Alles super, wenn man etwas negatives finden möchte dann vielleicht das fehlende W-LAN. Dies wäre in der heutigen Zeit schon angebracht. Ansonsten TOP!
Bostaden var helt underbar, placerad i skogen 2 km från närmaste väg bidrog till skogens lugn. Huset ser ut som en mycket gammal timmer stuga på utsidan men är en toppmodern villa inne. Underbar vistelse.

Avkopplingssemester
Kombinationen en gammal timmerstuga på utsidan men en toppmodern villa på insidan. Placerad långt in i skogen vid en sjö. 2 km till närmsta väg gör att det är så tyst o skönt. Man kan bada bastu o svalka sig i sjön, grilla o ute eller i grillkåtan. Fiska i sjön, vandra i den fina skogen, plocka svamp. Bara vara, sitta o ta det lugnt, läsa, njuta av allt. Påhälsad av fåglar och ibland renar som går förbi. Jag har varit på många platser i varierande boenden och den här får en stark 10-poäng av 10.

Suhteellisen kriittinen olen, mutta tässä tapauksessa majoitusta häiritsi vain kaksi asiaa: Hyttyset (ei voi mitään...) ja Pieni sähläys avainlokeroiden suhteen (selvisi kyllä, mutta voisin toivoa, että yhteyshenkilö osaa kysyä tarkemmin tiedon siitä minkä niminen mökki tulikaan varattua. Ei varaaja välttämättä muista oliko se kuusikko, männikkö, koivikko vai mikä olikaan) Muuten paikka oli 10+

Prachtig romantische blokhut op mooie locatie
Prachtige blokhut met in de winter goede verwarming en open haard, mooi gelegen in het bos met uitzicht op een meer. De dichstbijzijnde buren op 100 meter. Wel jammer dat wij verouderde informatie over het sleuteladres meekregen. Hierdoor zijn we onnodig een uur onderweg geweest naar een sleuteladres. De sleutel zat uiteindelijk gewoon in een kluisje bij de woning zelf.
