack. Realize I forgot my toothbrush. The world’s oldest problem. And the cheese. Oh, the cheese. We had the fondue that night. I may have shed a tear. It was that good.
Day 2: The Mountain of Regret (and Incredible Views)
- Morning: Attempted "hiking." I use that term loosely. More like "stumbling uphill and questioning all my life choices." The trails are beautiful and the air is crisp, BUT THE UPWARD CLIMB? Ouch. I sweat so much, I'm pretty sure I lost five pounds. The sheer beauty of the Alps finally starts to hit me, even though I can barely breathe. The wildflowers were insane. And the cowbells? Pure auditory bliss.
- Afternoon: Found a tiny, ridiculously charming café with even more amazing cheese. And coffee. Needed the coffee. Seriously re-assessing my fitness goals. Maybe hiking in flat Switzerland next time. Just thinking about that.
- Evening: Back at the Farmhouse. The owner and owner's husband, also incredibly nice. They invited me to sit by the fireplace and asked me how the day was. I told them and we laughed. I felt slightly less lost. I poured myself a glass of wine, and actually managed to read a book. Even though I was exhausted.
Day 3: The Cheese Obsession Intensifies (and a Near-Disaster)
- Morning: Determined to try and find some sort of cheese factory - I was on a mission. Turns out, I was lucky. Found one! This isn't some fancy, sterile place. This is the REAL DEAL. Cheeses everywhere! Smells were delicious, and the people were friendly and helpful! I spent… maybe two hours there. Buying cheese. Getting samples. More cheese. A cheese-induced coma almost ensued.
- Afternoon: Thought I'd try the lake. Lake Thun. Beautiful, glistening thing. Tried parking. Parking was a nightmare. Found a spot, sort of. Put the car in PARK… or so I thought. Walked. The lake was stunning. The water was clear. Then… the phone rang. It was the police. The Bumblebee had rolled into something. I ran back. No major damage, thankfully. But my heart was doing a marathon. Lesson learned: double-check the handbrake.
- Evening: Had dinner at a restaurant in a nearby town. The food was amazing. The view of the lake was incredible. After a stressful day, I felt rejuvenated. More wine. Cheese. The perfect combo to end the day.
Day 4: The Long Road Home
- Morning: Packed my bags. Said goodbye to the owner, the owner's husband and the farmhouse. One last look at the mountains. A pang of sadness. Leaving Switzerland will always be hard.
- Afternoon: The long drive back to Zurich. The Bumblebee did great. The roads weren't so scary this time. A stop at a chocolate shop. Because, duh.
- Evening: Flight home. Finally. Exhausted. But happy.
The Quirky Observations and Rambles:
- Swiss efficiency is real. And slightly intimidating.
- Cowbells are the soundtrack to your entire existence.
- The cheese… oh, the cheese. It is a religious experience.
- Driving in the mountains is not for the faint of heart. Or the clumsy parker.
- The Swiss are, in general, delightful. And they love their cheese.
- I may have slightly over-packed. Let's be honest. A lot.
- My sense of direction? Still a work in progress.
- The air is intoxicating. Breathe it deep.
- Always double-check the handbrake. Please. Learn from my mistakes.
Emotional Reactions:
- Joy: Seeing the mountains for the first time, tasting that first bite of cheese, meeting the nice people.
- Frustration: The parking. The GPS's occasional bouts of delusion.
- Panic: The near Bumblebee incident.
- Sorrow: Saying goodbye.
- Contentment: The cozy evenings by the fireplace, the simple pleasures of good food and good company.
The Verdict:
Habkern? Serene Farmhouse? Parking in Habkern? Worth it. Every. Single. Moment. Even the near-disaster parking that made me want to cry. Go. Just go. And bring your appetite for cheese! You won't regret it. Just maybe. Consider train travel.

Okay, so... Habkern? Where even *is* that? And how do I get there without ending up in Liechtenstein by mistake?
Alright, deep breaths. Habkern is nestled like a warm little croissant in the Bernese Oberland region of Switzerland. Think rolling hills, cowbells (the *real* kind, not the cheesy novelty ones), and air so clean you could bottle it and sell it for a fortune. Honestly, it's gorgeous. Getting there? Well, you can fly into Zurich or Bern airports. From there, you'll probably need a train. Swiss trains are legendary – punctual, clean, and scenic. Then, it’s a bus ride up the mountain. The bus driver? Probably a local who's seen it all. Don't be surprised if they offer a casual “Gruezi” (hello!) or tell you a story about a particularly stubborn cow on the road. I, personally, almost missed my stop the first time because I was too busy gawking at the scenery. The journey itself is part of the charm, trust me.
"Stunning Farmhouse"... Is that code for 'rustic and charming, but secretly falling apart and haunted by a grumpy ghost named Gertrude'?
Hahaha! Okay, the word "stunning" is accurate. And yes, it *is* rustic and charming. Think exposed beams, a fireplace that practically *begs* you to toast marshmallows (I did!), and furniture that looks like it walked straight out of a fairytale. "Falling apart?" Absolutely not! Well...maybe the *slightest* hint of character-induced leaning in a few walls. But look, that just adds to the charm! And the ghost? Nope, no Gertrude. Unless you count my own internal grumpy ghost when I realized I'd forgotten my favorite slippers. Seriously though, the farmhouse is immaculately kept, *but* it has that lived-in feeling that makes you instantly comfortable. It’s not some sterile, pretentious hotel room. It's a home. A beautiful, well-loved home. It took me a day to stop feeling like I was going to break something because everything was so perfect. It's *that* kind of place. (And yes, I did manage to spill red wine on a ridiculously gorgeous rug. Mortified. But the housekeeper was an angel and brushed it right up!).
Parking included? Sounds too good to be true. What's the catch? Is it a tiny, uphill, death-defying parking spot?
Okay, this is a BIG DEAL. Parking in Switzerland can be an absolute nightmare. Especially somewhere like Habkern, where space is a precious commodity. But YES, parking IS included, and it’s a godsend. And no, it's not at the top of a mountain, requiring superhuman parallel parking skills. It’s actually a decent-sized, flatish spot right by the farmhouse. You won't be sweating bullets every time you squeeze your car in. I mean, it’s *Switzerland,* so you're not going to be able to roll out of bed and onto the highway, but it’s perfectly accessible, and you don't have to pay extra. Huge win! Honestly, just the parking alone makes this place a steal. I'm not kidding – I think I almost kissed the asphalt when I found it.
Food? Can I order takeout from McDonald's, or am I going to be staring at a carrot for a week?
Alright, reality check time. Habkern ain't exactly bustling with Michelin-starred restaurants and 24-hour delivery services. You're in the Swiss Alps, people! Embrace it! There are a few charming local restaurants, serving traditional Swiss fare like fondue and rösti. *Do* try the fondue. It's a religious experience. There's also a small grocery store where you can buy ingredients and cook for yourself in the farmhouse, which, let's be honest, is half the fun. I spent one afternoon making waffles – glorious, fluffy waffles, with fresh cream! I had to scrape myself off the ceiling of happiness. So, pack some snacks, plan some meals, and prepare to fall in love with Swiss cuisine. If you're desperately craving a Big Mac, you might need to drive down the mountain. Just saying. But trust me, the local options are far superior to fast food. And you *will* need to stock up on chocolate. Seriously, the chocolate. I'm still dreaming about it.
Is it kid-friendly? Because my offspring are basically tiny, adorable, slightly chaotic tornadoes.
Okay, look. I don't have kids. So, take my opinion with a grain of (delicious Swiss) salt. But based on the layout of the farmhouse, the huge garden, and the general vibe of peace and quiet, I’d say it's pretty kid-friendly. There's space for them to run around, explore the surrounding area (safely, of course), and probably annoy the cows (respectfully, of course!). I mean, what kid wouldn't love running around in a place like that? It depends on your kid, of course, but I'd say, definitely yes. But remember, it's a farmhouse, not a concrete jungle. You gotta bring the fun. (And maybe a few extra pairs of socks, just in case.)
What about Wi-Fi? Because, you know, Instagram awaits. (And also, work...sometimes.)
Alright, let's be real. Wifi exists. It's not super-speedy, but it's perfectly adequate. Enough for Instagram, email checking, and probably even a Zoom call if you absolutely *have* to. However, consider this your official warning: You're going to *want* to disconnect. Seriously. The beauty of this place is the escape. Put down the phone (or at least limit your doom-scrolling!), breathe in the fresh air, and appreciate the stunning views. I spent the first day glued to my phone, and I kicked myself. The second day? I actually *looked* at the mountains. Magical. Absolutely. Magical. Don't ruin it with your phone. But yes, Wi-Fi exists. Sigh.
Is it accessible for people with mobility issues?
This is a tricky one. The farmhouse itself is, well, a farmhouse. Which means it's not going to be the easiest place to navigate if you have significant mobility issues. There are probably steps, uneven surfaces, and all those charming, quirky architectural details that make older buildings so delightful...and sometimes a little challenging. It’s probably best to contact the owners and ask them specifically about accessibility features. They'll be able to give you the most accurate information. I wish I could give you a definitive answer, but this isn't something I'm qualified to comment on. I will say – it's worth checking because it really is a special place.
The best part? The *worst* part? Give it to me straight!
