Tanushree August 3, 2025 General rating:Beautiful chalet. A really quiet place to escape from technology. We enjoyed the nature together. Nice for the dog to run free. Very quiet environment although sometimes it can get a little lively when a wild cat runs by and all the dogs nearby start barking. It was so beautiful, we stayed in the chalet almost all the time. Just unwinding in the hammock, or playing a game of badminton. It was fun collecting pine cones. There is a fire pit with a BBQ grill, and the evenings were extra romantic with candlelight, the vinyl player and a few board games. Inside, it was really cozy and beautifully decorated with attention to detail, but without too much stuff. Everything was taken care of - you just need to bring your clothes and toothbrush.
Prachtige chalet. Een echt rustige plek om te ontsnappen aan technologie. We hebben samen genoten van de natuur. Leuk voor de hond om vrij te rennen. Zeer rustige omgeving al kan het soms even levendig worden wanneer een wilde kat voorbij rent en alle honden in de buurt begint te blaffen.
Het was zo mooi, we bleven bijna de hele tijd in het chalet. Even tot rust komen in de hangmat, of een potje badminton spelen. Het was leuk om dennenappels te verzamelen. Er is een vuurbak met een BBQ-grill.
’s Avonds werd het extra romantisch met kaarslicht, de vinylspeler en een paar bordspelletjes. Binnen was het echt gezellig en prachtig gedecoreerd met oog voor detail, maar zonder al te veel spullen.
Alles was geregeld — je hoeft alleen je kleding en tandenborstel mee te nemen.Nature, peace & environment:The chalet is in the middle of nature ... a bumpy drive makes you forget that the paved road is only five minutes away. We enjoyed the peace and quiet, occasionally interrupted by birdsong. The supermarket is fifteen minutes away by car. Across the road is a different kind of terrain - reminiscent of a savannah. The grounds around the chalet are dotted with various trees, especially pines.
Het chalet ligt midden in de natuur… een hobbelige rit doet je vergeten dat de verharde weg slechts vijf minuten verderop ligt. We hebben genoten van de rust en stilte, af en toe onderbroken door het gezang van vogels. De supermarkt is op vijftien minuten rijden met de auto. Aan de overkant van de weg ligt een ander soort terrein — het doet denken aan een savanne. Het terrein rondom het chalet is bezaaid met verschillende bomen, vooral dennen.
