The house really suits families, small groups, and teams who are respectful, relaxed, and comfortable with a traditional bach beside the water. Many of our guests return year after year, because they just fall in love with the spot.

Important information – please read before booking
This property is a family-used bach, not a purpose-built holiday rental.
Due to occasional gaps between stays, there may sometimes be light dust or insects typical of a lake-side environment.
This property is not suitable for parties or loud gatherings.
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. If you’re looking for somewhere to slow down, enjoy being right by the water, and spend meaningful time together, this bach may be exactly what you’re seeking.
We especially enjoy welcoming return guests who feel connected to the spirit of the place.
