i adored how private the chalet felt, tucked away amongst the trees. the spa bath was a true luxury after hiking, such a soothing treat. the heating system was simple to operate, it kept everything cozy. the bed was very comfy too.

amazing viewswarm roomcosy bedlimited food

The location provided amazing views from every window. The room was very warm and cosy. The bed offered great comfort. I found luxurious toiletries, an unexpected bonus. I will certainly consider staying here again.

I was disappointed by the limited food options after a certain hour. The pizza, advertised until 7:30 PM, was unavailable by 7 PM due to the kitchen closing. Getting even a simple bowl of chips was impossible. That was frustrating.
