Beautiful location! Lovely stay in a fresh, clean place.
Süßes Häuschen genau am Wasser! Sehr gut eingerichtet! Schlafzimmer und Bad etwas klein aber voll ausreichend! Die Aussicht ist atemberaubend und das Haus liegt gut für verschiedene Unternehmungen in der Umgebung! Das Haus liegt etwas Abseits von einem Camping Platz! Schöner Platz in der Natur
