Words from happy guests

A truly magical place! Surrounded by nature and peace, with everything you need closeby. Also, the interior is a dream for everyone that loves midcentury design. We’ll miss the deer running through the garden!

Davy from Belgium

Stay for 2 adults and 1 baby

We absolutely loved the house and its surroundings. It’s quite strange to sit in front of the house or on the jetty and not see or hear anything man-made – just pure, unadulterated nature. There was a mishap with our booking, but the host handled it well and promptly. In my opinion, that’s a great sign of a good host.

Hedinn from Denmark

Stay for 4 adults and 3 children

It's a charming house, lovingly and tastefully furnished by Bente. It's located near the forest—beautifully secluded in the heart of nature.

Susanne from Germany

Stay for 4 adults and 1 pet

A fantastic, spacious house. We spent two weeks there with six children (ages 9–15) and our dog. Plenty of room for everyone, a great outdoor area, and tasteful, well-equipped furnishings. Just a short walk to the beach. The highlight was the outdoor pools, which were perfect for warming up after a swim in the North Sea. Highly recommended—it has everything you need for a vacation in Denmark. Full marks!

Jens from Germany

Stay for 4 adults, 4 children and 1 pet

Absolutely breathtakingly beautiful! The house was so beautifully decorated, with comfortable beds, a practical kitchen-dining area, the most lovely colors, and wonderful outdoor spaces. And then there’s the setting! We’re at a loss for words to describe the view. It really feels like you’re living right on the water. And the natural scenery is so stunning—it just pours right in through the windows. 💚

Line-Marie from Denmark

Stay for 9 adults and 2 children

A wonderful vacation home, beautifully situated between two lakes, fully furnished, perfect for an idyllic, relaxing vacation

Michael from Austria

Stay for 2 adults

Direct view of the lake—truly gorgeous. The house is very well-equipped. We had everything we needed. The bed was very comfortable. Unfortunately, it’s located right next to the highway, so it’s quite noisy. The path to the beach involves a long walk along the road. The beach is very beautiful, and there are plenty of raspberries to pick. The bathroom is quite small and not suitable for large groups. It also smells musty despite constant ventilation. We felt very comfortable in the garden and really enjoyed playing ball and other activities there. The house is a bit older and has thin walls, but it’s very nicely furnished. Highly recommended!

Sabrina from Germany

Stay for 2 adults and 1 child

Great location and amenities. We really liked it.
