We stayed in a studio cottage for one night. The cottage itself was well-kept but felt like lodging you would have at camp. The only option for ventilation was to open the door, and the beds/pillows were of low quality (but still clean). Furthermore, the bathroom is very small with the water heater suspended above the toilet. Showers had to be short, and it was hard to not spill water into the rest of the bathroom. Also, the wi-fi was not functional in our unit. Again, the lodging was well-kept, safe, and in a beautiful area, so I think our dissatisfaction with it comes down to personal preferences. The campsite looked really nice for anyone travelling in campers or spending the night in tents!

The pictures of the cute wood cottages are not current. The cottages are quite old and have been painted. The cottages are near a trailer park and does not have the "open field" feel that the pictures suggest. A bit of a letdown.

Very nice little cabin, with everything you need to use it as base for exploring the area. Hosts where polite and.check in was very fast. The place has a nice view and surroundings are nice. Far from town, but not a problem if you are driving.

These rooms are VERY small - it was barely manageable for the three of us. If you're looking for a bed to sleep in, it's great. If you're looking for more than that, not so much.

all beds are made up with the number of guests booked. If we've made a mistake, we need to know so we can fix it for the customer right away. Would have liked to know this as soon as you arrived so I could have fixed this for you.

A cabin in farm country
It was fun to be really out in the countryside. The cabin, while compact, accommodated four adults and a child pretty well. The kitchen was welcome and got good use, especially after the helpful service staff gave us some less battered pans. The property also offers restaurant, golf course, and other services, but we did not take too much advantage.

Threatened to charge 50 euro if we didn’t clean the place. No paper towels or dish towel to dry dishes. Toaster shorted out the electricity. Pots and pans were in rough shape. Would have been much better if the owner spent a couple hundred euro on some minor upgrades.

Great Stay!
What an amazing experience we had. Couple of things to note that could ruin your stay if you're not aware. Heating is good but in cold months it could take an hour or so to properly heat up. You do have to strip the bed sheets or get charged extra, we knew about this and it really didn't take much time. The last thing is the bathroom situation. The bathroom is a shower, toilet and sink very close together. There is not enough hot water to shower more than 1 person, even 1 person needs to be quick or the water will run out and it takes about an hour to get warm again. There are other communal showers at the camping area, again not a bit issue if you're prepared. What could be bad is that there is no block for the water in the bathroom. We had the smaller two bed cottage so after the shower the water all over the bathroom and leaked under the door, and got all over the room. With the sweepers we cleaned everything up. Had we showered at night or stayed an extra day this could've been uncomfortable. Suggestion is to put a towel down under the door to try and keep the water in or shower at the camp showers. If you're staying one night it's not a big deal just shower in the morning. Highly recommend this for the price/area especially for Northern Light seekers. If you're on a good night you can see them clearly from here.

Super cute little cabin in the fields!
Difficult to find, way out in the middle of a field to nowhere, but perfect views of the landscaped white mountains, golf course, green fields. The cottage had not been stayed in for a little bit, so it took a good 3-4 hours to warm up with the radiotors, and we ended up sitting in our car for warmth until it did. It's a very cute cabin with everything you need, we definitely enjoyed it. The large buffet breakfast in the morning made the stay even more enjoyable. The cutest little place!
