I liked the cabin we were in. The place where it was situated and the water was close to go fishing a beautiful place to be. I would recommend it to anyone. It’s even close to a supermarket. We will certainly be back. The children had plenty to occupy themselves as well and they enjoyed every minute of it

Nice neat little cabins. Beds were clean and comfy. Check in was easy even though we arrived alot later then planned due to traffic. Walking distance to lake and great little fishing spots. Needs an onsite cafe or restaurant, food options close by are very limited.

We had a great stay, we weren't sure if there was a recycling or compost system. This should be mandatory these days, it's not hard to arrange, and necessary, especially for somewhere so beautiful!

The amenities could be improved, particularly when it comes to cleanliness. At first glance the cabin appears “clean,” but it quickly becomes clear that the standard may rely heavily on guests tidying up before departure, with staff mainly replenishing linens and toiletries. The overall space feels a bit tired and doesn’t smell fresh, which could be easily addressed with more thorough cleaning. The floors were dusty, corners had built-up crumbs, and the shower had some grime. I’d recommend bringing your own cleaning supplies and giving the place a quick clean so you’re not dealing with leftover dirt from previous guests.
