My second stay. I noticed the TV wasn’t connected to cable, so hopefully next time that will have been remedied. All in all, another fine accommodation.

The owners were great, very friendly and quick to reply. The suite is very big and the couches were comfortable and the sauna is a great bonus. The suite was very clean. The issues were: The hottub was nice and hot but had a film on the surfaces, there iant a sink in the kitchen so diahes are done in the kaundry aink and the bed is really uncomfortable. You also access the suite by going through the entry to their home which feels intrusive (we had a late hockey game and i felt bad coming in). The driveway is a long way back from the road so you defineteky would only have space for a car and the details say a welcome fruit basket/gift for multiple nights but there wasn't one... which is totally fine as we had brought our own. I would recommend bringing your own frying pan as the one there is small and didn't work well... and the hide a bed is held together with packing tape...but confy according to my kiddo. I usually only leave great reviews and this one has some positivea like the size and cleanliness and the owners are really nice, it's just a know before you go kind of thing.

Very nice with everything needed for a quiet stay. The TV didn't seem to work properly, but that's a minor point that the owner could deal with to make this a 5-star rating.

I enjoyed having access to a washer and drier as well as the sauna. It was a clean relaxing environment with an amazing set up and large fridge. It would be perfect for longer stays, I didn’t want to leave!

Nette Unterkunft
Wir waren für zwei Nächte dort. Die Wohnung ist nett und urig eingerichtet, auch wenn die Heizung des Hauses mit in der Wohnung ist. Das Schlafsofa ist bequem, das Bett auch. Die Wohnung befindet sich im Erdgeschoss von dem Haus der Vermieter. Die Kommunikation lief reibungslos ab. Jedoch ist die Wohnung eher was für Erwachsene ohne Kleinkinder geeignet. Die Lage ist sehr ruhig, zum See sind es aber auch noch paar Autominuten. Die Landschaft und Wanderwege vor Ort sind super.
