Suchva lovely place would highly reccomend. A beautiful quiet spot with the whole lake tonl ourselves, not over looked by anyone. Everything you needed on the lodge and a lovely fireplace to have a fire in thr evenings. Only slight downfall was the bed was very hard. Will be returning and recommending to others. Thank you

What a lovely place, very beautiful and relaxing place, the only thing we found was the bed is quite uncomfortable, as there are to single beds together and quite hard. But otherwise the lodge was clean and the hot tub was amazing, the views are amazing. Will definitely be booking again.
