Our family of 10 adults and 5 children had a wonderful week. The kitchen very well equipt for meals. The fridge that wasn’t working was replaced while we were there. The bedding and general area was clean but a few areas needed some more care. The ceiling rafters and fan need to be cleaned!!! We would definitely rent the cottage again.

The cottage was perfect for our family reunion. Big enough for 11 adults and two children. The floor plan is spacious, so we never felt cramped. Some things in the house are a bit old, but still functional. We found the furnishings tasteful and harmonious. The kitchen equipment is sufficient even for a large group. There were also more than enough seating options. There are many watercrafts, both for children and adults. We had a great time, surrounded by nature. Communication with the owner was easy. The property is only partially suitable for people with mobility problems. There is a long staircase into the backyard, which is sloping. There are also many stairs in the house. We couldn't get enough of the view of the lake, which is exactly as shown in the photos. Simply gorgeous! We had a perfect week in this cottage.
