It’s a very clean, comfortable and bright cabin.Everything new and of good quality.Great to have coffee on the deck and enjoy the view.If there is something to change it would be to have the dehumidifier fan in the bathroom run a little quieter.

Süßes Häuschen genau am Wasser! Sehr gut eingerichtet! Schlafzimmer und Bad etwas klein aber voll ausreichend! Die Aussicht ist atemberaubend und das Haus liegt gut für verschiedene Unternehmungen in der Umgebung! Das Haus liegt etwas Abseits von einem Camping Platz! Schöner Platz in der Natur
