The stay was quite pleasant, offering a peaceful retreat with amazing views of the surrounding hills. The room was spacious and comfortable, which made for a relaxing atmosphere. It's just a short drive to the main area where you can find cafes and shops, although I wish there was a kitchen sink for washing dishes instead of having to do it in the bathroom. The tranquility and scenic beauty were definitely the highlights of my stay.

great view but lacking direct dining options
The cabin was spacious with a lovely view of the mountains. It was clean and had a heater for the chilly nights. The location felt secluded, perfect for a relaxing getaway.
Limited dining options nearby made meal planning a bit tricky.

Absolutely adored our spacious unit! It was cozy and clean, with gorgeous views of the trees. Plus, super quick drive into the town for a delicious meal!
The WiFi was as useless as a chocolate teapot! And without an aircon, let’s just say I was sweating more than a sinner in church.

The location is fantastic! ! Just a quick drive to town and surrounded by glorious nature. The chalet we had was super spacious, clean with a full kitchen and had a cozy living area with a couch and table that had stunning views!
No complaints whatsoever.

It was just a fine choice for a brief stopover with great value for the money. The kitchen in our chalet was fully workable and made meal prep easy for the family. Bring extra water bottles as the provided 1.5-liter isn't enough for everyone.

The chalet provided a comfortable and private experience with fantastic mountain views. however, the lack of a kitchen sink made dishwashing a hassle. The location is quiet and just a short drive from the village, making it perfect for exploring the area.

Modern facilities with gorgeous mountain views
I really enjoyed my stay. The accommodation was modern, with a comfy bed and a tidy bathroom that had excellent water pressure. The kitchenette had a microwave and essential utensils, though I did miss having a sink for washing dishes — that had to be done in the bathroom sink. The location offers stunning mountain views and is just a quick drive from the main area, but it would be great to have more direct access to local dining options.

The Queen Studio was roomy, featuring a comfortable couch and a good-sized dining set. The location is peaceful and perfect for stargazing, with staff providing helpful insights about local dining options. However, some amenities like WiFi could use improvement, and the laundry facilities had limited hours, making it tricky to find the right time. While the stay was enjoyable, more accessible services would enhance the experience.
