9.3/10
4.7/5

A charming, detached, and comfortable cottage in a small-scale park, located on the water with a swimming dock, a children’s beach, and a dinghy dock right by the cottage (a 10-meter walk). This cottage is particularly well-suited for families with (young) children, but it’s also great for a group of 5 adults. The garden and grounds surrounding the house (700 m²) are perfect for relaxing and playing. Outside, you’ll find a lounge sofa, a fireplace, a barbecue, and a large dining table. Beautiful, bright living room with a view of the water and an open kitchen. Downstairs, there is a double bedroom with its own shower and sink, as well as a separate toilet. Upstairs, there is a spacious bedroom with three single beds and a separate bathroom with a shower and toilet. The beds are made upon arrival. The house features modern amenities (built in 2022). A washer/dryer is available. Two parking spaces are available at the house.

    A lovely cottage in a beautiful setting!

    Nature, peace & environment: 5 /5

    A very nice cottage—practically furnished and clean. The location is beautiful! And from the “backyard,” you can walk right into the Fluessen. We did a lot of swimming and stand-up paddleboarding.

    Great house. It has everything you need for a wonderful vacation. A comfortable couch, cozy beds,
    a fully equipped kitchen, an amazing sound system, plenty of space, cozy outdoor seating areas, and you can jump right into the water from your bed!
