Inside, the house is warm and welcoming, featuring a wood-burning fire in the main living area, plus heat pumps/air-conditioning both upstairs and downstairs for year-round comfort. The well-equipped kitchen makes cooking a breeze, while the 3 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms (including an ensuite) provide plenty of space for up to 12 guests.

It was a perfect location for a girls’ weekend. The setting was beautiful, right next to the lake, and the house was nice and cosy. It had everything we needed. We enjoyed the sunset views and the refreshing dip in the lake.
