Das Haus ist für sein alter gepflegt, es knarzt alles und die Treppe nach oben ist abenteuerlich, Betten gemütlich. Oben nur eine Seite abdunkelbar, lies sich mit Decke lösen. Sehr ruhige Nachbarschaft, See fußläufig erreichbar, dort liegt auch ein Boot welches zum Haus gehört, Waschmaschine funktionierte bedingt, Geschirrspüler fehlt und dafür ist wenig Geschirr vorhanden. Ansonsten alles da was man braucht. Fahrräder haben wir nicht benutzt da nächster Ort mit Einkaufsmöglichkeit ca. 25 Autofahrt Minuten entfernt. Schöne Sitzmöglichkeiten draußen, Feuerstelle und Holz vorhanden, Parkplatz vorm Haus, Fliegengitter für sämtliche Fenster und Terassentür vorhanden, manchmal kaltes Wasser beim Duschen, vier Personen nacheinander klappt nicht, muss aber ja auch nicht unbedingt. Wir empfehlen das Haus auf jeden Fall weiter!!!
