Exactly what we wanted and needed
Spent a week cooking sausages and waking naked between the sauna and the lake. It was exactly what we wanted and needed.
So quiet. So peaceful. Wonderful and friendly relatives of the property owner nearby. Would stay here again and again.
(There were a lot of misquotes, but some repellant supplies were on site that helped.)
