Beautiful place! In an extraordinary location with small river and trees around it for a breathtaking view of nature.  Really great place if you want to step away from everything, enjoy silence and relax!

Once again we had an excellent stay at the cabin! This is such a perfect place to relax and unwind- private and peaceful but also close to cafes and tavernas.  Thank you to Leon for his hospitality and impeccable responsiveness!

Mooi gelegen boshut op een ruim perceel! Boshut is zeer sfeervol en ruim. De keuken is met een elektrisch 2 pits toestel wat beperkt. Uitzicht vanaf de bank is super!
