The Bernard Haus family

Your Hosts

A Swiss-Canadian Welcome

Bernard Haus is a family home before it’s anything else — built and cared for by a Swiss-born owner and his Canadian wife, raising their two daughters between two countries that both feel like home. We share the chalet a few times a year so other families can fall for this lake the way ours has.
