Rene
Stayed here for 3 nights with the family this summer. Excellent house, location and great hosts that helped make us comfortable over the weekend. Right next to the lake if you fancy a swim and the rent includes access to equipment for playing in the water (SUP, life-jackets, etc.).
Want to come back in the winter as there are tons of excellent ski resorts a short distance away. Highly recommended and will stay here again.
