Was okay until hot tub and we both broke out in a rash thought strange when came back was bacteria infection from un treated hot tub head to toe missed 3 days work and both using steroid cream from doctors. Picture shows it secluded there’s mutiple lodges and terraced houses oppersite that look down on you and not sure if another guest or the owners in cottage oppersite but was constantly in the window looking at my partner in bikini. (Little alarming as every time was checking he was in the window looking) area and scenery was fantastic but for romantic get away never again.

Really cute little lodge perfect for couples! There is some road noise but it honestly didn’t bother us and we slept amazingly at night. The kitchen was lovely and clean and had everything we needed. We stayed for 3 nights but it is perfect for longer stays 100%. The hot tub was so warm and was on a ready for us. I would definitely recommend this location for a comfortable lakes trip but also really affordable! Thank you so much for having us!
