beautiful space, challenging communication
This cabin was a fantastic spot for our team retreat! The space was perfect for our team of 8, and the setting was gorgeous. We loved the large gathering room downstairs and lots of room outside for outdoor activities. Our only challenges were that the check in/check out were listed inaccurately online, and we had planned our travels around it. I also found that when I sent a message for more info, I was sometimes getting back a copy and paste from the listing, versus actual answers to my questions. I worried at times that this was not a real listing, but luckily it was!

Dream Cabin! Great for large families!
The property had everything you needed. Plenty of room for everyone to sleep. It was clean and in excellent condition. The amenities are ridiculous! Volleyball court, basketball court, horse shoes pit, spa, sauna, foosball table, pool table the list goes on and on. One of our favorite things was access out of the backyard and into the wilderness where there are walking paths and a new hiking trail called maple hill hiking trail. It was beautiful! We would definitely stay here again!

This property is great. The yard is amazing. So big we all had such a great time. We didn't even need to leave the house. Cooked every night on the barbecue, sat out by the fire and played games in the grass and sand. Everyone had a great Labor day weekend!!

most beautiful place for vacation
Martin Great big house with everything you need for a successful holiday. Large kitchen connected with huge living-dining area. Room for more than 16 people, great bathrooms and everything was very clean and nice. For entertainment in the house there are huge tv's, pool billiards, foosball and much more. In the Aubenbereich there is everything you need for active relaxation, whirlpool, beach volleyball court, large barbecue area and plenty of space. By car you are in 5 minutes in the city where you will find everything you need to live. You do not need to go to the lake anymore and the landscape is so beautiful. It was a fantastic holiday and we will be back in winter and next summer.
