We enjoyed our stay very much. The staff are very friendly and helpful. We made use of the laundry service that was quick and it was delivered back to our room. Would definitely recommend to order the breakfast basket, all the products were fresh and delicious.

Easy check in, pleasant staff and beautiful location. Chalet was very clean and comfortable. Hot tub took about 5 hours to warm up but once it was at temperature it was awesome with an amazing view. The "wild" animals walking around added to the relaxing atmosphere. Definitely will be back but next time we will stay a bit longer and bring friends.
