Michael
We had a great time at this bach, exploring the surrounding area during a long sunny weekend. Very cozy with a good log burner and everything that one could wish for. Still an old style bach which are hard to find nowadays. Thanks a lot for letting us stay.
Constanze
We had the most wonderful time at this beautiful and cozy cabin. The best way to pass a few rainy days. The fire kept us warm and toasty. The nearby lake is fabulous. The Breaburn Walk is just around the corner to see a spectacular waterfall. The communication with the host was flawless and easy.
Response from Owner
Thank you so much for this lovely review. We are so happy you enjoyed your stay. It certainly is a beautiful part of the country. Cheers
