Overwater Tiny House | Shared Bath near Gstaad

Summary:

Stay in a compact wooden tiny house built directly over the small pond at the Forellensee campsite near Zweisimmen and Gstaad.

No restaurant is nearby, so please bring your own food and drinks.



The Space:

Welcome to your overwater tiny house at the Forellensee campsite, a compact and unusual accommodation built directly above the water.

Forellensee is the name of the campsite. The body of water surrounding the tiny houses is a small natural pond rather than a large lake. This is a simple glamping-style stay with shared campsite facilities, not a fully equipped holiday home, hotel or private lake villa.



The house is best suited to couples or solo travellers who appreciate atmosphere, nature and a unique setting more than space or luxury.

The terrace is directly above the water, but the area immediately around the house is shallow and is not suitable for swimming or jumping into the water.

Two toilets

The area immediately in front of the house is not suitable for swimming

Please use only the designated swimming areas



- Seasonal atmosphere

The photos show the campsite during summer, when the surroundings are green and vibrant.

During winter, the area is quieter, less lush and more minimal. The appearance and atmosphere may therefore be different from the summer photos.

The tiny house is carefully cleaned and prepared before every arrival.



Guest Access:

Guests have private access to the entire tiny house and its terrace.

The bathrooms, designated swimming areas, walking paths and other outdoor parts of the campsite are shared with guests staying in the other units.



The Neighborhood:

The tiny house is located at the Forellensee campsite near Zweisimmen, directly above a small natural pond and surrounded by alpine scenery, walking paths and wooden bridges.

Although the setting is close to nature, it is not completely secluded or silent.

Railway tracks run behind the campsite, and the GoldenPass panoramic train towards Gstaad passes approximately once per hour during the day. A main road also runs along the other side of the pond, so passing cars and occasional train noise may be heard.

We mention this transparently so guests know what to expect before booking.

The location is well suited to guests who enjoy:

Unusual glamping-style accommodation

Staying directly above the water

Simple outdoor living

Exploring Zweisimmen and Gstaad

Mountain scenery and walking paths

We recommend purchasing food, drinks and other supplies before arriving.
