House and layout were awesome. House was very well equipped. Location is great, with great views of the mountains and lake.

The only thing I think could have been better was cleanliness. The house itself was clean, feel it needs a bit of deeper clean, behind beds, couches etc. It was clear that hasn't been cleaned for a while...

The location was very good.

None of the toilet and showers has the locks working and I have checked the feedback review back where one of the other family has provided the same feedback in April 2026 but nothing has been done to get that repaired. Which was disappointing, if there is a feedback book then each genuine feedback should be taken into consideration. Not enough portable room heaters. The bed heaters were not working in two rooms.

This place is amazing, with stunning views of the mountains and lake. The house is spacious and comfortably accommodates a large family. The fireplace and heat pump keep the living area warm and cosy, and the kitchen is well-equipped with great amenities. We had a wonderful stay and would highly recommend it.

The first night was particularly windy, and the master bedroom, being situated on the corner of the house, was quite noisy due to the strong wind.
