»We had a bit trouble finding it, there are many sidetracks in the area. House was very nice, and very well kept. The stairs to the attic sleeping room were quite steep. My son enjoyed the hot-tub.«

»Cozy little house, very well equipped. The hot pot has many patched cracks that make it uncomfortable. You have to fill it with water yourself which takes an hour. The house is very far from everywhere.«
