Very friendly and comfortable. Great value and location.
Honestly nothing, it's not 5 star accommodation but price reflects that. It's lovely and welcoming. Would happily stay there again.

Yoko je mila a skvele jsem si s ní popovídali. Ubytování je krasne. Dřevěná chata s pohodlným vybavením. Navíc ma kazdy host nárok na 20minut v masážním křesle za každou strávenou noc.
