Bring the boat and the lake toys or a book and in winter and be an hour from the ski fields. The Space: PLEASE NOTE – This property is STRICTLY not suitable for parties, events, or loud groups. The home has a staggered floorplan across three levels, boasting two living areas so the kids can have their own space to play with the provided board games, jigsaws, or table tennis table, or to watch TV/DVD’s.
