Are you looking for rest and relaxation in beautiful nature? Hiking, skiing or cross-country skiing are your hobby? Or culture and city exploration in the metropolis of Zurich? Lakes and mountains in the immediate vicinity? Or trips to the high Alps?
Then you are exactly right with us!
In our beautiful and bright 2 1/2 room granny flat on our idyllic farm with sheep husbandry, chickens, goats and cattle. We are located in the middle of the beautiful Zurich Oberland in a very charming nature with proximity to the metropolis of Zurich (approx. 35 minutes by car) and Winterthur (approx. 30 minutes by car). Lake Zurich with the beautiful town of Rapperswil is also around half an hour's drive from us. The German city of Constance (50 minutes by car) on Lake Constance is worth a trip for a day trip. Our farm is located in the middle of a wonderful hiking and skiing area (Atzmännig approx. 30 minutes by car). Two smaller ski lifts (Ghöch and Steig ski lifts) are only a few minutes away from our farm and are particularly recommended for beginners and children. Those who prefer to go cross-country skiing have a beautiful cross-country ski run nearby, which also invites them to take beautiful snow walks. The village Bäretswil is a municipality with about 5000 inhabitants and is located on the northwestern edge of the Allmann Range, in a "hollow" between Glatt and Tösstal. In a few minutes by car from our farm in the village, you can buy everything you need for self-sufficiency. We also have various Attractions. Among other things an old steam train and a vintage car museum.
The Bauma train station is 3 km away and the center of the next larger city, Wetzikon, is 8 km away. You can do many activities from us. An indoor pool (4 km away) or the Alpamare as a large swimming paradise is located in Pfäffikon SZ. In summer (swimming lakes, mountain biking, hiking) as well as in winter (skiing, cross-country skiing, ice rink, snow walks) you can experience an active vacation.
After a great day out, you can end the day by candlelight in our fully equipped, quiet apartment. It offers everything you need for a relaxing holiday.

All windows have mosquito screens; the bedroom can be darkened.

Wunderschöne Umgebung, aber kalt

Für alle, die Ruhe und Abgeschiedenheit suchen, der optimale Ort. Bestens ausgestattet, freundliche und zuvorkommende Vermieter. Einziges Manko: ungenügende Heizleistung, in der Übergangszeit und im Winter unangenehm kalt. Trotzdem eine vorbehaltlose Empfehlung!

Sehr angenehmer Aufenthalt, freundliche Gastgeber

Wir haben schöne Tage auf dem kleinen Bauernhof verbracht. Ziegen, Schafe und Hühner gabs für unsere Kleinen kennen zu lernen. Nicht weit von den Seen im Züricher Oberland bzw. vom Zürichsee. Auto erforderlich. Die Gastgeberfamilie war sehr hilfsbereit und freundlich, jederzeit um die Gäste bemüht. Sehr empfehlenswert.

Quartierserwartungen wurden bei weitem übertroffen

Sehr herzliche Kommunikation (sowie Empfang und Verabschiedung) mit den Wirtsleuten Katterwe. Die gesamte Wohnung liebevoll eingerichtet und ein Quartier nebst Aussenanlagen und Lage zum Wohlfühlen. Kleine Nettigkeiten wie Schokolade und Marmelade waren das I-Tüpfelchen. Eines der schönsten Quartiere die wir bisher gebucht haben. Danke nochmals.

Perfekt ausgestattet, in wunderschöner Landschaft, sehr nette Gastgeber!

Die Ferienwohnung von Familie Katterwe ist sehr gemütlich und perfekt ausgestattet. In der Küche ist alles vorhanden, was man braucht, um sich auch mal etwas zu kochen. (Das habe ich auch schon anders erlebt, nämlich so, dass ich noch wichtige Utensilien besorgen musste.) Eine reichliche Teeauswahl und Kaffee stehen zur Bedienung bereit. Es gab sogar ein paar süße Willkommengeschenke! Überhaupt bemüht sich Frau Katterwe, den Gästen den Aufenthalt so angenehm wie möglich zu machen. Alles ist ganz liebevoll zurecht gemacht. Man spürt, dass sich hier jemand Gedanken macht, was die Gäste brauchen, um sich wohl zu fühlen. Die ganze Familie ist sehr nett und wir wurden sehr herzlich willkommen geheißen. Wer Ruhe und eine schöne Landschaft liebt ist hier genau richtig. Außerdem waren wir sehr erstaunt, dass es in dieser scheinbar so abgelegenen Gegend so viel zu erkunden gab. Wir würden jedenfalls jederzeit wieder kommen!

Very nice and cosy appartment wirh amazingly beautiful landscape. Authentic contryside feel but still so near from many nice must to see places. Perfect place for now and then enjoying long walks and nice breakfast with just cowbells ringing before heading to see all the cool places nearby.

We eaven had nice little toys for our 8-month old baby :) House was fully equipped with all you might need during your stay. We really enjoyed our stay and hope to come back some day.

Perfekte Ferienwohung / The perfect vacation home

Die Ferien wohnung ist sehr gemuetlich und in der perfekten Lage um Zuerich und den Rest der Schweiz zu bereisen. Wir waren positiv ueberascht wie ruhig es ist. Die Schnuggel Schafe vor dem Haus bereichern das urchige gefuehl auf einem Bauernhof zu wohnen. Der Parkplatz vor der wohnung ist perfekt in der kalten Jahreszeit. Die Wohnung war gemuetlich warm dank der Bodenheizing auch wenn es draussen -14 Grad war. Die Gastgeber sind sehr freundlich und tun alles um den Aufenthalt besser zu machen fuer die Gaeste. Wir haben in Ihnen neue Freunde gefunden. Alles in allem war dies die Perfekte Ferienwohnung fuer uns. This is a very cozy apartment in the perfect location for excursions to Zuerich and Switzerland in general. We were positively surprised how quiet it was. The Schnuggel Sheep right in front of the apartment add to the Farm ambience. Parking right outside the entrance is crucial in cold weather (7 Fahrenheit). The appartment itself was warm and cozy thanks to radiant floor heating. The hosts are very friendly and bend over backwards to make your stay as pleasant as possible. We made new friends. All in all it was the perfect vacation home for us.
