"We really enjoyed the mountain drive getting to and from the property. The view from our room was amazing. Only there overnight so we didn't hike the many trails, or kayak on the lake. The property well equipped with tips and rentals. Really nice and comfortable common area with a fire place. Nice to gather round in the morning and evening. The game pieces were bits of tree trunk, with bark, and painted different colours."

"Ein tolles Haus, mega Lage, großartiger Ausblick und toller Ausgangspunkt für spektakuläre Wandertouren. Man merkt dem Haus an das viel Herzblut drin steckt und es wird sehr schnell zu einem eigenen kleinen zu Hause. Das morgendliche Frühstück auf der Terrasse mit Blick ins aufwachende Tal ist fast unbezahlbar. Das Haus ist super sauber, und toll organisiert und wir hatten Glück den Grill so oft nutzen zu können. Sogar der Weg hoch macht beim 2. Mal schon richtig Spaß . Die Kommunikation mit den Gastgebern war zu jeder Zeit schnell und unkompliziert. Wir würden (werden?) jederzeit wiederkommen."
