Tussen from United Kingdom

Stay for 4 adults and 2 pets

An absolute dream! We had an incredibly relaxing and wonderful time! You want for nothing here. The accommodations, the garden, the lake—and even the hosts—are simply enchanting. The attention to detail, the cutest animal friends—wow! We’ll definitely be back. Thanks for everything ♥️

Cennet from Germany

Stay for 2 adults

A very nice and interesting split-level house on a lakeside lot with 2 bathrooms. One of them, however, has no shower. The charming 1950s decor has been marred in some places by random stylistic inconsistencies. The master bedroom facing the lake couldn’t be darkened. This isn’t ideal for everyone, especially since the lake reflects light quite a bit and the motion detectors tend to go off at night. The kitchen isn’t particularly functional. It lacked basic items like a kettle for tea drinkers—there was only a strange version of an espresso machine, no drip coffee maker, and no French press. There’s room for improvement here, but I’m sure that can be fixed quickly. This might sound negative, but a property in this price range thrives on guests actually enjoying their time there—not just being on the go.
