A really cute, clean and comfortable place to stay. The only thing I would recommend is to be prepared for lots of light. There is no window coverings in the second bedroom and the first bedroom has blinds that only go halfway down. If you want a sleep in, bring an eye mask!Bed was comfortable and kitchen was well stocked with basics.The view and watching the sunset was just perfect.

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.
