Perfect lakeside bach for family time
We loved staying at this bach. The location beside the lake is beautiful. The house has lots of character, a bit older, but a real family home. On the sunny days, we enjoyed lots of walks and bike rides by the lake. On rainy days, there were plenty of books and games to keep us entertained - and always the wonderful view.

Lovely time capsule by the lake
Felt very cozy and lived in. Great location by the lake. Decor was very 1970s, which was pretty charming. Felt like staying at Grandma's house.

Location plus. Fantastic views,
A great place for a getaway. As advertised a comfortable bach, with everything you need except wifi. We felt no need to tip toe as everything showed wear, it really was a place to relax. The front deck was an added bonus with the sun pouring in. Supposed to be minus 4 overnight, the house heating was up to the challenge.

Old gem on the lake
House has a great layout, and that well lived in feel about it. Best part was the location. The little one and an adult were able to wonder to the lake in ease. Great footpath too so can leave the doorstep on your bikes and go! We thoroughly enjoyed our stay here.

Great spot. All you need.
A charming but rather quaintly tired house perfectly positioned. Step back in time, relax and enjoy. Not quiet or secluded but handy to everything and fun. Generous back yard too.

The property has an excellent location but needs a refresh of its furniture. The mattresses and sofas probably need a change.

Enjoyable stay ay Mapou Magic
A comfortable house with everything we needed. Fantastic location. We had some issues with the cleanliness of the house most particularly the windows especially in the dining room and the bedrooms. They were very mouldy and dirty. As we had an asthmatic in our party, we cleaned the windows. We still did enjoy our stay here.
