Excellent Bach
Really enjoyed our stay. Location was excellent. Bach was clean and well provisioned. We had two dogs and the proximity to the lake and a park at the rear of the property was fantastic. Will be back again.

Get little space
The house is a great place to rest after a big day exploring. It is dated but functional and cosy. We loved the deck and grounds of the property.
The location was good too (we did have a car).
Given the house is old, it got very cold and we found the heating options weren’t ideal in that we didn’t want to leave a tiny oil heat running all day while we were out but also didn’t need a big fire burning at the end of the day either.
Not having access to wifi was a really big issue. The listing never said there was internet, it was my own fault for assuming it would have it.
I would absolutely stay here again if the property had wifi.
