Great stay in remote cottage!

Karl and his wife were very accommodating—there was a problem with the original property we booked with them, so they offered us a bigger and nicer cottage for the same price. It was in a very remote area, which we loved. Very cozy, and the hot tub was lovely. Communication was great as well. Thanks very much!!

Perfect

This cozy, comfy cabin was absolutely perfect for our trip. The owners were helpful and accommodating. Evening soaks in the hot tub were our favorite. We'll seek this cabin out for our future visit for sure.

Au top pour les environs

Petit chalet très confortable avec une bonne literie. Bien placé pour les visites classiques des environs. Très bon dialogue avec Karl. Le seul petit bémol sans importance…..faire à manger sur les plaques de cuisson s’avère long….très long. Je recommande cette mignonne location sans hésiter.

Lovely Place

It was clean and quaint, with a great location to use for visiting the Golden Circle. It was quiet but did not feel too isolated and had all the little amenities that made the stay comfortable. The hot water has a smell of sulphur because it is coming from a natural hot spring, so if you can handle that you will love the place!
