"Pros: Wir haben unseren Aufenthalt sehr genossen. Die Lage ist perfekt; hinter dem Haus ein Bach und der Blick auf die Berge einfach hervorragend. Die Vermieter sind super freundlich. Wir waren mit 8 Personen da und Monika hat an alles gedacht. Auch für diese Personenanzahl waren genügend Betten und Stühle vorhanden. Einzig im Bad wurde es manchmal eng :-) Wir würden jederzeit wiederkommen und werden das auf jeden Fall auch tun. Cons: Das es nur so kurz war :-("
