Great Central Stay with Everything You Need

We spent two wonderful nights here. The accommodation was very central to town, clean, and fully equipped with a kitchenette, heat pump, and jacuzzi. The kids really enjoyed the heated outdoor pool. Water pressure in the shower was strong too. Only thing to note is to be careful of the unlevel tiles downstairs where the carpet has been removed – kids accidentally kicked the tiles a few times and got slightly hurt. Other than that, it was a great stay.

Great, spacious place walking distance to town and the lake

We stayed during an event and it is a perfectly situated place to walk to the lake and town. There was plenty of space for us with a little baby. It had everything we needed for a week to cook and eat from the apartment. The washing machine was great too! Would recommend!

Great Spot

This spot was great and we wish our stay in the area had been longer so we could better appreciate everything it had to offer! Short walk to the lake, which is stunningly beautiful. And there were some great places to eat within 20 minute walk away (which we were eager to take advantage of because of the beautiful fall weather). The listing was very helpful, especially the pictures! The address connected to the VRBO app did take us to the wrong property at first but we were able to find our way thanks to the host’s photos!

What a spot!

Everything about this location is astounding! The house is so nicely set up, and you really are right next to everything. As a bonus, the shops around the corner are so convenient. Just make sure you check the directions provided by the host. Google Maps and the Bookabach map have the wrong pinpoint on the nap.
