Fijne ambiance, vriendelijke eigenaren en leuke locatie.

9.0

Prachtige locatie met direct in de omgeving goede mogelijkheden om natuur te beleven. Voor vogelaars een toplocatie.

Tolle Lage mit eigener Sauna, etwas beengt

9.0

Die Lage direkt am See ist wunderschön. Man ist ganz für sich alleine. Sehr großes Bad mit Sauna und genug Feuerholz für ein paar Tage.

Wenn man das Schlafsofa benutzt ist das Zimmer leider recht beengt.

2ème séjour en 3 ans ! Ce chalet est un petit paradis !

10.0

La vue, le chalet, la tranquillité et l’hôte qui est très sympa !

Nice cabin, but too expensive for what it is.

7.0

Cute cabin near the lake, nice sauna

Bad communication with the host, missing items. Also bed sheets were too small for the big bed, the bunk bed wasnt stable at all. Not worth the money.

5.0

Très beau chalet typique avec une vue très belle et imprenable sur le lac. Couper du monde et calme. Personnel accueillant et gentil et disponible.

Logement assez petit, canapé lit pas très confortable mais avec le sur matelas ça passe.
