Eigenaresse neemt ruim de tijd om je welkom te heten en 'tips en trucs' te geven. Spectaculair uitzicht. Ruimte om buiten te zitten. Ook een bushalte voor de deur. Je kan ook vrij makkelijk naar het meer lopen.

I was a little disappointed that no milk was provided nor tea bags or coffee as I stay in Airbnbs on a regular basis and I noticed this property is featured on that site as well.
