Aug 29, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy We arrived and the hous was ready; simple amenities were prepared already. Every room has a shower, and there are 3 toilets on the property. We enjoyed the outside areas as well, and the 2 big TVs were used often. The forest nearby was great for walks, the wildlifepark was nice, and the nearby bistro was great. ##### Philipp J. Stayed 4 nights in Aug 2025 ### 8/10 Good #### Gudrun R.
