We had a nice short winter break at this property with our 3 kids. The wood fire warmed up the living areas really well and the bach had all the basics we needed. The only downside was for a winter stay the bedding was not really warm enough, I'd recommend taking your own warm duvets in winter. Otherwise, great little place, close to the lake, and reasonably priced!

It was homey and cosy, and very close to the family we were visiting.
