Mökki oli iso ja siellä oli sähköt ja juokseva vesi. Aamupalatarvikkeet oli tuotu valmiiksi keittiöön. Oikein siistit tilat lukuunottamatta oleskelutilan kokolattiamattoa. Huomionarvoista että mökissä ei ole nettiä eikä telkkaria ja lähistöllä ei ole illallista tai kauppoja. Mökistä on mahtavat näkymät läheiseen metsään ja mäelle. Hintaan kuului myös Watergardenin sisäänpääsy (normaalisti taisi olla noin 15 dollaria), jossa etenkin lummeallas on upea. Ulkosalla viihtyvät myös useat sorsat/ankat joissa riittää ihmeteltävää. ##### Toni Stayed 1 night in Jan 2019 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Leena 1 Nov 2018 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort Lovely gardens and the nicest staff.
