Very nice wooden cottages! but there were no staff to assist us in going to our room.
ARNOLD V., 1-night trip

8/10 Very good

The description online indicated that there is a reception and restaurant on premises. However, they were both closed our entire stay. It was very inconvenient to have to go into town for food.
Miriam, 4-night trip

8/10 Very good

priced a little too high

This was a nice place. The description said 3 twin beds. It did not say that 2 were up steep stairs to a loft. Common area was nice and good kitchen facilities. I felt price was high since everything offered cost extra. Bathroom floor was not leveled properly so water ran over entire floor.

Un. Cadre idyllique, propreté de la chambre et des espaces communs, réceptionniste très sympathique et souriante, opportune, rivière avec plusieurs ponts à traverser petite cabane, perdue au milieu de la forêt… possibilité de faire des feux en extérieur pour le barbecue ou se réchauffer… de très bons moments

何より雰囲気が最高でした。対応や説明が丁寧で問題なく過ごすことができました。
Nonoka, 1-night trip

8/10 Very good

ツインタイプの部屋に泊まりました。 ロッジ風の小屋で、４部屋で共同のトイレ、シャワールーム/洗面でした。 12月は-10度ほど行く日もたりましたが、オイル暖房でとても部屋はあたたかかったです。 滞在中、雨が降った日だけ2〜3分の停電が何度もありました。 共同洗面にはドライヤーがあり、また、電子レンジ、湯沸かし器、使い捨てスプーン、フォーク、紙皿、紙コップがあり、重宝しました。 施設全般としては清潔に保たれており、快適でした。
