Sehr freundliche und hilfreiche Gastgeber. Das historische Haus ist etwas besonderes und es ist großartig, dass es so gut gepflegt und erhalten wird. Daneben erfüllt es alle Ansprüche an eine moderne Ausstattung.

About the host

Your host

Host profile image
My husband is Finnish and I’m from Puerto Rico. We met working on a sailboat in Fiji. We enjoy hosting and meeting people but we respect your space.

Why they chose this property

The neighborhood is great. We’re surrounded by country side and wheat fields. We have some neighbors but you don’t see them nor hear them. You have the views of the city in the distant and mountains right across. It truly feels like you are in the middle of nowhere while still being close to everything.

What makes this property unique

The newly remodeled living room and kitchen bring warmth to the house and the beautiful handcrafted antique furniture make it stand out. There’s art everywhere you look. From the furniture to the kitchen cabinets to the sculptures inside and out.

We have an indoor sauna you can use at your leisure and an outside sauna that you can rent for 30/40mper day.

Every bedroom has a view to the lake and linens are included.
