Wonderful location. Living room spacious to sit with 2 couples, make food and drink wine. Parking right next to cabin. View was very nice.

Susan Israel

The cozy living area is so inviting with the most amazing view

Linda United States of America

The cabin was large and fully equipped to cook meals. The view was nice over lava fields. It was a nice place to hang out after a day of exploring. You can't really walk to anything from the cabin except the check in area.

Michelle United States of America

Cottage was super cozy and clean equipped with everything you would need and very nice view overlooking the lake. Staff was super helpful in coming to help us with check-in and showing us where to park our car safe during the yellow alert snow storm. Despite the fact that we had to walk 5-10 minutes in a windy and snowy environment from where we parked the car to the cottage, we enjoyed our stay very much. Highly recommend this cottage!

Phoenie Taiwan

Spacious cottage with loft. Lots of living room space to converge, dining table can fit 6. There were only 3 of us so we were very comfortable.

Norayda Philippines

Adorable cabin with a great view. An excellent break from our camper van.

Michael United States of America

The cottages are in a great location near the lake. They are very quiet and ours had a great view of the incredible landscape. We did not cook much but the kitchen seemed well stocked and I would plan on cooking more if we return as I was not that impressed with the restaurants in the area. The cottage seemed very roomy for the 4 adults in our group with a large open living/dining/kitchen area. It was very comfortable and a nice place to come back to at the end of the day.

Mary United States of America

Cute cottage in a very convenient location. Noon checkout, slightly later than usual, is appreciated.

Fay United States of America

Nice, well equipped cottage. Each bed had small decoration which was lovely.

Genovaite Lithuania

Very cute and tidy cottage, extremely clean and well appointed.
