Wonderfully peacefull relaxing and fire warm cosy lodge in a beautifull private Alpine location. Very much worth the 8km scenic gravel road to get there. Lovey Marg is well suited to her role as house person of the lodge...many thanks to her for providing a most enjoyable renewing stay.

Absolutely loved this small slice of heaven ! Margie was super helpful when asked for recommendations for hikes and things to do in the area and was such a breath of fresh air - thank you ! I ended up staying an extra night ! Very comfy beds and communal space. The views are just incredible.

There is only one space to charge any electronics due to solar power. Not an issue but just to note
