    Cute private property in a quiet neighbourhood, very clean, comfy beds & couch, excellent location as it’s only a 4 minute drive to the lake front, washing machine and dishwasher, all kitchenware was provided so we didn’t need to bring anything, heat pump and fireplace so was very warm, lovely accomodating hosts, very cheap for what it is!! Couldn’t fault this amazing property :)
