Wonderfully equipped property with a wow factor as soon as you walk in. The sauna and hot tub were both really appreciated by all of us.The town was relatively close but there weren’t that many amenities there. Though lots of nice places to see and visit in a relatively short car drive.Would definitely recommend the property to others
