Beautiful view of the lake and mountains. Superbly equipped, beds lovely and comfortable, lots of hot water and powerful showers. Loads of comfortable seating, nice television and spacious dining area. The only issue was that the key code was incorrect but we rung up Bachcare and they had a man round within ten minutes to give us a key. Great communication with Bachcare also making it a wonderful family holiday for 7 of us. ##### Anthony M. Stayed 10 nights in Dec 2024 Verified ### 8/10 Good #### Bernadette C. 12 Aug 2023 Liked: Communication, location, listing accuracy Disliked: Check-in #### Family Ski Holiday Lovely stay. An issue when we arrived in that the code didn't work. I had to ring to get the information (after standing in the cold with a toddler and 3 month old baby) that the lock box was broken and the key was under the mat! A few of the beds were very soft and uncomfortable as well. But having said that there was plenty of room for us all and we were warm and cosy with a great view. ##### Bernadette C. Stayed 6 nights in Aug 2023 Verified ### 10/10 Excellent #### Karolyn J. 18 Jan 2026 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy Spacious! The view! Location. We loved everything about the space. We would definitely stay again! ##### Karolyn J.
