숙소의 외관은 깔끔하고 숲속의 단독 건물이라 운치도 있고 좋았습니다. 바베큐 시설도 있더군요. 숙소 내부도 상당히 넓고 구비 시설도 여유가 있고 청결하였습니다. 특히 목욕 시설, 화장실도 널직하게 있고, 이용은 못 했지만 여름에 사용가능한 개인 풀장도 있었습니다. 침대도 편하고 온수 난반 등 모든 면이 편했습니다. 아침에는 정원과 호수 주변을 한바퀴 돌고 가족과 사진을 찍기에 좋았고, 하루 쉬어가기에는 너무 편안하고 좋은 곳입니다. 프런트 직원도 친절하였고, 아침에 맛있는 샌드위치와 커피를 주셔서 너무 좋았습니다. 결론적으로 다음에도 꼭 이용하고 싶네요~ 잘 쉬었다 갑니다.

대만족한 숙소!!

근래 들어 방문한 숙소중에 제일 만족스러웠습니다! 실내 인테리어 깔끔하고 모던하고 깨끗했구요. 화장실 주방 모두 관리가 정말 잘되어 있었어요. 야외 바베큐장도 프라이빗하게 되어있어서 남편이랑 둘이 근처 농협에서 벌집삼겹살 사와서 식사 맛있게 했네요. (삼겹살도 강추입니다.) 사장님 친절하시고요 불편함없이 세심하게 잘챙겨주십니다. 또올게요~!!

자연환경과 어우러진 숙소

자연환경과 어우러진 숙소. 괜찮습니다. 다만 세면대 세정세제가 부족한 상태로 비치. 샤워시설 수압 좋지만, 배수상태 느림. 케이블 티비 조작 어려움. 여름의 경우 새벽부터 매미가 매우 많이 웁니다. 인테리어는 좋으나. 다소 세심한 관리가 되지않아 아쉽습니다.

깨끗하고 친절하고 좋았습니다 단점은 차를타고 나가지 않으면 주변에 아무것도없고 마땅한 식당도 없어요 시내에서 조금 떨어져있네요 가성비따지면 크게 메리트있지는 않습니다 그냥 연인들이 조용히 이용하긴 좋지않을까싶네요
