We had a nice short winter break at this property with our 3 kids. The wood fire warmed up the living areas really well and the bach had all the basics we needed. The only downside was for a winter stay the bedding was not really warm enough, I'd recommend taking your own warm duvets in winter. Otherwise, great little place, close to the lake, and reasonably priced!
