We have ample, dedicated street parking with detached garage for longer stays.

We are dedicated to offering a comfortable and natural environment for all our visitors. Please note that some of our bedding contains down feathers, and our decor includes natural elements. To bring the beauty of the natural surroundings indoors, we have left the two picture windows and sliding door uncovered, allowing you to enjoy the view of the forest outside.
