The private cabin I had was private and cost. The hosts were very kind and friendly and made you feel part of the family. Continence style breakfast provided or you could cook your own, and the kitchen eas available to guests who may want to prepare their meals on site instead of going out. Comfortable communal lounge and outside terraces with lake and Mountain views. Would highly recommend for tranquility.

Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities
Be aware of what you are booking. On arrival realized there was no fridge in room for medication. Was communal type living and had incense smell which causes migraine headaches. I explained our health needs to the owner. The photos in the ad are enhanced and the quality of the room is nothing like the photos Spoke to the owner to explain it was not right for us and we couldn’t stay. He agreed to a 1 night stay refund as we had booked 2 nights but we had to go through Expedia. I have done that and he has refused to refund any of the stay. Expedia have been great but the owner cannot be believed.

It was excellent in many ways and a real gem. However, the shared bathrooms were very far from the cabins if you're someone who needs to go in the middle of the night.
