"全体的に良かった。特にキッチン周りの充実(ホームベーカリーやバリスタ、冷蔵庫のデカさ、食器の清潔さ、などなど)や本格的なバレルサウナ、家具などは満足。 一方、チェックイン16時からなので、1泊2日の場合初日は十分にサウナを満喫できず、15時だと嬉しいところ。チェックアウトが11時なので翌日に楽しめたが、できれば時間を気にせず初日に楽しみたい。"

"It's a great location away from the busy life of the city. The lake is crystal clear and great to swim in though we did not see other swimmers. The rooms are small, yet suffice. I'll probably come back again. "

"ドッグランもあり綺麗な宿泊施設でした。 オーナーさんへ伝えたい事も何点かあります。 壁には色々とルールが貼ってあるのですが、 台所の食器等は使用した場合には洗って下さいと記載がありました。 洗った食器を置く台や布巾は無かったので、食器を洗ってから濡れたままコンロの上へ全て置きました。 あとキッチンではサランラップは常備品としてあっても良いのではないでしょうか？ また犬同伴可能な施設であるのにフローリングがツルツルで犬が何度も転けそうになっていました。 ルールが厳しいのは良いですが、その分内容を充実させた方が良いと思います。"

"This is a very local non touristy village. We enjoyed the hospitality (even if we couldn’t communicate) The owner helped accomadate my sea food allergy. We really liked the hot bath available in the beautiful water. The only thing I would say is that it isn’t close to anything and you have to walk about 22 minutes to the train "
