    A lovely little cottage with all the necessary amenities. The view—from the bed—is magnificent. It’s like a living painting.

    You’re allowed to build a fire in the fire pit—fantastic!

    There are several seating areas around the cottage.

    The kitchenette is basic, but you can easily prepare a one-pot meal.

    Since you’re surrounded by nature, it’s a good idea to bring mosquito repellent.

    The hosts are helpful and have created a nice welcome video and a guide (with all the necessary info and tips about the area). This makes everything easy to find or use.

    In short, a real gem!

    Nature, peace & environment: 4 /5

    Very nice, cozy and yet complete

    Nature, peace & environment: 5 /5

    Wide views, birds and a deer in the garden. For someone from the city, a world of difference. Really getting away from it all.
