The place was very clean, equipped with a large kitchen and different common rooms to hang out. The room was great and the beds comfortable. The whole guesthouse was probably renovated a while back because it's better live than on the pictures on booking.

    The cabin was super cosy and comfortable! Our lovely hosts were so welcoming including their two dogs. In terms of amenities, they had thought of everything from a well equipped kitchen to dressing gowns in the shower! Enjoying the hot tub after a day of hiking was a great treat! The setting was super peaceful and relaxing. We loved our stay and hope to visit again soon!

    Our stay was great! Johann is a great host, so helpful, attentive, and friendly. He gave us travel advice and maps, got along great with our non-english speaking children. The house is so interestingly decorated and the jacuzzi was wonderful. Everything was clean and attention to details was great. The breakfast was varied and tasty.
