We loved everything about this Bookabach - the hosts were warm and welcoming, the quiet and peaceful location was beautiful, we hiked along the river bank to the lake (and back) and grabbed brunch at a fabulous cafe "On the Spot". The studio was spotless, with fresh flowers and the bed was very comfortable. Highly recommend!
