Herrliche ruhige Lage mitten in der Natur.Am See gibt es eine Badestelle und man kann auf dem See entspannt Motorboot fahren und dabei die Natur genießen.Im gemütlichen urigem FH ist alles da, was man für Selbstverpflegung braucht. Es war sehr sauber und einladend. Von Vorteil ist ein Ansprechpartner vor Ort, Markus, der sich immer sofort um Anliegen gekümmert hat. Wir haben uns in dem Haus und der umgebenden Natur sehr wohl gefühlt und empfehlen es gern weiter.Eine Anmerkung zum Schluss: auf den Fotos erscheint der See unmittelbar am Ferienhaus. Tatsächlich muss man ca 200 Meter durch den Wald, was aber auch kein Problem darstellt.

Ein wunderschönes Ferienhaus mitten im Wald. Die große Vögelvielfalt zwitschert den ganzen Tag. Wir hatten wunderschöne Tage auch bei nicht so gutem Wetter. Man kann wunderschöne Radtouren machen. Gleich am ersten Tag haben wir einen Elch gesehen und insgesamt Fünf mal. Einmal beim wandern und zweimal beim radeln. Und Abends langsam mit dem Auto über abgelegene Straßen sahen wir Rehe, Hasen Kraniche und zweimal einen Elch die Natur die Stille einfach nur schön. Man möchte garnicht wieder weg. Auf dem See hatte der Adler einen Horst, es lohnt sich mit dem Boot hinzufahren. Wir möchten auch Danke an Marcus sagen. Ein toller Verwalter der uns gut betreut hat. Rundum kann man das Ferienhaus nur empfehlen für Familien oder auch nur Paare. Erwähnen möchte ich noch die tolle Qualität der Betten. Super Matratzen. Ich habe noch nie in einem Ferienhaus so gut geschlafen Es ist einfach nur schön. Danke Annette und Danke Marcus
