Simple Hut in the woods with a well equiped Kitchen

It was all very good. The House was simple yet clean. The sauna fits up to 3 people. The Kitchen works completly with gas and is very well equiped. Sharp knifes, all kind of pots and bowles - it`s all there. The terasse lies perfectly in the midday sun and you have a lovely view into the forest in the valley in front of you. The Hosts were also very nice and there are two barbecues for you to use. I would recommend ypu this stay if you are a group of families who is looking for a quiet and remote stay

Wochenende im Grünen

Tolle Lage, wenn auch etwas schwer zu erreichen aber Serge sendet eine gute Wegbeschreibung mit. Haus ist urig und liebevoll renoviert. Alles top sauber, große Handtücher sollte man mitbringen. Toilettenpapier war eher knapp bemessen, der Vermieter wohnt jedoch nebenan und steht immer hilfreich zur Seite. Einziger Wehmutstropfen: Check-in ist leider erst ab 16:30 möglich, Check-Out bis 11 Uhr. Daher hat man bei zwei Übernachtungen nur begrenzte Zeit vor Ort.

3 wunderschöne Tage

Wir hatten im Freundeskreis 3 wunderschöne Tage erlebt. Tolles Haus mit großzügiger Terrasse, ideal zum Grillen, ruhig, abgelegen. Innen ebenfalls sehr großzügig und sauber. Ideal zum die Seele baumeln lassen. Ich kann es nur empfehlen, auch für größere Gruppen (bis zu 14 Personen) ist genug Platz vorhanden.

Familienurlaub

Wir haben eine tolle Zeit mit der gesamten Familie verbracht. Das Haus war toll mit ausreichend Schlafzimmern und allem, was wir benötigten. Serge ist ein freundlicher, hilfsbereiter Gastgeber, der sehr um unser Wohl bemüht war. Das einzige, was schön gewesen wäre, wären größere Handtücher zum Duschen gewesen. Aus der Beschreibung geht nicht hervor, dass es nur kleine Handtücher gibt. Wir bekamen aber problemlos noch weitere Handtücher dazu. Insgesamt hat es uns sehr gut gefallen ein schöner Ort zum Erholen.
