"A very comfortable, peaceful chalet with a beautiful view"

10.0

It is a beautiful, peaceful spot with an easy 5 min drive to the town. Very well equipped, no tv which I loved! Also loved the check in process which involves picking up a jar at the entrance sign. Didn’t meet the owners but we did get a bust from Frankie the dog. We loved this spot.

"Too small and too basic"

3.0

It was clean.

Too small. There are not really two bedrooms as they're only separated by one partial door. One person gets up at night, everyone will wake up with the noise. Steep stairs. Property too small to be comfortable. Priced as a lux escape but really more like a hut on a camp site.

"Very Good"

7.0

Great location, super hot tub, pleasant surroundings, loved the woodwork, the deck and the outside covered dining room with heater.

The dangerous steep stairs up to the bedroom. They are way too narrow, especially to take luggage up and down. Having to use bath towels in the hot tub - we used the spare ones from the unused room, but what if our booking had been for three or four?
