Very quiet and you could say a bit remote. Nearest grocery is 25 mins drive away so plan ahead. Grill and Sauna areas were excellent (separate buildings which was big bonus). Big deck down at the lake. Maybe 50 yards, but it’s all steps up and down. There is also a lot of outdoor games available. I would recommend. ##### Vesa N.

Feb 28, 2019 #### Kommen gerne wieder! Wir waren 10 Tage im Winter hier in den Ferien mit unseren Kindern (13/10/8). Die Lage ist toll, es ist friedlich ruhig und die Nachbarn sind ausser sichtweite. Es ist ein schönes Blockhaus mit alleinstehendem Saunagebäude (Holzofen). Die Inneneinrichtung ist zwechmässig, aber schon etwas älter. Die Kücheneinrichtung ist komplett, es hat Backofen, Geschirrspüler, Mikrowelle, Gefriertruhe & Kühlschrank. Es hat einen TV mit DVD-Gerät. Auch Waschmaschine & Tumbler sind vorhanden. Wir können uns vorstellen, wieder hierher zu kommen. ##### Reto W.

The home is spacious, fully equipped for the handicapped and beautifully decorated with all modern conveniences. Great kitchen. From the living room/dining area, one looks out at an unobstructed view of pristine lake and forest. Lovely walk down to private landing and beach front. It was a great retreat for two. We took day trips from the cottage. Also took the rowboat out on the lake. The cottage is really a compound of a few buildings with an amazing soccer field and large area for children to play, so it would also be ideal for larger families or grandparents, kids and grandchildren. I highly recommend this secluded, yet modern and well furnished cottage. ##### Linda P. This review was submitted before 2018 and has not been verified. ### 10/10 Excellent #### Ilana M., Israel Oct 2, 2009 #### 5 stars out of 5 Outstanding accommodations: nicely built and very comfortable 3-bedroom log cabin equipped with the modern appliances (last model washer, dryer, refrigerator, dish-washer, 2 flat-screen LCD TVs with satellite reception, air conditioner units) and 21st century technology such as wireless door looks, remote sensing electric switches, handless faucets, etc); detached sauna with living room and bathroom with 2 showers; sophisticated covered grill; swimming/fishing/boat deck; covered car-port for 2 cars that also accommodates a fantastic ping-pong table, small football field with 2 goals, badminton net, basketball board. 2. Great outdoor surroundings: gorgeous virgin forest with plentiful wild berries and mushrooms, beautiful lake with clear water; very quite remote location with no neighbors within half a kilometer. Perfect place for outdoor oriented people. It was a dream vacation – 5 stars out of 5. ##### Ilana M. This review was submitted before 2018 and has not been verified. ### 10/10 Excellent Jul 15, 2009 #### Wonderful stay in June I only would like to say that the villa is wonderful (because of the house and the landscape, which is stunning) and recomend it to everybody. We didn´t have any problem during our stay (3 nights) in June 2009. ## Expedia's Latest Trends ### Hotels > [Hotels near Santa's Village](https://www.expedia.ca/Santas-Village-Hotels.0-l6089293-0.Travel-Guide-Filter-Hotels) > > [Beach Hotel in South Carolina](https://www.expedia.ca/Destinations-In-South-Carolina-Beach-Hotel.0-0-d242-tBeachHotel.Hotel-Filter-Destinations) > > [Hotels in Saint Hyacinthe](https://www.expedia.ca/Saint-Hyacinthe-Hotels.d6058180.Travel-Guide-Hotels) > > [Days Inn by Wyndham Calgary North Balzac](https://www.expedia.ca/Calgary-Hotels-Days-Inn-By-Wyndham-Calgary-North-Balzac.h19334027.Hotel-Information) > > [Home2 Suites by Hilton Edmonton South](https://www.expedia.ca/Edmonton-Hotels-Home2-Suites-By-Hilton-Edmonton-South.h29049560.Hotel-Information) > > [Wilderness Hotel Muotka & Igloos](https://www.expedia.ca/Sodankyla-Hotels-Wilderness-Hotel-Muotka.h24043751.Hotel-Information) > > [The Navigator - Solaqua](https://www.expedia.ca/Albufeira-Hotels-Luna-Solaqua.h4461872.Hotel-Information) > > [Fraser Suites Edinburgh](https://www.expedia.ca/Edinburgh-Hotels-Fraser-Suites-Edinburgh.h2278102.Hotel-Information) > > [Whistler Cascade Lodge](https://www.expedia.ca/Whistler-Hotels-Whistler-Cascade-Lodge-By-Vacasa.h116345.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotels in Halifax](https://www.expedia.ca/Halifax-Hotels.d602873.Travel-Guide-Hotels) > > [Hospitality Inn](https://www.expedia.ca/Nanaimo-Hotels-Hospitality-Inn.h42508.Hotel-Information) > > [Casino Hotels in Cape Breton Island](https://www.expedia.ca/Cape-Breton-Island-Hotels-Casino-Hotel.0-0-d6058253-tCasinoHotel.Travel-Guide-Filter-Hotels) > > [Hotel Sol e Mar - Adults Only](https://www.expedia.ca/Albufeira-Hotels-Hotel-Sol-E-Mar.h1515517.Hotel-Information) ### Flights > [Flights from Winnipeg](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/6141041/flights-from-winnipeg) > > [Flights from Palma de Mallorca (PMI) to Barcelona (BCN)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/pmi/bcn/palma-de-mallorca-to-barcelona) > > [Flights from Vancouver (YVR) to Athens (ATH)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/yvr/ath/vancouver-to-athens) > > [Flights from Kansas City (MCI) to St. Louis (STL)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/mci/stl/kansas-city-to-st-louis) > > [Flights from Calgary (YYC) to Toronto (YYZ)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/yyc/yyz/calgary-to-toronto) > > [Flights from Windsor (YQG) to Sanford (SFB)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/yqg/sfb/windsor-to-orlando) > > [Flights from Montreal (YUL) to Miami (MIA)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/yul/mia/montreal-to-miami) ### Cars > [Car rentals in St. John's](https://www.expedia.ca/Car-Rentals-In-St-Johns.d181832.Car-Rental-Guide) ### Activities > [Things to do in San Pedro Pochutla](https://www.expedia.ca/Things-To-Do-In-San-Pedro-Pochutla.d6299471.Travel-Guide-Activities) > > [Things to do in Huntingdon](https://www.expedia.ca/Things-To-Do-In-Huntingdon.d4665.Travel-Guide-Activities) ### Packages > [La Manche Provincial Park](https://www.expedia.ca/La-Manche-Provincial-Park-Tors-Cove.d553248621578434733.Vacation-Attraction) > > [Cancun Vacations](https://www.expedia.ca/Cancun.d179995.Destination-Travel-Guides) > > [Venice](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/theme-vacations/all-inclusive-vacations/179981/Venice)
