“Ystävällinen henkilökunta, lumimyrskyn jälkeen tiet aurattu. Paras sauna ja takka. Puita riittävästi.”
“Cudowne miejsce przy jeziorze, w lesie. W domku pachniało drewnem do opalania kominka, co było dodatkowym autorem. Sauna znajduje się na zewnątrz - ale to także dodatkowy aut, żeby odpowiednio się schłodzić po seansie. Domek przytulny, z pięknym widokiem, blisko natury. Personel bardzo pomocny. Na pewno wrócimy!”
