The lodge itself was beautiful—spacious, peaceful, and comfortable The only thing missing was a swimming pool, which would have made our stay absolutely perfect. We’d love to come back again in a few years!

I would like to share some feedback following our recent stay at your lodge, as there were several issues that negatively affected our experience. Firstly, the overall cleanliness of the house was very disappointing. There were numerous spider webs throughout the property — including in the kitchen, bathrooms, and bedrooms — which gave the impression that the space had not been thoroughly cleaned or maintained. Additionally, although the cleaner swept and mopped, the floors were left with hair and dead insects. No detergents appeared to have been used, especially in the bathrooms, which raised serious concerns about hygiene. In the one-bedroom unit, we experienced several maintenance issues. The shower was clogged and remained unresolved during our stay. The sliding door was jammed and could not be opened, and the bedroom door handle was broken, preventing the door from closing properly — which affected our privacy. We also found that all the towels provided had a very unpleasant odor, making them unusable. Upon arrival, there was no dishwashing liquid available, which was particularly inconvenient as we needed clean dishes for our Saturday breakfast. Furthermore, no toilet paper was provided at check-in, and throughout the stay, we had to repeatedly request toilet rolls. Thank you for your attention to this matter.
