Es liegt aber der Hauptweg, der zu den anderen Häuser führt. Und zum See muss man auch über die Auffahrt vom Nachbarn und noch an zwei weiteren Häusern vorbei,die den Steg auch komplett einsehen können.Da hätte ich mich aber besser informieren müssen, da ich es mir etwas privater mit eigenem Seezugang gewünscht hätte. ![Blick aus dem Wohnzimmer ](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/e2101c85-03d7-4b8a-8c30-e8b1f4e6e84f-1756646557938.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ##### Angie M.

Es war sehr sauber, geschmackvoll und liebevoll eingerichtet. Technisch sehr gut ausgestattet und es hatte alles gepasst. Es fehlte im und um das Haus an nichts. Mit den Booten ruderten wir auf dem See und fischten. Wir machten Ausflüge mit den Fahrrädern. Der Wald direkt hinter dem Haus lies uns komplett entspannen und Kraft tanken. Natürlich auch die überdachte und gemütliche Terrasse. Die Feuerschale verbreitete Lagerfeuerstimmung und Romantik. Für unseren Sohn war das Baumhaus und die ganze Umgebung ein riesiger Spielplatz und Abenteuerplatz. Er genoss aber auch sein Indoor-Paradies mit eigenem Schlafplatz, Leseecke und Nintendo Mini. Wir kommen gerne wieder. ##### Claudia H. Stayed 7 nights in Jul 2024 ### 4/10 Poor #### Uwe K. 9 Aug 2025 ##### Uwe K. Stayed 13 nights in Jul 2025 ---
