We take care to prepare the bach prior to each stay and appreciate guests who value and respect its character. In summary This is a special lake-front place, shared thoughtfully with guests who appreciate it as much as we do.

This is one of the most incredible spots on the lake. The house offers a jetty for boat lovers and plenty of parking for boats, trailers and vehicles Sleeping arrangements - inside the house there are two bedrooms with queen beds. Outside there is a bedroom with a double bed and a single bed. In the garage (lined with a heatpump) there are 2 single beds, set of single bunks and a double bunk - garage sleeps 7, house sleeps 12. Please note we are in the process of adding special bits to the house. The garage is lined and now has insulation and a heat pump (we are still to put battons up around the garage and paint it - WIP). We now have WIFI but don't expect it to be fibre speed out at the lake. TV is here with free view and chromecast. ENJOY, it is a beautiful spot...
