Beautiful location. The room was very clean and nice. The staff was very helpful and accommodating. I would describe the property as luxury camping. It is located in the mountains so during our entire stay, it was very windy. The wind was loud. That is the only negative thing and no fault of the hotel.

What can I say about this beautiful place. Hidden away from the hustle and bustle of city life you will find the best place we have stayed! The staff are amazing and nothing is too much hassle for them. The entire site was clean and tidy. The cabins are big but really cute. The food in the restaurant was amazing. And even though we were the only people staying here some days they always had a good spread laid out for breakfast or they would cook it fresh to order. We absolutely loved our stay here and can recommend to anyone thinking of booking this place.

The huts are so beautiful and have a comfy furniture. The fire place is a real highlight. The breakfast is served as a Buffet. A lot of animals in the "farm".
