One caveat, if you choose this exquisite property, please take excellent care of it because we expect to enjoy it again in the future!

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.

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.
