The property is very clean and tidy. It is quiet and relaxing in this place. You will see the beautiful sunset in front of the house together with the stunning view of the lake. The host is very kind and can easily communicate with her. The property is very much equipped with all the things we need especially with the kitchen. The location is very good especially if you need peace and quiet. Overall we are very happy with our stay there.
