My room overlooked the farmland and the lake. So quiet and comfortable. Charming daughter (?) Was an excellent hostess.

Claudette United States of America

This hotel is right on the lake and its a very nice view. The wi-fi was free, but you had to go into the common area to get a good signal. The common area had a tv, couches, and some tables. There was a kitchen in the back of the building. The breakfast was pretty basic but good.

Lillian United States of America

It was very clean, kitchen quite small but well equiped The view on the lake

Antoine France

Very clean and comfortable, cozy atmosphere. Very nice hosts and good breakfast. The kitchen is small, but has every appliance you need ( oven, coffeemaker, water kettle).

Reka Germany

Pretty setting and very quiet. The kitchen was large and well equipped.

My fiance and I were the only guests staying here for a night this winter. We had a lovely stay - our room with private bathroom was spacious, comfortable, and clean. The host was super sweet and friendly - and so was her kitty! :)
