    I highly recommend this little corner of the world to everyone. We've been there twice now and would go back again and again. It has everything you need for a short stay. I love the fire pit and the nature.

    Great. Stefan is a fantastic host. The lodge was great—it even had lights and electricity. The location was excellent. Despite being a dry toilet, it was in a class of its own—it even had decent toilet paper, a sink, and hand sanitizer. The fire pit invites you to linger; plenty of firewood is available for a donation—there was even a grill rack... The sausages and corn on the cob turned out great. The hammock was fantastic—even though we brought our own. As soon as it gets dark, lights come on everywhere and create a cozy atmosphere. Fully fenced in, which was also great for our dog Lucky. We’d go back anytime and give it our unreserved and unconditional recommendation...
