Loved it, quiet, comfy, amazing location, off grid lodge. Heaven.

Staff are a little hard to get in touch with but nothing to worry about.

"Solution pour faire des ballades en VTT, mais sans intérêt pour faire une étape en voiture."

6.0

Au bout d’une piste de 6km ce lodge est situé en pleine nature et le calme est absolu, mis à part les nuisances sonores émises par les occupants. Les sanitaires collectifs sont suffisamment nombreux et propres.

La Check in est un peu tardif (15h) et sans dérogation. Avant 15 h, une personne est présente à l’accueil, puis ensuite personne jusqu’au lendemain matin. Notre chambre est équipée de 3 prises électriques, mais aucune ne fonctionne. Donc impossible de recharger nos téléphones et surtout pour utiliser mon appareil nécessaire à réguler mes apnées du sommeil. Impossible de prendre une tasse de café sur place. Cuisine et vaisselle à disposition, mas même pas du café soluble.

Wer die Angelegenheit sucht, ist hier genau richtig. Große Küche mit allem drum und dran. Super Lage, um viele Tagestracks zu meistern.

Strom ist nur limitiert verfügbar, da komplett autarker Solarbetrieb. Für Bettwäsche muss man extra zahlen.

Cadre du lieu exceptionnel au milieu des montagnes. l'endroit est simple et confortable, esprit de chalet. Les propriétaires sont très gentils. Attention, route de graviers sur plusieurs kilomètres pour accéder au Lodge mais faisable avec tout type de voiture (j'ai une petite Toyota Corolla), mais le chemin est magnifique et personne sur la route c'est agréable.
