"Overall, this is a magical place to spend a relaxing retreat. The decorating is very comforting, the house is well appointed, and the view over the lawn and out over the lake is sublime. The issues to be aware of to make sure this is for you - you’ll be making and tending a lot of fires if you want to use the hot tub, the sauna or the grill house. They are all heated with wood or charcoal fires. There is no drier for laundry, so be thoughtful about how much washing you do as it could take a bit to dry it on the rack. You may want to encourage the host to leave more towels than just one hand towel and bath towel per person as you’ll want them both for showering as well as sauna/hot tub. Communication definitely works better over WhatsApp than via the app so transition to that as quickly as possible. And, the nearest store is about 15 minutes away via car, so you’ll want to be thoughtful about what you need in order to avoid the 30 minute round trip. This truly is a special place and perfect for a personal retreat if you are the kind of person ok with doing a bit of work to make it really hum."
