Laadukas hotelli rauhallisella ja viihtyisällä paikalla järvenrannassa. Siisti ja mukava huone, hyvät sängyt. Henkilökunta oli poikkeuksetta ystävällistä ja avuliasta. Viihdyimme oikein hyvin, ja tulemme varmasti toistekin.

Hyvä aamiainen, siisti ja tyylikäs huone. Sauna ja avanto plussaa. Salillakin hyvän treenin tekee, mutta ei tällä hiihtoreissulla tullut käyttöön.

Siisti ja viihtyisä hotelli. Piha on todella kaunis ja rauhallisella paikalla. Tosi hyvä aamupala, ehkä parhaimpia mitä olen hotellissa syönyt. Myös 4 v poikani viihtyi hyvin!

We arrived pretty late and did not expect to be welcomed by the hotel's staff (we received check-in instructions in case the reception was closed). To ou surprise, they were waiting for us with a complimentary drink and a lot of friendly recommendations for dinner and activities in the area. They also changed our room for a bigger lakeside one with a great view. Our only regret was to only stay there one night.
