Beautiful NYE spot
We had a lovely stay for two nights. The spa especially was lovely on a rainy NYE while watching fireworks. A beautiful view and so peaceful.

What an awesome view!
We had such a wonderful, lovely time here. What’s better than enjoying the awesome views from the spa, lighting up a fire, and enjoy some card games we haven’t played for some years?! Thanks for having us :)

Tranquil Lake View Retreat
I took a 3 night stay at this lodge with partner and was completely stoked with the quiet and the lake view. The lodge has a lot of pros on top such as ample wood supply for the fire burner, huge garden with fresh fruit to wonder through, hot tub with a view, spacious rooms, private location, great value, well stocked kitchen and the property manager Max looked after us too. The cons of the property would be minor, my recommendation would be some curtains in the bedroom to allow sleep in if guests in the future wished to do this. We loved this stay and will be back again if we are so lucky to have the opportunity to do so, Thank you guys!
